That’s most likely the case.
Since they have no clue on how to properly fix bug they tried with clues… But since they have no clue failed and the bug is still there, just less likely to happen.
Can confirm. I fought a most irritating jace 2 deck whose entire strategy seemed to be to get me to throw my phone at wall in frustration by mass casting supports and clues.
Of course they did not take the time to make it work only on casted supports(card) so they slowed down all supports including clues.
It’s this kind of stuff that make me believe the game won’t never get better. It will grow bigger, not better.
All changes are made as patches without working toward future development.
They look at future only when adding new stuff.
Fixing, enhancing or balancing old stuff looks like a sub sub sub priority to them most of the time.
