It's more about how it's worded. Before the class patch notes were rather subtle but now it felt more like barely concealed references. And they reference real life in the form that you are a player too much compared to how we before when we instead were referenced as our respective classes. Like the talks of mains and alts, or mentioning Paladin neighbors wanting to complain on Facebook.
Personally I would prefer more in universe jokes and less references to current popular media as I felt it was a bit much this time. From the top of my head Tinder, Elden Ring, Encanto(Bruno), Turning Red. It was a bit on the nose a couple of times. They didn't even continue the old classic of giving Mages a new shiny new mage shield icon, but for all I know that could have been made by one of the bad developers, who knows.
But like I said I still enjoyed a lot of them.
