Discussion: Patch Notes: June 9th, 2015 and Coalitions Rune Giveaway Results

bye torts

 

The Goblin Brute daily will suck hella hard now

 

Dashing Maneuver change seems smart.

Pre-nerf to AA, I guess

Nerfs to all the birds. Reasonable.


Best parts of this patch: Warcry bug fix and showing new baseline nora costs in notes.

 

I will miss Fascinate on Ancient Slag.

 

Well, Ferren lost NKD. The one thing they really had going for them.

 

No IS changes!

Lots of Ferren losing NKD.

Salaman Hunter got nerfed hard. Poor Salaman. They no longer have any nice things.

 

- Yeah Im not sure what the ancient slag does now. If gravity well and tremor were on different upgrade lines he would be an interesting tank/peel. But currently Im not sure how I would use him.

 

- Fury of the storm, storm field got whacked.

 

Seeing moga lord guard update makes me believe you should also include "default cost:##" for things that only have cost change. (Read: it should have both default cost and the nora adjustment line in patch note.)

 

@Sokolov
I don't know who thought of this, but I gotta say: putting Skeezick Alliance on upgrades was a very, very good idea. If you build strong racials and splash them on upgrades, it opens a lot of room for diversity because you give the option of playing themed/meta, and I think Pox really needs the option again.
Good job.

 

Necrotaur got changed in some way... missed?

 

Tortalleon Transport.
HP decrease (+3).

 

i cant believe this,patch without seamstress nerfs
its like a dream

 

But not too much. It blows when a racial is an upgrade and you have to choose between it and a needed ability when building a theme deck.

See: Resilient Skeezick having Shatter/Loyalty/Skeezick Alliance on upgrade 1. Loyaltly is great, and Skeezick could really use more sources of shatter, but the racial is tied to the same path.

 

A year or so ago SL players were complaining that Skeezick Alliance was on upgrades preventing them from taking advantage of the racial ability as well as the other abilities on the upgrade path.

 

Yes, exactly the point.
Because if a player wants to use the over the top racial, he has to give up on counters and a more heterogenic bg to have the edge. Sounds good to me.

 

Not sure, maybe just my oversight...

P.S.: Missed the change on a previous patch. My fault.

 

Well, if the racial is strong enough, then it is... balanced?
