With what frequency do balance changes happen in the game? Do any of you know the answer to that question? Is it every month, every week, every time the game updates?

I’ve been gaming for over 10 years and the frequency of balance changes really depends on which game you’re talking about. Most competitive online games like League of Legends or Dota 2 get balance patches every 2-4 weeks, sometimes more often if there’s something completely broken that needs an emergency hotfix. Games like Overwatch used to do balance changes every month or so but now it’s more irregular. Mobile games tend to update more frequently, sometimes weekly, especially gacha games that need to keep the meta fresh to sell new characters. MMOs like World of Warcraft usually do major balance overhauls with content patches every 3-6 months plus smaller tweaks in between. The thing is developers have gotten much better at collecting data and can see immediately if something is overpowered so they react faster than they used to. Which specific game are you asking about? Because the answer varies wildly – some indie games never get balance updates while competitive esports titles get them constantly. Generally though if it’s a live service game with PvP elements you can expect some kind of balance adjustment at least once a month, more if the developers are actively supporting it.
