Step 1) Patch notes revealed.

This is usually silent with one or two threads about things that immidiately jump out. Pretty tame

Step 2) The Shitstorm.

Here's comes the outcry from one side or another about a totally henious, disgusting, awful change to one side, buff or nerf. These are usually complete with a "What are you doing BHVR?!" or some form of insult towards the company. These threads will naturally all be posted to General Discussions

Step 3) The Movement.

Here is where the mods move the threads to the correct subform. This is important for the next step.

Step 4) The Censorship

Now there's about 3 threads talking about how BHVR refuses to allow anyone to have an opinion that criticises them, despite threads having been moved. I suppose having eyeballs is a step too far but anyway.

Step 5) The Response.

Here is where forum goes and mods alike respond to these claims of censorship using such things as "links", "Screenshots", and "basic reading comprehension".

Congratulations! You now know all 5 steps to accurately predict and even recreate your own PTB reveal!
