Gul’dan is the newest addition to Heroes of the Storm, albeit with a somewhat loose definition of the term “hero.” Maybe if you lean way back and squint a bit. The dude is an avowed jerk, but he comes with appropriately destructive ability, draining life and sacrificing his own survivability for greater damage. But while he’s the center of the most recent patch, he’s by no means the only thing contained therein.
Healing wells and regeneration orbs have been made more impactful across the board, with a longer cooldown on the former making the choice to use the well more important. Greymane has also seen some of his abilities buffed and given longer cooldowns, with the aim of making each use feel more important, while Jaina has been more specialized in her battlefield control role and Kerrigan has been given a few more options to diversify what she’s able to do in combat. Check out the full patch notes for a more detailed breakdown of the balance shifts and the reasoning behind each.
