Battlegrounds Updates
Anomaly Adjustments:
- Anti-Gravity Stadium has been returned to the Anomaly pool
- Might of Khaz’goroth and Fortitude of Khaz’goroth now have lower appearance rates
Several heroes are now banned when certain anomalies are active:
- Big League: Dinotamer Brann and Thorim, Stormlord
- Money Match: Infinite Toki; E.T.C., Band Manager; and Professor Putricide
- Packed Stands: Millhouse Manastorm
- The Golden Arena: E.T.C., Band Manager and Shudderwock
- Several low-performing heroes have been removed from various Anomalies
Bug Fixes
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Sword Eater was playable in Twist, even though it is not in one of the legal expansions for this season.
- [Hearthstone] The mana cost of Escaped Tentacle (summoned by Loken, Jailer of Yogg-Saron) is now based on Escaped Tentacle’s stats, instead of the mana cost of the card Discovered.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Chamber of Viscidus could not be activated without cards in hand to discard (and behaved oddly when tried).
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Faithful Companions couldn’t be played if only its Manathirst was active (if you have a Beast in your hand, but not in your deck).
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where Al'Akir, the Winds of Time could draw non-minion cards.
- [Hearthstone] Fixed a bug where a copy of V-07-TR-0N Prime created by Ini Stormcoil is unable to attack after using all its Abilities.
- [Hearthstone] Partially resolved a bug where Soot Spewer and Spawn of Shadows did not have the stats of their original versions updated to match their Caverns of Time versions (both cards got +1 Health with Caverns). The other part of the resolution was in our most recent Client Patch. Both portions are needed to fully resolve the issue. See the 27.2 Known Issues post 1 for more details.
- [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where some players would instantly concede at the start of Anomalies where all players are the same hero.
- [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Witchwing Nestmatron could give Tier 1 and Tier 2 minions while the Big League Anomaly is active.
- [Battlegrounds] Fixed a bug where Prudence of Amitus and Transient Treasures were not appearing in high-level lobbies.
- [Duels] The Grand Tournament and Mean Streets of Gadgetzan have been added to Discover pools and random generation effects. They will be added to the initial deckbuilding in a future update.
- [Collection] Fixed a bug where the Warrior Twist Battle-Ready Deck included the legacy copy of Acolyte of Pain (which is banned in some cases to avoid another issue). Players who already purchased the deck before this update can play it by swapping out the banned version of Acolyte of Pain with the free Core Set version, which is not banned.
Acolyte of Pain issues strike again!
Good changes for anomalies,how about minions now?
And… now Warrior is dead in twist until balance changes. Good job dev team. I get it was a bug. Could have left it until you fix the unbalance in the other classes.
Warrior is one of the top 3 decks, -2 cards won't make it DEAD. It just won't be broken.
Kek, top 3. Aka it's Jade/N'zoth Rogue at the top which you face about 90% of the time and then some Warrior, Lock and Mage.
Right….
What is your twist rank?
Check HSReplay in a couple days & see how well that statement holds up. The only reason Warrior could keep up with DiscoLock or Jade Rogue was having a 4 drop taunt that equips fiery war axe #3 & 4. Warrior wasn’t “broken” it just had a way to counter the broken Meta & survive.
Fanboys of a specific class are the worst type of Hearthstone players. My class is merely top 3, there are better classes, don't you dare to fix a bug that will keep my class in top 3 but make it somewhat weaker!
Dead in Twist is Shaman or Paladin or Hunter... Even then, if you know what you are doing they are playable
I have no pet classes. I just prefer to have more that 2 classes be competitive.
So you would prefer a coin flip meta instead of a rock paper scissors meta. Cool. Have you tried warrior with out sword eater? How’d it go for you?
what non-warlock or rogue decks are working well against those for you?
How about constructive criticism instead of calling strangers fanboys. 🙄
I am not the type of player who will go for a high-legend finish playing some broken deck in a fun nostalgic format that will last for a month.
Warrior is still there, still destroys my renopriest and renolocks way more effectively than two other overtuned decks
I am glad you get a different experience. That actually sounds like more fun.
I played a lot the first few days & hit diamond. Worst mistake I could have made.
Played 35 games in diamond since the patch.
I saw 0 warriors, 1 priest, 1 paladin, 21 Rogues, 9 warlocks.
So I stand mostly by my statement but it should have said that “warrior is dead at diamond and up.”
