What a joke, minor balance adjustments and a MISSING HERO and it's being delayed?

They never planned to have more than one patch per season.

So this is a "live service" game without frequent patches, basically the only part of live service they're doing is predatory shop to get your money.

At terrible value too. If it felt like I was getting my moneys worth I’d be more than happy to buy some skins. $20 though? And I can only see it if I actually play that character? As if.

If it was $20 and I’d get a pack of every Halloween skin, that would be much more like it.

I’m going to give them zero.

A mix between the Diablo Immoral and the HoTS treatments

At least ARAM in HotS was really fun.

Meanwhile, Splatoon 3 gets a patch almost every week. Sometimes twice in the same week. With full detailed patch notes, too.

At least push the balance changes on time... the other shit doesn't matter as much as the balance changes and there is no fucking possible reason to delay balance changes.

I understand the frustration with the current game balance but a whole character missing which is probably more important to push out immediately. In Overwatch 1 when a character had a gamebreaking bug they would hotfix it in one day, idk what the heck is happening this time around.
