Blizzard Details New Hearthstone Balance Changes
Blizzard has announced new balance changes coming to Hearthstone in the 10.2 update.
In a blog post, Blizzard detailed a series of nerfs coming to several popular cards when the update hits next month.
As expected, Corridor Creeper - a card that appears in a high percentage of the most powerful decks in the game - will be changed. It is now a 2/5 instead of a 5/5, meaning that even when its cost is reduced to zero, it's not capable of the same kinds of huge tempo swings.
No one saw this card coming before Kobolds & Catacombs was released.
