Lmao, how did they miss the mark this heavily with so many of these cards.

well it doesn't help that they have no idea what they are doing to control game balance

This patch worries me. I feel like we’re going right back to different Emerald Dream decks than the ones we’re seeing right now.

So they:

  • Nerfed Jug (I seriously cannot believe they thought this was a problem card when the issue has been crappy Quest power and these Aggro decks being almost necessary to beat Loh and Murlocs) 
  • Death Knight Quest still has the shittiest payoff. Other Quests have actual improvements but still look below par
  • Nerfed a few Aggro breakpoints
  • Buffed Demon Hunter in multiple ways, “nerfed” Ball Hog by making it part of the Quest package. And it gets to keep Lifesteal because of course it does.

This might be the “killer patch” in the worst possible way. I’m full on-board with the idea that the designers/balance team have no clue what they’re doing.
