We’re always working to improve the Arena experience, and your feedback is appreciated!

We’ve just updated the appearance rate of cards to ensure class balance remains close to the ideal 50% win-rate. Specifically, the win-rate of Rogue and Warlock should now be decreased. The win-rate of Druid, Mage, Paladin and Warrior should now be increased. Card appearance rates for Hunter, Priest and Shaman remain untouched.

Hey everyone,

With today’s hotfix we’ve also done a post-rotation Arena balance update. Here’s what we’ve changed:

• Updated the appearance rate of specific cards to ensure class balance remains close to the ideal 50% win-rate.
  • The win-rate of Hunter, Mage, and Paladin should now be decreased.
  • The win-rate of Priest, Rogue, Shaman, and Warrior should now be increased.
  • Card appearance rates for Druid and Warlock remain untouched.

The Arena Buckets have been updated on the Current Arena Rules thread. We will continue to monitor Arena balance and adjust as needed, especially around set rotations. Thanks!

We’ve released an update to all regions in order to adjust the appearance rate of cards to ensure a fair balance between classes in Arenas.

Specifically, the win-rate of Hunter and Rogue should now be decreased. The win-rate of Druid, Paladin, Priest, Shaman and Warrior should now be increased. Card appearance rates for Mage and Warlock remain untouched.

Thanks!
