Heroes of the Storm Balance Patch Notes - February 1, 2022

Unrelated to the patch but, in case someone from Blizzard reads this, can we switch to Spring loots already? I know seasonal items are all available but, we keep getting winter loots with Christmas items, and the last 2 years we had those for way too long, until April/May. We know it can be done ingame without a patch so, please?

Also the free rotation has been locked for 3 weeks. Someone should look into that.

I think it will enhance him as a solo laner.

Basically an inferior version of Kerrigan’s talent which keeps her topped off at all times. If you can’t execute the enemy you probably wont engage in melee fight at all. Useful, but not game changing addition.

I’m with you on that. She wasn’t even that strong, at least not like how she was just after her rework.

Also no info on the constant update bug…

Well, for example, I choose my ultimate depending on the enemy healer. If, for example, Tyrande, Morales, then demons, any ult will do against Uther, but demons are better, and against AoE healers better not to take Azmodan at all, and it doesn’t matter whether devs weakened him or not.

That is an issue handled by a different team. I did see an announcement of a bnet update tomorrow, so maybe that will address it? Maybe? I can always hope…

I had not checked it myself but apparently the beta version of Bnet has this issue fixed.

To make Tracer’s crap recall talents more appealing, because they don’t know how to buff them yet. :joy:

At this point I feel like any attention to HotS from Blizzard is good attention so thank you for this. Hopefully the corporate overlords bring your content team back.

That is an impossibility. It’s like asking to make whatever is in the man’s room toilet more appealing than a one billion dollar donation.

Where is the Johana nerf?

Yes I agree. Wont make him broken but the hero used right is really powerful so this can make him having a high performance and can ultimately lead to a nerf like Gazlowe and pre rework WM

I dont have much fate in the devs after the cassia buffs

As far as I can see is the bug finally gone. But I haven’t restarted my PC yet. I’ve just closed Bnet completely and started HotS two times.

Oh no, it’s that time of the year again.

ā€œTwo to the one, from the one to the three, this is what we came up with what’s left of the HoTS team.ā€

Nice patch. Good to see Rehgar nerfs but doesn’t seem too extreme so maybe we can avoid a Zagara and Falstad with him.

I guess Johanna’s trait also secretly gives her Stealth since she just sneaked past this patch lol.

Probius has baseline CDR on Pylons but is it infinite? So can he technically have 0 CD Pylons? I mean it’ll only take like 20 ish minerals right?

Anyway I’m still here waiting for some Zagara changes.

we’re interested to see if direct synergy between Deep Roots and Revitalize helps those talents turn a new leaf.

Unless I’m being super carless mana is not enough of an issue to not take Dream…heck I’d even take tree man over deep roots…even if I’m being carless by 13 I’m not having mana problems…and even if I was having mana problems all game from level 1 to 20 I would get the level 13 but I’d still pass on deep roots.

It is not, sadly. Just experienced it.

I can only tell from my own experience. In my case it’s gone

Your looking at it wrong
Its his best talent, pale horse is nice for split pushing and getting to an objective faster. but on big maps a global is just stronger at getting to an objective faster and you need to come there fast , so half of the times your in the area before an objective

Fear the reaper is nice but it doesnt add a lot that W already can do.
If you have a reapers mark enemys are either running towards you or away from you.

W allows you to escape or gap close from a huge distance. (And its not a macro)

Wished they would buff black harvest and the nerf to memonto mori came as an suprise
