A Warning - going 0-3 in the heroic tavern brawl rewards only a single pack

According to bbrode:

The reward for 0 wins is a single pack. If this scares you, you may want to wait for next week's Brawl

I really don't like how this information isn't being made readily available to all players. People are going to assume that it's like arena and you're guaranteed something near your entry fee in value even if you do terribly, but that's not the case at all.

Add to that the picture on the blog post enticing players with the amazing rewards you could get for 12 wins, and the designer insights video which promises:

The rewards you get will be much better than arena awards, we think you'll be pretty happy

Which seems objectively untrue, as the rewards are so weighted towards high wins, which isn't made clear anywhere outside of reddit comments (The video says to check their site for more information, but the only thing in the blog post is that picture of amazing 12 win rewards). I feel like this is going to mislead many players into buying a very disapointing heroic brawl run.

So just...be warned guys, and try to spread the word. I think it's really important that everyone know what they're buying here, and as it stands blizz has done a really poor job communicating it.

EDIT: Blizzard has now updated the blog post with a link to the full table of heroic brawl rewards, so everyone can see for themselves and decide if they think it's worth it.
