Even Heroes of the Storm, recently left to wither as the company moves on to other projects, has enjoyed better support. There’s little hope for new classes, new challenges, or new feature updates. Yet Blizzard seems content with leaving it for dead. It has a loyal following eager for updates. Diablo 3 is part of a popular franchise with over 20 years of history. Path of Exile has staked out territory as Diablo 3’s alternative. That’d require real effort, and Blizzard’s not willing to back Diablo 3 with more than a skeleton crew. It makes a tweak to the meta but isn’t backed by any major patch features. Multiple seasons passed without major changes to the game. Seasons started to see fewer new features and items, while patches became less frequent. It was a prolific time for content in Diablo 3, but as time went on, Blizzard let off the gas. Image used with permission by copyright holder Kanai’s Cube came in August 2015 as part of Patch 2.3, and in January of 2016, Patch 2.4 added Set Dungeons and Empowered Rifts.
New items were added, and the patches that came each season added new areas and features. The seasons that followed were full of promise. It came just months after the Reaper of Souls expansion and packed a list of new legendary items. The first season of Diablo 3 began on August 29, 2014. It’s appreciated, but seasons could (and should) be so much more. The new season, which is flanked by other tweaks to armor set balance, is meant to shake up the stale list of top builds.
The game’s meta has long focused on set-piece bonuses.
