Descent of Dragons Balance Changes Coming - Including Shaman Changes
Blizzard posted a message that Balance Changes are planned for somewhere in the next week, with a specific mention of changes to Shaman. Read the full statement below:
Quote from BlizzardHey Folks,
Just to give a heads up - we’re working on a balance update that will arrive within the next week with card adjustments for Descent of Dragons, including some changes aimed at Shaman. Any cards that are affected will be given full Arcane Dust refunds.
Stay tuned for more details next week.
Cheers,
The Hearthstone Team
Its so bad from blizzard that they not knowing what they do because if they just had test they should know that this will happen Balance patch after a week is just proof that blizzard dont test any new exp
when you're working on the expansion with the highest power lvl ever, it's bound to happen, you can not have everything completly balanced at expansion release, i actually like that they were quite fast to announce they are doing something about it
not completly maybe but having a deck as shamaan thats just broken as hell they should have know that if they tested it
Because this is just shitty bullshit having 4 different meta in just 2 weeks its idiot
Not even mentioning how f2p people get rekt by this they crafted cards for shamaan and now 1 or 2 card get nerfed for that you get dust back but for the cards you craft to support that you get nothing \
Every expansion streamers and players tell all the people to not craft anything the first week. It’s at your own risk if you do.
Also this is the fastest response we’ve ever had by blizzard to unbalanced cards/classes. You talk like you know exactly how the design process works. Man let people do mistakes. We all do mistakes. What matters is how you deal with them and this time blizzard immediately responded to all the rage about shaman being op. I don’t think you can wish for more.
haha do you got free packs now "let them make mistakes " uhmm yeah whatever men
iIts abig company that gets a lot of money from the playerbase so yeah i think we should expiect they do testing and dont have bugs and blance patches in just teh first week just
YOu test first before you launch something
Finally...this week seems like Beta testing period with all the shaman rampages.
Feels like actual new expansion experience starts new week. Cant wait to see the balance changes!
Yeah Faceless Corruptor is guaranteed to be on the nerf list eventually. I think something like this would balance it out perfectly while still being good and playable.
“Next week”
Yeah, because it probably not easy to get together a patch and push it out across not only PC but Android and IOS as well.
Is this the fastest they've ever nerfed cards?
I think so.
Yes, it is. I'm in since beta.
What about nerf of Corridor Creeper ?
Didn't happen for at least a month from what I recall.
for sure... 7 mana is my guess
what if they left the mana but made the faceless just transform into itself...instead of itself AND a copy...still pretty good IMO...5 mana transform a 1/1 or a minion you traded with (or just dont want) into a 5/4 with rush...seems ok still
they never do those type of fancy nerfs
they usually go for mana cost and/or stats
good call - you're absolutely right. it's just funny because that's actually how i thought the card would work originally...just transform a minion into 1 copy...not two. but i'll admit, i didn't read the text closely enough before the expansion release.
I think a perfectly balanced version while still being good would be making it 6 Mana and reduce the stats to 4/4.
