One of the cool things of Old WoW did: Real Patch Notes

Anyone else feel this way? I actually enjoyed looking forward to new patches and reading how the team would nerf or buff certain abilities, classes, specs with actual changes and new things being added.

Riot Games emulated this to their advantage in League of Legends, and now their patch notes become an event, monthly moments where people make YouTube videos about new viable starts, theorycraft, and have fun convos about.

For some reason WoW moved away from that and in retail patch notes instead of interesting changes they just do “Hunters gain +5% damage” instead of what they used to do like “We’re giving Aimed Shot 5 yards of additional range and it will cost 20% less mana” or things like that.

One thing I’m wondering/hoping is if SoD will bring back that kind of thing more consistently. It would be fun to have the meta change and be fluid, and I think these new “phases” will do just that. thanks Classic Blizz team I am so hyped for this game! <3
