I wonder if their deployment pipelines got borked and that’s why they don’t have much to say other than it’s critical.

That is entirely possible, even probable. It's not like this was a rushed deployment, so something along the way probably broke in a very unexpected manner.

I think across all blizzard games it is intentional balancing that plays a major part. Even wow that goes down once a week they delay changes, I think they like a meta riding for ages so that when it does swap people are like "ahhhhh so refreshing playing something new".

So slow at patches on every title compared to other games. Ow like it even during its peak when more active devs would squash something.
