Hearthstone Battlegrounds changes with patch 22.2.1
In a patch that is rolling out right now in form of a hotfix,Battlegrounds is getting some balance changes. These might most likely be some preliminary changes before a greater balancing when more data is available. Now with HearthstoneBuddies around, there is much more room for balancing the game. Moreover, the Armor handicap hasn’t been restored yet, and that could also be a way of helping some weaker heroes.

As we mentioned,Hearthstone Patch22.2.1 is a hotfix, meaning that players won’t need to download anything new from the client. However, devs mentioned that: “the changes will not show correctly while hovering over the minions in the shop, on the hero select screen, or when hovering over the Buddy Meter. This will be corrected in a future update.”
Tarecgosa
The change to this dragon was something expected by many players. In the previous metagames, getting an early Tarecgosa made a huge impact since it was a minion that could easily scale and gave players a composition direction in Tavern Tier 3. However, what made Tarecgosa steamroll lobbies was the combination with Tavish’s Buddy, Crabby. The new Hero combined perfectly with the ability to keep enchantments Tarecgosa has. TheHearthstone patch22.2.1 aims to tone down a bit this combo which boosted Tavish’s performance.

This way, the powerful effect that the Elementium Squirrel Bomb has is more in line with the moment it is available to players. The Squirrel’s tempo boost, combined with the already powerful Mech comp, made Millificent skyrocket in winrate all the way to the top of theHearthstone BattlegroundsTier list before the 22.2.1 patch.

The change to Drakonid Enforcer does not answer a current problem in the metagame. The reason for this change in the 22.2.1Hearthstone Patchis to keep balanced the number of dragons in each Tavern Tier. With Tarecgosa going to Tier 4, Drakonid Enforcer goes down to Tavern Tier 3. Now it could be a viable tempo option combined with Bronze Warden, both now on Tavern Tier 3.
