Hearthstone Update 11.1 – Shudderwock & Lifedrinker Battlecry Speed Update

This is a very small patch, but it increases the speed of the Battlecry animations of Shudderwock and Lifedrinker. It also limits Shudderwock to a maximum of 20 Battlecries.

In this small update, we’re changing a pair of Battlecry animations and tuning Arena draft rates.

Read on for details!

    Nerfing Shudderwock, doesnt give dust for a nerf.

      It’s not a nerf. Only like %1 of Shudderwocks ever did more then 20 battlecries. Most Shudderwock decks have only 9-11 battlecry cards.

    I only wish they would’ve sped up Spiteful Summoners’ animation, too. The reveilled card is shown like… for forever!?

      Honestly, I think Kripp promoted this card as a joke. It might be better in the future, but the witchwood rotation rolled shaman’s best class cards all the way to basic.

      Strange, isn’t it? As it seems, Blizzard doesn’t count the cap as a nerf.
