Heroes of the Storm: Patch Notes - February 6, 2018

by on Feb 06, 2018

Maiev enters the Nexus, followed by a Malthael rework and Genji nerfs.

Besides the long awaited arrival of a Hero that can counter the mobility creep in Heroes of the Storm (Maiev), the latest patch notes also bring a handful of Hero changes. That includes:

Nerfs to Genji and his Dragonblade. Tweaks to Greymane's Cocktail Talents. A tweak or two to Hanzo's key Talents at level 7 (this hurts his clear a bit, but just about retains the armor debuff). A rework for Malthael (better melee cleave, slightly lower damage)

You can view the full patch notes here, with details of the Lunar Festival below.
