Arena Changes for March 16 - Less Legendaries, More Below Average Picks
Changes have been applied to Hearthstone's Arena via a hotfix thanks to feedback from the community.
Update: According to Mike Donais, he thinks the plans are to reset Arena when the expansion hits so everyone has to start with new decks. (Source)
Quote from Jesse HillIn Update 10.4, we rolled out some significant changes to the Arena. Now we’ve had a chance to see the effects they’re having and read your feedback.
We agree with the concern that many of you have expressed that there are slightly too many high powered cards appearing in Arena decks.
Based on that, we recently implemented two changes to Arena picks via hotfix:Legendary picks now appear less often.
Below average picks will now appear more often.
We’re planning to keep a close eye on how these changes affect the Arena experience, so please let us know what you think.
Thanks for your continued feedback, and we’ll see you in the tavern!
I don't think that's just the new arena's fault...
Yes, blame everyone else but you and your horrible drafting and / or playing ability. 63 games in a row... must be those 63 super lucky people... what else could it possible be...
picked paladin : got the worst 1 drop cards you can ever imangine(all 1 drops spells !!!) the deck was so bad that i did retire at 1/2.. i prefer power creep than this bullshit of picks. never crafted such a bad deck, 2 steeds counldnt even help it-
Going to give props to Blizz here, this is probably the fastest reaction that they've ever had to a community concern. Keep it up Brode!
give credit where credits due, it was a quick fix and hopefully this something we can get used to in the year of the raven
Who works for Brode. Anyways i'm sure that all of team 5 functioned well here.
Flux is doing great for a non-native speaker.
Stannis approves.
What?
A much welcome change. It's soooo tilting to be winning a game the whole time and then insta-lose because your opponent has a Y'shaarj, Lich King, Ysera etc.
At least. I faced a deck with 4 legends- tirion, wickerflame, Tarim, and Lich king, when I drafted none. Obviously I lost
Cool! Now my 60 point arena deck will be even lower!
slightly too many
Now people are discouraged to start a new arena run for a while though. You will only play against people with decks before the ptch and get destroyed. WP blizzard, retards.
I agreed with you until you called Blizzard retards. This is good for the overall, long-term playability and enjoyment of arena and we should be grateful they are working hard to improve the game mode. It will just be imbalanced for a few weeks. Chill out.
Yeah, it'll be imbalanced for JUST A FEW WEEKS am I right?
Oh no, unbalanced for a whole week or so... it's 150g, who honestly cares?
Also, name calling is not needed, especially one as insensitive as what you used. At least blizzard is trying to make a change for the overall better.
