Annunciata la Patch 22.2.2: la Battaglia completamente bilanciata
Senza mezze misure, Blizzard ha appena annunciato la nuova Patch 22.2.2 in uscita già stasera (probabilmente per le 19) che andrà completamente a rivedere moltissimi degli Amici arrivati nella modalità Battaglia, oltre a qualche aggiustamento per Duelli.
L’aggiunta della meccanica degli Amici in Battaglia è stata accolta sicuramente con positività data la sua originalità. Il nuovo contenuto era di un’assurda grandezza in termini di quantità di oggetti aggiunti (gli Amici sono circa 75).
Ovviamente detto ciò i bilanciamenti sarebbero stati fatti nel tempo tenendo sott’occhio il meta; per questo motivo già ci fu la Patch 22.2.1 che cercava di modificare poche carte. Adesso, invece, le cose sono state fatte in grande e la Patch 22.2.2 rivoluziona tutto, ritoccando moltissimi degli Amici in gioco. Chi buffati, chi nerfati quasi tutti sono protagonisti.
Molti hanno subìto un cambiamento di Locanda, rallentando o accelerando il loro ottenimento, mentre alcuni sono stati anche rivisti in termini di effetti (come la Bomba Scoiattolo che è stata ri-nerfata). Ma andiamo a vedere tutti i cambiamenti, anche quelli per Duelli ed alcuni bug fix:
