And why is this the only update since I started playing that mobile gets it later?

It typically propagates a few hours later.

Never has before. I've been able to play at launch time every single other time. Because you release the patch before launch time and lock the content till launch time. So everyone is preloaded.

Why didn't you do that this time

Usually that happens for expansion launch, not typically for PvE. We didn't do a pre-patch this time, so the expansion was a part of the patch that shipped today.

No Dragons for Battlegrounds? The new stats screen looks pretty good though.

They are coming, just not yet :)

A Battle ground feature I'd like to see is to be able to keep watching after you lose. You know how in Fortnite it follows the person who killed you, etc? I want the same thing in BGs. I want to see how far that POGO deck went after smashing me!

This is something we like as well! It's something we have noted down.

Any word on the timing of the mobile release?

It's coming soon my friends! It takes time to propagate on the different app stores, that's why there is a discrepancy between PC and Mobile.

I'd love the ability to queue with more than just 1 other friend

Also something we like as well!

Battlegrounds updates sound great. 2 new heroes, 2 new minions, faster animations, no more playing against same dude again and again.

edit: animations looks so goooooooooooood. finally.

edit2: not in patch notes but putricide is also back with +20 attack hero power.

edit3: recruit bug is still in game KEKW

Putricide was not meant to be in this patch, he accidentally snuck in. He will be undergoing a redesign. Stay tuned for more updates on this guy specifically.

Also, we are working on the "Recruit" bug!
