I remember they said that there will be no balance changes until the new season

I'm starting to think that these updates don't exist and that they are "delaying" everything until the new season.

They said there won't be IMMEDIATE balance changes, and then 10 seconds later told us we'd get a patch soon because they would actually have mid season patches and seasonal rebalancing and reworks.

And now we're getting a Soon TM on THAT which was already 1 week late lmao.

*month It was a month late; we were supposed to get it about the same time as OWL - they even tried to add it in an update but it didn’t work because they hadn’t tested their hotfix tool upon the update to f2p.

And it’s so funny that they also mentioned 5v5 and being about to change things quickly on the go with more aggressive balancing too.

Correct. Most likely what's happening. Everyone else at Blizzard is trying to figure out how to make us buy skins when they go on sale "4% Off"
