Buffs and Nerfs: What We Could See Next Patch?

HowlingMines has reason to believe the upcoming balance patch could contain some more buffs and nerfs for favourite and infamous cards!

Today, he breaks down his Top 5 targets for Buffs, and Top 5 targets for Nerfs.

Howdy folks, friendly neighbourhood HowlingMines here!

With the big January 31st Battle Mode Balance Patch quickly approaching, and Ben Brode teasing that we hadn’t seen the final adjustment to Leader just yet – many players assume this patch will contain another balance update to several of your favourite and most infamous cards.

So today, I’m breaking down my Top 5 picks for a Buff, Top 5 picks for a Nerf – and what I’d do to every single one!
