Patch 18.4.2 which was announced this Tuesday has been released on PC. Keep in mind that the mobile release is usually a bit delayed – we expect it to be available within a few hours on mobile devices.
The patch is really big for Battlegrounds players, many of which were (rightfully so) complaining about balance after the last huge Elementals update.
Over 15 heroes / cards got nerfed, buffed or even removed altogether. Check out full patch notes here:
