New Hero: Alexstrasza

Alexstrasza, the queen of dragons, was empowered by the titans to be the guardian of all life on Azeroth. She has aided mortals time and again, even at great personal cost. Now, she soars across the Nexus, protecting life wherever she finds it.

While Dragonqueen is active, Alexstrasza's Basic Abilities are empowered, her Basic Attacks deal 143 damage and heal allied Heroes for 43 in an arc in front of her, and the duration of incoming Slows, Roots, Blinds, and Stuns is reduced by 50%. Lasts 15 seconds.

Basic Abilities

  • Gift of Life (Q)
    • Sacrifice 15% of Alexstrasza's current Health, healing an ally for 150% of that amount.
    • Dragonqueen: Breath of Life cooldown greatly reduced and does not cost Health.
  • Abundance (W)
    • Plant a seed of healing that blooms after 3 seconds, healing nearby allied Heroes for 20% of their maximum Health.
    • Dragonqueen: Preservation heal area and amount greatly increased.
  • Flame Buffet (E)
    • Launch a fireball, Burning enemies hit for 75 damage over 5.5 seconds.Hitting enemies that are already Burning deals 125 bonus damage upon impact, Slows them by 40% decaying over 2 seconds, and refunds the Mana cost.
    • Dragonqueen: Wing Buffet damage and Knockback enemies in an arc.

Heroic Abilities

  • Life-Binder (R)
    • Bind Alexstrasa's life force with an allied Hero. After 2 seconds, the Hero with a lower percentage of Health is set to the same Health percentage as the other Hero..
  • Cleansing Flame (R)
    • After 1.25 seconds, take to the sky and drop fireballs at the position of your mouse cursor every 1.2 seconds for 6 seconds. Each fireball restores 300 Health to nearby allied Heroes, and deals 150 damage to nearby enemies.2 seconds after dropping all fireballs, Alexstrasza lands at the position of your mouse cursor.

AI

General

  • Made improvements to Battleground strategies used by Elite AI Heroes.
  • Several additional Heroes have received tactical AI improvements, including:
    • Greymane
    • Johanna
    • Ragnaros
    • Rehgar
    • Rexxar
    • Valeera
    • Zarya

Art

Heroes, Abilities, and Talents

  • Li Li has received updated visual effects to coincide with Talent changes.
  • Sgt. Hammer's Basic Attacks during Siege Mode now better convey area of effect damage.

Battlegrounds

  • Haunted Mines
    • Issuing a move order between levels will now have the player automatically use the entrance or exit that is the closest distance to their issued order
    • Summoned Golem
      • Attack speed is no longer reduced by Fort and Keep attacks
      • Will no longer interrupts its attack mid-swing to cast Slam or Roots
      • No longer stops to crush player created walls, but will now pass through them effortlessly
  • Bloodlust Brawl
    • All Minions, Mercs, and the Dragon Knight now have permanent Bloodlust.

Developer Comment: When looking at this Brawl, we really love the Bloodlust buff. By powering up the Players and the Dragon Knight so much, the poor Minions really struggled to provide much value during the Brawl. In order to bring them up to speed with their Mercenary buddies, we’ve decided that all Minions could use permanent Bloodlust as well.

ALARAK ANNOUNCER. FINALLY!

All I need now is The Lost Vikings announcer and I'll be truly complete.

The Li Li rework is also fantastic. I love it.

Quote

Surging Winds (E)

New functionality:

If at least two targets of Blinding Wind are Heroes, gain 10 Spellpower for 10 seconds and reduce the cooldown of Blinding Wind by 3 seconds.

Is it 10 or 10%?

I thought they r going to buff Lili not destroying her with nerfing her abilities!

only thing they added to her is fast feet trait and talents which is useless since Lili usually stands out of combat and throws tea cups and serpent or blinding wind and I think nobody likes to risk and go inside battle area and let enemy damages him/her to have faster coldown recharging while Lili is a low health hero and even a simple stun can be dangerous for her

Why are they doing event quests which have no real rewards? after the launch of heroes 2.0 they usually awarded some loot chest in events, what the hell shall I do with all these useless banners, portraits etc we get showered with?

Well only thing i see is you're saying that blizzard is nerfing Lili with removing many talents and I just see they are adding more stuffs about her E and trait which isn't important as her main ability(Q) and her healing ..well only good thing they have added is blessing of Yu'lon which isn't big change as you see it's mostly for warriors and oh its lv16  talent not lv1or4or7 and can't be used on whole game and you can just use it on last 5-10m and well idk how these want to help her:

Healing Brew (Q)Cooldown increased from 3 to 4 seconds

Range reduced from 7 to 6

Cloud Serpent (W)Mana Cost increased from 30 to 40

Cooldown increased from 10 to 12 seconds.

Attack Speed reduced from .75 to 1 attacks per second

Blinding Wind (E)Cooldown increased from 9 to 12 seconds

Duration reduced from 2 to 1.5 seconds

And most of new talents which all are about fast feet stuffs and blinding wind duration or damage

None of these generic talents were picked at all in the competitive setting, with the exception of Storm ShieldStorm Shield and sometimes Shrink RayShrink Ray. I'm glad they got rid of them to make more suited talents to fit the Hero's fantasy aspect (I'm still waiting for them to make equivalent versions of Ice BlockIce Block for Malfurion, Brightwing and Nazeebo that is tailored visually to fit the characters).

Li Li now has very interesting Healing BrewHealing Brew talents now, like "Free Drinks" at level 1, which has nice synergy with "Pick Me Up" at level 16. I mean, Blizzard had to at least increase a bit the mana cost of her abilities since Li Li had little to no mana issues.

Regarding the other talents, it's great to give Li Li more flexibility (that she already had) as a Support; she can be a great suplementary healer that focus on damage if the team already has a strong main healer. Li Li is one of the few Supports that can effectively trade against other Heroes. So giving her more talents to increase her damage is not bad.

YES! That is pretty much what I had in mind. Then he could have his own effect, like poisoning nearby enemies when activating it, or something.

Malfurion's could be something like Barkskin, where he's encased by tree branches or something that reduce his damage taken after "Ice Block" is over.

Finally, Brightwing's could be something like coating her in a Arcane energy and healing her for a small amount.

It wouldn't be too difficult to implement - maybe we'll actually see this as they de-generalise talents. I'd still be the most excited by far for Nazeebo. Maybe he could still be attackable in it, but takes no damage. If you attack him in his Ice Block, he applies a stack of voodoo touch.

It shouldn't, and it would be great since they're trying to get rid of those generic talents.

They could also work around Malfurion's Scouting DroneScouting Drone, because why in the fuck would a Druid, one with the nature, be able to summon a tiny robot? Maybe he could instead summon a Wisp (akin to Lunara's), or even something more visual like a Rexxar's FlareFlare and Rehgar's FarsightFarsight. Or just remove the ability altogether since Druids don't have that in WoW.

I agree, total waste of time.  At least these quest ones are not intrusive in the game.  I got so sick of that opening boxes thing a month ago, that went on WAY too long.
