Hearthstone Senior Game Designer Response

I was just telling you several days ago about the Hearthstone patch that will effectively eliminate the Patron Warrior decks from the game. As I said back then, the nerf to Warsong Commander is extremely drastic, and as you can expect, not everyone was happy to hear the news. Especially Patron Warrior players.

This is why Ben Brode, a senior game developer from Blizzard, has decided to release a video where he talks about how they made this decision. He talks about how problematic Warsong Commander has been since the start of the game, and how they thought about numerous other designs before deciding on the final state of the card.
