They said at Blizzcon that season 4 will end "late December". After that, they'll have a bit of a break in between seasons (not the usual 5 days, but something between 2 and 4 weeks). That means that season 5 is scheduled to start sometime January (probably mid-late January). Patch 2.4 will be released "when it's done", but most likely not this year anymore. Last year the patch after season 1 was ready before Christmas but they didn't want to release it before the holidays and stretched the season for that reason - I suspect that's one of the main reasons for the longer gap between seasons, to buy them some time.
TL;DR: Patch 2.4 will go live some time January. Early December is not just unrealistic but absolutely out of question as they pretty much published their timeframe at Blizzcon. It's 99% gonna be some time in January.

Wait where did they say the break between seasons could be up to a month long?
There was a blue post they plan to have a longer break between seasons this time indicating the break will be at least 2 weeks. Probably this will coincide with Christmas/New Year holiday. Also I'm afraid we won't see patch 2.4 before January coz of that. And the season will start in same week the patch hits.

Damn, I was hoping the patch would be ready for Xmas... oh well.
I'm also hoping, but since in S1 they gave "ancient" patch just before end of season (in January), I guess they won't do 2.4 before Christmas. Main reason they didn't end and patch S1 before last Christmas was that they were afraid if something goes wrong - since most of them are also on Holidays at that time.
Only chance is that if the announce S4 end in the next week (so it ends by the 15th of December) we would have slight chances on 2.4 before Christmas.
If this patch goes live in January it will be a disaster of bugs and imbalance.
Contrary to the bugfree, balanced game right now?
I know, right? It's just that I wouldn't consider the game itself a disaster. But with all the substantial changes/additions in the upcoming patch, a month or two ptr is really a joke. Personally I don't think this development team cares one bit about balance in any aspect of this game and/or they are too inept to actually accomplish it. They'll be lucky to get all the major game breaking mechanics and bugs out by the end of the year.
I got the impression they would end this season, release the new patch and then take a break until the start of season 5, meaning the 2.4 patch would come in december, and season 5 in january, hope i'm not mistaken.

Does anyone know from past PTR testing (or from a blizzard comment) how long until patch 2.4 comes to live servers?
I am honestly hoping it arrives as early as possible, perhaps even early December - but i got no idea is that realistic (probably not...).
What do you fellas think, when is 2.4 arriving to the live servers?

And I'll probably still get this patch before Magic Origins gets released on PS4
