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.
Yogg + brann is double max spells of yogg so it would be reasonable to assume the same for shudderwock
So I guess with the 20 battlecry cap, In theory, since the Shaman OTK deck runs 14 battlecries on average, it's possible that given the order of some of the battlecries this wouldn't quite be lethal in some situations. Granted this does *nothing* about having multiple shudderwocks bounced back to hand for 1 mana...but I guess this means that with a cap on the battlecries it could mean some of the shudderwocks wouldn't do as much damage...
Me: Rip all battlecry deck. :/
This will be interesting to see how it affects Shudderwock decks (maybe).
It won't, those decks barely have 16 battlecry minions
It doesn’t really, because only suboptimal decks run a lot of battlecries. OTK has only select few.
Shudderlol
