Además de haber recibido un parche oficial el pasado 20 de septiembre, Blizzard lanzó hoy un gran parche para su MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, corrigiendo un gran cantidad de errores en muchos de los héroes, además de pequeños cambios en las habilidades de algunos de ellos, la mecánica de invulnerabilidad, numerosos cambios en los íconos de los héroes y más.

Debajo podrán encontrar (en inglés) las notas completas de los cambios. Recuerden que este nuevo parche solo está disponible en el Reino Público de Pruebas (RPP, o PTR en inglés), de modo que si lo quieren probar, tendrán que descargar su correspondiente versión.

Para aquelos que no estén al tanto, Blizzard, exceptuando el mencionado parche del 20 de septiembre, había dejado de agregar contenido a Heroes of the Storm en julio del 2022, razón por la cual este significativo parche apunta a un posible regreso del MOBA (es decir, agregar contenido nuevamente), o quizás es solo un nuevo parche y ya. De mucho dependerá la respuesta de la comunidad ante esta nueva actualización.
