Some of the issues that we reported on previously are getting addressed with a rather minor Hearthstone hotfix patch. Besides that, we can expect the usual round of Battlegrounds adjustments - as it seems to be the case with pretty much every small patch we've seen since the introduction of the Quest System.

Heads up! A hotfix patch is launching today that will address several Battlegrounds balance updates and bug fixes.

A server-side hotfix patch, so no downloads will be necessary. But there will also be no way to know for certain when it's actually live in your region. Many of such lightweight changes are not exactly easy to outright confirm within the game. 

Hearthstone Hotfix Patch 24.6.1

No more deadly minions and cosmetics crashing everyone's games. Or so we can hope. And yes, there is this mention of Battlegrounds Buddies again, as connected to the one secret Quest Reward we talked about before.
