What impacts on Battlegrounds with patch 24.0?
Battlegrounds patch 24.0 doesn’t have much of an impact on the meta. The release of the new hero, however, may see it impose itself for some time, before the counters are established. However, its power is not significant enough to see it impose itself on all parties. The Lich King, Sneed and Edwin are likely to regain some ground, however.
