PTR Patch Notes - April 22th 2019 [Anduin Release]

Can’t wait like your favorite talent, what has come to us?

“Anduin announcer”

So Sylvanas announcer is a never ever then right? Starting to wonder if the path her character has taken in the new expansion has to do with the VA retiring or something. It’s weird how much she must have been in the studio they haven’t snagged her for a bit.

Edit: I have no idea why this counts as a reply to you frosthawks. I didn’t hit the button.

Wow I’m totally, like literally “hyped” right now.

Although its nice to see a hero release

continuing the trend of new imbalanced healers with ZERO CONCERN FOR MANA MANAGEMENT

I can’t tell yet how his only weakness of having a cast time on heals will affect his gameplay, but his initial numbers seem to put many other healers to shame

his PROTECTED BTW ultimate seems imbalanced, but unlike Tyrael he is anchored to the point and easily susceptible to coordinated burst of damage as soon as the effect ends

yeah numbers are pretty busted but this is a first time we got cast time in hots so we dont know how it will work in pro games
and about the ult
it can be interupted when he already casted it coz its protected and also all people inside can be stunned or something
invulnerable is way better than protected but this ult bigger AOE and also heals so who knows
imagine medivhs mass protected its not that good

There was never a perfectly balanced hero release especially on the PTR, so old news tbh.

problem is
they never change things after PTR but 1week after live server

They gave Anduinn the Shadow Hunter’s ultimate from War3. Channel an ult that protects all nearby allies.

Incorrect, there has been multiple live patch notes where they change things from the PTR, these changes are marked in Orange.

very very few times happened i meant some big change
everyone knew maiev dmg is broken and they didnt nerf it they just removed armor from ptr

That taunt animation tho.

This means I may already know how to use it, if that’s the case.

Bold Strategy (level 1)

  • Anduin gains his other level 1 Talents, but Flash Heal’s cooldown is increased by 1 second.

Maybe I just need more time looking over his other talents but I don’t currently see a reason to pick anything else. Also he definitely isn’t immune to mana issues. Not nearly as bad as Uther, but he will run out over the course of a fight.

Is this real? omg lol, that’s interesting, I’ll surely give him a try on Wednesday

Call me a spammer, but here´s the full list:

Yeah I don’t see a reason to not go it. Even Renew has 5 second duration which matches the cooldown increase.

It is real! I guess you wouldn’t take it if you went for a flash heal build. Doing more digging through his talents.

You’re also picking up a talent that heals the lowest hp hero around you whenever you hit an enemy hero, so it’s not like you’re missing out by that one second increase.

Acceptable spam.

Yeah, from what I saw of his full talent tree there seems to be must picks in every tier, I hope they change that in the live patch,

Who wants someone like Mengsk when you can have… have… yawns… Anduin… snore.
