Last Week on Blizzard Watch: A little bit of everything

This last week was light on the World of Warcraft news as the devs withheld on further changes to prepare for today’s release of patch 6.2.2. Instead, we were grappling with Hearthstone‘s new expansion pack, Heroes of the Storm‘s new map, plus the release of patch 2.3 and Season 4 for Diablo 3. Good thing we had Archimonde coming to the LFR and the delightful dogs of Blizzard employees!
