Diablo IV debuted at the beginning of June and, in general, was liked by most players. It has already proven to be a bestseller, and everything seemed to be going smoothly ahead of the release of the first season of content. Unfortunately, the last update caused green hair for the community.
This week patch 1.1.0 debuted, which introduces a multitude of changes that were intended to improve quality of life. It also added a series of nerfs that affected almost all classes and other elements of the experience, which made many members of the fan feel very uncomfortable.

Diablo IV Update Angers Players; Blizzard responds
Based on player feedback, the Sorcerer was one of the classes that suffered the most from the recent update release. The changes disappointed the community, which has already expressed its displeasure on social media, forums and ratings sites like Metacritic.
As of this writing, the PC version of Diablo IV it has a deplorable rating of 2.4 from users. The Xbox and PlayStation ports suffer a similar fate. If we go through the most recent reviews, we’ll notice that most of the complaints and negative comments revolve around the changes that came with the 1.1.0 patch.
“Their game was fantastic, and I would easily give it a 9. But the developers at Blizzard screwed it up with the first patch. The damage of all classes was decimated. The Sorcerer is now completely useless. Enemies now have more HP and deal more damage across the board, while leveling slowed down. They literally nerfed every class and made the game 3x harder for no reason,” commented one angry fan.
First they nerfed the game into oblivion and people are struggling to get in the game ? this game is a joke and I feel like I wasted $100, they don’t cater to people like myself who work and have kids. Thanks Blizz. Those streamers these changes were based off of are in the…

“These are some of the worst patch notes of all time? They didn’t listen to anything or anyone and nerfed everything,” said a reddit user who reacted to the latest update.
It is clear that the community is very, very angry with the decisions made by the team responsible for the project. Fortunately, these complaints reached the ears of Blizzard. Adam Fletcher, Diablo’s director of global community development, confirmed that they will be holding a special broadcast to address fan feedback.
