We can tell them to stop the mana cheating the power creep, the non interactive or solitaire decks, the overpowered-finisher card but "they" won't do anything about it because imo, there is a significant percentage of players playing the game on their mobile and these guys probably have different playing habits than the others, I guess they don't play for hours on and go for like fast winning decks. They will not take the risk to lose these players. I may be wrong but I strongly believe it's part of the problem.

You have to relaunch the game, it's somewhere in the middle :)

I thought they would change Denathrius so it no longer was a battlecry, but an end-of-turn effect or something (and have higher requirements like not starting at 5 damage).

Can't believe they'd leave Guff and Jaina untouched. Just Make Guff a higher cost card and put max mana to 15. Let Jaina be 8 mana and put hero power to +1 honorable kill.
Cariel should lose weapon durability when swinging.
Quest Hunter is just a failure and should be touched somehow.
Make Denathrius a non-battlecry effect so that Druids and Shamans can't abuse the effect (e.g. 'at the end of your turn') so it's an archetype, but not braindead due to brann & macaw.
It's not that hard, just get your noses out of the data sheets and make the game more enjoyable...

Ah hinting at cards that should've been nerfed ages ago. Always too late with the nerfs because "they need to look at the data". I wonder how they gather data on how enjoyable cards & decks are to play against.

This patch is way too late, there is no mention of Mech Mage being toned down to make the game more fun (but I guess they only care about their statistics), for some reason they didn't want to buff a control Shaman archetype despite going out of their way to buff some of these new archetypes (but I guess they want you to only play their designed archetypes).
Too bad because this meta had a lot of potential.

Man don't start with "the data..." because there is no data about how annoying playing against a deck or a particular card is. I remember Tickatus didn't have a good winrate, but he was among the most hated cards with good reason.
Mech mage vomiting stuff on the board with Mech Shark dealing way too much damage isn't fun to play against. Similarly, playing against pirate warrior just spamming pirates to complate a quest, quest hunter making you not want to play (minions), or DH smacking your face just isn't healthy for the game if you want people to keep playing.
I'm baffled that OTK deathrattle priest didn't get touched. Probably a bad winrate, but as a control player I don't bother playing because it's a degenerate strategy that isn't interactive whatsoever.

Just move on from this game if you're a control player I'd say. This meta is a good wake-up call.

Haha same, I guess I'm finally able to move on happily without looking back at this game :D

And then Tickatus enters with both paper and scissors.

Refreshing Spring Water and Tickatus don't get nerfed? I'm not playing in this stupid meta.
