This patch was basically the end of the rifts 31 day trial + something they tacked on at the end to “decrease randomness” in deck drafting. This isnt a balance patch and it shouldnt be treated like one

What’s the problems in the current meta then? What do you want to be changed?
Circlus
MDG
Lavaslasher
Slight adjustment for the entire arcanyst thing
Just play gauntlet and don’t play ranked. Its an easy solution everyone can get behind.
I don’t know why you would be upset for
A.They gave no indication that balance patch was coming
B. Traditionally most of the balance changes have come around 2ish to 3 months or so after the expansion
Kron was about 2 months after
(Shimzar Aug 30, Patch 1.74 Oct 17 )
Variax and Gaze were nerf about 2 months after as well.
(Rise of BB Dec 15 ,Patch 1.80 Feb 2)
So this is just about range when you would expect something to happen.So mid month this month is still general range of time they have normally worked.Also when you compare Duelyst to Hearthstone things have stay around fester way longer in that game than in duelyst.
C. Duelyst probaly has 100 plus card expansion coming end of the quarter.So basically end of June to mid July so somewhere in that time period we should have a expansion.Why woud they nerf stuff hard before expansion that would potential fix things?
Yeah the meta is bad but you can see the reasoning behind nothing happening if a expansion is coming realtively soon.

I don’t like to play Gauntlet
I see no reason to get good at a game mode i don’t need and don’t like
This basically equals "no need to play the game at all"
I already have a shitton of Gold, so no need for that.
Yeah be ready for even more broken shit, we can always need more of that. And it’s so fun to have to deal with it for months on end because the development team doesn’t give a fuck. And after the expansion we will have even more of this shit to deal with for even more months. How great is that?
Well some people were naive enough to still have hope. Fortunately i am not one of them but it kinda sucks if you always predict the worst and end up being right with it all the time…
Well then yeah don’t play the game until it is in a state you enjoy. I do not know why people like to make emotional rants or make it a big public scene when they are going to stop playing a game these days.
People act like entitled babies whenever they don’t like something and it isn’t changed in their favour. Matter of fact I hate this meta rn, but I don’t whine about it. Because it’s just a game so I go do other stuff.

Well when I buy a new car and it breaks down after half a year then I will complain about it and if I pay money to support a game I enjoy only to see the devs ruining it months later then I will complain as well and I dare say I have every right to do so. But I certainly won’t make a topic when I leave because when I leave it means I’ve stopped caring about it and I am not wasting time on things I don’t care about. God knows I should have stopped caring months ago but for some reason I still care and it honestly makes me sick.
Who fault is that for them being naive and it is not even matter of predicting the worse. 1 month is to soon to patch anything for Balance players,Players honestly do have to be given time to solve the meta. 2 months is still probably not enough time but the devs do something.So at that point you are probably testing changes and trying to come to descions what is the best change to implent. It is simple logic imo if it isn’t game breaking you probably will have to wait for 2 or 3 months for balance change.
We are in the 3 month time frame now but exapansion is in the pipeline.They are doing internal testing on the meta that will be up coming and they are balancing stuff based on what is current game now.Wouldn’t making big changes to factions effect what they are doing? Let say they give Magmar and Vanar weak set and all other factions a strong set.Then the game would be realtively balance right? But what happens if they nerf Vanar and Magmar hard and give them weak set then when expansion is released.Magmar and Vanar will be weak and we will have another uneven meta.
If it takes you two months to realise that Lavaslasher and MDG are busted then you shouldn’t be part of a balance team imo. Those cards shouldn’t have been released in the first place and if they slip through they should have been changed a week or two after release. I know that CPG is a small company and doesn’t have a huge team to test things, but they have a community to test if they want to. They can make a quick change, hear the community feedback and depending on it, change again a week later. Several small steps to balance a card with community feedback involved would yield far better results than just silently testing for 3 months only to end up with a card less in the game because it got nerfed into oblivion. And if you look back at this games history, how many cards have been nerfed and are still played today? The problem aren’t time or personal constraints here, the problem is that CPG thinks they know everything better when they don’t.
Luckily we know everything better

Oh I read everything don’t worry. And while I understand your argument and may agree with parts of it, I still find the last sentence hilarious and that was all I wanted to say 
Because in general I am pretty tired of these discussions.
You make it sound as if you are competent in the amount of effort that goes into editing a single card, let alone how that single card will affect all other cards.
You also state several changes for a single card and if the change is still not widely accepted it would be changed again. In a perfect world with infinite time and where it was possible to please everyone this would be amazing but we don’t live there yet.
All i am saying is stop simplifying things you do not understand.

It also wouldn’t look that good for the devs if they changed cards all the time.
