Heroes of the Storm Patch 14.0

Blizzard Crossover MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, has released Patch 14.0 into live service today which includes several gameplay changes. First off, players will be able to enter the battlefields as the newest support to the roster Lt. Morales. The Medic has the ability to support allies with a healing gun as well as use dropships to position her allies.

The update also features map balance changes for Garden of Terror, Battlefield of Eternity and Infernal Shrines, with the last map seeing drastic changes to its objective gameplay— which originally favored PvE team comps too heavily. The objective skeleton goal has been increased to 40 from 30, meaning that players will need to commit to the objective much more for how powerful it is.

Tanks across the board have been re-balanced, with a disparity that kept Leoric and Johanna clearly in the front running. Both have been nerfed, with Leoric's Skeletal Swing damage reduced and Johanna's minion clearing utility slashed. ETC, Diablo, Chen and Stitches have also seen a bit of help to make them more competitively viable.

Last major patch's star, Rexxar, has also seen some changes which include a new ability Misha: Fixate, which allows him to better control his bear companion. In the previous incarnation, Misha would only attack the target that Rexxar is also attacking. The new change will allow him to put on a bit more pressure with Misha as she fixates on a specific target, making attacking Rehgar a lot more punishing.

There are a lot of changes, and you can see the individual values here.
