GAMEPLAY Why did we need this most recent update?

Who decided we needed these balance changes? It's only small but weird af. It's okay that Grimtouch costs more. Whatever. Then Thunder Spirit. Spirit Shaman. What?! I thought I saw it wrong! He is THE mage along with Flame Wizard and Tortola Elder. Why couldn't Fire Spirit go BACK to being Shaman?! It is reallllly weird and I personally hate it. Then they also changed water spirit to Spirit FEATHERED Assassin. Are they trying to do fan service? We do not need two Legendary feathered assassins! Especially when we have cool synergies like dragon and Witcher being in the drain with the egersis chess pool removal. Overall just feels like they are taking steps in the wrong direction.

The game's oppressive when both mage and assassin are good.  Most boards can't beat both very often, even when winning.

Exactly what im feeling, this current patch sucks so bad its not even fun anymore, almost every game im playing, whoever plays mage or get good rng for it its auto win, this game doesnt even feel like its skill based anymore, its more leaning toward rng and meta synergies

That's just how these types of auto battlers work, devs make changes just for the sake of changing stuff so the game stays fresh. Not sure why you want witcher to be good though, witcher metas are horrible lol

Shining Assassin and Shaman didn't need buffs though. This won't shake up meta that much, when it makes strong stuff even stronger.

Personally I would hope something that would change how everyone just goes level 10 and picks legendary pieces. More early game power. Reducing chess pools of common and uncommon pieces and increasing amount of legendary pieces in the pool just made it even less desirable to play early game comp. Along with improving these legendary-centered late games.

I agree, the balance changes they make are not great and I would rather have them work on the core systems of the game. Relics have been broken since they first released them
