New Hero: D.Va

Developer Comment:  Your Highlord has returned! Alarak has received a large update that he has deemed “acceptable”, targeted at making him more rewarding for players who take the time to master him.  Baseline changes include reworking his Sadism to be increased upon getting Takedowns and putting bonus damage into his Lightning Surge baseline for hitting enemies in its center beam.  We’re also experimenting with some new talent ideas with Extended Lightning and Chaos Reigns, where players can gain huge benefits for the rarely accomplished feat of hitting 3 enemy Heroes with a single ability.

Developer Comment:  During one of our design meetings many months ago, we came to the consensus that we wanted to swap the heal functionality between Tyrande and Uther. It felt like the self-heal mechanic was better suited on a front-line melee Healer, so we gave it to our favorite paladin in his latest rework. Instead of simply removing functionality from Light of Elune, we decided to add a large amount of cooldown reduction with every Basic Attack. This will reward players that can stay in combat and has allowed us to shift some of her power from healing output into more utility and offensive-based areas. Overall, we are extremely excited to see what our players can do with her new kit and look forward to hearing any feedback you have!

Developer Comment:  These changes are based primarily on win and pick rates of some of Dehaka's talent tiers. We removed some unpopular talents and combined a few others to make them more attractive.

Are you guys going to buy the Welcome Bundle? I probably will, but I'm not sure yet

I'm really tempted to. 800 gems, plus 3 types of crates, stimpack and a mount is a lot. I'm curious about the price, though.

By the way, is this Zebra Mount the same as the Nazeebra Mount? Or is it a different mount?

It should be a new mount. It is "Available exclusively by purchasing the Welcome Bundle.", which should mean that it has not obtainable before, unlike Nazeebra

Do they still have the promo going where you get that celestial horse for the first time you buy gems? Getting double mounts sounds really good.

Do they still have the promo going where you get that celestial horse for the first time you buy gems? Getting double mounts sounds really good.

Yeah, the promotion is still available, though I don't know whether it will stay this way the next week, but I don't see why it wouldn't
