No more Slave driver & Viper witcher

Delete Viper witcher and Slave driver from a game.

- steal cards: very annoying
- too strong removal: placement cards are dead

game is broken !!

 

[StrykerxS77x]

Those two cards are BS. I hope they do at least some balancing when this season ends.

 

[Snake_Foxhounder]

Slave driver = bad, all other bronze create cards = good? If you remove slave drivers, remove every other create card.

Witchers need a fix pronto. At the very least ointment, so they can't be revived.

All the top tier decks need nerfs, not only alchemy

wow you are wanting to nerf nilfgaards only viable deck, srsly l2p. I have no troubles beating alchemy and wipers requers you to build your deck around them. Only thing would be to rework slavedrivers and that's it but no Point ruining Another archetype for NG. I bet you guys just hate the faction andf that's it. Maby go cry about ST, NR or SK instead

 

[ZenaRose]

The only question is do devs care about balance? Or they let same decks rule for 1 more month? Will see soon

And maybe aside some obvious nerfs in need, other decks are in a need for a buff, don't you think?

Vip Witchers need to be increased by 1 power so ointment can't target them. That's it.

Yes 6 deal 13 is decent value for bronze card

Lol all the current viper players in ranked are pathetic running 9 alchemy cards hahaha what a joke :comeatmebro:

i run 18 alchemy cards so my vipers are basically a ciri nova, still consistently get my viperz thanks too recon and triss extra res so 7 vipers, very good even tried 26 alchemys was iffy only got about 2 vipers a match and no one plays above 15 usually anywayyy
now truth is i dont find them fun i dont play vipers anymore, and every build i play counters vipers except my nilfgaard soldier build now that needs a buff its a fun build!! Just too easily removed.
i play reveal and destroy vipers, play.

Vipers are balanced but a bit too flexible, Their entire build is based around alchemeys which can brick their hand. Maybe nerf vipers to 1 power or something? Or bring back quen signnnn!!! boom instant fix!
problem solved cya

Wrong. Those cards specifically have huge issues. Having to shove a bunch of alchemy cards in a deck doesn't justify how ridiculously strong Vipers are.

 

[1990BW]

Perhaps the easiest way to nerf alchemy (and some other decks) is to remove all create cards from ranked.
No more slave drivers and a smaller pool of alchemy cards which means lower damage for vipers.

Vipers are ok, but Beer should not be in alchemy tag!

Seven 5-deal 13 bronzes are super broken. I cant play any engine card, it gets killed immediately (6 or 7 times with new Triss). I cant play Greatsword or Longship, Seige support or Reinforced Trebuchet, Farseer or Dragoon, cant even play GOLDEN TrissBut, Borkh or YennCon ETC
Im literally forced to play point spam because of broken unbalanced alchemy deck with 5-deal 13-repeat 6 times bronzes

And i dont want play silly point spam. Ill better install other CCG, like many top gwent streamers already did

 

[ifeedtherain]

My opinion is why GWENT met hell lot of cards chages is that devs can't create good gameplay. Game is kinda bad. As you can see the balance berween cards is always near ~10-15 power. Some cards can provide solo 15> are OP like Ciri.
So the whole thing is to get value over 15> by one card solo or by combo. This is boring.

 

[Hellsmoke77]

Delete Nilfgaard, go back to the drawing board. It's nothing but annoying having them all in your deck, hand and graveyard. If there is one single thing I absolutely hate about Gwent it's the existence of that broken faction. Yes to any nerf for NG.
