The Heroes of the Storm developers have presented update 2.55.16 for the MOBA game. Previously, players were able to test it on a special PTR server.
Blizzard removed the Unranked Draft mode from HOTS (Unranked Mode) from the game.
- Hero respawn time has been reduced in the mid and late stages of the game. By level 22, respawn time is once again 65 seconds.
- The music in the main menu and launch menu has been updated.

Some other changes:
