Hearthstone Patch Tomorrow - Floating Watcher to Tier 4
Blizzard just posted a short message on the Official Forums about a Patch coming tomorrow, which includes the announced nerf to Demons in Battlegrounds.
Quote from BlizzardGreetings Friends!
We have a small 16.2.4 server-side patch going live tomorrow with the following changes:
Once these changes have gone live, I’ll be sure to update this thread!
- Floating Watcher is moving from Tavern Tier 3 → Tavern Tier 4
- Fixed an issue that caused Galakrond, the Nightmare 's cost-reduction priority to negate the cost-increase effects of cards such as Boompistol Bully and Loatheb.
Cheers,

Translating this post: "I don't play Druid or Rogue"
I really hope they add more tribes / paths for bg´s , if you see games like TFT there are dozens ways to win .
That's probably why it's still in beta mode. Yes, we're bored and we want more variety.
Necessary, but Battlegrounds really needs more options, not just different levels of power of the same options. You only have pogo as a occasional alternative right now. And I guess seeing Tirion as a hero option.
The problem with BS are the heroes in the bottom tier that aren't worth playing like giving mech's a +1 to attack is worthless.
When is the next Arena rotation for fuck's sake? Which expansions will the rotation include? No communication whatsoever from the developer team.
I don't give a shit about Battlegrounds. I get that it's the more popular mode and it's all bright and shiny, but come the fuck on. At least ACT like you care about Arena.
Honestly I was expecting (hoping even) a move of Wrath Weaver to **, maybe with a small increase in stats (2/2 or w/e). This change is a little bit like the Junkbot nerf, where you usually just ignore the card because you find it too late.
Wrath Weaver should get the Lightfang nerf, and only gain +2/+1
that;s actually a good call, I like that more than moving Watcher to 4
What's wrong with standard now? Some people just want to whinebitchandcomplain.
I like the Watcher to T4 move, still would like to see Cobalt to T4 too.
Will the recruit-bug be fixed with this update? A few days ago I read on reddit that they intend to fix it in the next update.
you can't nerf both Mechs and Demons in the same time or Murloc rise to no end. Now murloc is weak because you die so early before your brann->Primalfin->King->Megasaur super combo. if you move Cobalt to T4 then you definitely need to move Primafin/King to T6 or just remove Megasaur from the game.
I like how people are complaining about Standard being broken.
Guys, it's not that fucking easy to rebalance cards. Not like it's particularly dire right now...
imagine a world if they fix standard and do it cuz of one patch
imagine a world if they fix wild and do it cuz of one patch
imagine a world if they fix arena and do it cuz of one patch
Nah it will be right we go fix Battlegrounds instead SIGH
What are this standard, wild and arena you speak of?
Are those some new game modes for Battlegrounds?
Fix standard.
No more T3 AFK with Watcher,Weaver and 10 dmg :)
Whilst that is a good change, Cobalt Guardian should also move to Tier 4.
Cobalt is very strong but mech overall w were very weak recently, mainly because they cannot beat demons.
Maybe with the watcher nerf the mechs will be the new powerhouse.
By very weak do you mean the only comp strong enough to compete with demons? Don't know what game you are playing, but double Cobalt comps are the only thing besides Exodia Murlocs to compete with a huge demon board.
