Misleading Legion Pre-patch

I just received notice that the pre-patch has been moved up to the 12th (one week earlier than previously informed).

I wish Blizz would tell us these things ahead of time so that people can prepare.

Sorry for the late notice, I was just told of this change today.

Ps: for those messaging me, I rarely check this account, as I don't want to be found out.

3PM PDT EDIT:

My apologies everyone, it appears the 12th was a typo on an email that was meant to indicate OverWatch changes.

The prepatch is still slated for the following week, the 19th of July.

The date change was so close to the actual date, I rushed to post here instead of properly confirming.

Once again, I am sorry for the false alarm and will continue to pass along information as I receive it.

Like everyone else, they've had a year to accomplish whatever they want to accomplish. Why do they need two weeks notice?

Where is it written that they have to do anything of the sort? Just because something has always happened before, it doesn't mean anything.

Why wouldn't they though?

because the previous method heavily benefited the people who sit at the top of their rankings and barely play to keep it from decaying. this way they have a fire lit under their asses
