That's just the way the interaction works. When Light has done it's heal/damage it checks if the minion is at full health. That happens before the minion dies so it spawns a lightwarden. It's the same way that for instance knife jugglers can kill stuff while being at zero health.
I end games far more with Frothing Berserker then Grim Patron
The spell has a very simple check. Did Light heal it's target to full? No? Summon a Lightwarden. Was your dead minion healed to full? No. Lightwarden.
Based on their simple-design philosophy, I'd say the probability of them changing the charge to attack other minions only is approximately 1%. MAYBE if they changed *all* charge cards to behave this way (which might be a good change!), but even then, it doesn't read well. We both know that that the average hearthstone player will think their game is bugged when they can't attack the enemy hero with a minion, especially since no other minion works this way - ever.
That's what I meant, change to charge the effect/mechanic, not just Warsong. But yeah its too clunky they won't do it. In a way its no more confusing for newbs to figure out than taunt is though.
They could do so many different modes, but its Blizzard. They will add something once every two years or longer until no one wants to play anymore.
Well lorewise it makes sense that it summons more patrons. The thing is, if that card is nerfed it will probably kill it completely. Only warrior really synergizes greatly with patron at all and without the charge element control warrior will be a strictly better archetype for the class. Only other time I see it is in arena with mages pinging it, which is annoying but not game breaking and not worth running over other cards/combos for constructed mages.
Blizzard has never accepted HS is about combos decks, they have repeatly nerfed the shit out of them. Its just doesn't happen quickly because they move at "blizzard speed" with everything.
Emp in certain decks (druid, handlock, oil) can almost single handedly win you games even just from one turn on the board. Not even just from the mana reductions but also the hoops people will desperately jump through to get rid of it. Its like Sylvanas on steroids.
Yeah the Nat Pagle treatment isn't a bad idea, but unfortunately I think that would still be enough to cut him from damn near every deck except maybe handlock and combo druid. He'd definitely be gone from freeze mage.
