TheWoWDBNot sure if this change is intended, but - in 7.1.5, during my first time doing this WQ since the patch, there were no bola launchers present at all. There were mobs to kill on the ground, though,
and each kill granted 30% progress, so I only had to kill 4 mobs.EDIT: Not sure when this other change was made, probably when 7.2 launched - still no launchers, but mobs now only grant 15% on kill. So it takes a bit longer.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. My guess is Blizzard removed the Bola launchers because they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn at three paces. Not that I'm complaining, of course.
