Legendary cards aren’t actually meant to be overpowered, they’re meant to just have more interesting/specific effects. Like a Black Knight is a 4/5 for 6, but has the ability to destroy a minion that has taunt.
Just based on its stats this makes Black Knight a more expensive Chillwind Yeti, but the extra situational effect makes up for the increased cost.
Leeroy is a 6/2 for 4 mana, but summons 2x 1/1 whelps for your opponent. This means it’s designed to be 6 damage for 4 mana, which is on par with a fireball. An Arcane Golem, on the other hand, is a 4/2 for 3 mana with a slight downside which in some situations is better, and in some situations is worse. Leeroy just happens to be much more useful in decks that can exploit its unique properties - like Miracle Rogue.
I’d say 6 health is a bit much, and is probably the only thing stopping this card from being decently balanced. Making it a 7/4 would at least put it in range of AoE for it’s cost. As it stands, a Power Overwhelming combo on this thing would destroy games.
Ok it summons a Lil’ Woona.
I’m statisfied. =D =P

Translation: It’s supposed to be OP.
In the same way that Leeroy invalidates every other Charge card, right?
come on, it’s a legendary. It’s supposed to put other, normal cards to shame.
Imagine dropping this turn 4 with a coin.
