Hearthstone News: Upcoming Balance Changes

5 days ago
14

8 time legend player here to say, this game is no longer Hearthstone, but turn 5 stone, considering almost every single game is decided by turn 5 now. With that said, Hearthstone has always favored agro in a sense, but at least the games would go to 7th or 8th mana mark, sometimes even into a later game. However, I am not seeing this anymore at all. I would say that more than 80% of my games winning or losing, are now decided by turn 5.

This really makes me sad, and the slow control game, that I have been longing for since the days of CoN, are more than likely just wishful thinking by now. I think that Blizzard really came up with a great idea with this new expansion, and I was super excited to get back into Hearthstone. However, I was not expecting the games to go so fast. I feel like I'm not even making smart, logical, cautious decisions anymore, but rather either just overwhelming my opponent rapidly, or being overwhelmed.

I'm not sure how they could fix this problem, or if they even see it as a problem, perhaps this is the direction they are truly aiming for. With that said, I'm wondering why we even have 10 mana system anymore, other than to spam minions. I am the biggest Druid fan ever, it's the only class I am truly dedicated to, yet Jade Druid has killed 3 archetypes (Mill, Control, and Fatigue). This should never have been allowed imo… Also Pirate decks are super cancerous, and just kill the fun, they are super imposing, and in my opinion "no deck achetype should ever be super imposing that they basically break the game".

I know this is all just meaningless fun, at least it's suppose to be at the end of the day, because games are supposed to free our minds from daily life, and stress. Yet,, I personally am not feeling the fun as much anymore. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with this rant and will continue to play, and I'm certain Hearthstone is here to stay for the long haul, and will gain even more followers. Blizzard has done the most outstanding job of marketing this game, in probably the history of gaming. I really wanted to come back and enjoy this game, but it might for a break for me.

I've been here since beta, are there any of my fellow beta friends, who feel they messed up as I do? Are you happy with the current state of the game? Is there still hope for a control game in the future? "I guess so considering expansions and adventures eventually get cycled out now"

Where's my people at, how are you feeling about Hearthstone? If you are unpleased, as I am, how would you fix this issue? Because to me this seems to be more than just a minion spam problem now. It's seems like it's something in the core mechanics, the way the mana system is built.

Blizz trying to fix cards for "competitive" is adorable

Fuck Donald trump

Why didn't C'Thun get the nerf. he's way more powerful

Wtf Blizzard, stop nerfing cards and begin to get your game together. It's no fair one has to open 1-infinity packs filled with absolutely garbage. How hard is it to buff a card? Like seriously, no one would probably give to shits if warsong commander was 3-4 with samme effect. I understand you guys need to make money, so your community can buy packs and they open ice ragers and other totally useless cards so they need to buy more packs. Is it really this hard to just buff cards that are beyond terrible?

there should be a minion that silences a target after hitting it

I want them to make it so we can select what emotes we want to use. I really miss the sorry-emote. I want it to be more like rocket league where you have a set of emotes to pick from.

Why don't they just ban the cards considered OP from tournament play?BAM! Problem solved!

got yogg on asia server played him 1st spell holy fire killed him 😀

I've converted… I dusted gold yog and crafted deathwing DL and bloodmage thalnos, PRAISE N'ZOTH!

ban it in tournaments problem solved it's too rng-based

I saw that game of yogg-saron live, you could feel the audience demanding justice 😀

I can't believe Trump said nothing about not being able to use HERO POWER with hunter on the same turn when using Call of the Wild. Now it is a 5 damage burst instead of a 7 damage burst, UNLESS you have a coin on turn 10? lol

I think the Yogg-Saron nerf highlighted something bigger though, I feel it highlighted the fact that a competitive ban list is a good thing. Every other card game has one for this reason.

Yogg-Saron was a fun card and that's going to be impacted now, there's plenty of ways it die's so now you have a 10 mana play that potentially does absolutely nothing, it's just unplayable now in my opinion yes a lot of people disliked it, but a lot of people also liked it and those complaining about RNG don't seem to understand that everything up to that point has been pretty random as well. Draw the right card at the right time to either win or not lose, guess what that's random as well!

It sucks that they don't care about balancing cards for wild. It would actually be fun if it weren't for a few offenders making the mode unplayable.

2 mana for 3 attack? Frostbolt does that, and it can ignore taunts and doesn't need to take face damage. And Fiery Waraxe does that, but for 2 turns. Rockbiter is flatout garbage now.

See no problem with the clip. Cancer warlock loses with nice luck. Hearthstone can never be competitiv, just to many tcg-mechanics not in the game that are needed for that.
Much, MUCH to casual for that. No handcontrol, 30 cards is to less, no graveyardinteractions, no combos outside of otk-blärg, no counterspells/instants, nothing. Hitting with minions and hoping you draw better is not competitiv. and never will be.

blizzard pls, instead of making a fun card completely unplayable, how about you simply ban it from tournaments?

oh god, 6 mana grim patron + charge decks are going to be coming now
