Hearthstone Is Giving Demon Hunter Another Nerf

It seems like the new Demon Hunter addition to Hearthstone isn't quite working out like some thought it might. Introduced just a short time ago as the latest character class you can play in the game, it appears the devs were unprepared for how powerful players could turn their decks into life-sapping monsters. Go look up videos on YouTube and clips on Twitch of people forfeiting matches in five rounds over it. So the latest 17.2.1 patch is giving the class a second round of nerfs to try and balance out the system. You can see the full list of changes below as the Hunter, Rogue, and Warrior classes are also getting slight nerfs, while the Paladin and Shaman classes are getting buffed.
