Are you guessing or do you know? If you have a source I'd love to see. I kinda figured it would be after SWC, so hopefully that means next Tuesday. This puts XBox I think 6 weeks behind PC, so I hope we'll see patch 2.20 sooner than later, too.
Every Hi-Rez patch is on a Tuesday. There's a pantern. If the last update (2.20) for the PC was 5 weeks ago, that means next Tuesday NEEDS to have the patch.
Hi-Rez can't have all the platforms on the same patch for some reason. They say it's better for LANs / SWC, so all teams are familiar with the same patch.

(I'm pretty sure that's what the HR staff said.)
Well...having PC and XBox One on a different patch schedule completely flies in the face of that, no? I can see why they wouldn't want to release a patch right before the SWC, you don't want a huge Ravana buff (as an example) coming out right before the game/company's biggest week of the year. So that makes sense. Why they can't be on the same schedule though is a mystery to me. I'm not saying "this is stupid, there's no reason for it!" In fact I'm sure there's a perfectly valid reason...I just don't know what it is or could be.
there are more games that put consoles behind. probably has somethign to do with the port a bit to.
Also xbox isn't really x weeks behind more x amount of patches. would a patch be delayed on pc, they will probably delay xbox too but they don't need to (and I believe it was a month behind last time I looked at it)
It's primarily because microsoft has to approve patches before they're dropped, but also because HiRez can more easily take care of issues with the patch on the PC client than on XBox where everything kind of needs to work off the bat since patching is so much harder to get through microsoft.
