Chapter 604: It's Double Tweet Fryer Again!
Not to mention other places, just the Battle.net forum, which is the most intensively discussed by Glory Star players, has skyrocketed in traffic in less than 10 minutes after the update announcement was announced.
In a discussion post about the balance of druid class cards, the number of replies increased by almost 1 page per refresh:
"Shocked! I don't understand other updates, but the two cards of [Wild Growth] and [Nourishment] have weakened the druids! ”
"Nonsense, not to mention weakened, this time the balance of the druids is simply a direct deletion of this class, and before finding a new structure, the original technology system is estimated to have suffered a heavy blow."
"The housekeeping skills that I originally relied on to survive, after the balance, it is estimated that it is a 'usable' level, and the druid who slashed this knife is so miserable!"
"Ben Xiaode said wow, he cried out, he just spent a lot of money last month to move a set of wall virtues of the god of fate, and it hasn't been cool for a few days, why did the core jump fee system cut me directly."
"Ahem, to correct the above Xiaode player's statement, the jump fee can't be said to be cut, but it is said that it has become much weaker, and the timing of activating the full wall should be slower by 3 to 4 rounds, which can be regarded as giving other decks a little respite."
"Werewolf fighters expressed their praise for this druid balance, and there is no need to deliberately bring a [Master Craftsman Owersbuck] to gamble on the face and scratch the wall, as long as I operate and the card order is good enough, I should be able to start faster than the druid!"
"To be reasonable, I feel that this update is simply aimed at the fateful boss of the spirit world, [Wild Growth] and [Nourishment] are slashed, which is equivalent to the various druid routines taken out by the great god during this time at the same time!"
"Wow, the old transformation system druids can't beat the immortals of other professions now, and finally have the fate of the boss to be pampered, showing us a few sets of druid card groups that can be used to score points, but now they are all cut, and the little German player is confused, what should we use next?"
"I announce that the Druid has officially become a hidden class on the Hearthstone Ladder, and Hearthstone will only have 8 classes from now on!"
……
On the Battle.net forum, the druid profession that was most affected by this update was also the most discussed, with some small German players jumping out and crying miserably; There are druids who were bombed by various routines some time ago, and now they are gloating and mocking; There are also those who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and all kinds of fanning the flames;
As for the editors of various news media websites, not to mention, when encountering this kind of incident that needs to desperately seize traffic, one or two professional qualities have exploded, and in just ten minutes, news reports with pictures and texts, reasonable evidence, and even quoted classics have been released one after another:
"Battle.net Latest Balance Update Announcement Content and Related Analysis"
"One Picture Stream: How will this update affect the future ladder!" 》
"Xiaode has become a hidden profession, a hunter or the biggest beneficiary of the cost update"
"Druids step down from the altar, who will be the next ladder hero class?" 》
《……》
Anyway, for these media workers, they are not high-end players at level 5 or 10 on the ladder, and they don't need to analyze anything logically rigorous, as long as they copy and paste the content of the update announcement and the content of the more popular posts on the Battle.net forum into the press release, and the work is over.
Therefore, these analytical articles, which are obviously of the nature of "rubbing heat", are naturally inferior to the research of those organizations in the world of Glory Star that truly cultivate the druid profession at the depth level.
The impact of the balance update on these druid forces is also the most severe, at least the various minor German professional organizations in China have entered a state of emergency almost at the same time:
They urgently needed to discuss and make an impromptu decision about what to do with deckbuilding after the weakened druid system on the ladder was going to go.
……
Huaguo Tianci Group, similar to the Quancheng Lu family who officially joined the spirit world before, is also all of its players who cultivate the druid profession, and their strength can also rank in the top five in Huaguo's druid organization.
"Based on the weakened card system, how many of our decks are considered combat-ready now?"
In the headquarters building of Tianci Group, in the comprehensive conference room on the 57th floor, Pei Yongwu, a middle-aged man in the first place, had a solemn face and said slowly.
Not far below, a player who was piled up with various information documents in front of him immediately got up and replied: "Mr. Pei, what is our current situation...... There is no room for optimism. ”
"The overall cost of the original growth technology has been increased by 1 point, which means that we have to play a decent defense in the evening against a fast-attacking opponent, and the pace will be significantly lost."
"The previous 2 mana plus 4 spells mean that the enemy only has a maximum of three turns to attack without responsibility, whether it is [Fork in the Road] or [Sweep], or [Call of the Oak Tree], it can greatly relieve the pressure of the scene."
"Now it becomes 3 mana growth, and then enters the 5 mana phase, which is equivalent to one more round of time for our enemies to attack, especially if creatures such as [Thorn Valley Mobs] or [Vicious Hatchlings] enter the 3 mana stage to gain a foothold, will it be a huge trouble, and may even be pushed to the end by a wave."
"In addition, there is the problem of rhythm ......"
After patiently listening to the report provided by the data analyst below, Pei Yongwu of Tianci Group frowned quietly.
Pei Yongwu expected that the strength of the existing decks would deteriorate after the druids were weakened by the balance, but he didn't expect them to be so bad.
In the past two days, they have also studied the Tier grading system launched by the spirit world of fate, and know that the strength of decks including "Changjiade" and "Biting De" is basically at the level of the upper reaches of T4, and "Wall De" can even reach the strength of T3 close to T2 without being targeted, and they have also used these decks to obtain a lot of ladder points during this time.
However, this time the balance has weakened, and according to analysts' assessments, the strength is likely to fall directly to the mass level of T6 or even T7!
You know, they were similar to other druid forces at the time, and they chose to absorb and use the decks launched by Spiritual Destiny for ladder battles, but they didn't enjoy the dividends for a few months before they were sanctioned by the Glory Star Balance.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to frugality, they have already experienced the thrill of "oppressing sentient beings" all the way after the Druid Tianhu, and now it is difficult to go back to the old decks they used to use with weak combat power to suffer.
Pei Yongwu pondered for a moment, and then changed his question: "On the other side of the Spirit Realm, especially the Lu family who just joined the Spirit Realm, how do they react to this balance update?" ”
"This update is a blow to the entire druid system, we can probably only see if there are any new routines in the spirit world first, if they can't do it, things will be really troublesome!"
