Leper Gnome is powerful for its cost, finds its way into almost every aggressive deck, and requires no further deck building decisions to be effective. We’d like other 1 mana minions to be more compelling, so we’re reducing its Attack from 2 to 1.
I'm just another one of those. You know, those who do things. Things that need to be done by those that do these things in order to do those things that don't do these things themselves. Has the word 'things' lost meaning to you already?
Yes, I love it, I would've even reduced the deathrattle damage, but I'm really happy about this change. Death to aggro and welcome our new Old God overlords!

Whoever designed Jade Idol and thought it was a good and healthy card for the game has clearly never played HS.
Leper Gnome is receiving a nerf!
I am now willing to give you a big hug.
Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is a nightmare.
Nice nerf . This was needed :D
I have 5 copies of these bastards! Dust, come to me!
I 100% agree on this change. Death to Aggro please.

Good, always hated gnomes.

[Game] Name another card that has the same...
Retarded nerf. The card was fine the way it was before.
Leper Gnome, my old friend... :)
S U P E R !!
For someone who really hates this card, I love the nerf. Fuck you aggro!
It hurts aggro a tiny bit and opens up the 1 drop slot in aggro/zoo decks for more variety.
Meh. The game lost a useful 1-drop. I guess the good news is that this is a buff to all 2 mana 3/2s, like Faerie Dragon.
He just wanted Hugs . . .

Excellent change! But now we have to figure out how to deal with all those pesky Workgen Infiltrators...
Sorry, but face is NOT place :P

Still a decent card for an aggro deck, deserved nerf, probably will see niche play on the more aggressive decks out there.
Finally! All these little changes makes aggro cards still playable but don't have that much reach like before.
They pretty much nailed this one, though I wouldn't have been sad if the DR damage had been reduced to 1.

One of the only reasonable nerfs. I still think it should've been 2/1 with DR deal 1 damage to the hero, but this is fine.
