Blizzard just posted patch notes for 28.6.3, which is a server-side update releasing today.
It’s a mid-sized hotfix, mostly focused on Battlegrounds, with Armor changes to nearly 20 Heroes, as well as a bunch of Quest and Quest Reward adjustments.
The patch also offers a small Arena with nerfed offering rates to some of the Shaman cards (currently the best Arena class by far) and some offering boosts to strong cards from the lower win rate classes. Although I have to admit that the cards they picked to adjust seem a bit unusual.
And finally, the in-game shop will now support a few more currencies (patch notes didn’t say which ones).
Keep in mind that server-side rollout doesn’t happen simultaneously on all servers, but all players should get the patch within the next few hours.
Check out full patch notes below:
