Druid of Peace: Difference between revisions

Druid of Peace was tested in the Version 6.2 playtest, with the proposed nerf being a removal of its attack and increased Gold cost. Community playtesters noted that while it was not common in casual gameplay, it was deemed overpowered in competitive gameplay, with it dominating over many archetypes, and being a hard counter to OTK.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video">{{cite|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTs-Rj9TCVw|title=BCS 6.2 Tester Commentary|publisher=YouTube, Odyssey}}</ref> It should be noted that competitive players would rely on [[Return to Sender]] (versus single enemy Monkeys) and [[Ceasefire]] (against Defenders) in OTK to counter specific anti-OTK cards.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video" /> In addition to making Druid of Peace harder to place and survive aggression from these nerfs,<ref name="odyssey-6.2-video" /> some community playtesters noted that aggro vs control is an important balance change consideration; although aggro was deemed overpowered by average players, nerfs to control cards that doubled as anti-aggro were prioritized more than nerfing aggro in general.<ref name="odyssey-6.2-reddit">{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/bloonscardstorm/comments/1pok1pk/62_beta_changes_that_didnt_make_it_into_the_game/|title=6.2 Beta Changes That Didn't Make It Into The Game (w/ tester notes)|publisher=Reddit, r/bloonscardstorm}}</ref>
