We're just few short minutes from this week's Overwatch League kickoff, featuring my favorite underdogs the Shanghai Dragons. Will they finally eke out a win? Considering they're matching off against the Boston Uprising, which has been performing very well, my bet is on "no." But I'm going to tune in anyway, because that's just what you do for your favorite team.
But instead of talking about what will happen (or what might happen), let's talk about what has happened. Here's the day's news.
Mythic Antorus gets a nerf in the latest WoW hotfixes
- It's hotfix day, which means it's... well, it's just about any day ending in y. Mythic Antorus takes a hit today, with both Stage 3 Aggramar and all-Stage Argus having their health reduced. (Is all-Stage even a word people use? Well, it is now.) Check out all the details, plus a handful of other hotfixes.
Hearthstone's Shudderwock will soon be fixed
- While there's no ETA, the havoc-wrecking Shudderwock will have its animation speed doubled and a maximum of 20 Battlecries so putting it on the board won't result in either player dying of boredom while waiting for it to replicate every last Battlecry. The fix will be coming with a future Hearthstone patch... maybe with tomorrow's Monster Hunt roll-out?
Great, now I'm hungry
- As Overwatch League marches on, teams are learning that success isn't all about game training: it's about players' overall health. And part of that is the rise of the team chef, like Heidi with the Philadelphia Fusion, who maintains a mouth-watering Twitter feed.
We're getting closer to Battle for Azeroth
- Even though there are months to go, things are shaping up on the beta. Updated introductory scenarios and quests give us a better look at just what's happening in the Alliance and Horde... plus more details about Teldrassil.
- And for better or worse, the expansion's class changes are nearly finalized. Still, nothing's set in stone, so if you aren't happy with how your class has turned out, keep posting your constructive criticism to the beta forums.
Are Overwatch's loot boxes gambling?
And that's all for today, my pretties. I'm sure I'll see you all virtually cheering on the Dragons in just a little bit. (I will, right? Right?) But as to the news, that's it until tomorrow. Or until Blizzard releases a middle of the night beta update. It could go either way.
For now, this is Liz, signing out.
