Don’t you get incredibly nervous when developers set their eyes on a class or champion that you’re playing? It’s agonizing wondering if they’re going to break it, nerf it, or change how it feels and functions.
Three Heroes of the Storm characters were on the receiving end of a balancing patch this week, and it is a mixed bag. Anub’arak had his health and health regen nerfed, while Leoric saw his healing power increase across the board.
Blizzard had a special word to say about Medivh: “While we are still excitedly waiting to see what competitive teams will be able to do with this unique hero, we have gathered enough data to see that Medivh could benefit from some strategic buffs. We realize Medivh’s success is typically reliant on how much the rest of his team capitalizes on his abilities — so we have given him a bit more baseline power, which we hope will allow him to make a greater individual impact on a game’s outcome.”
The studio has also teased some of its in-dev champions, including Auriel and Gul’dan. The vid’s below.
