The recent bug fixes show a lack of creativity in the design team.
The recent bug fixes to the priest and mage interactions (Tyrande and Arcanomicon) showcase in my opinion a rigidity in design philosophy that ignores player enjoyment.
I understand why these are technically bugs and don't line up with existing cards, but the optics of removing some of the only fun and interesting interactions we've seen for these classes, which are both doing generally terribly, with the newly released cards is frustrating to say the least. Instead of thinking how they could maybe facilitate these interactions by rewording the cards to make the text match the effect they've decided to get rid of it entirely, effectively nerfing two of the worst classes in the game right now.
These bugs weren't meta breaking, but they were fun for players, and all that patching these out has done is reduced player enjoyment.
