  Blizz released so much stuff in the last 2 months, it's really wild:
  
  - WoW Plunderstorm
  - WoW Retail season 4
  - WoW Classic Cataclysm
  - WoW MoP Remix
  - Diablo season 4 (which is huge, btw)
  - Overwatch season 10
  
  I think all those different WoW modes are too much. It dilutes the population, and the devs also don't have the resources to really balance all those modes properly. Season 4 in retail has a really static M+ meta again because some classes are really overpowered, which could be fixed really easily.
