Ladder Reset February 23rd 2017, Patch 5.0 Info

[Drlukifer]

Hey guys! Just a quick update so everyone is up to speed. We originally planned to reset the ladder and launch Annihilus 5.0 on March 3rd 2017, but unfortunately the Nintendo Switch was recently announced to be released that day. A lot of players have expressed concern because they want to play the start of the reset but also want to play the Switch on launch, so we have moved the date forward to February 23rd.

The 5.0 patch will be launching with the reset, and is potentially one of our biggest updates yet. This list isn't 100% confirmed but here are some things we're planning to have.

- Reworked Crucible
- Increased Level Cap
- New Bosses
- New Vanilla Items
- Harder Boss Fights
- Reworked Barbarian skills

There will definitely be some more, but those are some of the standout things coming. I hope you all are looking forward to it!

Let's make barb great again! Super pumped. +1 Alex for all the time and energy going into our simplest of pleasures.

i think end-game barbs look pretty solid but their start and mid game is totally dependant on others. they may need a kickstart summon skill with shield throw
