However I also think in general buffs are so much better now that getting something to stick is super strong and having 3 attack from turn 2 will no longer guarantee a kill on there turn 3 play since a strong 3 play has 4 health. So basically I think if I can ping I should value 2/3 over 3/2. Is that crazy?
2/3s have gone up in value but I just think it caught up and is now close to the 3/2s they didn't pass them.
I don't think buffs got better i think the opposite is true having more minions on the board got better cuz aoe got rarer. Buffing 1 minions puts you in spots where if your opponents have an answer you lose a lot of tempo and if he doesn't u gain a lot. These kind of plays hurt you in games you are already winning and in games you are losing you will most of the time not be able to get good value out of the buff.
Pinging on turn 3 is not something u want to do I think playing Spider Tank into an abusive sergeant on turn 3 is better than pining it, and i would consider playing a 3/3 in the same spot over pining. So i wouldn't pick minions with the goal of setting up good turn 3 pings.
