Blizzard is readying improvements to World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth

Battle for Azeroth has endured a deluge of criticism over rushed mechanics, poorly tested features, and a general lack of polish that betrays the expectations for Blizzard titles. How does the company plan to improve things?
Recently, Blizzard took to Twitch and to Reddit to discuss a wide range of improvement measures it plans to bring to the aging MMO's latest expansion, Battle for Azeroth.
Players have been decrying the implementation of some of the expansions biggest headline features as being overly "grindy," and sometimes, overly dull. Competitive balance has also suffered immensely, with protection warriors, elemental shamans, and others, struggling to compete with other classes. Blizzard also introduced changes to the global cooldown which rendered some combat rotations awfully clunky to play. These are just some of the issues dragging the game down at the moment, but Blizzard is gearing up to improve the situation with the announcement of Patch 8.1.
