Main change of the patch.

Considering they will add crazy op cards on future, I would ban all cards using corpses or changed this mechanic in arena a little. Problems with cards that consume corpses will happen again and again in future I'm sure.

 The other problem is if you generate a card that consumes corpses with another class it is absolutely completely useless. What good are all the priest cards that copy or steal against a DK. Chances are you are taking an unplayable card. 

They've already said the want to change it so all classes have a hidden corpse counter in the future.

How was the game not rolled out with this when they introduced Death Knight!?  Five minutes of playtesting with Rogue or Priest and you'd find out "Hey, I had minions die but this card isn't doing anything"

Yep.

Took this clown long enough to ban shockspitter. Fuck you dev

Golden Gun doesnt give Pufferquil Poisonous, Small Indie Company

Real talk, do they actually test in house? The new BG set has such poor balance, I'm beginning to suspect they don't.

I wonder if there is a connection between shitty BG balance, and Blizzard hiring casters to develop the game, instead of people with game design experience? Thinking...

Again QA team and game testers on vacation I guess. What a sh*t show battlegrounds is right now. Undead class is x5 times more powerful than any other minion class (3 times more broken than when naga class first came around). Hope one day blizzard employs people that actually play the game to test before relese, as if that ever happens - they just relese it and use user analytics to tweak the game (cheap a** company). 

Corpse refiner - should be mech/pirate (or even make it 2 5 - avenge(4) only for its class type - mech/pirate counting even if that minion is reborned with death not resetting avenge count))

Soulsplitter - should be 5 or 6 star

Eternal knight - 2 1 ,3 star minion

Sister Deathwhisper - make it 1 5 or remove undead class from it

For you Blizzard - so you can keep charging 17eur for BG pass ... (can't shake of that Activision blood in you it seems) but at least use it to employ actual game tester

Sure it's good to remove Horror, but isn't the problem that DK only has brand new powercrept class cards, while all the other classes have to dig through all the garbage? If they just forced DK to have fewer class cards than everyone else or capped the number of draftable cards from each set, wouldn't that actually address the problem?

They should've changed wording of Malignant Horror to "Summons another Malignant Horror" instead of "a copy of". Cuz usually one would just ignore such a pesky minion. But it could be followed by Bonemare and voila, you died.

It seems Blizzard wants this effect to stay in constructed where nobody actually cares about those horrors.

That wouldn't solve all of the issues with the card.  What you propose would make it harder to stop the Malignant Horror cycle, since currently if you get to kill it and put it into a reborn state, all copies summoned are easy to deal with 2-1's.  With your change, that'd no longer be the case.

Very happy about the ban on Malignant Horror, it was just crippling in the Arena. A person almost never had the cards necessary to deal with both reborns. I don't know how many games i won and lost just on that card. It was ridiculous.

Where are the other Arena balance changes though? Without Horror, Death Knight would fall around 1%??? They will still be at 58%, which is still broken. The bottom 6 needed a boost. Not just the bottom 2.

Death Knight has no bad cards, due to how hyperpowercrept Hearthstone has become.

Other classes have old sets still in the pool.  What did they think would happen!?

Removing horror after 1 month? So fast? It was necessary to collect statistics for another six months, and even better to raise the characteristics to 4-6 for 5 mana -  the power of the card was not very obvious, right?

I'm just staring at those Duels bans with tears of happiness in my eyes!!

And that hematology fix also. Even though i exploited the hell out of it. Such easy 12 wins xD

Glad they decided to remove Malignant Horror from arena. It is crazy powerful in that game mode, especially if you buff it.

That thing could single-handedly carry mediocre DK decks to high wins. Stupidly hard to remove even if you were ahead.

Yeah... :(
