Adjusting armor on Battlegrounds

Battlegrounds continue to evolve with the expansion’s intro patch In the heart of the Sunken City.

What impact should patch 22.6 have on the HS Battlegrounds meta?

This patch 22.6.1 should come to balance the meta on Battlegrounds with the armors, but especially to restore a certain coherence with the suppression of the friend of a friend. This is just a small corrective patch that should have little impact on the meta. However, removing Friend of a Friend will hurt Brann, who should feel less powerful.
