Blizzard has shared the release notes for tomorrow's Diablo 4 patch 1.1.3, which will go live at 10 A.M. PDT.
Although not a major update, tomorrow's patch for Season of the Malignant will have numerous fixes, including UI fixes, gameplay fixes, various bug fixes, and miscellaneous fixes that should improve item affix consistency. The most apparent change with patch 1.1.3, however, are major changes to monster crowd control sources, which should allow players to have more recovery time after being CCed. "These changes are aimed at the player having less time being Crowd Controlled and receiving more recovery time after being Crowd Controlled, especially at higher World Tiers", the development team mentions in the release notes for patch 1.1.3.
We've included a part of the official release notes for tomorrow's update regarding the CC changes below:
