It wouldn't have to be charge, you aren't summoning new minions, you're turning your existing ones into 2/2's.

Change starving buzzard from 100% draw when playing a beast to 50%. Hunters fixed.
That would hurt hunters too much. Every class has a class card, or ability to generate multiple cards immediately.

They kind of do if you count farsight, and their class ability as basically 2 cards.
Same with Locks with their class ability and Mortal coil.
But looking at hunter they do still have flair, and tracking. So I guess it wouldn't be too bad.

The comments by Brad Bode kinda worry me. He seems too reluctant to change cards and feels like the meta will just evolve to "anti-hunter", and that kind of evolution is good for the game. I disagree with all this. I think in a digital game, one of the big strengths is you can slightly tweak shit to keep the game fun and fresh.

Shaman doesn't have the card draw of other classes, but it has the ultra-mega permanent-making hero power. It isn't the best power in the game, but the ability to play a totem every turn is the way that Shaman makes up for its lack of card draw. Instead of massive card draw, Shaman makes significant passive permanents every turn andsavesits cards instead.

I couldn't feel more the opposite. The game isn't imbalanced and you don't fidget with cards just because people are bitching. With a card game the burden is on the players. Too much Hunter? Adapt. You don't want to adapt, you just want Hunter to be much worse? Can't help you.
And there are new cards on the way this summer. Everything is going to be immediately different. Going in and making changes now when nothing is broken for the sole purpose of making something else popular doesn't make any sense.

Most other classes have to give something up to get immediate cards. Hunter gets additional cards as a consequence of making an already decent play.

Hunter out draws every other class by such a ridiculous amount. It should not be possible to out draw a life tapping warlock by 10 cards for basically 4 mana and making plays you normally would anyways. Buzzard should just be changed to actually playing a beast so that UTH and Animal Companion don't draw. Leave all the other UTH interactions like Timber Wolf and Hyena. It's just the draw power is out of control

That's a pretty good idea, you would have to adjust the health on buzzard tho.
Make it a 1/3 like the cleric

Well, or just introduce counters and throw two or three on the buzzard. Draw a card at the cost of one counter. Hell, give it one counter and an effect of add one counter each turn if you like.
There are many, many ways to balance things but some would require additional 'complexity' and Blizzard really wants to keep shit simple for Timmy. I even get that a bit because we all need Timmy to keep a happy winrate.

I agree with this %100. Leave the meta alone and just keep shifting it around with new cards. As soon as they start changing cards to tinker with the meta they are going down an unwinnable path of development.

I think I'm done with ranked this season. I tanked from 3 to 6 on just the shittiest luck ever. 7 games I was one one off lethal 1-2 turns before I died. 7 games, where I just needed 1 more damage from anywhere at all, and nothing. Tons of games where they just got fucking perfect draws and I couldn't get anything. I had a Druid v Druid game where all I needed for 12 cards was a Black Knight, and it was the 3rd card from the bottom. Nothing like drawing 7 cards in a turn with a Gadgetzan and not pulling it.
