Hearthstone 34.4.2 Patch Notes Released by Blizzard
The latest Hearthstone update, version 34.4.2, has been rolled out with significant balance changes aimed at enhancing gameplay across various modes including Arena and Battlegrounds. Blizzard has acknowledged the positive player feedback regarding the current meta and has strategically chosen to keep this patch relatively small.
Key Updates in Hearthstone Patch 34.4.2
This patch primarily focuses on tuning card performance and addressing overpowered elements within the game. Notably, two major updates are anticipated in the near future. These updates will introduce extensive balance changes and an annual set rotation alongside a Core Set update.
Card Changes
- Morchie: A minor buff aimed at enhancing her appeal.
- Elise the Navigator: Adjustments are planned for a future patch due to her significant impact on the meta.
Arena Updates
- Stasis Dragon: The Great Dracorex can no longer be generated in gameplay.
- Infinite Wolf: The card’s cost has been adjusted from 3 Mana to 4 Mana and remains banned.
Battlegrounds Modifications
The Battlegrounds changes are specifically designed to reduce the power of popular strategies, including Deathrattles, which have become too dominant in the current meta. Adjustments have been made to:
- Monstrous Macaw
- Twilight Broodmother
- Apexis Guardian
- Carapace Raiser
In addition, less popular Timewarped cards have received buffs to encourage their use and improve their effectiveness in the game.
Minion and Spell Updates
- Apexis Guardian: Stats changed from 6/4 to 7/5 with new abilities.
- Monstrous Macaw: Tier increased from 3 to 4 with stat adjustments.
Hero and Armor Changes
Several heroes received changes in armor. For instance, Jim Raynor’s armor has been reduced to 12, while Rakanishu’s has also been decreased.
Looking Ahead
Blizzard has committed to monitoring the effects of these adjustments closely. They anticipate that the mid-season update will bring additional changes based on player feedback. Players are encouraged to stay tuned for more developments.
