How Balance Patches Keep the Tower Rush Meta Fresh


This inevitably leads to a 'meta'—a dominant strategy that everyone must either play or specifically build to counter.

If a game's meta remains stagnant for too long, the player base quickly becomes bored of seeing the exact same decks.
How Developers Balance
A nerf usually involves slightly reducing the unit's hitpoints, decreasing its attack speed, or increasing its mana cost.

Conversely, cards that are completely ignored by the community receive 'buffs' to make them more attractive.

For free-to-play players, a massive balance patch can be incredibly frustrating if their one maxed deck is heavily nerfed.

Once the dust settles and the new dominant strategies emerge, tweak your deck to ensure you have the appropriate counters.

The greatest players are not those who master a single deck, but those who can adapt to any meta the developers throw at them.
