There Will Be No Balance Changes This Week (Before Masters Tour: Castla Nathria)

Masters Tour: Murder at Castle Nathria is happening this weekend, August 12-14. And Blizzard has just confirmed that there will be no balance changes before that. This means that, given the usual patch timings, the earliest I would expect them are next Tuesday or Thursday (August 16 or 18).

And I think that’s… fine? We don’t have any decks that are absolutely breaking the meta. Yes, some of them are too strong (mostly Imp Warlock), but not to the point of the game being unplayable. Some of the decks that we were afraid of on Day 1 ended up not working, while others are being discovered (like Habugabu’s Shaman which took ladder by the storm over the last 2-3 days). I think that the meta is still not stable enough to say what exactly needs nerfs and by how much.

2 weeks is a perfect time for balance changes unless something requires immediate attention. More data and more time to think about them leads to overall better balance choices.
