So this should really surprise no one but the highest winrate card post expansion isn't a champion like bard or Annie.
Its a 1 mana follower.
Simon wind is a 2 mana cycle on paper this balanced.
Zoe cycles at 2 mana right?
Wrong she cycles at 4 because dog costs 2
So monkey is a better Zoe.
This is really bad, like really really bad.
Like we've seen cards like shadow assassin break the format and she costs 3 freaking mana.
Because when card advantage costs too little tempo, like say 1 mana, then 2 mana at burst over and over you essentially negate tempo loss with Dragonling and can just bounce and stun everything else.
Idk it's a head scratcher it's like if the 1 mana cycle in bilgewater could go infinite by design.
Like its not a question of if nerfed to 2 mana plus 2 mana to put under par with Zoe (buffed to a 2/1 to compensate) but when.
But like I just dont get it Riot like ask any card game player hey should we print an Infinite cycle at 1 mana at the equivalent of a common card, you would say plz God God plz God no.
You would say 2 mana plus 2 mana with the spell proc is fair plz maths oh God I'm having an aneurysm. So to sum up Riot less stupids more card counting plz go ask a blackjack player.
