Blizzard Responds to Diablo 4 Season 3 Backlash with Game-Changing Patch

The patch minimizes trap impacts, revamps rewards, and introduces a new enemy, but some players remain unsatisfied.

Diablo 4's Season 3, titled 'Season of the Construct', has faced backlash from players due to its focus on trap mechanics and disappointing loot, leading to a swift patch from Blizzard.
The patch has significantly minimized the impact of traps, making them almost irrelevant except in the final room of a Vault, and revamped the rewards system, making legendary drops more common.
Season 3 also introduced a new enemy, Son of Malphas, that can randomly spawn within vaults and team up with other bosses, providing an unexpected challenge for players.
The Seneschal companion, a small spider-like construct that shares the player’s attributes, has been made more useful in combat, scaling with the player’s power.
Despite these changes, some players feel that Season 3 fails to match the excitement of previous seasons, with some old items from Season 2 still appearing as rewards in Season 3.
