i was one the people who genuinely believes that DK zerg one of the most BS decks i’ve ever encountered.
getting permanent +1/1 with all the reborn and deathrattles multiple effects is just ridiculous.
and to make it worse, the cheap costs of these cards, you kinda ignoring what your oppenent is doing unless ‘‘taunt’’ and keep going with your infinity buffed 1 mana and 3 mana cards till they got no hp more.
i really hated the fact that even some of cards which suppose to counter buffed minions were useless and didn’t apply hp reset on zergs as its an aura effect.
in the first two weeks when i tried zerg i was shocked how OP this deck is, i even stopped playing it in ranked. as i had the feeling i was farming free wins,and people don’t know yet how to stop this.
it was like standing in front of ATM knowing the password of it withdrawaling all the money you want. and go.
it just doesn’t feel right.
that being said
lets look at the nerfs we are getting…
infestor
Old: 3/2. Deathrattle: Your Zerg minions have +1/+1 for the rest of the game.
New: 4/2. Deathrattle: Your Zerg minions have +1 Attack for the rest of the game.
we had issue with theirinfinite buff but why on earth you made them so easy to clear?
all classes have got plenty of board clearing cards. let alone trading minion vs minion. making zergs so easy to delete thats a bit of killing the entire concept of hand/deck buffed cards. instead of making a limit on that buff, you made every deal 1 dmg and 2 dmg to minion card easy enough to ruin the entire zergs.
my idea of nefring them by
1- don’t make the buff permanent. i mean you can easy reset their health to an actual 1 hp. regadless how much they were buffed before.
2- make a limit on how much a zerg can get +1/1 buff. a hard cap of 8/8 for example would do.
so you’re forcing dk not only to fill their decks with reborn effects to multiple that buff but to let them use another type of cards in combination with zergs.
3- one of the zerg and all starcraft decks failure has been , that you can ignore entire recent expansions to build your deck, and you’re still a meta, thats totaly wrong.
Kerrigan, Queen of Blades
Old: [7 Mana]
New: [8 Mana]
as long as the hero power can be used this isn’t a big deal.
Zergling
Old: Battlecry: Summon a copy of this.
New: Battlecry: Summon a 1/1 Zergling.
again this is butchering
what the point of the pre played buffs if you get anyways 1/1 instead of a copy?
this is pretty much a RIP Zergs imo.
thanks for purchasing our starcraft mini set. we fooled you again.
Blizz , you did lazy job by doing lazy nerfs instead of rework the mechanic and make it smart deck to play.
