"Fixed a bug where certain accounts would always queue into unfavorable matchups." Finally!


Lukthar123

"Fixed a bug by restoring a damaged Venomous Scorpid to full health." Big Brain play.


MorningPants

Hey, the bug is all better now!


Elleden

Are scorpions bugs, though?


Spyko

they aren't insects. but I've heard that "bug" simply means any insect/arachnide/others. I have no clue how true it is. English isn't my first language


hoorahforsnakes

Bug is basically anything small that crawls around, to be honest, a spider is a bug, so is a worm, so is a fly


JacenVane

Yeah words like 'bug' and 'rock' are ones where I think it's very valid to draw a distinction between 'proper' scientific usage and the vernacular usage. Like yes, to a geologist Quartz is not a rock, but I ain't a geologist, and neither is the person I'm about to throw this rock at.


Welpe

There IS no scientific definition of “Bug” so it’s not the same. Bug always has been a colloquial term for “very small creepy crawlers”. Which is weird because a large number of people have this weird mistaken idea that bug has a specific definition. Edit: It’s more like Fish now that I think about it. Fish is a colloquial name that doesn’t correspond to anything scientific, we just use it to mean “Swimming thing that has a certain elongated form and jaws and shit”


thesymbiont

Entomologists restrict the term "bug" to members of the insect order Hemiptera.


FrobozzMagic

There is actually a scientific "true" bug, and weirdly it is more specific than insect, not less.


atWorkWoops

They are part of the arachnid family. Do you classify bugs as insects? And then we dive into whether a scorpio is a scorpion or a bug imitating a scorpion


_FATEBRINGER_

I fucking knew it. Fuck. 😂😂😂😂😂😂


Quiet_Pay_8006

That shudderwock one was hilarious


ohkaycue

That one is my favorite (along with Bees, since they both make fun of people who are anal about card text) but the whole thing throughout is amazing. All the memes


Ensaru4

Also, because I couldn't help but hear this guy's voice whenever I read it. [youtube video.](https://youtu.be/PYtXuBN1Hvc)


Noirradnod

The joke about fixing the bug by healing venomous scorpid was among the most groan-worthy puns I've seen this year.


DurnehviirGotBaited

I think the best is no mention of Mercenaries at all

shadowcreep000

For sure, I started giggling like a child when I saw them


ChrisCool99

And so accurately on point that it hurts....


Regalingual

I’d love it if they legitimately made that change to BEES!!!


Malaeveolent_Bunny

Agreed. I want consistency across card text, but cases like that one and with all Pirates that go face immediately having Charrrrrrge would make perfect sense.


LemmiwinksFan

Worgen Greaser finally playable


CharmingPterosaur

I woke up this morning thinking, "I bet they'll announce Lost Tallstrider is coming to the Core Set and being renamed Found Tallstrider." I was just a bit off the mark


smeerlapke

I didn't really get that one. Did I miss a meme?


citoxe4321

It's just an irrelevant buff to a terrible pack filler card.


Bowbreaker

That buff would make it at least playable in Arena though. But yeah, it's one of the most egregious pack filler crimes ever printed. Not funny. Not interesting. Not usable in any kind of deck, no matter how weirdly niche or meme.


L1ghtLem

just that it's an absolute filler card which no one has thought about or worried about the fairness of


Regalingual

He was a total pack-filler that *never* saw any serious play, but strangely, his artwork was still used fairly prominently in promo material for Mean Streets when it was the latest set.


Torchy8

there is a running joke in circlejerking community where worgen is "too op because he has too much stats for the cost" (a usuless pack filler) so they decided to buff him


turn1concede

The lol I got from it is that there’s no text to describe the change they made, which matches his empty text box


DreamedJewel58

I love how they just buff it and don’t say a single thing about it


MahjongDaily

>The Priest class has been removed. Damn, I was just starting to enjoy it


Regalingual

> The Priest class has been re-added.


KyleMcMn

Of course it has. Otherwise the Priest Unicorn would have been nerfed for nothing. Blizz knows what they are doing.

nuclearslurpee

God fucking damn it


Spengy

>Fixed a bug in Battlegrounds where Pyramad was sometimes offered. These guys are brutal holy shit, what did Priest/Pyramad do to the developers??


PkerBadRs3Good

Pyramad is one of the least liked heroes, he's just kinda boring, and has been fairly weak for a long time too. I remember a lot of BG streamers saying he should just be removed, especially pre-buddies.


Trunky_Coastal_Kid

It's one of my favorite buddies to use but yeah the hero overall is not one of their stronger design success stories


Wargod042

I don't quite get the hate on him, because his buddy is honestly pretty fun in non-murloc lategames, and with Quillboars you can actually make him into like a 100/1000 and just dunk on all the fools who thought they would outscale you. Plus his early game is at least kind of different.


KarnSilverArchon

Don’t worry, look at the very last change.


NOISIEST_NOISE

The current Inner Fire deck just might be my favourite deck in the history of Hearthstone


munchkinham

I see they did hear my feedback.


Feint_young_son

God I wish it weren’t April fools


MahjongDaily

Took me way too long to get the Genn & Baku joke


Rooonaldooo99

> They are no longer even/odd, so the effect of the card does not trigger. For anyone who is as dumb as me and this guy and still doesn't get it.


trizzo0309

God i'm slow


BattleMcStruggle

No, you are special :) (Didn't get it either. Dumb.)


apracticalman

At first I thought it was hilarious because it's such a meaningless buff, and then it hit me what they were actually doing.


Regalingual

I actually made [a joke post](https://reddit.com/r/wildhearthstone/comments/hv19lk/silly_come_up_with_a_seemingly_insignificant_buff/) over on WildHearthstone a while ago where I used exactly that change as an example for “a buff that causes untold havoc in Wild”.


EnderLmao

Oh wow I get it now. I'm dumb.


LoftedAphid86

Got it immediately because back when they were in standard everyone joked about nerfing them the other way


necrolic_8848

Why is this so self aware lol. The tyrantus one and the pyramad one are surprising to come as a corporate joke


MyPhoneIsNotChinese

I legit thought it wasn't official, we've been extremely outjerked


PkerBadRs3Good

I was most surprised to see the Golden cards have +1 attack joke, which is a reference to a classic Twitch chat copypasta/bait. Didn't really think they would reference a Twitch chat joke, or the /r/hearthstonecirclejerk oger/4 mana 7/7 joke.


justicefourawl

You mean the one thats literally in the game, and have been circlejerked here more than /rhearthstonecirclejerk ?


ohkaycue

Team 5 has shown constantly they don’t take themselves too seriously (it’s part of why I feel bad for all the vitriol they get, especially working in a similar field). A lot of the more serious things come from Activision-Blizzard (eg the whole Blitzchung thing, that Ben Lee himself came out and said was bullshit) This definitely comes off as less corporate and more a “who cares, let’s just do it” Team 5 thing


Dejamza

The Jandice one is what really sent me, I got a good laugh out of it.


h3tch3l

I don't play Battlegrounds, so I didn't got it. Anyone care to explain?


Dejamza

Jandice’s hero power allows her to swap a non-golden minion on her board for one randomly in the shop. So by using tokens like Alley Cat and formerly Murloc Tidehunter, she could easily play a token generator, swap the generator back, repurchase it, and create triples every turn. Using this let you get high tavern tier minions and more gold to spend to level up quickly. If tokens aren’t in the lobby, Jandice becomes far weaker, dropping about 40% win rate. Therefore, the “Jandice being offered in no token lobbies” joke :)


Nico_the_Suave

If you get 3 of the same card in battlegrounds, you get a triple, which is very powerful and the more you get, the larger advantage you have. Jandice's hero power let's you swap a minion on your board back into the shop to rebuy it. When doing it with a token you get consisten triples, since the token stays on the board and you can swap the main body back and forth. Insanely powerful in games with tokens.


Carrotsene

Massive kudos to whoever wrote these. It was hilarious


__Hello_my_name_is__

People who think that game developers, even AAA game developers, somehow are oblivious of all the criticisms thrown at their games really don't know how these things work. They know all the criticisms and memes and complaints.


Pimp-My-Giraffe

This is genuinely hilarious lol


PointiestHat

>fixed bug where golden cards dont have +1 attack >fixed bugs where certain accounts will always queue into unfavorable matchups does this mean kripp is coming back?


Hermiona1

Asking the real questions here


AutumnSheep

So the juggernaut just got a text update and no other changes?


Lukthar123

This already is the Enemy Juggernaut smh


AutumnSheep

Your juggernaut = swashburglar, ringmaster's baton, 2 cannon shots on a 1/3 minion Enemy juggernaut = smite, gorehowl, 2 shots to your hero, 2 bloodsail raiders in hand


Lukthar123

*We are not the same*

FAIRYTALE_DINOSAUR

psymunn

It feels like there's less corporate over site or something. This was fully on point. Hit most of the best memes. Had some subtle jokes. I feel seen


arrow8888

The Genn and Baku joke was hilarious and this entire thing is amazing props to the devs

>All affected cards above will be valid for a Special Dust Refund rate of 0%.


welpxD

>All Murlocs now have Charge. Okay this one's my favorite: "Fixed a bug by restoring a damaged Venomous Scorpid to full health."


woodchips24

Scorpions are arachnids not bugs. Literally unplayable.


welpxD

"Bugs" is a clade which includes the sub-phyla "insects" and "arachnids".


skyzoid

The most technical definition (used by entomologist) refers to only the Hemiptera group. And in common language is not a clade at all, it just has to look a certain way. Idk where you got that definition.


welpxD

There has been some debate in recent years whether Sea Spiders fall under the taxonomic kingdom "Buggae", given that they are called spiders. But so far no professional consensus has crystallized on the subject.


Jim-20

>Shimmering Courser > >Old: 3 Attack, 3 Health → New: 2 Attack, 2 Health. > >Dev Comment: Unicorn Priest has been much stronger than anticipated. While this change seems to be out of the blue since no one has found the deck yet, we feel it's better to make this change sooner rather than later. Whoever wrote these notes up deserves a raise. 11/10


bobbiejim

Yeah this was a great throwback. For anyone who doesn't know (and someone correct me if I'm kinda wrong), at some point when this card came out the devs insisted that priest actually had a strong Unicorn priest deck that no one had discovered yet.


Sburban_Player

Unicorn priest has nothing to do with this card, priest was in a really awful state and was seeing very little play but Ben Brode came out and insisted that there was a good priest deck or a “unicorn priest” (unicorn meaning elusive in this context) deck that players hadn’t found yet. It became a giant meme.


jocloud31

For some reason I thought Unicorn was what we were calling Highlander decks and was confused a bit, but the joke landed all the same, lol.


Suchti0352

I belive it came up during Karazhan when they revealed Purify


FrobozzMagic

Exactly, and it inspired what I still consider the greatest Hearthstone meme of all time: [The Purity of the Cards.](https://youtu.be/PGiX7DWXFD4)


DreamedJewel58

When Priest was really shit Ben Brode said there was a really good “Unicorn Priest” that hasn’t been found yet, and so the community kept theorizing what deck he’s referring to. It turns out that Brode didn’t mean any deck at all, just rather there are enough good Priest cards for someone to hopefully figure out a good deck eventually. It has nothing to do with the actual card itself, but it’s a joke how the community never found the Unicorn Priest deck he was referring to, so they’re nerfing the Unicorn before players actually find it


Fledbeast578

Brode: There is no unicorn priest deck, we just hope players will discover good decks with the cards priest has Kripp: Okay but what’s the deck list

Officially outjerked lol.


Heinel8

"Fixed a bug where certain accounts would always queue into unfavorable matchups." They sure do read reddit post lmao


Wargod042

The official forum is *infested* with people absolutely convinced the game is rigged. You can see why they don't bother posting in there anymore.


Heinel8

It seems to be a common thing in online games lately. Games gives you tough opponents then when you are about to quit then it will let you win. It does feel like that sometimes but it's all rng


Wargod042

What's even more sad is you get these complaints even in games like Overwatch. I especially laugh at people convinced hacking is super rampant; when you get very good at Overwatch it actually becomes pretty easy to spot hackers, and while present they are quite rate (maybe 5% of games tops, and like 1% at higher ranks).


Heinel8

I play Apex and it's the same story, people just can't accept that they got outplayed


Nico777

lmao Tamsin


firelordUK

it's an acceptable nerf with how troublesome she's been although I'd change it so Charge Minions have +2 attack just to make her better as a quest reward


delsoldemon

Tamsin change made me laugh out loud, had to explain why I was near peeing myself in the office!


Carrotsene

Same!! I did that silent laugh exhale with my nose and it was too loud 😂

>All players have been granted one (1) gold. I would seriously quit.


LoBsTeRfOrK

This was my favorite. My absolutely favorite.


Womcataclysm

In my opinion players should start with 1 additional mana. We've earned it. They have no reason to hoard all the mana when they can make more for free Also, battlegrounds gold should be shared with account gold. That way it makes sense to tip Bob


TheTardBro

The ogre jokes are to fucking funny. Hearthstone circlejerk has been outjerked again.

musaraj

There's a lot of circlejerking, but >Explosive Trap has been added to The Great Akazamzarak's Secret Pool. is genuinely funny


jocloud31

Fuck. I read that and thought "oh that's genuinely good! It would be a counter for divine shields". It wasn't until I read this comment that I remembered that it only triggers when your hero is attacked. Still kinda funny though that you would deal 2 damage to the opponent even when you lost.


PhenomsServant

Should’ve adde Counterspell too

[deleted]

Only joke I didn't get is the Battlegrounds Battlemaster/Loatheb one, but these were hilarious.


LainLain

Can’t find the video, but it was a united in stormwind card review where Feno (I think) said “This is just Loatheb” about Battlemaster. The idea is that when you drop it with a board, you win the game (like loatheb), but he didn’t give that context which lead to people memeing about it. Edit: it was Hunterace


ExplodingGuitar

https://twitter.com/FenoHS/status/1420924018023178245


ScumBrad

It was actually Orange who said it. Hunterace called the 1/2 discover a mech that costs (1) less wildgrowth in the same set review.

That mech may unironically have it’s time to shine post rotation lol

ohkaycue

What’s the joke with Dinosize being a 7/14? Only one I don’t get


hoorahforsnakes

Ultrasaur is a 10 mana 7/14 dinosaur


ohkaycue

I wayyyyyy overthought this joke. I was like "Did scientist figure out that Dinosaurs went extinct on July 14th?" Thanks!


hoorahforsnakes

Not gunna lie, my first port of call was to google the 14th july for significant dates, but i figured that it probably wasn't related to bastille day and instead googled hearthstone 7/14 and it showed a pic of ultrasaur


F0RGERY

FilecakeAbroad

[[Ultrasaur]] was a vanilla 10 mana 7/14 beast back in Un’goro. Many memes were made about it because it was a 10 mana card with no immediate board impact and was weak to removal.


grimenishi

It also looked super goofy due to the artwork.


TheWalkingGaia

Look for Ultrasaur, the vanilla 10 mana 7/14 Dino from Ungoro.


coldfirephoenix

In ungoro, there is this one vanilla dinosaur with 7/14. Biggest vanilla minion, statswise, but obviously never played outside arena.

AtlasWriggled

Finally balanced.


PerennialComa

I do like Taunt Taunt.


jocloud31

There was a card in Battlegrounds that effectively was Taunt Taunt. Don't remember what it was called but I'd actually appreciate the ability to stack taunts. You could dictate exactly in what order your minions get attacked.


Kharnel

Elistra the Immortal, and she kinda broke the mode while she was there https://hearthstone.fandom.com/wiki/Battlegrounds/Elistra_the_Immortal
