RIP Patron Warrior, Warsong Commander Balance Change Incoming

by JR Cook - 5 years ago

The days of Patron Warrior leading the meta as the top deck of top tier decks is finally coming to an end. There has been a lot of speculation on what Blizzard could do against a dominating deck that punishes opponents for playing minions and being able to push out 40+ damage in one turn. Some people thought nerfing Battle Rage and it’s cycling ability was the way to go, some people thought nerfing Frothing Bersker to only get attacks bonuses for damaged friendly minions is the way to go, and some people thought that Warsong Commander’s ability to give minions charge was what needed nerfed.

Well, Blizzard has now published the change and Warsong Commander will no longer give minions charge. Instead, she will give minions that already have charge a +1 attack.

There is currently no word on WHEN this change will occur, just that it will be in an upcoming patch. I find it likely to happen sometime in the next few days.

EDIT: the patch will go LIVE next week

The patch that includes the Warsong Commander change is currently planned for next week. https://t.co/jIY42eoBiV — Hearthstone (@PlayHearthstone) October 13, 2015
