Here come the April Fools PTR patch notes that were posted on the official forums by Sami. The amount of time spent on them to make them look legit is really crazy and I can very well imagine some of the changes going live in the game. Read on for details!

Nexus Anomalies

Nexus Anomalies are seasonal gameplay changes that directly affect all game modes in Heroes of the Storm. These events will last the entire season, allowing us time to receive feedback on them. Depending on this evaluation, some of them may become permanent additions to the game, while others may just be a limited time event.

The second Nexus Anomaly has arrived! In order to make game experiences better for the majority, we’re changing how Quick Match works since its our current most played mode. Players will no longer be able to queue to any hero they desire and instead play Unranked draft.

Quick Match

  • Renamed to Draft Match.
  • Players will no longer be able to queue with any hero they want, instead they will be sent to a draft where they have to pick their heroes before the game starts.

Unranked

  • Removed.

The Abathur and Azmodan patch notes were pretty funny. A Slapathur build and an Azmodan who can hit and run.

The thought that the devs would actually finally replace Mule with something organic is also hilarious.

That would make too much sense. So, never going to happen.
