● Preface
March 2065 438+04 No.1 13 Hearthstone Legend: Heroes of Warcraft officially put into operation. From this point on (or even earlier), weakening the patch will repeatedly hurt the keyword "charge". This article, however, tells the tragic legend of the key word "charge"
● Charge decay history
◆20 13. 10.23 hearthstone legend: Warcraft the legend of heroes started the internal test of national service.
Hearthstone legend basic series card * * * owns 15 charge followers (including claw druids, excluding South China Sea boatmen).
In the internal testing stage, the weakened patch (hereinafter referred to as weakened charge) was launched four times.
◆ 20 13.6438+02. 10 Close the door to make dogs change, and hungry vultures and silver commanders weaken.
(Before modification on the left, after modification on the right, the same below)
Close the door and let the dog go: 4 fees. Every time an enemy follower appears on the battlefield, a hound will be summoned to charge 1/ 1. (Old version: Close the door and release the dog: make your beast gain+1 attack power and have the charge)
Commander Yin: The figure has changed from 4/3 to 4/2, and the rules remain unchanged.
Hungry vulture: The number changed from 2/2 to 2/ 1, and the rule remained unchanged. It was 2 fees at that time.
Why is the weakening of hungry vultures related to the charge?
In ancient times, dragon and dog hunting can be done with the help of two young dragons+two timberwolves+closing the door and releasing dogs, which can cause 22 damage. At that time, the hunter successfully passed the hungry vulture. In addition, once you close the door and let the dog go, you can give the beast a charge attribute. It is also expected that the two components of dragon and dog will be weakened.
◆ 2014.1.16 Close the door to release the dog, change the battle song commander and charge.
Close the door and let the dog go: the charge is changed from 4 to 2, and the rules remain unchanged. The first enhanced card in hearthstone legend history. )
Warsong Commander: Whenever you summon a follower whose attack power is less than or equal to 3, let this follower charge. (Old Warsong Commander: Your other followers are charged. )
Charge: 3 fee, which enables a friendly follower to gain +2 attack power and charge. (Old version fee: 0 fee, this round, let a friendly follower get a fee. )
It is worth mentioning that before the Black Rock Mountain Flame Edition, the Warsong Commander could not be used as a derivative. This also laid the groundwork for the future.
◆20 14.3. 13 hearthstone legend: Warcraft the legend of heroes was officially put into operation.
◆20 14.5.8 closing the door and releasing the dog is weakened.
◆20 14.9.22 The train king and the hungry vultures weakened.
Renoai, the king of trains: From 4 to 5 fees, the rules remain unchanged.
Official reason: Che Wang created an era in which you can be killed in one round even if you don't have any cards in the scene. We admire all kinds of card games, but exporting 20+ damage in one round is neither interesting nor interactive.
Official reason: Hungry vultures can make hunter players draw cards efficiently without too much cost. After this change, the opponent of hunter player will have more time to deal with vultures and their ability to catch cards.
Since then, the neutral fireball has disappeared, and the hungry vultures have faded out of people's sight forever.
◆ 2014.12.10 goblin vs. dwarf version is online.
The goblin vs. Dwarf series card * * * has 1 charge follower, who is a Nomoregan infantry.
◆20 15.4.3 Heishishan Flame Edition was launched.
Before the flame version of Blackstone Mountain, the warsong commander could not be used as a derivative. However, in the version of Blackstone Mountain, they fixed this BUG.
In the flame edition of Blackstone Mountain, there is a single card called the terror slave owner.
In this way, that era also produced a topic that China players have talked about so far-the slave war in the Sino-US rivalry.
◆2065 438+05. 8. 25 Champion demo version was launched.
The goblin vs. Dwarf series card * * * has three charge followers, namely the Blade Druid, the Silver Knight, the Sky Captain Kurag and the Ice Roar.
In addition, there are two special recharge cards.
Soldiers and heavily armored war horses in alexstrasza need to be triggered by pre-challenge.
It is worth mentioning that the ice roar is probably the idea of early surprise followers.
◆ 20 15.438+00.20 Warsong Commander weakened.
Warsong Commander: Your charge followers gain+1 attack power. (Old Warsong Commander: Whenever you summon a follower whose attack power is less than or equal to 3, let this follower get a charge. )
Official reason: charge and direct injury are the two most boring mechanisms in hearthstone legend game. Because it can't be countered, players can only predict.
Because this card belongs to the basic deck, it is easier to understand.
The reason to weaken the Warsong Commander without weakening the horrible slave owner or the furious Berserker is that the Warsong Commander is the biggest cause of today's situation and may cause more problems in the future.
The adjustment should try to ensure the characteristics of this card. The developer tried 30 to 40 different designs to study how to change this card better, and finally chose this scheme.
The horse of fear itself is a Zhang Zhongli card in the curse of Naxxramas. Based on the effect of Warsong Commander, the original plan was cancelled, and finally it became a warlock's professional card in the champion demo version. If the battle song is not adjusted, every card after us will face such a problem.
The weakening of warsong commanders was called seismology in hearthstone in those days, and it may also be regarded as the first wave of "abandoned pit tide" in hearthstone. The official weakening of the warsong commander is like the death penalty. After losing the battle hymn commander-in-chief, the slave war was devastated and lost in the long river of history.
Now think about the existence of battle songs at that time, which restricted Blizzard from developing new warrior cards and new neutral cards. If we don't change it, all new followers of the second and third attacks should prevent this kind of accidental cooperation with slave owners in the future. Perhaps it is over-developed now, and the existence of the old version of the battle song is still acceptable.
◆20 16.4.25 force of nature and Arcane Puppet weakened.
Force of nature: Five fees, summon three 2/2 tree people. (Old force of nature: Summon three 2/2 Tree People with Charge and destroy them at the end of the turn. )
Official reason: The new version of force of nature's mana cost is reduced by 1 point, but the charge is removed, and the tree people are changed to exist forever like other tree people summoned by druids. This change also makes the powerful combination of natural forces and savage roar disappear. Now, opponents will no longer be taken away by this combination, and druid players no longer need to always combine force of nature and savage roar.
Arcane Puppet: 4/4, Volo: Give your opponent a magic crystal. (Old Arcane Puppet: 4/2, Charge, Volora: Give your opponent a magic crystal. )
Official reason: Charging is a very valuable ability. Arcane puppets are essential in many OTK decks, and its defects are almost irrelevant. In order to solve this problem, we removed the charge of the arcane puppet, increased its health to 4 points, and the rest remained unchanged. Now, the Arcane Puppet is a 4/4 follower who consumes 3 mana. Vorol's effect is to give your opponent a magic crystal.
This change involves 12 card, and four cards in a deck are weakened at the same time, which are roaring Germany, and these four cards are the Jungle Guardian, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, the Ace Hunter and force of nature.
◆20 16.4.27 The whispering version of ancient gods was launched.
The goblin vs. dwarf series cards have no paid followers.
◆ 20 16.6438+00.4 Charge weakening
Charge: 1 fee, so that a friendly follower can charge. You can't attack heroes this round. (Old version of charge: 3 fees, allowing a friendly follower to gain +2 attack power and charge. )
Official reason: the current charge often appears in those empty decks that can win out of thin air. In fact, we really like the feeling of combo seconds kill. We like the career of soldiers in the post-slave war era, and we also like loading cards, because you can save cards and explode in one breath. We will continue to design new cards and strategies according to this idea. We have now redesigned the charge card to give followers a chance to participate in the battle, but the opponent has stopped bleeding before he can react.
This weakening is mainly aimed at the werewolf war in the ladder. Furious werewolf+charge+double anger, which can be completed at the cost of 6 and 20 damage. The strength of the charge mechanism and the strength of the werewolf war at this time, the few charge modules of the soldiers also decreased with the weakening of the charge again.
◆20 16. 12.2 entered the dragon garkisen version and was launched.
The goblin vs. Dwarf series card * * * has 1 charge follower, which is a pirate patch.
In addition, there are three special followers, three wild boar brothers.
◆20 17.4.7 braved the Angolo version to go online.
Goblins vs. Dwarfs series cards * * * have 1 charge followers, which are running Tyrannosaurus Rex.
◆ 2017.8.11Frozen Throne Knight Edition is online.
The knight series card of Frozen Throne * * * has 1 charge follower, and is a cold front warrior.
The Cold Blade Warrior is the last charge follower in Hearthstone legend. So far, there is no new charge follower.
◆20 18.2.7 pirate patch weakened.
Pirate patch: After you play a pirate card, put followers from your library into the battlefield. (Old Pirate Patch: It can charge your followers into the battlefield from your library after you play a pirate card. )
Official reason: With the approaching Hearthstone New Year, we will be a little worried if Patches are allowed to leave the standard mode in the current state. Patches is a very strong card, and almost all professions can take advantage of him, and his strength in the early stage of the game also makes the card control team try their best to deal with him. After this change, wild players can build decks more flexibly.
◆20 18.4. 13 witch forest version is online.
Witch forest has added the resident keyword raid. The era of charging is over.
● Attend
Under the change of version, the intensity of charging terms limits the design idea, resulting in less and less charging terms. Six years after the internal test, Hearthstone has 32 cards related to charges. In the witch forest version, a new resident keyword, surprise attack, was introduced, and followers with the mark of surprise attack can attack enemy followers immediately after they appear on the stage.
The appearance of surprise attack, because it increases the interactivity of the scene and avoids the frustration of directly hitting the face, has now become a perfect substitute for the charge in the eyes of designers. At present, in a short period of one and a half years, there are 65 cards related to raids.
