Blizzard just posted patch notes for the 29.4.1 update. It’s a server-side hotfix (which means that you don’t need to download anything) rolling out right now.
The patch contains a lot of Battlegrounds Armor updates – over 30 Heroes now have less or more Armor than before the patch (Solos and Duos got some separate changes). Additionally, Jandice Barov has been removed from the Hero pool of Naga and Elemental matches.
On top of the Battlegrounds changes, the patch contains a lot of bug fixes. For example, Sock Puppet Slitherspear now properly gains Armor from weapons and The Replicator-inator finally works with cards that change minion’s attack (such as The Crystal Cove).
Check out the full patch notes below:
