So now everyone have 1600 free dust?

Well this nerf i think is an overdue, actually Patches by himself wasn't OP, the unhealthy part of Patches was the sinergy with the other neutrals that made him OP; if you remember when Patches come out we come from the Midrange-Combo era from the adventures release and aggro decks didn't exist at all, unless you were Shaman. So what Patches do for HS, even if you were sick of it, first the most important thing he did was accelerating tempo in games and we needed that to counter combo and control decks that were to strong in that meta, second he enable tempo decks to be a thing in other classes than mage (remember Tempo is not the same as Aggro and Midrange), and finally he made possible a low budget pack for making many good and competitive decks, you can say "the same cards in all decks what a blast", but remember he enable Tempo Rogue, was a big punch in Aggro Token Druid against Raza, Pirate Warrior staple, replaced the loses in Shaman in the rotation, revamped Zoolock, gave to Priest a way to play board control games with minions in Big Spell.

Now with Patches nerf what we have:

• The game will slow down very hard, more greedy builds, and as consecuence a very higher budget to make Tier 0,1 even 2 decks
• New Players will not be attractive to the game if the dust to make a good deck is even higher than before
• Cubelock or Warlock would define the meta even more, Aggro, Tempo and Midrange gonna be to slow to out run the late game of this decks in average
• More classes will be left out of the meta (only pure control oriented classes in the game are: Warrior, Priest and Warlock; Miracle decks don't have enough support in this meta)
• Games will be 30 mins-1hrs of "fun", bad for a "mobile" game

At last i apologize for my bad english, and just as a note: my favorites decks are Mill Warrior, Jade Druid, Miracle Rogue, Midrange Paladin/Shaman, Evol Shaman, Control Paladin/Warrior, Burn Mage, Tempo Rogue
