Well season 4 has already started Monitor 2 where a new character was welcomed, Lifeweaver, who is a new supporting character. A character who, after testing him, I think is more offensive-tactical than healing, since he doesn’t heal as much as other characters. What do you think of him? Well, Lifeweaver isn’t the only new thing this season, and that’s why there are some patch notes.
These ratings are really interesting, not only because of the changes the characters are going through, but also because of the adjustments to other features the company has shared. So I no longer find myself and I leave everything below:

Other Important Changes
There are other very interesting changes where I highlight removal of map rotation. In other words, all cards in the game can now be played without exception. They also made adjustments respawn and where you respawn, because they want to prevent you from respawning too far from your team in certain situations and to be able to easily group up with them. This and many other changes, in this link to see the official patch notes.
