Art

Heroes, Abilities, and Talents
  • Diablo: Diablo and Archangel Diablo’s Abilities have received updated visual effects to coincide with Ability and Talent changes.
  • Garrosh: Garrosh’s Abilities have received updated visual effects.
  • Malfurion: A new leaf icon and timer will now appear above Regrowth targets’ nameplates to indicate remaining Heal duration.
    • The icon and timer will change color based on Regrowth’s remaining Heal duration: from green to yellow at 10 seconds remaining, and then to red during the last 5 seconds.

User Inteface

MVP Screen
  • Players can no longer vote for themselves on the end of match awards screen.
    • This should help encourage players to spread the love by commending others for their epic plays!
  • The number of votes required to achieve epic and legendary commendations on the end of match awards screen have each been reduced by one vote.
    • This has been done to account for the removal of self-voting. Previously, a self-vote could often make the difference for a player who was one vote shy of reaching epic or legendary status.
Loot Chests
  • The Loot Chest carousel on the Loot screen now automatically switches to a Loot Chest type the player already owns, rather than always defaulting to Rare Loot Chests.

Design

General
  • Holding right-click and dragging the cursor to move is no longer interrupted when entering targeting mode prior to casting an Ability.
Movement Speed Visual Effects
  • Visual effects for Movement Speed bonuses and Slows will now only display on units whose Movement Speeds are being increased or decreased by more than 5%.
    • Previously, a Hero could display these visual effects even if their Movement Speed hadn’t been significantly altered. This could occur as a result of multiple stacking Movement Speed bonuses and Slows, or due to a stacking Quest Talent.

Battlegrounds

Custom Games
  • Hanamura has been temporarily removed from Custom Games.
Developer Comment: Development on Hanamura is still going smoothly. Unfortunately, it seems all of the noisy construction has irritated the Mega Enforcer who has captured several of our designers and artists. We need to take bring this Battleground offline while we negotiate for their safe release.
Mercenaries
  • Infernal Shrines
    • The Khazra at the southernmost Mercenary Camp on Infernal Shrines now move into lane once they are captured, rather than path around the lane to attack opposing structures directly.

Assassin

Lunara

Developer Comment: Our goals for Lunara’s rework are twofold: first, we want to add some gameplay to Wisp and consolidate its related talents into something more interesting. We also want to give Lunara more potential playstyles, which we’re doing by adding some new powerful talents into her tree. Because we added so much more power into her talents, we had to reduce her baseline power by a marginal amount to compensate. We’ve had a blast with Lunara in our internal playtests, and we’re excited to release her new and improved version into the wild!

Developer Comment: Diablo's update aims to give the Lord of Terror more control over his kit and add fun new gameplay without compromising his core identity in the Nexus. We're putting the power in the hands of Diablo players by allowing them to target their Fire Stomps and allowing multiple fire waves to hit the same Hero to help execute the perfect combo. We're adding self-healing to Fire Stomp so that Diablo has a way to maintain his health beyond relying on a Support to heal him. Shadow Charge now grants increased Movement Speed to reduce situations where enemies are just beyond Overpower’s reach after charging in. Diablo’s level 4 Talents all allow him to collect souls in new ways, so he can still get the most out of his Trait during low takedown games. There is also a spiderweb of fun synergies and interactions between the Talents in his tree, so we're excited to see what creative combinations players will latch onto.

Wombo combo Shadow Charge everything to death had to end someday. No one likes front lining against something that strips half their hp away in one stun lock.

Really excited for Lunara (don't play Diablo and don't plan to) tho I fear the dot damage increase path will become the dominant (and only) one.

When I first read the talents description, I had a feeling that Unfair AdvantageUnfair Advantage + Intensifying Toxin would be a nightmarish combination. The horrors... Haven't been able to test it yet, games are ending prior to level 20 (in one it was so close but Core went down :c )

I will have to look closer at the talents but it seems she got a dmg nerf. To people who rarely met Lunara may seem like she has dmg but look at this patch: she has lower attack speed, has requirements etc.
