Card Updates

As with most of our expansions, since Worldwalker is introducing a wide variety of new cards & mechanics, we're non shipping significant balance updates this patch, though we do have a few small-scale updates.

In the 3.7.0 patch notes, we announced that we were aiming for patch iii.8.0 to introduce changes for play/bandage functionality for copied spells from cards like Karma and Taric to count as being Played. However, we need some more time to implement that functionality, so we're aiming for a patch in the nearly future - we'll proceed everyone on when to expect that update.

Our next major balance update patch is scheduled for patch 3.x.0 in late June - stay tuned for more than information about what to expect in that patch as the Worldwalker meta settles!

From game designer Alexz Lee (aka DeadboltDoris): For this patch, Pirate aggro has been putting up some pretty loftier numbers lately and we wanted to accost that going into Worldwalker.

Both changes do ii of import things:

1. Makes it easier for your opponent to remove them via spells and blocking, and makes it more than difficult to freely play Demolitionist without losing a unit on board, especially in the instance of Demolitionist targeting Crackshot.

2. We recognize that these changes are coming out alongside Annie and practice take the potential to touch on her decks, but nosotros are confident that Annie and her pals are going to be fine, merely we'll be keeping an eye out!

Region Roads

Starting with the Pulsefire Event, we're making some changes to reward allocation & Region Roads, but beginning, some context:
