Heroes of the Storm hotfixes for May 27
@faience
Open beta’s in full swing and we’re only a few days from the official release of Heroes of the Storm on June 2 — so it makes sense that Blizzard is applying a final bit of polish before the big day. Today’s hotfixes are mostly bug fixes, including a nerf to Kael’Thas’ Living Bomb, which could previously be used to wipe out a cluster of opponents, a fix anyone not playing Kael’Thas is sure to appreciate. For all the details, check the full list of hotfixes below.
