Balance Changes Coming In 2 Weeks
Alec Dawson has just shared some important information about the upcoming balance changes, read more about it below.
Quote from BlizzardAlso so that there’s transparency, still planning to do balance changes post MT. We’ll be deciding those sometime next week and they’ll be in-game the week after. Those could certainly include cards in the battle-ready decks but as of right now we have not made final decisions.
I hope for some buffs for shaman
2 weeks? What are they waiting for ffs?
Tickatus likely will not get nerfed as he is in a battle deck, they said they built the decks around future possible nerfs to avoid including these cards. This means that was either a blatant lie, an exception, or Tickatus is not getting nerfed.
Edit: I am not saying he should or should not be nerfed, just an impartial observation.
Edit 2: I understand what was said in the post, but I still think they will somewhat avoid them.
Tickatus isn't much of a problem when you die at turn 4 from a turn 1-2 Crabrider.
After sitting on a fixed 50% WR I switched to aggro/secret paladin and the only way I have to lose is from a Warrior/Paladin playing Crabrider and buffing it with either Shield of Honor or Hand of A'dal.
1/3 stats would provide some chance to answer the threat instead of watching it snowballing the game.
...I would not mind HS going back to nerf frequency from when Ben Brode was working on it.
Don't get me wrong, changing things that are problem is important but plenty of time i feel like nerfs are knee-jerk reaction. There's no time to see how meta will develop instead of hitting things ASAP.
Tickatus is strong but has bad match-up against aggro? Just wait till aggro players will scare the fuck out of it and in meantime figure out what has good matchup against them.
Fuck off Tickatus, the card is annoying, but not broken. It only solely destroys Control decks.
The nerfs will probably hit Facehunter and especially the still almost 70% Paladin win rate decks.
OMEGALUL
Crabrider to 3 health, spring water refresh 1 per spell. Tick nerfed to 3 cards. All is well in the realm.
I'm actually expecting an incanter's nerf, as it has a near 67% mulligan winrate.
Why there are always people who complains about every card which just they lost to. And when it gets nerfed, they find another and another. And another. Learn to play around it. Play different decks, archetypes or replace cards or just learn to play.
It is really that hard ? I don't get still why do people want Tickatus to be nerfed. Control warlock isn't even tier 1 deck and gets destroyed very easily even if they succesfully burn Your cards. For me it happens so many times that warlock burned me twice but still lost cause he lost tempo and pressure by playing it :D . But I am not Warlock player so I expect to instead of nerfing card Blizz could possiblly buff something for Shaman etc. He was so good in the beggining but now it struggles to almost everything.
People want Tickatus nerfed because it's far too consistent over a long game, and there's literally nothing you can do to avoid it -- and it happens four times, after Felosophy and Y'Shaarj, the Defiler. If you play anything other than face decks, Tickatus is a scourge. No, it's not hard to beat, as long as you're playing a fast deck, so it isn't tier one. That doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

The REAL problem with hearthstone meta. Very good video
idk man theyve been doing many balance changes lately I appreciate it but idk if i want balances every 2 weeks
Please fix duels already. Sick of Paladin matchup being lost on turn 3.
Agreed - humble blessings paladin is not fun to play or to play against.
wild nerfs please
It is time to go, Sorcerer's Apprentice
And buffs as well!
Tickatus, is not that bad overall. You can beat the deck by applying pressure to make it hard for them to cleanly drop tickatus as well as by playing around it with cards like rustwix in case of the mirror or anything that re-adds cards back into your deck to off set its benefits. The down side is in the mirror assuming your both running tickatus the first player to play tickatus cleanly will usually win the mirror. Tickatus would be better balanced if there were more options in standard to shuffle cards back into your deck overall.
On hsreplay you can see, that control warlock has 70 % vs control warrior ( 26 000 games + )
Faceless Manipulatorr and Teron? i'm legend player, not silver bro :) Tickatus is problem not because Warlock is good. Because Tickatus destroy other control and combo decks. This is only my opinion :)
