D.Va and more hit the Heroes of the Storm PTR

Mondays are always a bit of a drag, but at least you have something to look forward to after work with a new Heroes of the Storm PTR build. The headliner of this build is new hero D.Va, and though we’ve already seen a preview of her in action, now you can test her out yourself.

But D.Va isn’t the only hero change coming to the game. This week’s PTR build features a bunch of balance tweaks plus big reworks for Alarak and Tyrande. Whether you love the changes or hate them, they’re likely to be in game next week. But while we wait for this to hit the live servers, check out the full patch notes below — and hop on the PTR tonight to check out the changes in person and offer feedback.

Developer Comment:  Your Highlord has returned! Alarak has received a large update that he has deemed “acceptable”, targeted at making him more rewarding for players who take the time to master him.  Baseline changes include reworking his Sadism to be increased upon getting Takedowns and putting bonus damage into his Lightning Surge baseline for hitting enemies in its center beam.  We’re also experimenting with some new talent ideas with Extended Lightning and Chaos Reigns, where players can gain huge benefits for the rarely accomplished feat of hitting 3 enemy Heroes with a single ability.

Developer Comments:  While we’re happy that we’re seeing more Lili due to her recent buffs, they have gone a bit far in making the hero too powerful, particularly in double-support compositions. We’re reverting part of her Blinding Wind buff, and reducing the power of her Cloud Serpent so that she is not putting out quite as much damage in games.

Developer Comment:  During one of our design meetings many months ago, we came to the consensus that we wanted to swap the heal functionality between Tyrande and Uther. It felt like the self-heal mechanic was better suited on a front-line melee Healer, so we gave it to our favorite paladin in his latest rework. Instead of simply removing functionality from Light of Elune, we decided to add a large amount of cooldown reduction with every Basic Attack. This will reward players that can stay in combat and has allowed us to shift some of her power from healing output into more utility and offensive-based areas. Overall, we are extremely excited to see what our players can do with her new kit and look forward to hearing any feedback you have!

Developer Comment:  These changes are based primarily on win and pick rates of some of Dehaka’s talent tiers. We removed some unpopular talents and combined a few others to make them more attractive.
