Hearthstone Fine Tunes Current Meta With An Extensive Balance Patch
The winds of change are sweeping through Hearthstone as Blizzard rolls out an extensive balance patch for the online collectible card game. Brace yourselves for a rollercoaster ride of nerfs and buffs that comes hand in hand with Update 26.2.2.
Blizzard, however, assures the community that the balance patch isn’t meant to flip the meta on its head, but will focus mostly on fine-tuning it. “Overall, the meta is in a pretty good spot right now, with lots of competitive options for players across almost every class,” said the devs. “This is our opportunity to some adjustments that hit a few power outliers and play experience outliers. We’re also including a few buffs that we hope will give players a few more neutral options and open up some space for the weaker classes.”
In line with the latest balance , Blizzard has pushed back the next Heroic Tavern Brawl to give players time to test the waters and adjust to the changes. The full patch notes can be found on the Hearthstone official site if you want to dive into the details.
Patch 26.2.2 goes live today, including balance updates to Standard, Battlegrounds, and Duels!
