There was a post by HirezChris on Twitter that the patch is now scheduled for Thursday morning.
And there will be one on Thursday saying it will be released on Friday and so on until next Tuesday ^-^
I can't wait. Getting pulled when your dashing is such BS...
I don't think Agni was buffed...more like they cleaned him up a little.
Overall, I'm pretty happy about this patch, even if the new god seems as OP as [REDACTED].
I'm sorry, what part of adding the Polynomicon passive to the infuriating Ultimate of one of the most overpowered Gods in this game sounds like CLEANING UP TO YOU?!
AMC looks very interesting, although I am worried about that Ultimate. I am really hoping that it is hard to hit, for what it is capable of doing. I plan on checking him out to see what role/s he fits into. Sunfall and DarkJaw, I suggest that you do the same.
Golden Noodle... That's ****ing great!
The new Ne Zha passive is going to change how he plays considerably. I think that his old passive didn't work too well with his game play, simply because the last thing I would expect from an Assassin's death is an AoE heal. No, 25 HP5 really is a good change, and it works well with Flaming Spear.
Assault map is awesome, no doubt there.
The changes to Sun Wukong are really necessary, simply because his protections were one of the biggest problems he had with balancing. I'm not sure that they'll be enough, especially since I find the decoy to be easy to spot as it is, but it's a start.
I like that Grasping Hands and Lightning Storm can be placed more easily now. It will give some advantage to very squishy Gods in a fight.
NEITH NERF. HAH, TAKE THAT YOU *****! *ahem* Sorry... not that her Ult was aimed at broken weaves anyway, but I like that she was deprived of it. She deserves it.
That's about it. I do like this patch, although they really could put more effort into God balancing.
Cleaning up, as in it should have been implemented earlier. Agni's problems are not related to Polynomicon working on him. They did the right thing by making it trigger Polynomicon's effect, because that is what the effect says it should do.
If Titan's Bane didn't work on Artemis' boar, and they fixed it this patch, then it's not a buff. It's cleaning up.

The probleme jararo has is more that it while being something that should have worked from the beginning still indirectly buffs a god that does not need any buffs but nerfs.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.

Not being able to aim at weaves with her ult is a buff. There was a topic recently that asked if you ever aimed at one, and one poster came up with a backflip > straight shot in assault as about the only practical use. I have however hit those things on accident when trying to shoot across the map many times. This makes it easier for her to be a global presence, but it's a tiny change.
I think Neith is annoying more than needing a nerf anyway, but it's whatever. I'm more afraid of the day where she's underpowered and unused because of the creep. It's coming...
Fully agreed with the balancing thing. I thought this was supposed to be a balancing patch (though I forget where I heard/read that.) No attention paid to underpowered gods at all though, and just insignificant nerfs on one or two of the OP gods :(
I'm a little annoyed that they haven't nerfed/changed Neith and Poseidon. Poseidon's Whirlpool is just too good (Cripple, slows you to snails pace, and sucks you up with force of Hades's Pillar of Agony) and Neith...well better people have already said why she needs some changes (other than the Weave nerf. Seriously did anyone ever aim for the weaves?)
