Hearthstone, i nerf sono online!
Durante la notte gli sviluppatori di Hearthstone hanno rilasciato nella locanda, sia per PC che per MOBILE, tutti i bilanciamenti alle carte ed agli eroi di battlegrounds annunciati a metà settimana.
In merito a questa tornata di nerf, abbiamo prima analizzato la situazione che riguarda il formato standard (parlandone in un articolo che troverete qui) ed abbiamo poi dedicato le nostre attenzioni unicamente agli aggiornamenti della Battaglia con un altro approfondimento (che troverete qui) che speriamo possano esservi utili.
Di seguito andiamo quindi a riportare le note della patch complete, ricordandovi che da questo momento è attivo il rimborso totale sulle carte colpite dai nerf.

Arena: The appearance rate of cards in the draft has been updated to ensure class balance remains close to the ideal 50% win-rate. Specifically, the win-rate of Druid, Hunter, and Paladin should now be decreased. The win-rate of Priest, Rogue, Shaman and Warlock should now be increased. Card appearance rates for Mage and Warrior remain untouched.
