If they nerf it like NG another faction will take it's place till the next patch. People already got some counter decks with various degree of succes. (due to the change in MMR so top players face each other more often)
So what i would like is a soft nerf like change the bears to 5 and apply weather after your turn to have a chance to counter it before it deals damage to buff the Axeman. Or put a hard cap on Axeman buff from damage like: " Whenever an Enemy is Damaged, Boost self by 1 to a max of 10 or 15"

I will stop playing gwent until skellige, or weather, or I hope both, gets patched.
99% games are against either skellige, or stupid weather spam.
Its not fun anymore.
Yesterday I used instant forfeit to any skellige bear, or 2nd weather in the round, but today it really creeps me out. So no gwent until patch.

The main issue I have with the Bears is that they hide the true perpetrators ... the axemen.
@3.5k + MMR one bear is hardly a problem, as they're quite unable to handle gold, armored or buffed units, whilst they themselves become a low tempo play that puts the SK player behind. A more severe problem is the axemen / frost setup.

I would be happy with small nerfs to bear, shield maidens. Other than that the only other card I have a big problem with is that gold card that they buff to 25. That card is just too much since there are too many easy ways to kill off the card that they put on your side.

It's a good card but I'm not sure if I actually have a problem with it. There are a lot of counters to buffing one or two cards to the heavens. One of my favorites is Bekker's twisted mirror. You can also scorch, igni, spores etc etc.

English is not my native language so I apologise for the misunderstanding.
It's all good. Your english is fine by the way

Exactly its pretty good and cheap no wonder why people lean to it. Its faction that just works and I think that issue is not with SK and more has to do with other factions lacking. I mean we have whole faction that is just deleted from the game and lots of stuff changed to a point where faction lost its identity. Cards were changed and balanced all that work was thrown away for some weird changes that never made any sense and now SK is faction to suffered least and its synergy is still there while being amplified with new weather system.
I agree I play as my favorite a weird hybrid Wild Hunt deck for fun on unranked and can do pretty well if I get lucky however I keep zooming in on one card for SK, the Ax Men. With 2 and 2 Armor they are four hit (And with Veteran in the second round they're five) what other Bronze can one hit a 4 hit unit? None, the Wild Hunters only hit at 3, Nilfgaards rot tossers don't work as they're easily avoided, ect. Hell in the second round with Veteran you have a five hit Golds and Silvers are the only thing that do five hit and this is a Bronze card. Beyond that SK also has easy resurrection so they're REALLY sticky. Lets not even get started on the insanity of the 6 hit Bears. Which are so good going first is actually an advantage for the,.lomvicmarko;n8984130 said:
It's funny cause not long ago, people were calling crach/morkvarg a meme deck and easy to counter.

Before the Open Beta? Crach has been king of the roost at the top MMR for almost the entirety of the open beta, Anyone who said that doesn't follow Gwent. Yes last patch was a lot more balanced but Crach has been a common fixation at the top since the first week of OB ended. CDPR listened too much to the community and didn't put enough weight in the stats.
Just went 0-8 against SK today (played 11 games). Like many, I am done until a patch comes out to fix SK, because it just isn't fun anymore. Since the last patch my Gwent tracker stats show roughly 75% of my games have been against SK. This patch is even hurting Twitch because every single MMR pushing streamer is running SK almost exclusively and it really isn't fun watching SK vs. SK 80% of the time. You can literally scroll down the list and it's all SK at certain times of the day.
