We won't be dropping the live 2.4.1 patch mid-season. The PTR patch will most likely be happening while Season 5 is still active, but that of course won't affect any of your Season 5 heroes. So what's going to happen to the non-channeling builds that currently use Taeguk? Will you add new legendary gems in 2.4.1? We're taking a look at some of the other Legendary gems as well to open up as many viable alternatives as we can. More on that soon!
