New Brawl: Blackheart’s Revenge

Captain Blackheart has shoved off in his ghost ship, Blackheart’s Revenge, to blow the docks to smithereens! Attack Blackheart’s ship to stop his assault and send him to a watery grave, or clear the path of enemies to defend him as he carries out his mission.

  • Blackheart’s Revenge is a new Arena Battleground that introduces attack/defend-style mechanics and asymmetric gameplay to Heroes of the Storm. Only the attacking team has a Core, and they must stop Blackheart before sails across the battleground to destroy it.
    • Shuffle Pick: Pick one of three randomly selected Heroes, and then duke it out against the enemy team to attack or defend Blackheart. 
    • Attack: The attacking team must gather cannonballs, load them into cannons that line the docks, and fire on Blackheart’s Revenge to sink the ship before it reaches their Core.
    • Defend: Kill attacking Heroes to prevent them from firing the cannons and see to it that Blackheart’s ship reaches the Core in-tact.
  • Click the Brawl Info button in the lower-left corner of the screen to learn detailed information about the currently active Brawl.

Revamped Tutorial

  • The Heroes of the Storm Tutorial has been reworked and split into two categories: Tutorial and Battleground Training.
    • The Tutorial covers the basics of how to play Heroes of the Storm, including combat, team leveling, Talents, and Mercenary Camps.
    • Battleground Training acquaints players with the importance of Battleground Objectives.
  • Players can now play through the Tutorial and Battleground Training using three different Heroes: Jaina, Muradin, and Tyrande.
  • Revisit the Tutorials or Challenges at any time by opening the Main Menu (ESC) and clicking the Tutorials or Challenges buttons.

Free Hero Promotion Changes

  • The free Heroes offered by a promotion that began earlier this year have been replaced by Jaina, Muradin, and Tyrande in order to better accommodate new players who have just completed the Heroes of the Storm tutorial missions.
  • Returning players who did not already claim a free Hero prior to today’s patch will now be able to add Jaina, Muradin, or Tyrande to their collections.
    • Those who already own all three of these Heroes, and did not claim a free Hero prior to today’s patch, will instead receive 4,000 gold.
    • Players who already claimed a free Hero prior to today’s patch will not be able to pick a second free Hero.

Design & Gameplay

Damage Mitigation Effects

  • Resistant and Vulnerable effects now stack additively with one another, up to a maximum of 75% Resitance and 25% Vulnerability.
Developer Comments:   Lead Designer Matt Cooper posted the design team's thoughts on this change in the forums. Click here to read his post.

Stealth

  • Abilities that reveal Stealthed/Cloaked Heroes will no longer remove the Stealth/Cloak effect, but will instead temporarily reveal the cloaked Hero.
  • The following talents now function while under the effects of Stealth granted by another player (ex: Tyrande’s Shadowstalk):
    • Nova
      • Tactical Espionage
      • Advanced Cloaking
      • Covert Ops
    • Samuro
      • Way of the Wind
      • Harsh Winds
Developer Comments:  Some revealers, like Oracle from Tassadar and now Scouting Drone, are very binary in their ability to reveal Heroes, by design. But their purpose is to provide scouting and position of the enemy, and not to negate the effects of Talents or Abilities that rely on Stealth to provide their benefit. While examining these conditional Talents, we decided that it would be more interesting to allow synergies between external sources of Stealth these Talents. We like that choices like Tyrande’s Shadowstalk or Medivh’s Invisibility become more interesting if you have allies that gain additional benefits from Stealth on your team.

Illidan

Divider_Hero_Illidan_Crop.png

Talents

  • Level 1
    • Unending Hatred (Passive)
      • Increased Basic Attack damage bonus upon quest completion from 10 to 20
    • Battered Assault (W)
      • Added functionality:
        • Now also increases the duration of Sweeping Strike from 3 to 5 seconds
      • Increased the bonus damage gained from hitting 2+ Heroes with Sweeping Strike from 125 to 150%
  • Level 4
    • Unbound (W)
      • No longer reduces the cooldown of Sweeping Strike
      • Added Functionality:
        • Quest: After hitting 30 Heroes with Sweeping Strike, gain a second charge of Sweeping Strike
  • Level 7
    • Thirsting Blade (Trait)
      • Increases healing amount of 50 to 60%
  • Level 16
    • Marked for Death (Q)
      • Damage reduced from 225 to 180
Developer Comments:  We’re aiming to make a few of the earlier talent choices for Illidan more competitive options, and open up a greater variety of playstyles for Illidan players. By increasing the bonus of Unending Hatred, we think farming Minion waves and Hunting into fights will be enticing on certain Battlegrounds. By allowing Unbound to grant 2 charges of Sweeping Strike, we think that Talents like Battered Assault and Blades of Azzinoth will showcase an Illidan that can dance across an enemy team and do a lot of damage while doing so.

Raynor

Divider_Hero_Raynor_Crop.png

Abilities

  • Adrenaline Rush (E)
    • Now displays a visual effect under Raynor's feet to indicate that Adrenaline Rush is off cooldown

     Return

Thrall

Divider_Hero_Thrall_Crop.png

      • Now deals 50 damage to Heroes with each pulse (will now trigger Frostwolf Resilience)
  • Sundering (R)
    • Stun duration reduced from 1.25 to 1 seconds
Developer Comments:  We have mentioned before that sometimes we will stubbornly hold on making balance changes to some Heroic abilities because we believe they are actually very powerful in their current form, even if they are not currently seeing much play. This has been the case with Earthquake, but Sunder has consistently been the go-to pick since Thrall’s inception. We hope this change will help shake up the pick rates of Thrall’s Heroic abilities.

        • Enemies are slowed by 50% for 3 seconds once Void Prison Ends.

Developer Comments:  There were two main goals behind this rework: Upgrade Zeratul’s talent tree and introduce some interesting new choices, and better sell the fantasy of being a Dark Templar. As always is the goal with our Hero reworks, we didn’t want to change the way he is played, but rather amplify and improve upon it. Overall, he has felt the same to play against in our internal testing, but with a couple new tricks up his sleeve. We hope that our current Zeratul fans will find some new toys to play around with, and that new users will feel more like the mobile shadow-assassin you’d expect from a Dark Templar Hero.

Developer Comments:  Kharazim’s Talents have been updated to create more compelling choices at every tier. To do this, we’ve made sure that Iron Fists / Bruiser style Kharazim is viable by increasing its damage uptime, removed a lot of the generic Talents and replaced them with Kharazim specific options like Mystic Allies, and re-arranged a lot of the tree so that you don’t have to sacrifice as much healing to pick mobility, utility or damage.

Developer Comments:  We realize that we have a lot of Leoric players that are looking for talent changes and calling for buffs (especially to Skeletal Swing). We want you to know that we actively hear you and although this art-driven change came a bit earlier than our other changes, you spooky skeleton players should be able to rejoice in a future patch.
