Heroes: Kommende Anpassungen an Nova und Rehgar

Im Verlauf des heutigen Abends haben die Entwickler von Heroes of the Storm offiziell über Twitter und in den Battle.Net Foren angekündigt, dass der in der nächsten Woche für diesen Team Brawler erscheinende neue Patch neben dem spielbaren Charakter „Xul“ dann auch noch einige Anpassungen am Balancing der Helden Nova und Rehgar mit sich bringen wird. Dabei wollen die Entwickler mit diesem Update dann eine der Spielweisen der Assassinin Nova ein wenig verstärken, während der Unterstützer Rehgar dann leider erneut in einigen Bereichen generfed werden soll. Die genauen Anpassungen an diesen beiden Charakteren und die Erklärungen der Entwickler könnt ihr euch in dem weiter unten eingebauten Bluepost der Entwickler durchlesen.

Nova

Snipe (Q)

• Damage increased from 295 (+4% per level) to 310 (+4% per level)
• Snipe Master (Talent)
  • Damage bonus per stack increased from 12% to 15%. This effect can still stack up to 5 times

Developer Comment: We are continuing to tune Snipe Master to make it a more attractive choice, assuming you are consistently landing your Snipes.

Rehgar

Lightning Shield (W)

• Electric Charge (Talent)
  • Bonus to Lightning Shield radius decreased from 33% to 25%
  • Stormcaller (Talent)
    • No longer increases Lightning Shield duration
• Earthshield (Talent)
  • Shield amount reduced from 15% to 12% of the target’s maximum Health

Ancestral Healing (R)

• Cooldown increased from 80 to 100 seconds

Bloodlust (R)

• Mana cost reduced from 125 to 75

Developer Comment: The initial round of Rehgar nerfs weren’t quite enough to bring his winrate down to a level that we think is healthy. We like that his base kit feels powerful, so we are aiming to reduce the synergy between his Lightning Shield Talents. We are also increasing Ancestral Healing’s cooldown to better reflect the healing power it brings to a teamfight. The Bloodlust Mana change is simply a quality of life improvement. Overall, we enjoy how Rehgar plays right now, and are excited to see him bring other Heroes, such as Illidan, back into prominence. With that in mind, we’re aiming to cautiously nerf Rehgar over time as we bring this Shaman in line with other Healers.
