Hey now, let's be real, she may not be getting a rework, but that doesn't mean they won't get bored and nerf her anyway. Didn't Chen get randomly nerfed at one point a few months ago?

Realistically speaking, the Heroes devs say stuff and come up with "new plans" on how to treat the game from time to time, and they stick with it for a few months and then give up again. The only consistent thing they have really said they would do and then done long-term is stick to the new hero every 3-4 weeks, only missing it a few times.

Kerri is super strong but nobody seems to mind. She actually got a nerf at the same time as the chen nerf because her infernal shrine interaction was dumb... but Q build sucks anyways so it really doesn't matter.

Plebs complain about her diversity but she has two real picks on every talent tier except level 4 (Ultralisk is real). But some people see the word "envenom" and start foaming at the mouth.

If she got a rework she'd probably end up nerfed (especially fury of the swarm) because she's quite often a little stronger than the devs tend to be comfortable with.

I just checked the client:

Leoric, Muradin, Garrosh, Medivh, Johanna, Malfurion **And D.Va** only have 1 apiece.

Anub'Arak, Gazlowe, Rexxar only have 1 and it's regen master. Kelthuzad has phylactery.

Artanis, Raynor only have seasoned marksman.

TLV, the Butcher, have their traits but no quest talents.

Non-quest-havers:
Rehgar
Abathur
Tyrael
LiLi
Kerrigan
Sgt Hammer
Nova
Brightwing
Sylvanas
Li Ming
Lunara
Sonya

e: for reference, the 1 talent folks have:

Garrosh: Groundbreaker damage, CDR on completion
Leoric: stacking attack speed on minion/hero kills
Muradin: Storm bolt damage on hero hit
Johanna: Punish slow+
Medivh: Master's Touch
Malfurion: stacking roots treant damage

Not sure how Chen isn’t #1 with a bullet on their rework list but I’m all right with all those proposals generally.

Has anyone tried Zeratul this patch with the buffs? I was gonna give him a run tonight with the cleave build probably.

I @ed McIntyre on YT and Twitter about this earlier today, actually. Since they shifted power from follow thru to abilities, I expect unloading and wormholing out will be more burst than before, which is pretty :getin:

Only thing stopping me is proper maps and comps. I'll give you feedback after tonight; I'm sure to shoehorn him in somehow :cheers:

Dear Illidan players: When Murky's egg is killed he's revealed on the map until he can place a new one. You may think to yourself that this is the perfect opportunity to use The Hunt on him, when he's at his potentially most vulnerable. However, bear in mind that you should probably make sure that Murky's four other teammates aren't nearby when you dive in across the map alone and unsupported, and also remember that Murky has an ability which renders him briefly invulnerable to everything, including The Hunt.

I think they are saying when you are killed, you drop 1 coin whether or not you are actually holding one, like on Spider Queen you drop 3 gems. Any coins in excess of that disappear.
