Rogue (Shadowstep) near single highhandedly getting Neutral Battlecries nerfed, what a shocker. It's happened so many times it's genuinely baffling why they haven't tried reworking the class to not be so reliant and restricted by a -2 mana Battlecry/Combo doubler, it only gets better with time as Battlecries become more powerful due to Power Creep. Whenever it becomes too much and too oppressive because of some interaction with it and another card, instead of actually addressing the root problem they always nerf the symptomatic cards rather than the cause. They nerfed Preparation because of how it limited design space when making spells, why not Shadowstep?
@@michaelbowman6684 It'll get it nerfed for shaman as well; given they have skarr and lamplighters, which can easily come out to 22+ damage at the top of an aggro shell.
Roffle I hope you see this comment. I watch your vids almost daily. I was the the rouge voltron and I freaked out when I saw your name. Thanks for destroying me. Also nerf lamp lighter.
at 13:00 that was 49 damage from hand, first lamplighter is 9, each shadowstep represents 10+10 and you have two so its 40 extra. with one more mana you could also breakdance two lamplighters for 21 more damage next turn but that would be completely unneeded.
Personally, I think it seems like an elemental! By the way roffle, the local authorities are demanding more money to look the other way on our 'legal organ transport facility' what should we do?
am i just playing the deck unbelievably incorrectly? i went 1/9 with it... i genuinely don't know what to do... it fells like every game i'm either dead turn 4... or got my entire board removed 6 turns in a row...
These infinite scaling or easily achievable conditions that do massive damage need to be minion only. It’s ridiculous as the support side of the deck can already be strong enough but oh look here’s 20 to face from hand that you can’t stop.
Elemental Rogue is currently the 3rd best performing Elemental deck after the introduction of Lamplighter. Shadowstep is not the problem, Lamplighter is.
Epic video roffle! Surely content creators bringing more attention to this deck will not cause any problems on ladder! Anyway, gonna go head into rankeAND I’M DEAD FROM FULL HEALTH ON TURN 7 COOL AWESOME AND FUN
Such a shame that Elemental Mage and Shaman - which desperately needed wincons beyond Skarr/Remnant - are going to die for Rogue's sins. Fuck Shadowstep Edit: I've become one of those RU-vid commenters haven't I
And the random spells or legendary minions are better? At least this deck has a clear goal...from festival of legends till whizbangs workshop nothing new was added besides the invis zilliax rogue that doubled it's power...combo cards were dead, mechs were dead, ogre gang was cool but now is too slow, pirates are played with demon hunter even though rogue received a good amount of support
