Warsong Commander Nerf Incoming
Grim Patron isn't going to be the same. The patch will go live next week.
Quote from ZeriyahThe following balance change will be made in an upcoming patch:
Warsong Commander now reads: Your Charge minions have +1 Attack.
Over the course of the short but impactful history of Hearthstone, we’ve taken a strong stance that we’d like to make changes to cards only when they are completely necessary. The direction of gameplay and the metagame should be defined by our players, and as the meta is evolving, many different types of decks can emerge. Cards that were once impactful in the meta can be less so once new strategies emerge, and that change is brought on by the constant need and drive for innovation by our players.
Innovation is just one way a game can evolve, and the best way to shake up the meta and innovate in Hearthstone is by introducing new cards into the game. Introducing new cards to Hearthstone is our preferred method of changing the current state of the game. It’s exciting to discover a deck that may have an advantage over a popular deck out there, and new cards lead to the discovery of new combinations, and new conversations. Hearthstone thrives off of stories about enjoying a fast-paced, fun game with friends that’s full of delightful surprises.
Going forward, we will continue to stand by our stance that we will only make adjustments to cards when we feel it is completely necessary and allow the injection of new cards into the game help our players define what the meta evolves into. In the case of Warsong Commander, we felt this change was necessary to help expand both future design space and to stand by our overarching game philosophy that battles between minions and fighting for board control is what makes Hearthstone fun and compelling.
The patch that includes the Warsong Commander change is currently planned for next week. (Source)
I know a nerf has been a long time coming, but Patron Warrior has been on the decline since TBT. I've faced probably 5 patron decks last season from rank 20 to rank 10, and the majority of them couldn't even play it correctly.
you had a good run patron, but your time has come to an end.
Enjoy playing against Mid Range Paladin, Secret Paladin, Mid range Hunter, Tempo Mage and Mech Mage every game now.
Oh yeah, we've surely enjoyed Patron along with all these mentioned...
thanks, I will. I'll gladly play a tempo mage
They should really change it to a 2 mana card now, the effect isn't nearly as powerful.
Look at all these salty patron players Kappa
FCK YES! Finally! Do it before Blizzcon, I beg you! Let's see who the real champion is!
Sooo... the next adventure is going to contain Charge minion for Warrior to create Charge Warrior archetype? Otherwise this seems like a very very harsh nerf.
Still, we got what we wanted in a Patron Nerf so that's nothing to complain about.
so they basicaly destron grim patron deck, now we will see ladder full of secret paladins and othere cancer shit, gj blizzard destroy the ONLY 1 skilled deck.
yes if you playing it in top 100 legend, but someone who rank 10 will never understand that.
I'd love to see you try reach high ranks with that deck and fail miserably so I could laugh at you and I'm guessing your aggro cancer ebola plague decks.
Patron was completely unfair but this nerf is way too much.
I'm all in favor of nerfing Savage Roar to cost 4 mana so that the combo (i.e the ONLY thing keeping Druid relevant in tournaments and high legend ranks right now) is still viable, but slowing it down by one turn and basically eliminating the extreme outliers of T6 double Roar and T10 double Combo.
In exchange, buff Starfall and possibly Starfiire to become relevant removal and make Control Druid a real possibility.
Butnah, this is Blizz we're talking about, "our philosophy is to occasionally release a new expansion that may or may not indirectly buff some previously unplayable cards, because god forbid we dare tampering with virtual cards in a TCG that's played exclusively online".
Sigh.
Well it IS a nice change from taking 23 damage over the first 4 turns of the game...
NEIN
"Sorry that happened"
This card is dead now. Like blizzard always do, they kill the cards when they try to "nerf" it.
Good. Screw that deck. Nobody should be able to hit me for 90 on one turn with shit they just drew. It's broken.
