In der vergangenen Nacht haben die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment ein neues Balance Update für Heroes of the Storm auf den aktuell laufenden öffentlichen Testserver dieses Titels aufgespielt und gleichzeitig damit dann auch wieder einen Blogeintrag mit den Patchnotes auf ihrer offiziellen Communityseite veröffentlicht. Dabei brachte dieser für den PTR bestimmte Patch neben einigen weiteren Fehlerbehebungen dann hauptsächlich Änderungen am Balancing mit sich, die dann sowohl die spielbaren Charaktere als auch einige der Spielfelder von Heroes of the Storm betreffen. Ansonsten wird dieses neue Update die Liveserver von Heroes of the Storm zusammen mit den restlichen Inhalten aus dem im Moment auf dem Testserver vorhandenen Patch dann am 13. September 2016 erreichen.
