Blaze is now live in worldwide. The patch brings additional tuning to Heroes, changes to Regeneration Globes, Mercenaries, Forts & Keeps that were not present in the initial PTR build from January 2. Warhead Junction has been removed from the Ranked Battleground Rotation.

Our next Heroes of the Storm patch has just arrived along with Blaze, Veteran Firebat. 

NOTE: Lines of Orange Text indicate an addition to the notes from PTR to Live.

New Hero: Blaze

Cpl. Miles "Blaze" Lewis has always been drawn to the flame, but it wasn't until he joined up with Raynor's Raiders that he put his pyromania to good use. He's seen his fair share of battles since then, and has never failed to bring the heat.

Trait

  • Pyromania
    • Gain 25 Armor and deal 40 damage to nearby enemies every 0.5 seconds for 4 seconds. Each Hero hit by Flame Stream reduces Pyromania's cooldown by 5 seconds.

Basic Abilities

  • Flame Stream (Q)
    • Fire two streams of flame that deal 83 damage to enemies hit. Flame Stream sets fire to Oil Spills it comes in contact with.
  • Oil Spill (W)
    • Vector Targeting.
    • Dispense a slick of oil that lasts for 5 seconds and Slows enemies that come in contact with it by 40%. Flame Stream can set Oil Spills on fire for 2.5 seconds, dealing 18 damage every 0.3 seconds to enemies inside. While on fire, Oil Spills no longer Slow enemies. Additionally, Blaze is Healed for 49 Health every 0.3 seconds while standing in flaming Oil Spills. Stores up to 2 charges.
  • Jet Propulsion (E)
    • After 0.5 seconds, charge forward, colliding with the first enemy Hero hit, dealing 52 damage to them and nearby enemy Heroes. Enemies hit are also Stunned for 1.25 seconds.

Heroic Abilities

  • Bunker Drop (R)
    • After 0.5 seconds, deploy and enter a Bunker with 1300 Health. Blaze and his allies can enter and exit the Bunker at will. While in the Bunker, occupants gain access to Flamethrower, dealing 179 damage to enemies in a line. Exiting the Bunker grants 25 Armor for 2 seconds. Bunkers last 10 seconds, or until destroyed.
  • Combustion (R)
    • Channel up to 2.6 seconds. Once Channeling ends, nearby enemies are Slowed by 60% and take 48 damage  every 0.5 seconds. Combustion's Slow and damage over time durations are extended the longer Blaze Channels, from 1 second up to 5 seconds. Blaze's Movement Speed is reduced by 50% while Channeling.

Developer CommentAs expected, our gameplay update for 2018 resulted in large changes to many of our game systems. While we’re overall happy with the direction of the update, there have been some unintended side effects that we’re hoping to remedy. We overestimated how much more powerful unlimited ammo would be for Structures, and as a result pushing mechanics have become too strong, resulting in lower game times on nearly all maps. We’re giving our towers some of their teeth back with this update, which should help teams hold pushes from Mercenary Camps and map events. We’re also making some tuning changes to some of our Mercenary Camps now that we have had some time to see how they have been performing. Hellbats and Knights in particular are pushing harder than we would like, so we’re reducing their power. We’re also taking a look at the Warhead Junction boss and reducing its early and mid-game pushing power, as right now it is too strong when combined with Nukes from the map event. Lastly, we are reducing the power of Regeneration Globes. While we like the new mini-game that Neutral Regen globes provide in the laning phase, we are not comfortable with how much they are currently benefitting the team that is ahead while they are pushing into a defending team. We’re also seeing players picking up more Regeneration Globes in general, so this will help to keep the game’s overall sustain in check. These are some hefty changes, and it’s likely that there will be more needed to be done over time as things continue to settle. We’ll be keeping an eye on things, and are prepared to make more updates as they’re needed.

Heroes Brawl

  • Dodge Brawl
    • Chromie’s Health has been increased from 3 to 5
    • Ghost Chromies now display player names overhead
    • The in-game camera will now lock to Ghost Chromie until a new round begins

Ranked Battleground Rotation

  • Removed
    • Warhead Junction
  • Added
    • Volskaya Foundry

Heroes

Assassin

Hanzo

Divider_Hero_Hanzo_crop.png

Abilities

  • Scatter Arrow (W)
    • Spread of Scatter Arrows narrowed by 20%
    • Damage reduced from 93 to 90
  • Natural Agility (D)
    • Cooldown reduced from 25 to 20 seconds
    • Range increased from 8 to 10

Talents

  • Level 7
    • Shieldbreaker (Q)
      • Removed
    • Sharpened Arrowheads (W)
      • Moved from level 20
      • New functionality:
        • Hitting a Hero with Storm Bow or Basic Attacks reduces their Armor by 5 for 4 seconds, stacking up to 25.
  • Level 13
    • Mounted Archery (Z)
      • Bonus Movement Speed reduced from 30 to 20%
  • Level 16
    • Giant Slayer (W)
      • Damage increased from 1.25 to 1.5% of enemy Hero’s Health
  • Level 20
    • (New) Perfect Agility (D)
      • Gain a second charge of Natural Agility, and reduce the cooldown by 5 seconds
Developer CommentWe’re reducing the spread of Scatter Arrows so that they’re more effective when opponents aren’t directly next to a wall, while also reducing the damage slightly to compensate. We’ve increased the range of Natural Agility so that it will jump over a wider variety of terrain. We’ve also removed Shieldbreaker because we found that it required a very specific set of circumstances to be effective, but it was extremely powerful in those rare situations. We’ve moved Sharpened Arrowheads to replace it while changing its functionality to be more consistent in all situations.

Nova

Divider_Hero_Nova_Crop.png

Abilities

  • Snipe (Q)
    • Damage reduced from 245 to 230
  • Pinning Shot (W)
    • Damage reduced from 105 to 100
  • Precision Strike (R)
    • Damage reduced from 456 to 435
  • Precision Sniper (Trait)
    • Damage per stack increased from 5 to 6%

Abilities

  • Level 7
    • Perfect Shot (Q)
      • Cooldown refund for hitting Heroes increased from 2 to 3 seconds
    • One in the Chamber (Passive)
      • Damage bonus reduced from 70 to 60%
  • Level 16
    • Lethal Decoy (E)
      • Clone damage reduced from 40 to 35%
Developer CommentIt’s nice to see that the recent changes to Nova have been so widely embraced by players. However, with the addition of some new escape tools and her ability to have multiple clones out at once, we feel like her damage potential against single targets is still a bit too high. Our data is showing that her talent tree is in a very good spot balance wise (besides a couple outliers, which you see here) so we are also lowering her base output and compensating by increasing Precision Sniper’s damage.

Samuro

Divider_Hero_Samuro_crop.png

Stats

  • Base Maximum Health increased from 1650 to 1725
  • Health Regen increased from 3.4 to 3.6

Abilities

  • Mirror Image (Q)
    • Image Health increased from 825 to 862.5
    • Image Health Regen increased from 1.7 to 1.8

Talents

  • Level 4
    • Deflection (Trait)
      • Armor increased from 25 to 30
  • Level 7
    • Burning Blade (W)
      • Damage bonus decreased from 65 to 50%
    • Phantom Pain (W)
      • Damage bonus increased from 40 to 45%
    • Crushing Blows (W)
      • Cooldown reduction increased from 1.5 to 1.75 seconds
Developer CommentSamuro’s rework has put him in a good position regarding his talent pick and win rates, as well as his overall performance. In addition to some talent tuning changes, we decided to slightly increase his Health to compensate for the fact that he now has to put himself into dangerous positions much more often to deal damage.

Valeera

Divider_Hero_Valeera_crop.png

Abilities

  • Garrote (E)
    • Silence duration reduced from 2.75 to 2.5 seconds

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Crippling Poison (Active)
      • Slow reduced from 25 to 20%
  • Level 4
    • Hemorrhage (E)
      • Damage bonus reduced from 50 to 30%
Developer CommentWe’re reducing the duration of Garrote’s Silence slightly so that all openers feel viable, and reducing the damage of Hemorrhage so that Valeera doesn’t have as much damage while also being able to shut down her target.

Zeratul

Divider_Hero_Zeratul_Crop.png

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Move Unseen (Trait)
      • Movement Speed increased from 25 to 30%
  • Level 4
    • Darkness Descends (Active)
      • Passive Attack Speed bonus increased from 10 to 20%
  • Level 7
    • Warp Skirmisher (1)
      • Bonus Attack Damage increased from 30 to 40%
Developer CommentZeratul currently has the lowest win rate out of all of our Stealth characters, so we’re tuning up some of his underperforming talents. He traditionally has been a high performer as players learn to master him, so we will be keeping an eye on him over time to see if he needs any more changes.

Developer CommentWhile Malfurion has had many adjustments and talent shuffles over the past couple of years, his healing mechanics have stayed relatively straight-forward. The core kit changes in this rework are intended to make his gameplay a bit more active. Turning offensive pressure directly into healing output should reinvigorate Malfurion mains while also greatly raising his skill ceiling. We are very excited to see what you think and are actively listening for any and all feedback you have – Elune grant us strength!

Nice update, all of these changes we're needed in some capacity, but Sonya still remains a BIG issue. What are we going to about that, Blizzard? I personally suggest decreasing her damage while keeping her healing the same and maybe increasing her health by a small margin.

Just already left playing hots for week cuz of that crap nova on every matches..finally it's  time to back :D

And maybe not... OMG what are these BGs updates.. are these mean towers are stronger n we will have longer matches?33%more damage+health on 1update looks abit weird!oh seems yes because in towers of dooms which isn't rely on towers much they increased res time..

they also nerfed mercs n hp n mana globes  which make games take longer..

Maybe it's just me but one of my main reasons for playing hots is it doesn't need much time like Dota 2 or other similar games need

They're basically reverting to the same damage they did before, minus one tower (which was removed from every map) 

Am excited for the Malfurion changes, it seems like an incredible clutch on Blizzard's part to look at their roster and be confident in the range of playstyles and learning curves for each Support and go ahead with many fundamental changes to Malf and a new skill cap to explore and enjoy.

New malf is straight broken. I have no idea how he survived the PTR with the numbers he puts out. I love the design idea of his changes, but the numbers need work and they just ignored it.

This is a punch against regrowth, they should call it rejuvenation now with no initial heal as in game.

Broken OP OP or broken useless?

OP OP. He's easily the strongest healer in the game, can run a hot on every team member and burst heal them all with a single moonfire. He takes some set up before going into team fights, but if you manage that, no one will die. Ever.

GG, Hanzo is useless now for me

The talent he got instead is even more overpowered lol. What i dont get is that it directily competes with Dragon Hungers which will be pretty much the worse choice now, unless you want use Dragonstrike 20 spell power buffed but who uses Dragonstrike?)

They have the time to decide to buff Bunker's health by 5, but they don't have the time to realize that Raynor needs a rework. Wonderful. Just, wonderful.

BTW, where's my Strike Freedom Tyrael and Destiny Tyrael? BabyRage

Malfurion road to 30% winrate started, he doesn't heal anymore his waveclear is got completely canceled by removing roots damage to non heroic targets, you can only put regen on people full hp otherwise they die before even heal a little and if you want heal a little you have to play aggressive on a hero that can't escape. There is no point on playing Malfurion when Lucio exist and even Brightwing can be better. So he's the 3rd on a list of healers over time and Lucio has also burst heals escape and peel and doesn't need unrealistic setup to his job.

Another design failure as Hanzo at least Blaze is good so there is still some hope in someone who dev the heroes.

Why are they still nerfing Garrosh? He already has a very weak late game. ==

Seems u for got something... they already balanced Raynor for times... n he's a standard hero I think... we got him from first patch.. maybe u mean they got time for all except viks!^^

n they didn't just nerf garrosh. . If u can read u can see buffs n decreased CDs too:)

N bunker's health will be increased per level so that 5 health will be something more after a while... most of balances are like this that they just change states for -10to+10

Raynor balanced? LUL

Garrosh's all Lv 16 talents are nerfed, so he will have an even worse late game now.

The health increases by 4% per level, so the 5 health buff would be around 6.8 at Lv 10. SeemsGood

I'm on my way to be a baldie before I even reach my 40's. All because I pull my hair because Blizzard keeps nerfing Nova with each new patch.

She's still better than she was before the rework. This nerf takes away some of the free damage she can dump on people with little interaction and more emphasis on Snipe. It seems they want to make stealth heroes have a noticeably high skill cap, which is justifiable and works.

Nova is one of those Heroes that will always be subject of constant tweaking. It is really difficult to make her really good without making her broken.

Since when is Hanzo a design failure. lol

 if you want heal a little you have to play aggressive on a hero that can't escape

You do realize Malfurion can have 125% move speed with the new talent right? 115% move speed on Alexstrasza works i dont see how 125% move speed on Malfurion wouldnt.
