Our next Heroes of the Storm patch has just hit the Public Test Realm and will be available for playtesting until April 23. As always, if you encounter any bugs during your PTR play sessions, please stop by the PTR Bug Report forum to let us know about your experiences.

New Hero: Deckard

An avid scholar, Deckard Cain has dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge. He has been an advisor, storyteller, and friend to Sanctuary’s greatest heroes, guiding them through peril time and again. When Deckard speaks, it’s wise to stay awhile and listen.

Trait
  • Fortitude of the Faithful
    • When at least 1 other allied Hero is nearby, Deckard gains 10 Armor and his Basic Abilities recharge 50% faster.

Basic Abilities

  • Healing Potion (Q)
    • Toss a Healing Potion on the ground that heals the first allied Hero that comes in contact with it for 230.
    • Limit 5 active Potions.
  • Horadric Cube (W)
    • Throw the Horadric Cube, dealing 80 damage to all enemies in the area and Slowing them by 40% for 1.75 seconds.
  • Scroll of Sealing (E)
    • Unfurl an enchanted scroll, forming a triangle that deals 150 damage to enemies inside and Roots them for 1.5 seconds.

Heroic Abilities

  • Stay Awhile and Listen (R)
    • After 1 second, Channel for 3 seconds, putting enemy Heroes in front of Deckard to Sleep while Channeling, and for 2 seconds after.
    • Enemies can only be put to Sleep once per cast, and Sleep’s effects end instantly if they take damage.
  • Lorenado (R)
    • Vector Targeting.
    • Create a swirling lorenado that travels in the targeted direction, continually knocking away any enemies that come into contact with it.

Art

Heroes, Abilities, and Talents

  • Gul’dan: Has received updated visual effects to make his Abilities easier to spot during battle.

User Inteface

Draft Mode

  • Hero portraits in Draft Lobbies will now use 2D Base Hero art rather than animated 3D Hero Skin models in order to help make Hero picks easier to differentiate from one another at a glance.
    • For example: It should now be easier to tell whether a teammate has selected Falstad or Muradin during a draft.

Design

Quests

  • Skillshots, as well as other Abilities and Talents that search for targets, will now pass through Invulnerable targets without granting quest progress.

Genji

L1U82J9IR3NY1493916348655.png
PTR Note: Shortly before releasing today’s patch we discovered a bug affecting Genji’s Shuriken (Q). This will likely result in difficult gameplay experiences for those attempting to test Genji’s changes in the PTR. We are working to resolve the issue before this patch is released to the live version of Heroes of the Storm next week. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Stats

  • Health increased from 1550 to 1620.
  • Health Regen increased from 3.2304 to 3.3750.
  • Basic Attack damage increased from 42 to 44.

Abilities

  • Cyber AgilityCyber Agility (Trait) (D)
    • Cooldown increased from 10 to 12 seconds.
  • Swift StrikeSwift Strike (E)
    • Range reduced from 14 to 12.
  • DragonbladeDragonblade (R)
    • Damage increased from 220 to 240.
    • Removed functionality:
      • Killing an enemy Hero who was recently hit by DragonbladeDragonblade no longer resets Swift StrikeSwift Strike’s cooldown.

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Agile DismountAgile Dismount (Trait)
      • Cooldown reduction increased from 5 to 7 seconds.
  • Level 13
    • Double JumpDouble Jump (Trait)
      • No longer increases Cyber AgilityCyber Agility’s cooldown.
  • Level 20
    • The Dragon Becomes MeThe Dragon Becomes Me (R)
      • Additional Functionality:
        • Now also resets Swift Strike’s cooldown if an enemy Hero dies within 2 seconds after being hit by Dragonblade.
Developer Comment: We’re making some changes to Genji to try and make him less frustrating to play against and give opponents more options to counter him. While we think resetting Swift Strike’s cooldown after killing enemy Heroes with Dragonblade made for cool, flashy plays, it shut down too many other Heroes too often. It also caused too many games to become about how much value Genji was able to get out of Dragonblade. We like the flashiness that Dragonblade resets can provide, so we’re keeping that functionality, but we’re now adding it to his Level 20 Storm Talent version of the Heroic. We’re also increasing his Health and Basic Attack damage, reducing the range of Swift Strike, and increasing the cooldown of Cyber Agility to reduce his mobility while boosting his base stats to compensate.

Is it me or did they give Genji more damage/health as part of his “Nerf”... shouldn’t surprise me I suppose. I don’t know what I’d do without Shimada bros., I guess ban people based on the map or some foolishness. ;)

They took away a massive amount of his mobility. They had to give him a little something. I think if they didn't give him at least the health he'd be unplayable. He's a niche (but powerful) pick as it is now.

Deckard Cain is now available for playtesting

Hey man, just wanted to add, if there is someone like me waiting for Cain forever (although I came back to the game with 2.0), here is a guide that you might add for those that don't have previous PTR downloaded, saves time and ISP limits if one has them! 

Now to check my new main :D

Buffs: 5
- More base health
- More health regen
- More basic attack damage
- Double Jump no longer increases cooldown
- Dragonblade damage increased

Nerfs: 3
- Base cooldown on D increased
- Range on E reduced
- Dragonblade kills no longer reset E

Unchanged: 2
- Agile Dismount cd reduction does not change uptime
- Dragonblade upgrade gives back basic function

Verdict:
I would not call that "mostly" buffed. Yes, more buffs. But you have to put the changes into perspective. A bid more health and damage will probably not compensate for the loss in mobility (cd on D), range (basic E) and Dragonblade lost quite a bit of mobility because of the removal of the second E-refund condition, which now comes 10 levels later.

So I would mostly call it a nerf. Dunno how big this one is in the grand scheme of things but time will tell. Maybe it'll even be a overall buff but I highly doubt that. Most of Genjis damage comes from his abilities, not his autos. And he'll still be a squishy, even with the increased health.

But I suspect these changes are exactly the things most of the community deemed "frustrating": being his mobility and range (D, E and DB) so most ppl will probably be happy about these. Even though I presume these will drop his WR even more.

Ohh well, let's see where this goes, right? I for one am mostly pleased with this patch thanks to the QoL changes for Nydus and Bunker (so much yes for that).

As the recent Tracer Buff/Nerf showed, reducing mobility and uping cooldowns and then buffing health/dmg is generally a net buff.  Genji isn't even getting nerfed anywhere near as hard as Tracer was especially at lower levels of play so to give him dmg/health on top of that?  Yeah this is a buff for most of the HotS community.

I don't know, his DB 10 is nerfed significantly and his E has less range, worse escape and reach (secure potential). I like those changes.

This already better than sylvanas nerf. She get only 5 dmg and lose all ability to stun building. At least genji get more. That blizzard logic.

This is incorrect, did a ranked game yesterday, snowballed incredibly hard by stunning buildings with auto-attacks(only abilities don't stun buildings anymore)

I know syl attack still can stun building that why I say lose all "ability" to stun building only.

They should buff her hp and other ability for that.

Seems to me this is their first real attempt to nerf Genji. If this is a first step towards stopping Heroes of the Overwatch meta, it'll be clear soon™. We shall see (brother).

It's been a while since last Support release, hasn't it? Deckard seems pretty solid.

I don't really see a nerf. Need to be a little more patient but unlike Tracer you still have enormous range. You can still reset Swift Strike on a kill. You can still reset your X heroic on a kill in the later game as well. The resets are really where things go crazy. Similar to Fenix's Warp resets. Similar to Ming, Kerrigan, etc. So I don't really see a nerf here just yet.

The nerf to Genji's mobility and Drangon Blade is definitely more significant than the increase of his stats. I don't believe the increase of his health is big enough to affect his survivability. What we might actually see is probably a shift in playstyle and talent builds. The E build may not be totally unplayable but definitely more difficult in terms of management and much less forgiving for mistakes, and a lot less potential for magical/epic plays.  The Q/D build with X strike just seems much better now. This seems to be making sense since the E build Genji is probably the Genji that Blizzard think is "frustrating to play against"

      Ten years ago, the Nexus opened a realm between realms…where anything is possible. Over the years, you have braved this tumultuous universe, commanding some of the most legendary Heroes from across Azeroth, Sanctuary, the Koprulu sector, and future Earth. 

      It’s this community that has made Heroes of the Storm so special, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone alongside you. From now until the next patch on June 15, all Heroes will be free! Plus, everyone who logs in during this time will receive two brand-new portraits to showcase their time battling across the Nexus. Check out the patch notes for full details!

      We’re also excited to release a never-before-seen skin into the shop! In honor of Heroes of the Storm’s 10th anniversary, as well as Warcraft’s 30th, what better Hero skin to release from the vault than the one and only Thrall? Gear Head Thrall is now available through the in-game shop for 1500 Gems. And keep your eyes peeled—the Classic Games team is combing through the archives, searching for unreleased skins that would need some finishing touches for release, possibly bringing us more in the future.

      We know Heroes of the Storm means a lot to so many of you, and we cannot thank you enough for the passion you continue to show this game after an entire decade. From the Classic Games team and all of Blizzard, thank you!
      We’ll see you in the Nexus.
