I honestly thought the lead-up to Diablo 4's first season would be a more exciting, anticipation-filled period. Season of the Malignant is a new type of season for Diablo, one that looks like it takes after modern live service games.
It has its own battle pass, adds new content for all players, and builds upon the game's narrative. While Blizzard already caught some flak for retaining legacy mechanics, such as the need to create a new character to experience the new seasonal content, there was generally a lot of buzz around Season 1.
Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to last. Blizzard just released patch 1.1, Diablo 4's biggest patch so far. What many felt would address their grievances since launch, ended up causing a massive backlash instead. The patch has been fairly heavy-handed in its attempts to slow down player progression, nerfing all classes, devaluing some crutch stats, flattening various XP/grind curves and, somehow, making Sorcerers' life worse.
