A line counts as a buff or a nerf only when Blizzard gives the old and new number, or a plain direction for cost, cooldown, damage, healing or duration. A line about an effect laid on someone else (a slow, a healing reduction, damage taken) counts as a change. Fixes and reworks never count. Score: buffs minus nerfs.
