Developer Blizzard Entertainment rolled out a new patch for the live servers of MOBA Heroes of the Storm. The update consists of general changes, balance enhancements and bug fixes. You can find the full patch notes on the official site or proceed down below for some of the most interesting general changes. The full list of changes goes into detail on hero-by-hero basis.
Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard Entertainment’s entry into the MOBA genre. Players are able to choose from a roster of heroes coming from various titles of the company, including but not limited to Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo. The team moved Heroes of the Storm into a maintenance mode in 2022, affirming that the game has no more active development. The servers will remain operational with the seasonal rolls and hero rotations. Future patches will primarily focus on client sustainability and bug fixing, with balance updates coming as needed.
