The thing is, and this is something that blizz pointed this out, both for winaxe and innervate: they are basic cards. They are cards that you literally start the game with. As such, simplicity is the utmost key so that you can ease new players into the game. That is an extremely legit reason to not add extra, complicated mechanics.
Jesus. I've been playing warrior since beta and this is the lamest nerf ive seen so far. All these years and NOW firey war axe is too over powered??! Warrior has WAAAAY too many essential 3 mana cards and this doesnt help that at all
Can't Attack heroes is a 3 word sentence.
They ruined the card because of people that can't be arsed to read 3 word sentences.
Is that how Blizzard imagines players of card games? This isn't a sidescrolling platformer or a kart racer party game. IT'S a FLIPPING CARD GAME.
I don't understand why people are complaining. Because of this change we will see other cards being play and it will be interesting to see what new Early Game warriors decide to develop, such as King's Defender.
It may not seem like that big of a deal, but the reason why so many cards don't see play is because of Auto Include classic cards like Firey Win Axe.
One of the most annoying cards in the game is now not nearly so annoying.
I approve this change.

My version would be 2 mana 3/2 weapon loose 2 durability if damages the enemy hero
it would stop aggro hitting face, cause the weapon would have only 1 charge for themthat way, and motivates them to make trades.
I know its a basic card and it should be simple, mostly blank, but i think it would be better this way, and not OP. (especially in pirate warrior).

So Blizzard axed the axe. And the nerf is worse than this pun.
Seriously, if you want to keep specifically pirate warrior in check, why won't you nerf some pirates? No, they have to destroy the most iconic card for the class and then write a blog post telling people how the axe was good in conjunction with pirates and weapon buffs (both of which are only ever used in the pirate type of warrior)!!! And don't forget to double down by destroying one of the most iconic druid cards.
At least the nerfed fiery war axe has better synergy with Forge of Souls (without floating mana). Always look on the bright side...
While I do not agree with the nerf at all, simply changing war axe to not be able to hit hero would barely impact the card at all. EVen pirate warrior mostly uses it to control the board early on, because the card is too efficient at doing that to not do it in most situations.
Of course they had to nerf it. Every time they tried to make warrior a curvestone class it got too good (pirate, dragon). Now they can make rage warrior the next expansion. Weeeh.
Of course the answer could have been NOT to make it a curvestone class, since we got curvestone up the wazoo. But hey, who cares about that.
6 damage for 3 mana. That's quite enough.
FWA was an overpowered card which warrior was too reliant upon. The nerf will sting, but you'll adapt.
Suffice to say that cheap weapons don't deserve to exist.
Look at what weapons have been broken: Old FWA, Old Spirit Claws and Jade Claws. None of them cost more than 2. Cheap weapons give far too much tempo for too little investment. If a weapon has better stats than a Divine Shield minion of the same cost, then it's too good.

Of course, they could just not make vomit decks... but I realize that this is a very drastic design shift.
