Awesome patch so far

This has got to be one of the best patches the game has released in a long time. Me and a lot of my friends have come back to the game, and everyone is thoroughly enjoying the current meta. Everything feels viable, healers feel really strong, and teamfights actually exist. Dragonflight has been pretty miserable from an arena/bg perspective and this patch shows me someone at Blizzard actually wants the game to be good again. I’ve been Q’ing up tons of arena, doing bgs, and haven’t left this game with a massive headache since 10.2 dropped.

Healers actually make a difference in a bg now, and that’s the way the game should be. With all the CC introduced into the game, I feel like it actually has a purpose now. Players have gotten used to not needing to land kicks or CC on healers to kill (Q’d into a rank 1 the other night and he just raged on stream about how broken healers were, as my healer juked him multiple times in a row and he lost despite having more damage) but players who can actually land a kick/CC have no problem doing so. Teamfights last longer than 5 seconds. Kicks matter, healers matter, CC matters and damage profiles are still extremely high. The game hasn’t been in this good of a spot in a long time. Nice job Blizzard, I hope tier sets and bad tuning doesn’t mess it up.

You are doing it wrong. People are only supposed to come here and post when they have something negative to say!

I thought healers seemed stronger. I haven’t been top healing or anything (BDK narrowly beat me out once) but I’m not dying like I thought for all my S1 gear glory. Just been doing epics trying to dilute my bad while I get honor, we’ll see how it goes when I have to solo heal mines or something more real.

I agree.

I’m impressed that the solo RBG mode is actually better than what I thought it would be.

You can tell that the team put effort into making sure the game mode wasn’t just slapped together, and was a new take on the BG format.

Been telling them to do this for years but better late than never.
