Heroes of the Storm has just been updated with Hero balance changes! Read on for details.
**Hanzo has slowly become a less reliable choice for most players, so we're increasing his health and adding some quality of life changes.
General Base Stats
Natural Agility [D]
The Dragon Hungers [Q]
Sharpened Arrowheads [Passive]
Dragonstrike [R1]
**Many of Qhira's Revolving Swing talents have never really captured the attention of Qhira players, as they often leave Qhira spinning out. We're giving these buffs a whirl to see how they play out.
Fatal Wounds [W]
Ensnaring Swing [E]
Pulsing Pain [E]
Lingering Ailment [E]
Swing Life Away [E]
Utility Belt [E]
**Valla’s damage is nearing close to where we’d like it to be – but her safety while doing so is a bit high.
Arsenal [W]
Hot Pursuit [Trait]
Gloom [Active]
Death Siphon [R1]
**Being the King brings many duties, and being the Skeleton King is no different. Leoric players are often expected to fill a wave clearing role that is dependent on the current Kneel, Peasants! to succeed. We're bringing much of its benefit baseline, and trying something a little weird with Kneel, Peasants! Let us know if you consider it treasonous.
Skeletal Swing [Q]
Wrath of the Bone King [Trait]
Kneel, Peasants! [Q]
**Lunara has been doing some weeding, and now some of her lesser picked talents have begun to bloom.
Hippity Hop [Z]
Choking Pollen [Q]
Wild Vigor [W]
Thornwood Vine [R1]
Abolish Magic [Active]
**In contrast to our usual ethos, Zagara is seeing her talents pay the price for an increase in power in her base ability. While the immediate effect is Zagara has less impactful Baneling talents, we feel that Baneling Barrage is a more interesting ability than from where we started, and we have more room for future changes.
General Base Stats
Baneling Barrage [Q]
Volatile Acid [Q]
Baneling Massacre [Q]
Pack Instinct [W]
**Deckard's healing related talents have been underperforming lately, so we're hitting their numbers as well as cutting down some of the travel time on his potions. Scroll of Identify is also getting a blast of ~*spice*~, because why not.
Healing Potion [Q]
Horadric Cube [W]
Scroll of Identify [E]
Potion of Shielding [Q]
Rejuvenation Potion [Q]
Lorenado [R2]
Super Healing Potion [Q]
Potion of Revival [Q]
Ancient Blessings [Trait]
**It's been a hot minute since we touched the Naz man. We like that he's a late-game PvE powerhouse, but we feel there's room for him to have more PvP impact early on. We're adjusting both his Spider and Toad builds to have more of a unique identity and to make them a little more consistent. We're also dumping a pile of jungle spices on his 20s to make them more competitive with the ever-popular Vile Infection.
Corpse Spiders [Q]
Widowmakers [Q]
Pandemic [E]
Blood Ritual [Trait]
Spirit of Arachyr [Q]
Guardian Toads [E]
Superstition [Passive]
Spider Colony [Q]
Humongoid [R1]
Annihilating Spirit [R2]
Fury of the Storm [Passive]
(New) Bad Medicine [Active]
**We’re overall happy with Stitches’ position, but his stickiness is overshadowing why players pick other Tanks.
General Base Stats
Shambling Horror [D]
Tenderizer [Passive]
Pulverize [W]
**When we shuffle a Hero's talents, we often reduce their base power so we can make their talents more exciting. In Lt. Morales' case, we've found we don't have to pay as high a price as we expected.
General Base Stats
Healing Beam [Q]
Safeguard [W]
Trauma Trigger [Passive]
Vanadium Plating [W]
