Wie durch die Ankündigungen auf der Blizzcon 2017 und die auf dieser Messe getroffenen Aussagen der Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment nicht anders zu erwarten war, starteten die Entwickler in der vergangenen Nacht nun endlich die Testphase für den nächsten größeren Content Patch für Heroes of the Storm auf ihrem öffentlichen Testserver.

Um die möglicherweise an diesen Tests teilnehmenden Personen auf eine möglichst simple Weise über alle in dieser kommenden Spielversion enthaltenen Neuerungen und Änderungen zu informieren, veröffentlichte das Entwicklerteam im Verlauf der letzten Nacht netterweise auch wieder offizielle PTR-Patchnotes auf ihrer Communityseite. Laut dieser äußerst informativen Übersicht bringt dieser vermutlich bereits in der nächsten Woche in allen Spielregionen erscheinende Patch unter anderem mehrere Fehlerbehebungen, den neuen spielbaren Helden „Alexstrasza“, das neue Ingame Event „Drachen des Nexus“, viele neue kosmetische Inhalte für den Shop und umfangreiche Anpassungen an Lili mit sich. Die genauen Auswirkungen dieses Updates könnt ihr euch in den folgenden Patchnotes bei Interesse selbst durchlesen.

New Hero: Alexstrasza

Alexstrasza, the queen of dragons, was empowered by the titans to be the guardian of all life on Azeroth. She has aided mortals time and again, even at great personal cost. Now, she soars across the Nexus, protecting life wherever she finds it.

Trait

  • Dragonqueen
    • After 1.25 seconds, transform into a dragon and gain 500 Health. While Dragonqueen is active, Alexstrasza’s Basic Abilities are empowered, her Basic Attacks deal 143 damage and heal allied Heroes for 43 in an arc in front of her, and the duration of incoming Slows, Roots, Blinds, and Stuns is reduced by 50%. Lasts 15 seconds.

 

Basic Abilities

  • Gift of Life (Q)
    • Sacrifice 15% of Alexstrasza’s current Health, healing an ally for 150% of that amount.
    • Dragonqueen: Breath of Life cooldown greatly reduced and does not cost Health.
  • Abundance (W)
    • Plant a seed of healing that blooms after 3 seconds, healing nearby allied Heroes for 20% of their maximum Health.
    • Dragonqueen: Preservation heal area and amount greatly increased.
  • Flame Buffet (E)
    • Launch a fireball, Burning enemies hit for 75 damage over 5.5 seconds.Hitting enemies that are already Burning deals 125 bonus damage upon impact, Slows them by 40% decaying over 2 seconds, and refunds the Mana cost.
    • Dragonqueen: Wing Buffet damage and Knockback enemies in an arc.

 

Heroic Abilities

  • Life-Binder (R)
    • Bind Alexstrasa’s life force with an allied Hero. After 2 seconds, the Hero with a lower percentage of Health is set to the same Health percentage as the other Hero..
  • Cleansing Flame (R)
    • After 1.25 seconds, take to the sky and drop fireballs at the position of your mouse cursor every 1.2 seconds for 6 seconds. Each fireball restores 300 Health to nearby allied Heroes, and deals 150 damage to nearby enemies.2 seconds after dropping all fireballs, Alexstrasza lands at the position of your mouse cursor.

 

AI

General

    • Greymane
    • Johanna
    • Ragnaros
    • Rehgar
    • Rexxar
    • Valeera
    • Zarya

 

Art

Heroes, Abilities, and Talents

  • Li Li has received updated visual effects to coincide with Talent changes.
  • Sgt. Hammer’s Basic Attacks during Siege Mode now better convey area of effect damage.

 

Battlegrounds

Bloodlust Brawl

  • All Minions, Mercs, and the Dragon Knight now have permanent Bloodlust.
    • Developer Comment: When looking at this Brawl, we really love the Bloodlust buff. By powering up the Players and the Dragon Knight so much, the poor Minions really struggled to provide much value during the Brawl. In order to bring them up to speed with their Mercenary buddies, we’ve decided that all Minions could use permanent Bloodlust as well.
