In July, Blizzard Entertainment returned to Heroes of the Storm and introduced update 2.55.17. Players could already get acquainted with it on a special PTR server, and now it has been released.
The developers added some cosmetic content to Heroes of the Storm — a new skin "Ruby Lucio-Synesthete".
Changes affected some maps; for example, on "Hanamura Temple", the developers decided to add additional vegetation in several places. In addition, balance adjustments were made again — as usual, some character characteristics are reviewed, and skill parameters are changed. In particular, Diablo's Q and E abilities will now deal more damage.
The full description of update 2.55.17 for Heroes of the Storm is available at the following link. The developers have not yet provided a translation of the patch notes into Russian.
This year, Blizzard Entertainment will briefly revive esports for Heroes of the Storm as part of a nostalgic event — a special show match will be held, paying tribute to the HOTS Global Championship (2018).
