Over on GosuHOTS they're reporting on Samuro's talent list. They look pretty interesting and there appears to be a fair amount of build flexibility there. His Trait alone is particularly interesting. Take a look below at the full list.
Samuro’s Kit
As soon as the drawing event ended, Samuro’s abilities went live. Let’s take a look!
TRAIT
Basic attacks against enemy Heroes increase your movement speed by 25% for 2 seconds.
