Conor Kou, the original creator of Hearthstone's beloved Battlegrounds game mode, tweeted early this morning that nerfs are coming to the Demons tribe.
Hearthstone's Chris Sierra said last week that "things" were coming to address community concerns in response to Demons. With Conor's tweet, we now know that those changes are arriving sooner rather than later.
- Demon nerfs come later this week. Our money is on Thursday.
- They are going to look at Demons again in their next big Battlegrounds patch.
What changes are you hoping come to the Demon tribe in Battlegrounds?
Quote From Conor Kou Planning to have a nerf to Demons later this week. We'll keep an eye on Demons and look at them again after our next big Battlegrounds content patch, which is right around the corner ;)

Cobalt to Tier 4.
Replace Homuculus with Voidwalker.
Good, bg's have been not fun since Tirion and the new demons were added.
Before that patch, you had multiple tribes that could get you in the top 4. Now, you have to go for demons. I'm looking forward to a new meta with multiple viable strategies!
I just played my 1st game since Tirion was put in as a Hero and picked him. I was then offered Wrath Weaver & Fiendish Servant.
That carried my early game until I received both Mal'Ganis & Voidlord at Tier 4 & I easily won.
2nd match was offered Nefarian & once again the Demon tribe took me to 3rd.
I can see how Demons are op right now.
It sure would be nice to know more in-depth thoughts from the team on this... like what nerfs they are thinking of and when they will drop. Runeterra is definitely raising the bar on transparency and keeping the community involved in the discussion. Blizzard has got to learn from this ;)
For real. Blizzard has a goal though that prevents them from being very open, especially when it comes to announcing changes, which is a little unfortunate.
They want all their messaging on them to go out through blogs. The blogs need to be translated into all the languages they write their blogs in. There is SO. DAMN. MUCH. OVERHEAD. I see the value they're going for but really, everything just gets translated by the community anyway and Hearthstone cards get understood pretty easily I feel.
Its funny how their goal is to have translated messaging for card nerfs, but then when card announcements hit during streamer reveals, everything just goes to shit and sometimes community translations are straight-up wrong and we'll go hours before communication on that.
There has been a TON of improvement though over the past year in their communication. I attribute it to basically hiring an entirely new community team.
and yet no nerfs to Cobalt Guardian or Spawn of N'zoth...
There might be some they said "we will nerf demons" they didn't say "we will not touch anything else" they always do touch judging by past patches
Those may be a problem in the future after "the next big patch" (??) but right now if you are in demons you are guaranteed top 3 almost every time.
Unless you haven't played recently, but Spawn of N'zoth is barely played in comparison to Demons. Demons beats everything, and is very highrolly and makes any other tribe nearly obsolete. Without poison to keep it in control, getting big enough means guaranteed win.
So. Thursday right? They only ever patch on Tuesday and Thursday. Unless they actually do a quick one on us today
Yeah almost certain this will be a Thursday patch
is it going to affect the arena rotation as well?
