Hearthstone's Next Balance Update Goes Live on May 22
We've now got official confirmation that the upcoming balance changes will be going live on May 22. When we first got word balance changes were on their way, it was stated we'd see them after the conclusion of the summer playoffs but we didn't think it would be that soon!
Quote from BlizzardUpdate: These balance changes are currently scheduled to go live on May 22 PDT.
The Nerfs
For those out of the loop, here's the nerfs that are coming in the update.
- Naga Sea Witch - Cost is now 8, up from 5.
- Spiteful Summoner - Cost is now 7, up from 6.
- Dark Pact - Now restores 4 Health, down from 8.
- Possessed Lackey - Cost is now 6, up from 5.
- Call to Arms - Cost is now 5, up from 4.
- Crystal Core - Effect now makes all minions in your deck 4/4, down from 5/5.
We've got dedicated threads available to discuss each card nerf.
Do you realize 4 of those cards are from the Kobolds and Catacombs set? Coincidence? I think NOT.
so Crystal Core is the only one that isnt a card we can craft. its a reward from a card,. will it mean that The Caverns Below will be given full refund dust?
Good Question, i also want to know this...
I hope so, but probably not.
and what about odd paladin
Guess who was right, odd palladin tier 1
muhahaha big fuck you to all control and cube locks, that's great.
Cubelock still gonna be really strong doe
Salty noob player, i guess rank 25 LUL. There are a lot of counters to play against Cubelock, you should learn a bit :)
Yeah, except neither cube nor Doomguard is getting any nerfs.
Well this is goodbye Even paladin ...
I can't wait
Wow, this was fast. I hated when Blizzard announced nerfs and then they could take weeks to make them real, so i'm very happy about this, and the fact that they seem to be learning from their mistakes.
