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.

- Models no longer randomly T-pose in replay mode.
- Leoric no longer spawns a tower when he dies, again.
- Multiple fixes for UI in replay mode.
- Several AI fixes and improvements.
But I would think at least the balance notes are for real?
It’s cool though coz I love this patch!
