I'm at work at the moment and can't post my thoughts in detail. However, I agree with Nimraphel on many points.
Will post later to highlight a few things.

Azhdar-Kir;n8334660 said:Hi. I just wanted to say that I'm an Skellige player who still hasn't changed his faction despite the various harsh nerfs that have been inflicted upon it. I'm close to rank 12 and now almost 90% of my opponents are now Scoia'taels who'll almost use the same exact strategy and I can't do naught about it only because no matter how hard I try they'll get an at-least-one-card advantage and in the meantime they're only buffing their Toruviel and keeping 1 Clear skies to remove all the weather(thx to the new patch) for their last move which is the only counter for Skellige.
To add salt to the injury, my poor axemen's hard gained buffs(with my poor whale which gets eaten or locked or thundered all the time as soon as it's seen and/or YenCon which gets locked easily and if it doesn't, it will most likely hit a high HP card only 1 hit at a time which can be completely harmless and ignored)get burnt three or even 4 times(with Schirru,Aglais,Scorch,Nature's gift). The same goes for bears. I can't just simply change my faction since I lack many good cards in the others. But even If I could, so what? I'd join the Scoia'tael tide and i'd be using the same boring strategy that would make the game even more boring and what would be the point of the existence of a faction named "Skellige"?. All in all, Imo, Skellige is quite a dead and useless faction esp. after the new patch.

There are less ways to return units to base power than before, and lots of ways to buff (improved thunderbolt, triss butterfly, dandelion. bloody baron, K-siege expert) Note alot of these are NR specific, but you get the drift.....
