32.2.4 Patch Notes: Constructed & Battlegrounds Updates

32.2.4 Patch Notes

Patch 32.2.4, launching later today, brings a few bug fixes and balance changes to Standard, Wild, and Battlegrounds!

Hearthstone Updates

Dev Comment: In this first balance change after the Embers of the World Tree Mini-Set, we’re addressing power and play experience outliers, both in the mini-set and in the cards before it. These changes are primarily aimed at reducing the speed and prevalence of single-turn blow outs. We’re also buffing some of the deck archetypes that we want you to re-explore.

On the Wild side, we’ve also made some bans and card changes. Our philosophy with Wild is still that we will step in less often, only to address particularly egregious play experience and balance outliers, but will make impactful changes when we do. Standard cards that are banned in Wild are expected to be unbanned and adjusted when they rotate out of Standard.

Battleground Updates

Dev Comment: Overall, we’re very pleased with how Trinkets and our last balance patch have been performing. For this patch, we wanted to take a bit more of a focused, lighter touch. We’ve made a few adjustments to Murlocs, Elementals, and Quilboar, as well as some specific stand-out cards like Land Lubber and Fire-forged Evoker. For Trinkets, we focused primarily on cost adjustments and curating which trinkets can be offered as “pivot” options. As always, we’ll continue to monitor the game and your feedback and make further adjustments as needed.
