Heroes of the Storm has just been updated with Hero balance changes! Read on for details.
**Similar to Greymane, Nova has generally been in a good spot with her talents, with a few exceptions. We're looking to stabilize some of her talents with changes to Perfect Shot and Advanced Cloaking, so they're dependable in a wider range of situations.
Covert Ops [W]
Advanced Cloaking [Trait]
Rapid Projection [E]
Holo Stability [E]
Perfect Shot [Q]
One in the Chamber [Passive]
Precision Strike [R2]
Precision Barrage [R2]
**Yrel's Heroics have a significant amount of counterplay so we're adding in more guaranteed power by buffing Divine Purpose.
Divine Purpose [D]
Maraad’s Insight [Passive]
Aegis of Light [E]
Divine Favor [D]
Holy Wrath [Passive]
**Genji is a scary hero to buff, so we're proceeding with caution as we add spice to his talents.
Agile Dismount [D]
Pathfinder [D]
Shuriken Mastery [Q]
Cyber Shield [D]
Dodge [Passive]
Steady Blade [E]
Sharpened Stars [Q]
**Diablo is weakened longer than we would like after resurrecting with Black Soulstone, and we want him back wreaking havoc sooner.
Black Soulstone [D]
Devastating Charge [Q]
Hellfire [W]
**E.T.C.'s talents are competing with each other nicely, so we’re just raising the volume.
General Base Stats
Powerslide [Q]
**We were over ambitious with several aspects of our latest Rehgar changes, and we hope reigning in the health and duration of his Earthbind Totem leaves him in a much more balanced state.
General Base Stats
Chain Heal [Q]
Earthbind Totem [E]
Colossal Totem [E]
Purification [D]
Feral Heart [Z]
Grounded Totem [E]
Earthliving Enchant [Q]
Healing Totem [Active]
Pit Fighter [Passive]
**It's not a Heroes' patch if we're not changing Stukov. We view the Lurking Arm talents as an easier talent path than The Long Pitch or Targeted Excision, so we're shifting some power to better reward Stukov mastery.
Fetid Touch [W]
Low Blow [E]
The Long Pitch [W]
Growing Infestation [E]
Targeted Excision [D]
It Hungers [E]
**We hope these changes keep Tracer a worthy draft consideration regardless of her healer, but we want fewer situations where Tracer is among the very best choices.
One-Two Punch [Q]
Pulse Generator [R]
Untouchable [Q]
Jumper [Q]
**Azmodan's win rate has consistently settled above our preference after the increase in Globe of Annihilation's damage scaling from 2.5% to 4% per level. So, we're knocking it down a peg. We're also trying to diversify how players use Demonic Invasion, so it doesn't feel like the right option is to always cast it on enemy Structures.
Globe of Annihilation [Q]
Wrath [Q]
Bombardment [Q]
Demonic Invasion [R2]
**We're overall pleased with Probius' latest warp in but found some opportunities to tinker. We're excited for Warp In Pylon's change, as aggressive Probius players are given more room to play forward, and we don't think we're negatively affecting safer Probius play styles. Plus, who doesn't like being the Best Probe by gathering all the minerals?
Warp In Pylon [D]
Warp Resonance [W]
Turbo Charged [Z]
Particle Accelerator [Q]
Rift Shock [W]
Tower Defense [E]
Null Gate [R2]
**Historically we've been happy with Greymane's talent spread, but lately he has been taking the same paths too frequently. We're not looking to teach this old dog any new tricks, just encouraging him to keep his enemies guessing.
Wolfheart [W]
Insatiable [W]
Incendiary Elixir [Q]
Running Wild [E]
Gilnean Roulette [R2]
**We want Malthael to be a more formidable threat overall, and especially when against high health opponents.
Reaper’s Mark [Trait]
Touch of Death [Active]
Shroud of Wisdom [Active]
Memento Mori [Trait]
**We'd like Malfurion to be a more reliable pick, so we're increasing the power of all his level 16 talents. Additionally, we're interested to see if direct synergy between Deep Roots and Revitalize helps those talents turn a new leaf.
Deep Roots [E]
Vengeful Roots [E]
Celestial Alignment [W]
Revitalize [D]
Ysera’s Gift [Q]
Nature’s Balance [Passive]
Moonlit Harmony [Passive]
Astral Communion [R2]
MAC
