to clarify on the Slapathur, the Stun proc has the cooldown, not the boosted damage. And the proc is timed on the target, not on Abathur, so you can still stun multiple targets, and now heroes, just not completely chain-stun them like he did in the previous version.

You still chain stun non-heroes. You coul’t stun heroes at all on the previous PTR patch.

You can no longer stun the core. That was ultra overpowered.
