Stealer Of Souls In Wild Mode Will Be No More!
Blizzard just announced that they'll be banning Stealer of Souls in Wild mode until he rotates out from Standard. See down below for more details.
Quote from BlizzardWe’ll be banning Stealer of Souls in Wild in a small update next week. Stealer of Souls will still be playable in other formats, and will be eligible for a full dust refund for two weeks after this change goes live.
The patch note for this change will be shared on Tuesday, and the patch itself is expected to go live on Wednesday.
Quote from Alec DawsonThe current plan is to adjust the card at that point in time and remove the ban. If any adjustments happen to Stealer of Souls before that (ex/ a standard nerf) we'll also re-evaluate its inclusion in Wild.
See Ashes of Outlands + Initiate Set Release Day Demon Hunter. They *CLEARLY* do not playtest enough, or even at all.
Oh yeah, there were like 4 rounds of nerfs or something? That was a mess
The same thing happened with MTG last year, look up Lurrus Companion Vintage ban. They either don't playtest anywhere near enough, or they are simply ambivalent to what changes these OP cards will make on their respective formats.
you know if they actually tested out their cards out they could avoid disasters like these
if ur gonna do this then might as well make a full ban list like yugioh
Ty Activision u fk this game
Blizzard definitely knew the card was going to be broken, but they still release cards like this from time to time in order to generate hype so that the game doesn't die out too fast, typical business strategy.
Back when Standard was first announced I was really happy, as it was probably the first time Hearthstone really felt fresh. Now, looking back, I think that was one of the worst decisions Blizzard has ever made in HS's life. Wild became unplayable, Standard gets boring after a month each expansion and Classic is dead. Honestly, I believe it's finally time to stop this game's developement and work on something new. Be it "Hearthstone 2" or whatever else, but Blizzard has to finally make strict choices, if they want to survive on the CCG market. A lot of people are already switching to other games and even though HS is still the most popular, I don't think it will be for much longer.
Blizzard in a nutshell
Fuck that terrible decision they have no vision
