I just don't understand how we aren't getting DH changes, like what more do we need? It's favored against 95% of the decks (by quite a lot vs most) and also has a 68% muligan wr card that feels so bad to play against. I'm sure we've got changes for way less than this...👿 https://t.co/orLXggT1If

      @FenoHS Balance changes just don't usually come in content patches, which have to be wrapped up and submitted to the storefronts ahead of time. The team's aware of the concerns.

        @hsdecktech @FenoHS That's just not accurate, is it? X.2.0 patches, ie the big BG content patches, have usually included balance changes. I think it's 4 out the 5 previous ones that have included standard changes, and the one that didn't included changes for other modes.

          @D0nkeyHS @hsdecktech Tbh i also feel balance changes come with content patches but i could be wrong.

            @FenoHS @hsdecktech I did a quick check on the wiki recently because I was initially expecting balance changes with this patch.

              @D0nkeyHS @FenoHS @hsdecktech i thought typical cadence was two weeks after x.0, month later with nerfs and buffs, then mini set, then either two weeks or month after mini set? maybe i'm misremembering but mid may was the date for buffs for both barrens and ashes

                @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS @FenoHS I confess, I didn't do a historical check (especially not of specifically .2 patches), but the typical workflow from my perspective on the inside is that the major content patches aren't expected to have balance changes (though they can); usually there's a diff window for them.

                  @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS @FenoHS We don't usually make reactive, time sensitive balance changes in content patches. This is because content patches require us to have the changes made a week or two in advance.

                    @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS @FenoHS The kinds of changes that come in content patches are ones we don't think we'll change our mind in a few weeks time and we're also fine waiting. The kinds of changes that come in data patches are ones we want to decide on and have them go into a build within days.

                      @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS @FenoHS for mull win-rate I think Drek is a borderline violator here, so we don't necessarily disagree. That said, more useful to look at the delta between deck win-rate and mull win-rate of specific cards. If we're talking about a 63% hsreplay deck, all the mull wr will be inflated.

                        @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS @FenoHS there will always be some cards that increase your win rate by X amount if you get them in mull, question is how much increase is appropriate and how much is ok 3%? 5%? 10%?

                          @IksarHS @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS In this specific case it's 10% which seems like a lot.

                            @FenoHS @hsdecktech @RidiculousHat @D0nkeyHS agreed :)
