Calm down. It’s a beta launch. They just want people to run it so they can get data. The leaderboards are totally irrelevant at this time, except to make sure they interact properly with the tower.
Thanks for fixing the thing with Paladins becoming stuck while climbing.

I suspect SSF will be ready when the expansion launches.

Been watching streamers cover these patch notes over the past hour.
Chatters in these streams of ppl like Rob, Wudijo, others: WHERE ARE THE NON-PALADIN CLASS BUFFS?
Streamers: “Not sure. I don’t see any”
Blizz: Pally is the only class in the game in our opinion

honestly, i would have hoped for some balance buffs/nerfs. At least that what they said theyd do a couple seasons ago.

lemme know when it starts so I can count how many seconds until the posts about how X class needs to be nerfed because it performs too well on the leaderboards.
This is very bad for the game, it’s the same thing that happens when a game has PvP. So many fun classes and builds get ruined because the epeeners cry about them.

No nerf for castle? yeehaw 1600% node
Assuming the class buffs for midseason are not all listed yet. Only seeing Spiritborn and nothing for anyone else when they are tied at 2nd place with Barb for the highest pit clear this season…
Well… I wasn’t expecting a patch without balance. Good.
I like it when the priorities are content and bugs.
u can keep waiting but the patch notes are fully complete already and there will never be any more changes added to this patch. only class in the game = paladin 
we love Pally, how about we delete barb rogue druid sorc necro and sborn cuz only pally matters ^^ WE LOVE PALLY SO MUYCH ITS STRONG AND FUN AND ASWESOME!!!
