The Follower overhaul is an interesting move on Blizzard’s part, because it would be fair to say that since Seasons launched in 2014 for PC (2017 for consoles), the temporary themes introduced mostly benefitted coordinated group play, and benefits to solo players often felt incidental rather than deliberate. In addition, this has the potential to completely upend how solo players push Greater Rifts each Season.

As we discussed in detail, Followers are receiving major changes to the gear they can use, how you receive Legendary bonuses, and to their passive and active skills.
