Patch 18.2, on top of all the new features, introduced a pretty major Battlegrounds bug. The new minion – Micro-Mummy – seems to crash the game when it gets tripled. You can’t reconnect until the match is over, so if it happens early, it usually means that you will end up 8th.
Blizzard is aware of the issue and are working on a fix right now. For now we would advise against trying to triple it, and we hope that the bug gets fixed quickly.
Just a heads up, we’re aware of an issue where trying to triple Micro Mummy in BGs is causing problems. Fix should be in ASAP, but to be safe just don’t triple it right now if you’re able.
Also seeing reports of Jandice putting tokens into the minion pool. We’re looking at that.

Update #1
Micro-Mummy got temporarily removed from BG. It will be added back when the bug is fixed.
Micro Mummy will be temporarily removed from the minion pool and we’ll add it back when we get the fix for Golden Mummy into BGs.
Essentially we fixed a bug with Golden Mummy that didn’t make it into the build, and it caused problems. Happens. Thanks for being patient y’all. ????

Update #2
A patch went through, hopefully fixing the issue.
There is a small 160mb download associated with this update! You may see the download as 1.6gb, but that’s just a file verification. To further clarify, we’ve patched in the fix for Micro Mummy with this update, but the minion will not be re-enabled until tomorrow.

Update #3
Micro Mummy was once again disabled due to mobile issues…
Unfortunately, the patch for golden Micro Mummy did not fix the not-so-micro issues it’s been causing on all devices, so we’ve disabled the minion again. It’s clearly cursed, so it might take some time to un-curse. We’ll keep you updated as we find out more.
