PSA: The epic offering rate bug has been fixed.
Just in case you're still interested in playing this meta... the common/rare/epic offering rates seem to be back to their intended amounts.

Is this why mage's winrate dropped to 49% in hsreplay?

Yeep

It definitely helps but the core issue of dragon discovery still being prevalent makes me just wanna wait for rotation

Absolutely ridiculous that it took them this long. Probably shaped the previous meta more than any other factor.

Do you have a source? I found informal confirmation (kinda) on Twitter.

HSReplay stats are pretty conclusive, epic rates have dropped more than half

While I don't disagree that Epic (and Rare) offering weights have been adjusted (decreased) based both on observations and HSR data, we have no way to know for sure if the rarity weights are the actual values they used to be in the past or Blizzard assigned different values.
Regardless it would be nice if there was official formal communication (that isn't just a Team 5 member responding to a tweet when they aren't even 100% sure) for these things especially since this "bug" is likely someone constantly forgetting to tick a checkbox to apply rarity weights in the draft pool after things get changed (suspect adding/removing Sets to draft pool reset rarity weights to 1 by unchecking assigned weights).

So are people happy with the "fix" ? My experience with this meta over a few runs has been quite insane . What have your runs been after the patch ?

I wondered why I had 2 hunters straight up go 12, then checked hsreplay lol.
Turns out the increase in bloodseeker numbers shutting people out early, endless diving gryphons and then mountain bear close, is pretty hard to beat.
Drafted a druid with 3 mark of the lotus too.
I'd had priests go 12 previously, with grave rune n bless spam. At this point with the numbers it isn't even jank to do it, but merely the obvious way to go.
Regarding the other post on the forum - to be fair the new arena team have done a good job shaking up the arena meta for the last weeks till new expac. I worry that they spun the dials up on the cards to eleven though, with certain cards seen too much. But if this is merely an experiment, used as a basis for what they'll do in the future, and they'll adjust accordingly, then it looks good.

I cant wait till it is introduced again with rotation and sticks around for 2 months again \o/ Also interesting if that was the only change since Warrior got a 5 % boost in the win rates hmmm ...
The lackey 2/3 suddenly increased deck presence by around 300%
Think there are other changes too, didn't pay too much attention.
