Diablo IV received a new patch update on the 20th of July 2023 and it has received to a great amount of criticism from fans who aren’t happy with the alterations to the different classes.
The Diablo IV patch update sees new character builds becoming weaker than they were previously. Classes like Druid and Sorcerer who could rack up to thousands of damage simply can’t pull those moves of anymore, no matter what way you customize them. With that being said every class has had certain abilities that were nerfed.
This is a problem when a large appeal to much of the fanbase for Diablo IV was building characters and exploiting the game to make them more broken and overpowered.
As you can imagine fans have taken to social media the voice their complaints about the new Diablo IV patch, many of them saying that Blizzard had removed the fun from the game through an assortment of comments and memes.
