There is some HotS dev hidden in a closet just tik tik tik typing away. He's been there since he interned that one summer and just never left. Sneaks out at night and raids the fridge for leftovers.
Porky is right in that eye of the tiger isn't great in teamfights because any amount of focus makes chen crumble without CDs, but two things: 60% heal from AA while eott is active might be great sustain. And for two, they're buffing a build path which I believe is already Chen's most popular: AA 1 and 4, but taking gift of the ox at 7 means you can be unkillable for a huge chunk of a teamfight, then storm earth fire to wipe all that stagger damage. Eott buff means that chen automatically wins solo lane, which he should in most matchups already. idk the eott buff makes Stormstout Secret Recipe redundant, that should have been the buffed talent on this tier.
The spell shield buff on Thrall is pretty huge. A normal spell shield is 50 armor for 3 sec on a 30 sec cooldown. Thrall had a 50 armor 4 second shield every 45 sec, but with 10 sec cooldown reduction everytime he procs his heal. It was already a good talent as it solves some of his problems against burst damage, and combos well with either E talents at 4. Now it's 70 armor ? Damn.
I wish they'd roll the 2 of Chen's lvl 13 talents into 1. I am referring to A Touch of Honey and Ring of Fire. Buffing the individual components of the combo is so lack-luster. Similar vein to when they merged both of Leorics W talents at 20.
I've just been checking out HotS for patches lately, and here it is! So cool! My own groundbreaking idea would be - what if you could choose a talent from any previous tier, would that bring in more talent diversity? - Adûnâi
I think im seeing a trend of pushing Duelist offlaners into the spotlight. Qhira, Arthas, and now Chen and Thrall (arguably THE 2 poster children for duelists). Honestly im excited to see this new change in the meta where people can pick an offlane that holds down their lane instead of a double soaker
13:20 ye valla changes really had a big effect, remember when she got 10% more bulk? just her hp got buffed one time and she wennt from low A-B Tier to S-Tier Firstpick material
@@FanHOTSnope, that effect lingers! Which is why it was so oppressive and got the nerf. It says reduce for 3 seconds, that means after leaving oil it's 3 seconds.
@@FanHOTS this 3 sec effect lingers after leaving, with throwing range 10 made this talent very annoying to play against (can be used to mura clap AA carry from anywhere multiple times in a row)
cassia and blaze are both my worst winrate heroes so they getting nerfed for me is wild, but i know nothing about ranked hots, in my region its almost impossible to find a match there so i just quickmatch
Infinite Lightning is infinitely getting nerfed and buffed and nerfed again. I also agree it removed fun the first time they nerfed it and it removes fun again.
Infinite lightning balls with Cassia its such a fun thing to see, even if you are the one receiving it, still looks fun/cool and everyone know its not "OP", this is the kind of anti fun changes that we should avoid in the game.
2:10 now you said that leon's gonna remember that n be salty about it for the next 2 years lol I watch him I do like him but sometimes I can't handle the way he lose his mind that fast
Not only they didnt remove same hero aram, but they made it worse? LMAO! Are they aware that every match multiple people are leaving to dodge same hero matches?
Nothing for me to come back for. Maybe some medivh rework/change could make me comeback bc medivh was only hero I played for last few months. Not that i was good medivh I just couldn't enjoy anything else towards the end.
Cassia buff? Wasn't she among the strongest dps heroes already? Also, that buff on Valla's strafe is ridiculously big. 10 base damage per bolt, and then the extra scaling damage, when she can fire up to 33 bolts. Also, I never met a Hanzo that picked giant slayer. Most people play his sucky Q build anyway, or just go AA. But hey, small buff to high hp heroes I guess along with the manticore nerf.
Istalled, searched ranked for 5 mins at my platlands, got full team of 2weeks old smurfs up to 87%WR , unistalled. I just cant enjoy this sht in overall good game anymore. In EU smurfs in EVERY game and ever one of them sometymes can win by himself.
This is not the same Blizzard that made this game. This company is completely inept, shallow, thoughtless, greedy and most importantly not concerned with how good their games are in the least.

What an absolute hero
@@FanHOTSMaybe he was the real hero of the storm the whole time?
lololol 1000% good to see hots patches come out its wild. Just wish ranked queue times weren't nuts
He was not told by his superiors that development on HotS ended.
Yes! Give me some more of that hopium!
Wow, I just came back to HOTS after 8 years. Fell in love with Blaze, and now they nerf him! Perfect :D
man it feels good to see changes, even if its mostyl/just balance changes.
hope returns!
AN UPDATE?!? Bliz really does love us
At least the one underpaid intern does.
funny that theres Hots updates since microsoft acquisition

Summary:
Buffs: Chen(huge, to AA build), Thrall (huge)
Nerfs: Blaze (slightly), Vala (decent, to AA build), Meph (tiny)

Cool in theory but would be a nightmare to balance, and the game has no active development. :)
Holy fuck what is this Chen buff? That level one increase your healing from auto by like 80%. That was sooo not needed lmaoo
60%

Now when you stack Thrall's lvl4 Frostwolf pack (W) it would be 5sec cd instead of 6.
IT MUST BE EASTER CUZ GREEN JESUS IS BACK.... AND CONFIRMED THICC
New green Jesus player here, I'll take the thicc buffs!
Can you make guidebook new/returning players? What Heroes are meta, what's each role supposed to do, who goes in that lane, etc?
13:20 ye valla changes really had a big effect, remember when she got 10% more bulk? just her hp got buffed one time and she wennt from low A-B Tier to S-Tier Firstpick material
When will the patch be available? October ?
I think blaze lvl 7 w Talent reduced aa Speed for 3 sec, even If you were touching the oil for a millisec. Correct If im wrong thou
Actually you are right it does linger I was mistaken, that is pretty oppressive indeed
@@FanHOTSnope, that effect lingers! Which is why it was so oppressive and got the nerf. It says reduce for 3 seconds, that means after leaving oil it's 3 seconds.

Thrall buffs are a massive W
Thrall very buffed, might be meta
the strafe buff was needed after they removed the leech component, that buff is way over due
man i loved hots wish they fully revamp it and give us a big upgrade
Finally the Blaze nerf HasuObs was expecting
Whitemane buff when?
BURN NOTICE BUFF?! VALLLA NERF!? CHEN MAIN TANK?! HALLOWEEN DECORATION STREAM?!
so is this for aram only or also the regular qm/sl
cassia and blaze are both my worst winrate heroes so they getting nerfed for me is wild, but i know nothing about ranked hots, in my region its almost impossible to find a match there so i just quickmatch
I use to main chen, this looks great!!

CHEN OR RIOT i see they have wisely chosen Chen!
Can we just remove same-hero arams allready?
Thanks Fan 🎉
Fend does not suck, idk how it works in gm but in plat fend talent is strong. U just play it like ur an aa cassia with more range on e
Yeah, I always tought the current talent feels pretty strong, very bursty and huge range, now its gonna be even more bursty.
Patch day, best day 😀😀
Game alive?
Nice, patch!
2:10 now you said that leon's gonna remember that n be salty about it for the next 2 years lol I watch him I do like him but sometimes I can't handle the way he lose his mind that fast

I wish they changed chen back
Up nova and probius when? They are barely playable even in qm and aram lol
Tell me about Hanzo 16, I like the bonus to AA and Q instead of pierce or %, Am I right?
