New: Battlecry: Deal 7 damage randomly split between all enemies.
Old: Battlecry: Add Astalor, the Flamebringer to your hand.New: Battlecry: Add Astalor, the Protector to your hand.Old: Battlecry: Add Astalor, the Protector to your hand.This adjustment takes away a little bit of the deck’s explosive burst-from-hand capabilities.Īstalor Bloodsworn (changes to all three phases) Your next spell this turn costs (1) less.ĭev Comment: Frost Death Knight is performing well right now, so we wanted to slightly shave some of its power to make sure it stays in line with the rest of the meta after the other changes this patch. Your next spell this turn costs (2) less. Now that we’ve seen how the card performs at 3 mana, we think it can use another nudge-especially with the other top performers being adjusted down around it. We decided that we didn’t want to hit Hunter too hard all at once.
#HEARTHSTONE CHANGES PATCH#
When we changed Shockspitter to 3 mana in Patch 25.0.3, we expected that it would remain powerful after that change and debated whether we should just change it to 4 at that time. Sinful Brand was chosen as a card to target because it punishes opponents for simply playing the game, a play pattern that we don’t like being too powerful or prevalent.ĭev Comment: Hunter is the top class at most parts of the ladder. The change to the Gnoll/Maestra interaction is a major change to the class intended to substantially shakeup how it looks and plays, while the Sinstone Graveyard change gives opponents more of a chance to respond to the big Rogue pop-off turns.įinal Showdown (the first phase of the Demon Hunter Questline)ĭev Comment: Demon Hunter is the other best performing class at high levels of play, so these changes are intended to adjust its power. (Has +1/+1 for each other card you played this turn!)ĭev Comment: We recognize that Rogue has been a little too good (for a little too long) at higher ranks. (Has +1/+1 for each other card you played this turn!)
Dev Comment: Dual-class cards that are Rogue and another class will not reduce the cost of Gnoll. Costs (1) less for each non-Rogue class card you’ve added to your hand. Costs (1) less for each card you’ve added to your hand from another class. The following cards are being adjusted to be less powerful: Now that we have seen where the set’s archetypes landed on a power basis, we know where we can safely inject a bit of power. This is the first patch after the new March of the Lich King expansion where we have enough data to make significant and informed buffs to the new cards.
#HEARTHSTONE CHANGES HOW TO#
We’re discussing as a team how to make the patch schedule work a little better for future holiday periods. This can make it more painful when updates are a little slower, such as around the holiday break period. Patch 25.2.2 is a data-only patch, launching today, that includes updates to Standard, Battlegrounds, Duels, and more! Hearthstone Updatesĭev Comment: In general, our recent patch cadence has been faster than it has been in the past.
