    New Hero: Mal'Ganis (Warrior)

    Cunning and intelligent, Mal'Ganis was chosen to bring Arthas Menthil into the Lich King's service. After manipulating the prince into purging Stratholme of life, he finally fell to Frostmourne as Arthas's first act as the Lich King's champion... yet a demon does not die so easily.

    Design

    Support Heroes
    • We've unified certain Support abilities to only work on Heroes (not minions or Mercenaries):
    Alexstrasza
    • Gift of LifeGift of Life (Q)
    • Breath of LifeBreath of Life (Q-Dragon Form)
    Brightwing
    • Pixie DustPixie Dust (E)
    Li Li
    • Healing BrewHealing Brew (Q)
    Rehgar
    • Healing TotemHealing Totem (Active - Level 4)
    • Earth ShieldEarth Shield (W - Level 13)
    Tyrande
    • Light of EluneLight of Elune (Q)
    Uther
    • Holy LightHoly Light (Q)
    Developer Comment: We're unifying the vast majority of our heals for their intended purpose: healing allied Heroes.  We're maintaining the ability for a few heals to affected Minions still where we think it's an important part of their gameplay: Lt. Morales Healing BeamHealing Beam (so that she can heal herself), Rehgar's Chain HealChain Heal (to allow bounces travel across Minions), Tyrael's RighteousnessRighteousness (because shielding Minion waves is part of the lane interaction with the ability), and Uther's Holy RadianceHoly Radiance (to unify expectations, since it can damage Minions).

    Anyone know why Haunted Mines has been removed?

    I'm curious about this as well, considering they've already reworked the map. Garden of Terror lost its "drop everything to collect 100 bits" element entirely, so they may have decided this approach simply isn't part of their current "design philosophy" - and I can't imagine how in the hell they'd make Haunted Mines playable while ditching the entire reason you'd enter the mines in the first place.

    Yeah, the mines part is weird, maybe it's getting another update or they are just giving up on it.
