Blizzard just posted patch notes for a medium-sized hotfix releasing today. It’s a server-side update, so you don’t need to download anything. It’s going to roll out in waves over the next few hours.
The patch comes with a bunch of Battlegrounds updates – a few changes to Hero pools, as well as a ton of small Armor adjustments.
Additionally, it fixes some bugs, including ones introduced in the recently released Patch 30.0.
