Hello!
@RidiculousHat requested Designer Insights regarding the BGs balance patch, and I have 15 minutes before lunch so here we go.
Bartendotron: Feels like budget Omu right now, so we removed him. Would love to update and bring him back at some point. He& #39;s a great character.

Ragnaros Nerf: We discussed a couple ways to turn Rag down. Originally in testing his HP was kill 30 enemies, and we overshot when we buffed him internally. Decided 25 and +3/+3 was still good timing for the HP to activate, and a very useful buff. Still probably pretty good.
Maiev Nerf: She& #39;s strong, but not too far off from where we& #39;d like her to be. We felt taking +1 Health off of the buff would be fine for now. Her playstyle is fun.
Chenvaala Buff: She was preeeeety weak. Fun play pattern though, and wanted one hero that encourages Elementals.

Patchwerk Buff: Felt like a fine place to put a bit more power. Not as strong as when he was initially released, but should still be a reasonable buff.
Sindragosa Buff: Awesome character, slightly underwhelming HP. Wanted to put a little power here so we gave it a stat.

King Mukla Buff: Mukla would like Big Bananas, because they are bigger than regular Bananas. Only about 1 in 5 times though.
Whirlwind Tempest Removed: Mega-Windfury can feel really not interactive, and we felt it wasn& #39;t a particularly fun minion to have in the pool.

Pogo-Hopper Removed: This was a tough decision. It hurts Brann and Shudderwock slightly, but Jandice and Pogos can& #39;t exist in the game in the same way any longer. Ultimately we decided to preserve Jandice& #39;s HP because it& #39;s really unique and interesting if Pogo just isn& #39;t there.
Selfless Hero to Tier 2 and Deadly Spore to Tier 5: Divine Shield/Poison endgame comps are super powerful, and can feel a little like old Murlocs. We think this is good to an extent, but the appearance rates for these 2 cards was just a bit too high.
