Hearthstone 24.4.1 Patch Notes – Battlegrounds Balance Changes, Bug Fixes

A small, server-side hotfix is releasing today. It’s not live yet at the time I’m writing this, but should be soon.

The patch mostly focuses on Battlegrounds game mode – it changed Armor values of multiple Heroes to balance them better, and updated certain Quest & Quest rewards.

On top of that, it fixed some bugs, most notably Theotar, the Mad Duke – the card was really buggy ever since 24.4 release, but I believe it should be working correctly now.

Check out full patch notes below:

Patch 24.4.1 is a server-side hotfix scheduled for this afternoon that includes the following game updates and bug fixes:

Battlegrounds Changes

Bug Fixes and Game Improvements
