Patch 2.4.2 PTR Update – Minor Adjustments & Energy Twister Fixes
by JR Cook - 8 years ago show comments
Earlier today, a small update to Patch 2.4.2 on the Public Test Realm (PTR) went live. With the few changes listed, it’s clear that things are wrapping up. Especially since we already know the end of Season 6 and start of Season 7 dates, we can guesstimate that Patch 2.4.2 will likely arrive on August 2nd, 2016. Below, you’ll find the latest adjustments. Pay special attention to the Energy Twister change; this just may be the final adjustment/fix that ends the reign of the Twister Wizard meta.
