See this as a building being built. Patch 1.18 is the foundation and basement... the following patches will be the floors and everything else. Of course now it feels incomplete and that is because it is. But it will be much better by this the end of the summer.
I don't think SE over-hyped the patch at all. If anything they've been very open in saying "hey, this patch is going to change and improve some things, but there are still going to be rough spots. Please bear with us while we sort them out over the next patches coming up".

That's not hyping at all.

They've discussed changes that they know players have been asking for in a very positive light... because hey... they're changes that people have been asking for. Something to be excited about for those waiting on such things to happen. But again, that's not "hyping".

Now... some *players* hyping up this patch as a "miracle patch".... That's an entirely different story.
