Hearthstone's Twitter Teases Upcoming Balance Patch

Published 2 years, 10 months ago by

If you were worried that the current meta in Standard and Battlegrounds was feeling a bit stale, then we've got good news for you: Hearthstone's Twitter account (@PlayHearthstone) has dropped an announcement that balance changes are on the way:

Quote From Hearthstone

What do a guitar and Hearthstone have in common?

They’re both better with regular tuning!

👀 Keep an eye out for changes, coming this Thursday

Accompanying that tweet were two pictures, one teasing the changes for Constructed, and one for Battlegrounds.

Constructed

Buffs

Nerfs

Battlegrounds

There are a host of changes for Battlegrounds, including a buff to the E.T.C. Hero, nerfs to plenty of other cards, and a change in Tavern Tier for three cards (and we don't know what they have planned for Monstrous Macaw).

  • Really Blizzard. You've tried to push Big Demon DH since the class' inception and you nerf it immediately after it's somewhat viable. 😑

    Not impressed

  • Kinda curious as to what Rotten Applebaum is going to do for the meta, but willing to give it a fair chance

    Friendly

    • Likely extend Druid's survivability

  • Interesting choices overall, I have to say I'm a bit surprised Hawkstrider Rancher dodged a nerf though. That card is just completely bonkers and wins games for Undead DK almost on its own (curves very nicely into Nerubian Swarmguard). Undead Priest getting hit is a bit sad, but I guess that can't be helped.

  • Finally they're going to unnerf the old From the Depths, a long overdue buff. Unfortunately, we had to go all around the world buffing tons of other warrior cards before team5 finally realised that this was the one thing they needed to do all along. Still probably going to change the mana reduction to 2 instead of 3.

    Other buffs not so interesting. Chorus Riff doesn't need a buff, but the riffs are overall so weak its perhaps unsurprising that they decided to do it.

     

    As for the nerfs,

    Pretty much I can see why all of those are getting nerfs. Stuff like Sinful Brand simply shouldn't exist alongside so much face damage potential. Besides, its toxic as hell trying to avoid getting destroyed out of nowhere. Shades of quest mage in stormwind.

    Its funny how Predation is being targetted here, when its far better to simply just nerf Lady S'theno to give everyone back their dust because predation at 0 mana is probably one of the few things that keeping her alive anyway.

    Anub'Rekhan nerf is a bit harsh, because outside of big druid the entire class is 100% dependent on it. Not sure what team5 is going to do with this. Maybe nerf it to 9 mana? or grant only 4 armor. Because we all know why this is getting nerfed, and that's because of its unfortunate combo with zok.

     

    The one time big dhunter is competitively viable, and then we nerf it naught but three weeks after. Just amazing.
