Those of you wondering why there were no Sgt. Hammer balance fixes. Itā€™s because none could be made to the characterā€¦

ā€¦you canā€™t improve on Perfection :grin:

Thatā€™s a lot of bugs. Some personal takes:

  • Murky slime now revealing is nice
  • Apparently Samuro was balanced around having unlimited self-ancestrals
  • Hope Nazeebo is ranked very hard as Iā€™m tired seeing people play him like he has no trait

Itā€™s not the Reveal status effect, it just shows their location on hit confirm through fog of war. Most abilities do that already, theyā€™re just applying it consistently across the board.

MicroBlizz, please bring back HotS!

Polish up the engine, make it run well on Xbox, and youā€™ll have a hit!

Itā€™s exactly what I thought it was. For example when you kite an enemy hero with Garrosh around the three trees next to the healing dummy. Even when you turn off minion waves to get rid of vision for better results Arthas is stuck in a follow command loop, chasing you around.

In the new patch if you Decimate while neither hero sees the other, but manage to hit him through the wall, the ability does not apply a red icon above the enemy hero (as would be the case with true Revealed - owl, moonfire etc), but instead of only briefly showing Arthas hero model the moment he takes damage (currently it is close to maybe half of a second long), this effect instead persists for somewhere close to two seconds, which is completely ridiculous for obvious reasons.

It completely ruins the whole minigame of using bushes or blocking line of sight to evade or trick your opponents. You have to try for yourself to see how bad this really is.

The flirty cloud just couldnā€™t wait for this announcemnt :smiley:

Anyway this is an even bigger patch than the last one, who was already more important than the previous one. The twitter account of the game has been reactiveted to promote it. Honestly if Blizzard has no plan at all for the game, it would be a massieve troll
