Anyone know what the background download for tomorrows patch is supposed to be? are we finally get a roadhog that feels good to play?

…Are you sure that tomorrow is a new patch day? We’ve got Ashe only 1 week ago and I’m 100% sure that they will not let PTR patch come live without her.

The next major patch will require a full reinstall

Edit: The patch mentioned here has been deployed (Patch 1.30). See you all in game! ======================= Hey folks, We wanted to get ahead of this early and let you all know what to expect with our next big patch. We don’t currently have a release date/time with this, but will update this thread once we do. The next major patch will have some pretty fundamental changes to the game client. The number of back-end changes we’re putting in is substantial enough that we can’t just patch over t…

It is entirely possible that the balance changes could come out before Ashe. Just because we saw the PTR on the same build doesn’t mean they can’t push out other stuff. They’ve likely got a version just before 1.30.xx with all the changes, that doesn’t have Ashe. They probably just pushed 1.30.xx to the PTR knowing full well Blizzcon was the following week.

Is it likely? Probably not, I feel like we’re getting it all in one go and we’re not going to see the balance changes and Ashe until well after Thanksgiving.

Fine with me, I just want those hog changes.
