You'd think that with a name like that you'd get some ruination style board wipe or at least an obliterate effect instead it's just a more expensive Avalanche.
It's not a big issue or anything, it's just that when Targon got it first set, people experimented with the new cards for a few weeks before realizing that Bilgewater decks were still the best and when Shurima got it first set. people experimented with the new cards for a few weeks before realizing that Aphelios/Zoe and Twisted Fate/Fizz were still the best deck. It's not until the deck from the previous meta got nerfed that the new cards managed to shine.
I just don't wanna see our first worlds being dominated by Sivir mirror matches that's all. Hopefully the pattern won't repeat itself this time.
Hmm, I was really hoping for some bonus XP on the first 12 levels of Targon. I just started playing again, and have been holding off on leveling up that region thinking that it would get bonus XP now that it's two expansions old. Looking forward to all the new content though.
Well, here's to hoping it won't be a raging dumpster fire like Duels. But given the current track record (as in, pretty much every mode is broken in some way at this very moment), not getting my hopes up for this. Also remains to be seen how they monetise this. My guess is it's going to be similar to BGs, as in optional but not really optional if you want to improve your odds...so people are likely to be financially milked on packs, mini-expansions, BGs and Mercenaries at the same time in some form or fashion.
Its gonna be a Gottcha Game/hero collector mode to suck up even more of your money. STart on level one and make your characters stronger, pay to win or free to play and slowly grind for years. IT WILL BE A GOTTCHA TYPE GAME!! If you have ever played games like AFKarena you'll know how its an endless money pit.
They do say that it is possible we might see one before that, but it wouldn't be planned.
I don't know why that's an issue though. We're getting 126 new cards added into the pool with a new region. Its going to take time to see how the meta evolves and then if problems do arise, it'll take some more time to properly evaluate potential changes. Less than a month to wait for balance seems fine to me.
All people, listen me, right now, Ziggs is CLEARLY being made to be played with Xerath and all the landmark thingies, but what about the interesting form of playing it in a plunder deck? he can trigger it very easy + all the Impact cards + think Kegs + Ziggs effect, ISN'T THE BEST, but he is very flexible in the form of being a good Champion card (Except his level up condition) for many decks i think. His Level 2 is very good and very Xerath-is-my-best-friend but its ok. His followers are good, Safety Inspector ensures you're gonna activate and Level Up your Ziggs and Xerath(Meanwhile you have landmarks to crack), Bomber Twins is very weird but very Shurima-is-the-landmark-region so is good! Also Taliyah and Malphite exists soooo... Inventive Chemist is just a good card, she can find a place in so much decks cuz is just a 1mana 2/1 + a landmark who pings face, who is CLEARLY for Xerath and Ziggs Lvl. 2, but is good in general. The Arsenal seems bad, 8 mana is a lot, and having 6 hp is weird, why he can not be a, i dont know, 6/8? i know, he has a BIG POSSIBILITY of gainind Spellshield/Elusive/Overwhelm but VS a thing like that you're gonna kill it FAST(literally), so idk. Bouncing Bomb, Mega Inferno Bomb and Yordle Contraption are very very weird, the first two seem a little weak BUT WITH KEGS THEY'RE NUTS so, again, idk, then Yordle Contraption is just two cards in one, were you want one or the other effect, i can't see why in your landmark deck you gonna want some multiregion bois and viceversa. Hexplosive Minefield is NUTS AND ALL THE DRY FRUIT OF THE WORLD, is not only powercreeping over Guile, it's TWO Guiles! and a destroyable landmark so Xerath and Ziggs love him, i want someone using it in a Yasuo deck CUZ ITH ZTUMS.
I crafted Sorcerer's Gambit to hit legend. I was fighting a ton of Warlocks and was just fed up with their shit. In the end, I became the very thing I swore to destroy. How ironic...
I'm out for a while. Aggro vs Quests that are completed and then auto win by turn 6/7 just isn't fun.
The quests are even worse in wild. Hunter/Mage/Warlock over and over and ALL 3 cycle through their entire deck. It feels like a repeat of the busted decks that abused Gadgetzan Auctioneer.

First wait, then judge. Blizzard always put (a) heavily unique spin(s) on existing genres.

I haven't had time to finish either battle pass that we've seen so far.
Fingers crossed for Stormwind.

Unfortunate. It wasn't provided to us in the early access we get to patch notes.
I've added it in now though - thanks!

It's not the first time it's happening. Something is definitely strange (i bet it's all marketing crap).
Why don't they just release the data now since it has become known(if it was leaked indeed)?
New Bandle City Spell - Pokey Stick
I hate poke damage especially if it comes from a meme card like this O.o

No balance patch until October 20? That's not a good idea.
