Blizzard just posted patch notes for the 34.6.1 update. It’s a server-side hotfix rolling out today. As usual with those kinds of patches, you don’t have to download anything, but you might not see it immediately (it takes a while to get it out to all players).
It’s a medium sized hotfix with a few bug fixes for different modes and a lots of Battlegrounds balance changes. But as usual, BG balance changes done in a hotfix like that are generally minor, this time mostly focused on Armor changes for Heroes and Timewarp changes. For bigger changes we’ll have to wait until the next major patch (35.0).
You can read the full patch notes below:
