The second hero from the Overwatch universe joins the Heroes of the Storm cast!

The Machines of War event continues and we have yet another huge patch waiting to be tested on the PTR. This time, you can try Zarya, the new battleground Warhead Junction, three reworked heroes and more.

The StarCraft event in Heroes of the Storm has been received with enthusiasm by the community and now it's time for the second and final round of updates. The most exciting additions are the new hero Zarya and the new battleground Warhead Junction. Moreover, three heroes are getting a rework this time: Nazeebo, Chen and E.T.C. Other heroes that received balance changes are Li-Ming, Malfurion, Tychus and Kharazim.

New Hero: Zarya

Aleksandra Zaryanova is one of the world's strongest women and was a promising athlete, but all that changed when the Siberian omnium reawakened. As a soldier in the Russian Defense Force, she now proudly uses her strength to protect the ones she loves.

Trait

  • Energy
    • Each time Zarya’s Personal Barrier or Shield Ally absorbs 10 damage, her Energy is increased by 1. Each point of Energy increases Zarya’s damage by 2%. After 0.5 seconds, Energy decays by 3 per second.

Basic Abilities

  • Particle Grenade (Q)
    • Launch a Particle Grenade that deals damage to enemies within a small area. Deals 50% damage to Structures.

New Battleground: Warhead Junction

Once a testing facility for nuclear weapons, Warhead Junction has since fallen into ruin. However, the site's abandonment hasn't stopped its glitchy adjutant from continuing to produce and hand out nuclear weapons. Join the arms race of Warhead Junction, build up your stockpile, and rain hell on your enemies!

Warhead Deployment

  • Multiple Warheads will spawn periodically across the battleground.

Collect Warheads

  • Pick up a Warhead to activate your Nuke. Use it or you will drop it when you die!

     Assassin

    Li-Ming

    Divider_Hero_LiMing_Crop.png

    Abilities

    • Arcane Orb (W)
      • Beginning size reduced by roughly 33%
      • Maximum size reduced by roughly 33%
      • Explosion radius reduced by roughly 15%

    Talents

    • Level 4
      • Triumvirate (W)
        • Now reduces the cooldown of Arcane Orb by 50%, instead of 5 seconds
        • Travel distance required reduced from 65 to 50%
    • Level 7
      • Zei's Vengeance (W)
        • Added functionality:
          • Now also reduces the cooldown of Arcane Orb by 25%
    Developer Comments:  Arcane Orb and the Talents affecting it have been slightly underperforming over the past couple months. We are also unhappy with the unpredictably large explosion radius that occurs at close range detonations. To address these concerns, we have made some base size adjustments to the Orb missile while also buffing Zei’s Vengeance to help round out the full build. While the size changes definitely look like a nerf on paper, in actual testing we felt like they gave players tighter control with a lot less early-detonations on unintended targets.

    Tychus

    Divider_Hero_Tychus_Crop.png

    Stats

    • Base Maximum Health increased from 1836 to 1925
    • Base Health Regeneration increased from 3.8 to 4

    Talents

    • Level 1
      • Press the Advantage (E)
        • Basic Attack Range bonus increased from 25 to 35%
      • Combat Tactician (E)
        • Cooldown reduction increased from .75 to .8 seconds per Basic Attack.
      • Shrug It Off (E)
        • Removed
    Developer Comments: After the change the Relentless Soldier in a previous patch, Tychus had 2 different ways to gain Resistant. While we like that Tychus is a “tanky Assassin”, we felt that him having more ways to mitigate damage than some melee Assassins to be too much. We decided to remove Shrug It Off because it felt misplaced on a tier that was primarily about Utility and Mobility. To compensate for the loss of Shrug It Off, we’ve decided to buff his baseline Health and Regeneration and the other Talent options at level 1.

    Developer Comments:  Nazeebo is one of the oldest Heroes in the game, and his Talent tree was in dire need of an upgrade. The goal of the revamp was to increase the reward of mastering the Hero’s Abilities, maintain his identity as a zone control and damage over time character, embrace the fun mini-game that was Death Ritual, and provide interesting synergies between Abilities and Talents. We wanted to be sure to reinforce the designed weaknesses of the Hero that are lack of burst and lack of mobility, while still making him viable in the current metagame of Heroes of the Storm. Overall, a lot of his old Talents had to be revamped or replaced, but we find that he still feels a lot like the old Nazeebo, just more interesting!

    Developer Comments:  While we realize that Malfurion’s talent tree could use some work, and we want to do a deeper dive in the future, we wanted to give him a better niche among our other Support heroes in the meantime. His throughput healing should be higher, and a bigger part of his gameplay should now be rolling his heal-over-time effects among multiple allies to keep them alive. He now also has the unique ability to give allies cooldown reduction in addition to Mana, which should give him a new reason to be considered being added to a team. We’ve also buffed the initial root search for his Entangling Roots, which will enable him to more reliably root enemy Heroes instead of relying on his teammates to secure crowd control.

    Developer Comments:  We know how much passion our players have for Chen and spent months upgrading his Talent Tree to our newest philosophies. To give you an idea of what we were looking to improve, here were a couple of our goals with this update: Chen should be able to be a solo-tank for your team and not be afraid to constantly soak enemy skill-shots. Chen should be a constant threat to the enemy’s backline damage dealers. Chen should deal low amounts of burst damage while continually applying sustained damage at pointed targets. Chen should be extremely resilient in the absence of enemy stuns. As always, we are listening to your feedback and appreciate everyone taking the time to send it to us. Enjoy the new Talent Tree, and as Chen has said many times before- “It is important to master the Brew and not let it master you!”

    Developer Comments:  We like E.T.C.’s core gameplay, but wanted to improve his talent diversity. Many E.T.C. players end up picking the same talents in most games, especially at Levels 1 and 4, due to the importance of buffing Powerslide. We’ve streamlined that power, and have given him more options to play up the bard aspect of his kit, which should make him more of a team player.

    Bug Fixes

    General

    • Fixed an issue that prevented players from placing Healing Totems near destructible objects and unpathable terrain.

    Heroes, Abilities, and Talents

    • Abathur: Fixed an issue causing Abathur’s Ultimate Evolution clones to deal damage to nearby enemies on expiration without learning the Volatile Mutation talent.
    • Anub’arak: It is no longer possible to cast Cocoon on Heroic Vehicles, such as the Garden Terror or Dragon Knight.
    • Auriel and Lunara: Fixed an issue causing Lunara’s camera to behave strangely after being resurrected by Auriel’s Resurrect.
    • Diablo: It is no longer possible to cast Overpower on Heroic Vehicles, such as the Garden Terror or Dragon Knight.
    • Nova: It is no longer possible for Nova to target Invulnerable Heroes with Triple Tap.

    User Interface

    • Greymane: Fixed an issue causing Greymane’s “Eager Wolf” talent to fail to display in the shop when viewing talents for Greymane’s Worgen form.
    • Illidan: Fixed an issue causing the tooltip for Illidan’s Friend or Foe talent to display incorrect data.

    Another notable change is the first ever price increase: Muradin's gold price has been increased to 4,000 gold and $6.49 USD. To compensate, Diablo's prices have been reduced to 2,000 Gold and $3.49 respectively. Spyrian talked a bit about this change on Reddit:

    Blizzard LogoSpyrian

    While we will be increasing Muradin's price a bit once the patch hits the live game next week, it's worth mentioning that we're also reducing Diablo's price from 7k to 2k so that we still have 2 warriors at that level.

    We've done a couple of price increases in the past, though that was quite a while ago (during Tech Alpha, if memory serves). We've also given a bit of advanced notice so that you still have a little over a week to drum up the 2,000 gold needed to buy Muradin if you don't have him already.

    (source)

    We're not increasing the price on the Starter Bundle. It'll have a slightly higher overall discount amount because Muradin's base price is increasing, but we plan to keep the bundle's price the same. (source)

    Spyrian acknowledges the price increase for Muradin, but doesn't say why.  I mean I know its their product and they can dictate what they do with it, but I'm curious why they are suddenly increasing his price.  TBH it doesn't effect me as I already own him, but I just don't see what changed all of a sudden.  Anyone here know why Blizz decided this?

    Perhaps due to heroes changing in difficulty or value to a team? Not sure though.
