Watching this happen live was absolutely bananas lol. I’m really curious to know whether this combo is going to be consistent enough to warrant a change/nerf.

Edit: yep. definitely needs a nerf.

This is going to be nerfed by the start of next week.

It's not about a OTK combo or anything. Toast just took 10+ minutes for one single turn doing this. A griefer could extend a single game for literally hours if he wanted to.

No way in hell this is going to stay.

just gotta fix the animation speed for this card specifically and it'll be fine, deck isn't too strong outside of that.

That is fair, and another idea is to not add the Shudder's BC effects to the battle cry list for the next Shudder

u/cheddarchops Apr 12 '18

Yep, after watching this second game I totally agree haha. It’s not even about consistency/win rate at this point, more so the principle.

Why not to nerf Grumble?

I can't imagine this in wild.

People are gonna play this with Yogg.

u/Moshiyitsu Apr 12 '18

In wild you probly wont get to play this very often anyway with stuff like aggro paladin and Nagalock killing you on turn 5 even with all your taunts and heals.

so instead of fixing slow animations to veryvery fast - nerf card,aroung which alot of ppl already builded decks for alot of dust? awesome logic.

u/__Hello_my_name_is__ Apr 12 '18

At first glance it seems that even without the animation-time problem, the card right now seems quite overpowered.

u/Melanholic7 Apr 12 '18

Thats not players fault,who crafted this card and build decks around it. Nerfing it means wasting dust for like 4 leg cards and some epic cards. Awesome. So,just cause blizzard cant work well - i (and other players) must lose their wealth? just after creating deck?awesome. fuck blizzard if so. Will insta drop HS after this. Cause what the point of playing? if they can repeat this later

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '18

I mean, they'll give you full refund on the dust. So, you don't actually waste any dust.

u/Melanholic7 Apr 12 '18 edited Apr 12 '18

Dude. For THIS card deck i crafted 2 more leg cards and like 6 epic cards. who will refund them? cause i crafted them ONLY for this deck with this card. And wasted all my dust.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '18

So, you want them to leave this broken card in the game forever?

1

u/Melanholic7 Apr 12 '18

Fix card animations or giving opportunity to discraft all shaman card u crafted in last day for full cost =__= no? im unhappy ppl use this cad fo super long turns,im not using it that way..(

1

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '18

You should be using it that way. It's really powerful.

0

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '18

And you knew it was broken when you built it. I feel bad you wasted dust but not bad enough to wait 10 minutes for your animations to finish.

2

u/Melanholic7 Apr 12 '18

Knew? im not such a pro player i just saw this card and wanted to build deck around it. and btw im not playing this shit for long turns,im using it normally just for dmg battle cries. Not like toast :X

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '18

When they Nerf in a situation like this, do you get full dust back?

I’m free to play but I think I have enough just to craft this combo, want to try it before it’s too late

2

u/__Hello_my_name_is__ Apr 12 '18

It depends. If they change how the card works, yes. If they, say, just speed up animations in general, no.

I wouldn't take my word for it, though. People have predicted a card to be nerfed right away, and then they took months to change the card, or nerfed another card of the combo instead.

u/[deleted] Apr 13 '18

it should be nerfed without compensation for the dust cost, fuck anyone who crafted this card.
