Hey I know that guy!

Most of the time we come here completely voluntarily :)

Something something Furnace Blast

Update: the rotation issue should be resolved.

Thanks for your reports!

Hi Heroes,

We are aware of the F2P Hero rotation and looking into it. Thanks for the reports and your patience while we dig into figuring out the best way to resolve the issue.

Happy Friday Reddit Fam!

This is exactly the reason. The team was working on finalizing the balance patch early this week, but due to random development hurdles, it looked like we weren't going to be able to get the patch out this week. Luckily enough, with some heavy lifting from the team, we were able to fix the issues and green-light the patch early this morning.

Disabling a Hero for a handful of hours was not intended, but with us in a space where we were not 100% confident that we could patch this week, we felt like it was the right thing to do.

All this said, we hope you enjoy the patch and are eagerly reading and absorbing your feedback. Have a wonderful weekend!

Heroes of the Storm has just been updated with Hero balance changes! Read on for details.

Hello Reddit Family –

We’re working on getting the next balance patch into your hands as soon as possible, but until then we have disabled Zagara in all forms of play. We feel like this is the best step to ensure higher quality matches until we can address her current strengths.

To help prepare you, below is a preview of the changes Zagara will receive when the upcoming patch hits. Thank you for your patience.

Base

• Health reduced from 1575 to 1500.

• Health regeneration reduced from 3.82 to 3.12.

• Basic Attack damage reduced from 85 to 83.

Baneling Barrage [Q]

• Mana cost increased from 10 to 15.

• Cooldown increased from 3 to 4.

• Damage reduced from 86 to 80.

Talents

Level 1

Volatile Acid [Q]

• Removed functionality: No longer increases Baneling Barrage’s damage.

Level 7

Baneling Massacre [Q]

• Changed functionality: Gain two additional charges of Baneling Barrage, but increase its cooldown by 2 seconds.

Level 20

Pack Instinct [W]

• Damage bonus reduced from 25% to 20%.

• Duration reduced from 3 to 2 seconds.

Developer Comment:

In contrast to our usual ethos, Zagara is seeing her talents pay the price for an increase in power to her base kit. While the immediate effect is Zagara has less impactful Baneling talents, we feel that Baneling Barrage is a more interesting ability than from where we started, and we have more room for future changes.

TOO SOON REDDITORS, YOU HAVE SUMMONED ME TOO SOON

If all goes as planned, next week.

This!

Don't mind me - just commenting to bait out more replies from Valla players.

Perfect in everyway.

Nope. I can comment when I want to and I found the above joke hilarious. :)

I lol'd

That was so satisfying. I almost feel like if you waited one second, you may have gotten Morales as she was walking into the pile of people as well :P

Well, personally, I'm working on two reworks, some changes for the next balance patch (coming soon!) and some stuff I can't talk about yet. :)
