Day 1 defense should be whatever class they last used before 4.2.5 was released. When I updated my account everyone team I had automatically assigned the last class I used.
The same should be true if someone doesn’t update.
Otherwise, yeah… The devs really f’d up.
I figured out that the patch was coming at least 12 hours before it did. Which means the devs had to know as well. Their policy of keeping it top secret until it’s pushed out has proven it’s self to be unwise yet again.
Last night there was supposed to be a “preview stream”.
When the stream got cancelled and next week wasn’t a preview either. It was clear to me the patch was coming.
