firewall dragon got banned
not to be a debbie downer or anything but we did not get the standard 2 weeks to disenchant nerfed cards they pulled the plug 1 day too early, noticed when i tried to get my dust for some goldens yesterday.
checked again 10 hours later and i am able to dust my goldens :)
Nerfs :KEKW:
Faceless Corruptor changes any card into an 8/8 Leeroy Jenkins board clear without any drawbacks. Yugioh does more play testing than this freaking game. At least they know when a card is broken especially in the anime unlike hearthstone.
paying for it
Was one of the fastest nerfs or not? :D Surprising they moved so fast and not waited like 1-2 months...
Nerf Deathrattle Rogue next?
https://hsreplay.net/meta/ - Galakrond Shaman 58,38% (after nerfs, today, without Quest)
Power of the deck almost no change, except Holy Wrath Paladin and Deathrattle Rogue, no bad match ups.
The balance just confirmed, sad true about Blizz. Blizzard dont know, how to nerf own cards.
Only two ways are here - Blizz kill a card by nerf or nerf is pointless and card is still OP.
As shown below, the 58.38% winrate of Galakrond Shaman is the winrate that includes all pre-nerf matchups. Galakrond Shaman's winrate is updated to 50.24% in 2019-12-19, the first day after the patch. (49.58% in 2019-12-20)
How can you see winrate of archetype for choosen time period?
Well, this patch seems working:
This nerf literally changed nothing! Shamans are still oppresive as fuck
Since the nerf is implemented I've got this gut feeling that about ± 66% of the card are changed are shaman.... just a feeling.....
And it's possible that figuratively 3 cards are affected by the patch, but what this nerf actually did, nobody knows.
Battlegrounds changes are a step in the right direction but it's a bit bare bones now. I think mechs are just going to dominate. We need dragons added to freshen things up. Also Boogey + Beast should've been removed completely.
Nah, every tactics is now pretty much viable.
Maybe, but Cobalt builds were already really strong and they don't mind the nerfs as much as other tribes. I'm having a lot of success with them and seeing Kripps new video looks like I'm pretty correct. Viable is a loose term, of course almost everything's viable if you have the perfect game. I just think mechs will be the most consistent way to go now.
3600 extra dust. Thanks Blizzard!
hearstone still fun ?
Why no nerf for this idiot proof face hunter deck?
Because it doesn't need any nerfs. You have several healing, taunt, and control options to completely rip it apart.
