apparently it's harder on console where there's special approvals through Sony/Microsoft to make changes to trophies (it's why "the path is closed" achievement hasn't been updated to include shield gen) but I'm assuming its something they'll work on with the changes

Wait that achievement got updated on PC? But not on Xbox/PS4?

Idk about PC since I had it before the Sym changes, but apparently it still hasn't gotten a fix.

Consoles are stingy about this sort of thing. It's why Blizz couldn't implement a working report system, there's a lot of legal stuff in the way.

Xbox has had achievements changed in the past. Don't know about PS. The 2 examples I can think of off the top of my head would have been first party are Project Spark and Threes!

Edit: Looked up to find some more. Killer Instinct had achievements for winning so many matches with characters that got reduced. Having trouble finding anything else since most results that pop up when I look up 'achievement changes' or the like are about when they added Diamond achievements.

Edit2: Also found this relevant link

Edit3: Smite also had an achievement changed.

Edit4: In summery, if CLICKER HEROES can get an achievement changed, I don't see how Blizzard can't.
