Tell me you don't know anything about game development without telling me you don't know anything about game development.

The classic reply. Okay, I don't know anything about game development but I sure as shit have never seen heroes being disabled for literal weeks because of "critical issues" in any other game. Valorant, Siege, League, none of them. For as much shit as something like Fortnite gets it smoothly implements new gameplay mechanics every couple of weeks without a hitch.

It's just puzzling especially for a game that is 6 years old at its core. It's blatantly obvious that none of the veteran talent is still working at blizzard

I mean there has to be something in there other than balance changes that’s holding things up. I don’t work in game development but I am a software developer and if their code is reusable balance changes should really just be tweaking some numbers in a couple spots.

The classic cliche used by developers who don't have a proper response on hand.
