This week marks over one month since the release of the Ashes of Outlands expansion for Hearthstone. Throughout 2019 Blizzard made significant changes to the established meta in each expansion through either balance changes, the addition of new cards, or sometimes both.
While players might expect to see something similar in the coming week or two, Blizzard has been oddly silent on the matter. This may be because the Demon Hunter class has needed repeated nerfs, and likely needs a third round to lower its win rates.
In esports, Week 4 of the Grandmasters has now wrapped up competition. We are now in the division of players based on their points standings into a round-robin form of play through to week 7. The mode remains a Conquest with 1 ban, and the top 6 of Division A will advance, and the top 4 of Division B. The action resumes on Friday, May 15 and we will have a clearer picture of which players stand to move on, and which are at risk of relegation.
Finally, This week’s Tavern Brawl is “A Chance Encounter” and is available until Wednesday. Players face off with a deck of 30 random cards. There is little strategy here, so Warlock is a great choice given its powerful card draw Hero Power and the seemingly random nature of these decks.
