Could it be that she was always a strong card, but most players overlooked it, and it was me that drew attention to her?
this
happened with karlim00 when he played the game, whatever he played and got #1 got nerfed to the ground next patch
then he found something else that was broken, and so on
Which brings another question, what if I purposefully lost over and over with specific cards at higher ELOs, would these cards get potential buffs?
potentially
-> it should be bad in all 3 queues tho (ruby at least gets played in the 2v2 modes)
--> if you find a card that doesn't really get played in 2v2, and you lose a lot with it in 1v1, can see that being a reason for a buff ||like if you'd play voidmother||
fwiw: don't think ruby is too strong
that's the shame of a small(ish) playerbase, the statistics of a single regular player suddenly matter a lot

I wasn't completely sure why it was in there. Just talking about 1v1, we barely/never see her. And the only thing in 1v1 that makes her worth playing to me, is Volco. Which isnt a Ruby issue and says more about Volco.
Which makes me wonder if this was focused on 2v2? Not a big fan of 2v2 myself so i'm not completely sure what to think. I know for a fact she is played way more in 2v2 ofcourse, but not at the highhigh level.
Considering this, i dont really think your games with Ruby affected this change. However i am curious why it was in there xD

Discussion - Why exactly is Ruby being nerfed?

that's a lot to read lol
btw ruby got nerfed to limit ravager
since its direct nerf, the nerf at some voidborne minions, the nerf at other voidborne minions and the nerf at the elf spell weren't enough and people were playing it with ruby at that point

Lore are we talking about the same here? I feel like you're talking about something different, let me just clarify, or incase im wrong please correct me, we're talking about the proposed nerf ruby gets in the PTR(not ptr but survey)

If you compare it to other units with a cost of 8+, I see Ruby much more than others in 2x2 despite not playing much (I tend to take diamond and stop).
I used Ruby extremely little to say whether it is a card that deserves to be nerfed or not, but I had no problems facing Ruby the times it was used against me and I even believe I came across it against you using the Ruby deck you mentioned a few times and I can say that Caber Tosser is a card that needs more attention than Ruby and it wasn't even mentioned in the ptr

just to supplement, if he cannot find anything broken, he leaves that season

yeah i was just talking about a nerf in the past
quite out of topic i agree 
not only i didn't read the whole text but i misread a bit of it

I think Ruby deserves the nerf. I've seen that card in many battles this and last season and it's always pretty strong. Many people play it, both in lower and higher ranks.

Ah now I see why you used blood imps, rage and gax. I thought you want to farm low level players but you want to force a buff on these cards.
funfact, blood imps and puffs (also in the deck) are considered for a buff.
