After Blizzard pulled the rug on Heroes of the Storm and its eSports department, as well as the team behind the game, there was a raft of content that was in the pipe-line. Unfortunately, it's highly likely that content has come to an end and we can expect the delivery of new content and Heroes to slow down. As far as other changes in the patch, there's just a handful of bux fixes. Full notes can be found below.
New Hero: Anduin, King of Stormwind
