Tank

Arthas

Q26A3MMNCXOM1552928294588.png

Base

  • Health increased from 2782 to 2860.
  • Health Regeneration increased from 5.80 to 5.96.

Talents

  • Level 7
    • Rune TapRune Tap [Passive]
      • Healing increased from 4% to 5% maximum Health.
  • Level 10
    • Army of the DeadArmy of the Dead [R1]
      • Tooltip now states how much damage Ghouls do.
  • Level 20
    • Legion of NorthrendLegion of Northrend [R1]
      • Additional functionality: Increase Ghoul Basic Attack damage by 50%.
    • Absolute ZeroAbsolute Zero [R2]
      • Root duration increased from 2 to 2.5 seconds.
      • Slow duration increased from 3.5 to 4 seconds.
    • Death's AdvanceDeath's Advance [Active]
      • Active Movement Speed bonus duration increased from 3 to 5 seconds.
    • Anti-Magic ShellAnti-Magic Shell [Active]
      • Duration increased from 3 to 4 seconds.
Developer Comment: Arthas is slightly underperforming compared to other Warriors, so we’re giving him a small baseline Health buff which we feel is appropriate since he doesn’t have the mobility that a lot of other Warriors bring to the table. We’ve also taken a look at his Level 20 talents and beefed them up all be much more epic.

Diablo

O1Y1GW36O0331552928295139.png

Base

  • Devastating ChargeDevastating Charge [Q]
    • Damage when hitting enemies into terrain increased from 120 to 130.

Talents

  • Level 7
    • Diabolical MomentumDiabolical Momentum [Passive]
      • Cooldown reduction increased from 1.25 to 1.5 seconds.
Developer Comment: Since we changed Devastating ChargeDevastating Charge Diablo has fallen off a bit. While we believe he’s in a more healthy spot overall, we understand how players miss the unique role he had as a tank who had the ability to burst down enemies who are out of position. We’re giving a little bit of that back in the form of a baseline buff to Shadow ChargeShadow Charge so that he can have some of that fantasy back no matter how players choose to build him.

Tyrael

Talents

  • Level 20
    • Defense of the AngelsDefense of the Angels [Active]
      • Cooldown reduced from 120 to 60 seconds.
Developer Comment: Now the Defense of the AngelsDefense of the Angels no longer has a cooldown reduction component, we’re reducing its cooldown to be more in line with similar effects.

Bruiser

Imperius

WW5B0587UG9N1552928295778.png

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Impaling LightImpaling Light [Q]
      • Damage bonus increased from 100% to 125%.
  • Level 4
    • Battle HungerBattle Hunger [Trait]
      • Healing bonus increased from 60% to 70%.
    • Press ForwardPress Forward [Passive]
      • Additional functionality: While Imperius is being healed by a Regeneration Globe, he gains 10 Armor.
  • Level 7
    • Blaze of GloryBlaze of Glory [W]
      • Damage increased from 125 to 135.
  • Level 13
    • Pathetic MortalsPathetic Mortals [Q]
      • Damage reduction increased from 40% to 50%.
  • Level 20
    • Unrelenting DescentUnrelenting Descent [R2]
      • Cooldown reduction increased from 5 to 10 seconds.
    • Brand of SolarionBrand of Solarion [Trait]
      • Duration increased from 3 to 5 seconds.
Developer Comment: We’re giving Imperius a slew of buffs to underperforming talents, which we believe will push him into being a more stable pick on most maps.

Return to Top

Rexxar

LVWW46X3O4XJ1552928297594.png

Base

  • Basic Attack damage increased from 125 to 134.
  • Misha Health reduced from 1620 to 1520.
  • Misha Health Regeneration reduced from 3.38 to 3.17.
  • Mend PetMend Pet [E]
    • Mana cost increased from 60 to 70.
Developer Comment: Rexxar’s ability to win the laning phase on point control maps is a little too powerful, so we’re nerfing his ability to keep Misha alive. To compensate him for this nerf, we’re increasing his Basic Attack damage, which will both help him in latter parts of the game and make the early game more about how well he can work with Misha to outtrade the enemy Hero. We’re hoping that this leads to more interaction in the laning phase, with fewer instances of Misha being able to stand on a point for prolonged periods of time while the opposing hero is unable to push her off. We know there is a fine line between keeping his unique role on these maps and feeling too oppressed when playing against him, so we’ll be keeping an eye on these changes and will tune as necessary going forward.

Xul

Base

  • Health increased from 2000 to 2200.

      • Additional functionality: Increase the duration of Poison Nova by 50%.

    • Kalan's EdictKalan's Edict [Trait]
      • New functionality: Each time Skeletal Warriors deal damage, reduce the cooldown of Bone Armor and Xul’s Heroic Ability by 1.5%.
Developer Comment: Xul’s rework has arrived! Our goal with these changes is primarily to make him feel more like a Diablo Necromancer, and to make his Skeletons a larger part of his kit outside of their pushing potential. Xul now has the ability to spawn Skeletal Warriors in combat via Spectral ScytheSpectral Scythe, and they now explode for damage when they die, giving enemy Heroes a reason to stay away from them while they mow them down. We also updated Xul’s talents to embrace this fantasy, with many options to use Skeletons as a mechanism to deliver various buffs to Xul and debuffs to the enemy team. We had a blast testing him, and hope you enjoy him as much as we have!

Healer

Anduin

EAX0XMN4BR751558488119288.png

Base

  • ChastiseChastise [E]
    • Damage increased from 145 to 155.

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Pursued by GracePursued by Grace [Passive]
      • Healing increased from 33 to 35.
  • Level 7
    • Binding HealBinding Heal [Q]
      • Healing amount increased from 104 to 115.
    • Divine StarDivine Star [W]
      • Shield amount increased from 172 to 185.
  • Level 16
    • Evenhanded BlessingsEvenhanded Blessings [Q]
      • Additional functionality: If Flash Heal is cast on a different target than its last, it heals for 20% more.
  • Level 20
    • Light of StormwindLight of Stormwind [R1]
      • New functionality: While inside Holy Word: Salvation, Anduin’s allies are Invulnerable.
Developer Comment: While decently popular, from a win rate perspective Anduin has been underperforming compared to other Healers, so we’re giving him some buffs largely to underperforming talents to help him out.

Kharazim

ZDU44SCDAA2O1552928296025.png

Talents

  • Level 20
    • Peaceful ReposePeaceful Repose [R1]
      • Additional functionality: Increase the healing of Divine Palm by 75%.
Developer Comment: We felt that Peaceful ReposePeaceful Repose could add something to Kharazim players who are good at proccing Divine PalmDivine Palm, so we’re greatly increasing its Healing when he does get a successful proc.

Return to Top

Rehgar

NVYT5O6ZMGCB1552928297589.png

Talents

  • Level 4
    • Feral HeartFeral Heart [Z]
      • Mana restoration when hitting enemy Heroes increased from 4% to 5%.
  • Level 10
    • BloodlustBloodlust [R2]
      • Life Steal amount increased from 30% to 40% of damage dealt.
  • Level 20
    • Gladiator's War ShoutGladiator's War Shout [R2]
      • New functionality: Increase the range and duration of Bloodlust by 100%.
Developer Comment: We’re giving Gladiator's War ShoutGladiator's War Shout a fairly substantial buff to make it more powerful and interesting, and as a result also buffing BloodlustBloodlust. We’re hoping this opens up an alternative playstyle for Rehgar that can compete better with Ancestral HealingAncestral Healing.

Stukov

7LDK61PS94TT1552928297923.png

Base

  • Health increased from 1765 to 1850.
  • Health Regeneration increased from 3.68 to 3.85.
  • Weighted PustuleWeighted Pustule [W]
    • Damage when expiring increased from 80 to 88.
Developer Comment: Stukov is underperforming a bit compared to other Healers, and his talents are in a fairly good place right now. To help him out, we’re beefing up some of his base stats, which should allow him to better trade with enemy Heroes and apply more pressure to the enemy team.

Melee Assassin

Kerrigan

NSQ6FUNMG76Z1552928296014.png

Talents

  • Level 13
    • Psionic BarrierPsionic Barrier [E]
      • Additional functionality: Hitting an enemy Hero with Primal Grasp also grants Kerrigan 4% Movement Speed for 4 seconds, stacking up to 20%.
    • ChrysalisChrysalis [Active]
      • Chrysalis is now able to be cancelled early.
Developer Comment: We’ve heard feedback from Kerrigan players for some time that they would like to have the ability to cancel ChrysalisChrysalis early. We originally intended it to be this way to separate it a bit from other similar mechanics and to give opponents a reliable way to counter it, but found that it ended up being less fun and interesting overall. Because of this, we’re adding the ability for Kerrigan to cancel the effect early.

Samuro

KRHKYSD7K7EI1552928297624.png

Talents

  • Level 20
    • Dance Of DeathDance Of Death [R1]
      • Required Heroes hit to reset cooldown reduced from 25 to 20.
Developer Comment: Dance Of DeathDance Of Death was a little too hard to proc, so we’re lowering its requirement so that players can get resets more often from the Heroic upgrade.

Return to Top

The Butcher

84QA7187MS4C1552928294851.png

Base

  • Ruthless OnslaughtRuthless Onslaught [E]
    • Duration before the ability can be cancelled after charging reduced from 1 to .75 seconds.
Developer Comment: We’re making this change to reduce the amount of time that The Butcher has to commit to a charge before he can cancel it. Currently there is an awkward time where he charges and may want to cancel it as soon as possible, but he is forced to move a fair amount forward before he can cancel his charge. To make this feel more responsive, we’re reducing this window of time.

Ranged Assassin

Mephisto

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Malicious IntentMalicious Intent [E]
      • Number of enemy Heroes required to hit for the Spell Power duration bonus reduced from 20 to 18.
  • Level 7
    • TrickeryTrickery [E]
      • Number of enemy Heroes required to hit to reset the cooldown of Shade of Mephisto reduced from 20 to 18.
Developer Comment: Malicious IntentMalicious Intent and TrickeryTrickery are getting their additional procs slightly less often than we would like, so we’re reducing the requirement.

Raynor

1O75ANOM5QWH1552928297454.png

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Ace In The HoleAce In The Hole [Passive]
      • Damage bonus reduced from 15% to 10%.
Developer Comment: Our thinking with our Raynor changes in our previous patch was to solve a design problem with Ace In The HoleAce In The Hole’s mandatory synergy with Unstable CompoundUnstable Compound, while simultaneously giving him a bit of a buff overall by making his other two talents measure up to its new power. While this was largely successful, we underestimated how much more powerful Ace In The HoleAce In The Hole would become compared to the new, buffed alternatives. We’re lowering its damage a bit to compensate for the Slow that it gained, which should make the tier more even overall.

Looks like a huge buff for Xul. Raynor's slight nerf is understandable, as this talent is very easy to proc, with slow baked into it. Still no Tassadar and D.va reworks. I wonder how much longer it's going to take.

Xul looks OP as hell using skeletons, *filtered*. Not gonna stop me from abusing this in Brawl though. There is no guilt in it as opposed to regular and quick match play since its such a short and messy version of the game. :p

Againa. l.m.a.o. is filtered. :/ So dumb.
