Mid Season Patch Notes?

Weren’t there supposed to be some patch notes released early for the mid season patch? Pretty sure the dev blog said they’d be coming in a few days. We’re a bit past a few days already.

Hopefully we’ll see them today and not posted after the patch goes live like usual.

Well, it was Thursday that they said a few days. So obviously not Friday, or the weekend. So today if the first day it could be, if not tomorrow. Both are a few days from the time they said it. I hope we see them today too, but if not it’s only a day away.

We’ll see some content creator get their hands on the notes before the site updates.

Usually it is the same day or day before…

Usually it’s the same day, but they mentioned getting them out early this time. Hence the post wondering about them.

Hopefully we’ll see them today.

Usually happens on Tuesday, doesn’t it? Those are usually the patch days. Either that or Thursday.

I don’t think they directly said before launch day. Just said in a few days.

The patch is tomorrow but there’s a chance we see the notes today. I wouldn’t count on it though.

Soon™

The Blizzard has been reduced to Light Flurries TM.

If it still happens today, there is still a little over 30 minutes from the standard Blizzard update time, so yeah.

I was alive during the original Soon . What a time. When that content eventually came out like a year later, even DICE had to laugh at themselves and on one of the tank skins, added “Soon” to the skin as a nod.

yea im on my pc, wouldnt have a clue how to do it on my phone if at work. i still stink with mobile phones and i have fat fingers so a lot of typos, i even do typos a ton with a keyboard

id almost bet they are planning on being on one of the big/known streamers channel to unveil it which means it can be shown much later in the day then we are used too

Well, since they mentioned a few days on Thursday, it’s reasonable to assume that meant within a few days, which have been Saturday. But they’re not working on on Saturday, they may have meant in a few business days, which would make it Monday.

But there’s also the distinct possibility they meant Tuesday by saying a few days. Few usually means within two, but it’s a loose definition. Some people use it to mean within three or four days.

The fun part of communicating without visual and auditory cues!

A couple of days means 2. Few is just a small number. At which point what counts as a small number, 5 still seems pretty small. Either way it’s today or tomorrow, and not a big deal anyways. But I too would like to see the changes :slight_smile:

I have a big feeling this patch is gonna be moderately disapointing because they are gonna want to 'wait and see" if the DPS passive nerf fixes some heroes before changing them

I.E. no Tracer nerfs and no real Mercy/Illari/Lifeweaver buffs

I don’t get this because like they know we like getting things like this early to look forward to and discuss? All they have to do is hit the update button/post something on the forums it’s not like there gonna magically make some last second intested changes 2-3 days before the patch?

I just don’t understand why there so half Aed with the patch note release consistency, some days its early some days its not I prefer we just get them early to start discussion and hype.
