Blizzard just posted patch notes for 28.0.1, a hotfix update that’s releasing today. The patch is server-side so you don’t need to download anything. Just keep in mind that the patch rollout doesn’t happen on every server simultaneously, so you might see it a bit later than other players.
The patch comes with Battlegrounds & Arena Updates as well as some bug fixes. For Battlegrounds, they’re changing which Heroes appear for which Anomaly. For Arena, some of the cards were banned from deck drafting (either because they’re too powerful or their effects are useless in the current format). We also have a few bug fixes tackling issues introduced by Patch 28.0.
Check out full patch notes below:
