Official Patch Notes
Quote from BlizzardIn this Hearthstone update we are making balance changes to several cards.
Please read the Upcoming Balance Changes – Update 9.1 on the official Hearthstone site for full details regarding the reasons and philosophy behind these changes.
This patch is now live on desktop. It will become available on mobile devices in the coming hours.
you can only be matched with players of the same patch, so you can keep playing but eventually you will run out of people to fight with and you eventually would have to restart your client and be forced to update.
Yup... they are screeeeeeedddddd....
Or they don't try to beat LK by an exploit and actually try.
managed to get mine yesterday (as a f2p that started 2 months ago!)
My brain doesn't think the nerfs will really work , but I really want them to :(
warlock in 2k17 OMEGALUL
Well, I've reached rank 5 just in time, now from here to legend it will be all priests and druids it seems.
Not mentioned here, but I assume that we can get full dust refunds for the non-basic ones?
Yes, you can't disenchant basic cards.
o.0 I thought this was live. I just played vs a druid who had an innervate that gave 2 mana
Wow.. even unlucky with this.. Hearthstone says I need to update, Google play just says: Open.
still cant believe blizzard didnt nerfed ultimate infestation ¬¬
i can guarantee that if Spreading Plague was never made then Jade druid wouldnt be anywhere near this dominant because it would still have the gaping weakness that druid has had since launch. Pirate warrior, murloc paladin, token sham etc would run all over it
Now it's Fiery LOSE Axe, amirite?
That chalkboard looks pretty interesting.
Lady Naz'jar vs Professor Putricide brawl?
or maybe jsut the Boss Brawl with updated bosses
Ready for Ping-pong priest and Jade druid meta ...
Enjoy playing against jade druid and priest for another year. Decks that stood a chance like midrange murloc paladin, pirate warrior and aggro druid got gutted. Heck even shaman got destroyed because of hex and it was not performing well in this meta... Blizzard logic.
