What impact should patch 22.6 have on the HS Battlegrounds meta?
This patch 22.6 should have a lot of impact on the meta on Battlegrounds, in particular by the return of armor. Some heroes should climb back up the slope and do better in most situations, without making them too strong. The murloc composition may return, while everyone tries their hand at the new minions.
