Heroes of the Storm Developer Insights on Upcoming Hero Changes

The game designer for Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm, Matthew Cooper has shared his insights on some of the hero changes and talent reworks that will come to the MOBA in the near future.

Among them are Malfurion, Brightwing, Rehgar, and the Lost Vikings, who will be receiving significant changes. The Lost Vikings, in particular, will receive tweaks to lower their current win rate, which was apparently too high (in other words, a nerf), along with changes to tweak their talent diversity. Talents such as Promote are tweaked for gameplay balance and the knock-back effect in-game gets a rework with new daze mechanics.

Some of the changes are already in effect on the Public Test Realm server for the upcoming Heroes of the Storm Eternal Conflict content update; the full details and the associated numbers can be found in the patch notes here.
