There is a dev post on Blizzard that details what is currently worked on, emphasis on things that were not clear being worked on/coming up by me:
New Content (Heroes, Skins, Mounts, Sprays)
Battleground Changes
Storm League Seasons
Hero Reworks
Game System Changes
Balance Updates
ARAM Mode
Auto Requeue
Hero Mastery Identifications
Maybe those game systems changes are purely internal, but maybe there are mechanic changes or new mechanics coming.
Hero Mastery Identifications will probably by my personal guess be something visual and permanently visible, as many complained babout the loss of the skins as identifier.
This is probably something I asked about 2 AMAs ago. Something about having the mastery show at the end of the game in the mvp screen. Maybe a new system for the mastery taunts.
I would rather guess that it will be something that tells other players from the start of the game/during the game that the player has quite some experience with the hero.
thank you very much that’s exactly what keeps me playing the game just give me more skins and i’ll never leave even if i’m the last one standing! skins keeps me alive actually not even kidding i swear.
I will be playing this game as long as the developer team can promise us content updates that are both ridiculously high in quality while interacting as much as they can with their small community by keeping them updated on what their future plans are.
If that is team only until the end of the match then it’s fine, otherwise I can see people complaining about how the enemy team has more players with higher level heroes than them and all that stuff…
I have long wanted them to include enemy chat in the replays, as they do with enemy pings. If seeing my high level heroes from the start can set the salt mine on fire from the beginning, it is worth it.
Then i can watch some fun replay, enjoy the enemy chat and listen to this in the background:
The announcements for AMAs, game updates and all the other pinned threads are actually exclusive to here and only get linked back on reddit. At least for half a year or so by now.
All the answers on reddit stay below of the original post, so it’s easier to track what is being discussed and what was said.
And you can easily track what the devs are saying because on topics they are marked by “Blizzard response” or something like that, and for AMAs you can just click on the devs profiles in the AMA original post and find all their answers. It’s pretty easy.
Blizzard should just hire a CM to make a summary of everything that was talked in the AMA and post on their official blog tbh.
