@AndreiRo: Bro, did you really post this after you flooded the group therapy with insults to other players and blizzard? You sure you dont have anger management issues? I looked at your post history, and 9/10 posts are filled of hatred to this game, devs and other players.You ok buddy?
At least I don't open a topic about my personal frustrations related to the game. If OP posted on the salt thread, I wouldn't mind whatever issues he has with the game.

Are you going full cancel culture based on someone's posts in the vent thread? He makes good points in the non-vent threads and i don't see the problem.
Learn what cancel culture is, before using this term.You kids use english words and dont even know their meaning or purpose.He doesnt make good points if he insults a lot of players and devs.If a person cant have a discussion without insulting, than maybe its time to see a doctor?Nice try white knight
I know very well what cancel culture is and its manifestations, people like you go through someone's post history to try to sway publi opinion about them or discredit them. Calling people "kids" doesn't make you seem wiser, just ignorant. I hope you see the irony of your post.
The Lightning Bloom nerf was more than welcome. You do realize that the card is a Druid/Shaman card, right? Druid is equally guilty of abusing this card, with this card taking the place of Innervate. Ramping big shit out early, and in one instance for me, ramping out Guff by turn 1. I am surprised the nerf finally came, because there were a lot of people that were complaining about Lightning Bloom while it was still in Standard. Sure, it took a weird ass mechanic with Colossal being introduced to finally get the nerf done, but it needed to be done.
Besides, Druid has a crippling reliance to ramp spells. Any Druid deck you faced (with the exception of Token Druid) used this card.
Quick Correction, he is anything but "well meaning". Very difficult to attribute positive intentions to a man who redefines "person of color" to include or exclude Asians as his personal soapbox demands.
Since you are so good at making judgements about others. What would you say about an individual that continues to defend a corporation which has engaged in horrific behavior toward both their employees and their customers?

I think you misunderstood shadowrisen's comment; they're saying the guy is a bad person, not defending him
Anyway, rant over. All of that to say: yes, devs and game designers don't have time to play the game that much because the priority of money-holders isn't in that, it's in innovation and new content. That's also what QA and/or R&D is for (which game designers can do some of, but again, isn't their job, or the priority they are usually given), but the former is unfortunately usually sacrified by idiot execs "because it costs a lot", without a care for the fact that less QA == less quality. And yes, i derailed heavily, but my point to your message was somewhere in there i think.
The fact remains that there are plenty of developers who do play their own games. Hearthstone developers used to play Hearthstone all the time. Same with Runeterra. Marvel Snap streamers are always running into Ben Brode in ranked play.
It may not be an individual developer's fault that they aren't given the time during the workweek to play their own game (or better yet, required to play it), but that doesn't make it right. It can be done, it has been done, and it is currently being done in other games.

Wait, token druid didn't use Lightning Bloom? As far as I am concerned, everybody, except maybe UiS aggro druid used this, since it was simply put a cheap way to buff even further making an absolutely unfair turn out of nowhere.
Innervate was a terrible design, and adding Overload and shaman tag to it did little to nothing to fix it.
And what exactly is wrong with wild format since the mass nerf ? Nothing has changed. You have good matchup you win, you have bad matchup you lose, because overall card quality and deck consistency are too high and hard counter tech too many, for skill to matter.
Still a lot more fun than standard though.
Actual impact on wild format would require a nerf the size of which you've never seen. But occasionally destroying OP cards can't hurt even if it doesn't fix any underlying issue.
The funniest part about this whole thread is calling Zeddy "well meaning".
The guy literally lied and attacked the game to gain attention, because he really has nothing to offer other than salt.

EDIT: Because those are things said while angry.
What is this thread about?!

Well, some people like me likes his content, he is not a sellout boy begging for some Blizzard charity...
I refuse to believe someone is soo stupid to actually believe it. IMPOSSIBLE.
It has to be Zeddy viewer who's tryin to get Zeddy some attention.

Nope, he has gone the opposite way, exaggerating the negatives and then inventing some (i.e. lying) when there's no bad news to talk about.
