In der vergangenen Nacht veröffentlichte das Entwicklerteam von Heroes of the Storm einen neuen Blogeintrag auf ihrer offiziellen Internetseite, der die Community dieses Team Brawlers darüber in Kenntnis setzen sollte, dass in dieser Woche ein neues Spielbalance-Update erscheinen soll. Damit die Spieler sich schon jetzt ein Bild von allen geplanten Änderungen machen können, beinhaltete die Ankündigung der Entwickler netterweise eine umfangreiche Liste mit allen aktuell geplanten Anpassungen an den spielbaren Helden dieses Titels. Des Weiteren sind diese kommenden Veränderungen schon jetzt auf dem öffentlichen Testserver von Heroes of the Storm aktiv, weshalb daran interessierte Personen sich schon jetzt ganz genau anschauen können, was für Auswirkungen diese Anpassungen auf das Spiel haben werden. In den folgenden englischen Patchnotes könnt ihr selbst durchlesen, was für Veränderungen in diesem Update enthalten sind.

We’re about to release a new Heroes of the Storm patch to apply a number of balance changes and bug fixes. Read on for details. NOTE: These changes are already playable on the PTR, and will be released as a separate balance patch later this week.

Heroes of the Storm Balance Patch Notes – October 10, 2018

Heroes

Assassin

Cassia

Abilities

• Lightning Fury (Q)
  • Damage scaling reduced from 4.5% per level to 4% per level

Talents

• Level 7
  • Surge of Light (Trait)
    • Damage reduced from 225 to 210

Junkrat

Stats

• Basic Attack damage increased from 110 to 116

Abilities

• Concussion Mine (W)
  • ​Now shows its area of effect to enemies upon being launched
  • Range increased from 10 to 10.5​

Developer Comment: While we like the awesome plays that Junkrat can make by throwing enemies into his team with Concussion Mine, the ability is fairly hard to see coming for opponents for how powerful it is.  To help this, we are showing enemies its area of effect the moment that Junkrat throws the mine so that they have a better chance to reposition themselves before being blown up.  To compensate Junkrat, we are slightly increasing its range and giving him more Basic Attack damage, which should help both his waveclear and teamfight capabilities.

Kerrigan

Stats

• Health increased from 1680 to 1764
• Health Regeneration increased from 3.5 to 3.675

Abilities

• Assimilation (Trait)
  • Shield amount reduced from 15% to 10% of damage dealt

    • Maximum damage bonus decreased from 150% to 100%
• ​​​​​​Level 7

    • Cooldown reduction increased from 4 to 6 second per enemy hit by Primal Grasp
• ​​​​​​​​Level 13
  • Volatile Power (Trait)
    • Bonus shields reduced from 15% to 10%
• ​​​​​​​​Level 16
  • Painful Spikes (W)
    • Damage reduced from 75 to 70
• ​​​​​​​​Level 20
  • Omegastorm (R1)
  • Bonus duration per tick increased from .125 to .1875

​Developer Comment: Kerrigan has one build that is particularly powerful at the moment, and these changes aim to bring her back in line with the rest of the cast.  We’ve also made a change to her baseline Assimilation to revert it to it’s previous levels, as her overall survivability is a little higher than desired from a melee assassin.
