Patch 30.2.3 is a server-side patch launching today with the following updates:
Battlegrounds Updates
Hero Pool Changes
-
Jandice Barov is no longer banned in Naga lobbies (but she’s still banned in Elemental lobbies).
-
Mr. Bigglesworth is now banned in Duos.
Armor Changes
The following heroes have had their Armor reduced to these new totals:
-
N’Zoth - High Rank: 10, Lower Rank: 10, Duos: 7
-
The Great Akazamzarak - High Rank: 7, Lower Rank: 7, Duos: 5
The following heroes have had their Armor increased to these new totals:
- Guff Runetotem - High Rank: 18, Lower Rank: 18, Duos: 15
Trinket Pool Changes
Some specific typed Trinkets will no longer be offered as pivot options when you’re not in that type. Additionally, the following Trinkets have been removed from the Trinket Pool:
-
Lesser Feral Talisman
-
Lesser and Greater Kodo Leather Pouch
-
Lesser and Greater Ceremonial Sword
-
Lesser and Greater Valorous Medallion
-
Greater Dalaran Cheese Wheel
-
Demonblood Gourd
-
Horde Keychain
Dev Comment: Greater Dalaran Cheese Wheel has been removed because it was too strong. The other Trinkets listed above have been removed (either entirely or as pivot options) because they had very low pick rates, indicating that they were not enticing to players. We think Trinket selections will be more interesting across the board with these changes.
