24.6.2 Patch Notes - Battlegrounds & Arena Changes, Bug Fixes

Blizzard just published Patch Notes 24.6.2 featuring Battlegrounds & Arena changes and some bug fixes. This is a data-only patch (no update needed).

Hey folks -- there is a big problem with Discover and random generation in Arena right now. I would encourage you not to play Arena mode until we have a fix.

Really sorry about this. @hsdecktech and I will update as we get more info.

Arena is disabled. We're continuing to work on this.
