Mindfreaky918: Yeah well the "Swap" update was basically made to fix those Wardancers (don't worry dude I loved them too!). I really don't think they're useless by any stretch however as they're basically 3 extra points on Elven Scouts (Nice changes to them!) or Vrihedd Officers or even onto Saskia. Saskia in particular gives (if you can swap 2 of them) a 17 Power Gold who fixes your hand. Basically if we didn't get the change to Elven Scouts I'd say Wardancers would be useless but they at least I think can find a home in decks, rather than ALWAYS being in Scoia decks.

I'm more interested tbh in Henselt and how the changes to winch will change his gameplay. Also not really sure what Olgierd does as he basically is always just there for a round, but... seems kinda meh tbh now. Will have to wait and see in games with him I guess.

i_hope_you_rot: Does Gwent have a tutorial ( playing against the AI ) like Heartstone ?

HasanKaan: Really good changes in general I think, I was also expecting a nerf to nekker warriors but hope we will see that too.
Im hopefull about gwents future good job CDPR.
Thank you.

-gwynbLeidd_: Alchemy ng is dead now....But Greatswords still keeps up the wrecking.So much for balance, thank you.See you in 5 months.

AzIstenMacskaja: oh come on why now... greatswords are actually rather easy to destroy, given you have a good deck.
All decks gonna have their weak points, Alchemy ng was literal cancer tho, and boring too (plus there's still way to play alchemy ng and it's not even too bad. it's just not heavily overpowered).
I just don't get the drama. It's good they experiment and nerf/boost things. If it wasn't for these changes, everyone would play the same 2 decks, with no chance to build anything different.
