patch is here, adding a new map to Ranked, giving multiple characters a nice little rebalance, making some quality-of-life changes. However, the wackiest thing to many onlookers is the fact the game's still being looked after at all.

, is the reveal that Haunted Mines is now part of Ranked play. A good one for anyone who enjoys all things spooky; the Grave Keeper is the announcer, which is always fun.

Lucio gets a new skin, called Ruby Chromestesia, and the music for the homescreen and startup has been updated. Then there's a slew of nerfs and buffs across the MOBA's roster.

What they're referring to, I imagine, is Blizzard deciding to stop making new additions to the MOBA back in 2022. However, support was always going to continue, and monthly updates have been happening ever since.
