Lets nerf BGH and release this f***er
Hey you guys wanna know a fun card to play against?
Not this one.
There was a time, a long time ago when the famous Chillwind Yeti a plain 4/5 was considered one of the strongest 4 drops in the game.
My my my, how power creep has developed.
Ancient curse was balanced because of the 7 damage you will take at some point and on top of that the fact it has only 4 health. If this card was a 6/6 or a 6/7 I think it'd be a lot more balanced than it is now..
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Dr. Boom is more balanced then this little shit. At least Boom is seven mana, so by the time someone plays him you'll have the appropriate answer.
yeah, instead of buffing shitty shaman cards and release new balanced ones card let's release overpowered ones to compensate because blizz don't want to move it's lazy ass.
Does anyone remember Fireguard Destroyer?
That shit hardly compares to a certain 7/7.
And thus, with everyone claiming that there would never be a 4-drop that would beat or even match Piloted Shredder's overbudget, Blizzard said: "Challenge accepted."
Guys this card is not that op. This card is literally the only big minion in an aggro or midrange shaman deck. Most of your decks likely have ways to deal with big threats efficiently so what is the problem.
Yeah that's right! Massive minions as early as turn three are perfectly balanced! Flamewreath is fine and doesn't need a nerf.
While we're at it, let's unnerf Undertaker, because after all, It's perfectly normal to have a 4/5 as early as turn two.
and here was me thinking aggro decks ran lots of big minions
thanks for correcting me
So they sat on the table at HS office meeting room and they have the following discussion.
Master Balancer: Ok guys Shaman sucks, let's fix it
Bob The Troll: Oh i have an idea sir, let's give them a 7/7
Master Balancer: Excellent idea Bob, let's do that
Bob The Troll: oh oh oh sir also let's make have a non-sensical low overload let's say 2 crystals
Master Balancer: Sure bob sounds balanced enough
Bob The Troll: Oh sir and a final addition that i think it's very much needed, let's make it cost 4 mana, on top of that let's introduce another low cost minion that can unlock the overload crystals next turn.
Master Balancer: That's sound great bob, you are a genius, a 4-mana, 7/7 with an insignificant overload what can go wrong, in fact it's a bit weak let's also make it common
Room: "Eerie silence"
Master Balancer: Release it!
Bob The Troll: Ok these guys are bigger trolls than me i quit.
We: BGH is too good Blizzard plz..
Blizzard: We finally nerfed it.. Also here's a 4 mana 7/7!
We: Blizz plz.. :(
BBrode: HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
Made my day
Yep. 1 mana =/= 2 overload as it used to be, but 1 mana also certainly isn't the same as 1 overload.
