Guys, Patches is good but not broken. Don't make the confusion between these two. Patches doesn't create a mechanic that cannot be countered. Pirate decks can be countered by all classes, so there are no conditions to trigger the nerf hammer over patches.
I can see patches losing charge
But he's already... patched.
I've no clue what I'm doing...
Really? You feel that 1/1 charge minion is a broken legendary?
I LIKE READING!

Patches isn't the problem, it's warrior's weapons and burn spells. Make winaxe 3 mana, frothing 4 mana, korkron elite a 3/4...
Patches is fine. Small-Time Buccaneer is the real issue with the current pirate deck.
I can't believe all the bitching about pirate warrior. Have you people not heard of acidic swamp ooze and taunt?
