Patch 11.1: Shudderwock & Lifedrinker Animation Speed Up, Arena Card Rates
A new patch has hit the live servers with a change to Shudderwock's animation speed and maximum battlecries, Lifedrinker's animation speed, and the appearance rate of some arena cards.
Official Patch Notes
Quote from BlizzardIn this small update, we’re changing a pair of Battlecry animations and tuning Arena draft rates.
Read on for details!
- Doubled the speed of Shudderwock’s Battlecry animation.
- Shudderwock now reproduces a maximum of 20 Battlecries.
- Doubled the speed of Lifedrinker’s Battlecry animation.
Arena
- Updated the appearance rate of cards to improve class balance by win percentage. For example, Paladin had a higher than average win rate, and should now be closer to average.
Bug Fixes
- Corrected the art on the Soul Assimilation Monster Hunt card.
- [Android] Updating Hearthstone via the client no longer triggers a warning about installing an app from an unknown source.
Blizz you are always in delay. You released the Easter event in May, the adventure with two weeks of delay, this nerf with 3 weeks of delay (yes because you talked about this nerf, 2 days after the expansion release, do you really need 3 weeks to make this nerf?). How is it possible that a company like you is always in delay? And furthermore the summ is not enough fast. When shudderwock is summoned 3/4 times in a turn the card is still making me to launch the pc in the wall.
Monster Hunt was not launched when the expansion kicked in to avoid the case where all players play Monster Hunt instead of opening and buying packs & trying out different decks after the prev. expansions rolled out. Keep in mind that last time they released Kobolds and Dungeon Run they caused Server Issues. I think its good they delayed the Monster hunt.
Further more Shudderwock doesnt matter at all in this meta. Check HSReplay - Shudderwock is in 5% of decks as opposed to the peak 17%.
:) it will matter if the Shudderwock will be played because we will have to wait another 3 weeks :)
This change was absolutely necessary. Thank you blizzard for this timely fix
We did it, boys! My irresponsible Shudderwocking last night forced them to finally drop the patch!
There are many broken cards in the game, to a point it can not be rewinded anymore
Reround
Rewound*
Wow. Just, wow.
Sorry, i am not from the united states
thank you, just learned a new word
Arena is pretty much dead at this point in my experience , the amount of noobs playing really bad doing missplay over missplay every turn and winning because of how oppressive the card pool or/and how rigged are the RNG clown fiesta in this format (Aka Mind Control Tech , Bone Drake , Stonehill Defender etc etc etc) is abysmal. I have like 5k wins in arena almost 60x 12 wins and damn it's so frustrating see that arena is completely D E A D no matter what change they make it only got worse and worse i'm tired of this bs.
Please, dont reply me if you desagree i dont care what you think.
Gonna reply to you, cause I dont care what you want.

Kripp, is this your side account?
Yeah i'm sorry... I have this problem of being overly emotional and I end up expressing myself poorly sometimes but it's because im pissed with arena recently.
