New "Infernal Shrines" Battleground Live

Blizzard Entertainment's Cross-Over MOBA, Heroes of the Storm, continues the battle between Heaven and Hell with a new Battleground— Infernal Shrines. The new map features three Shrines that activate in the middle, north and south of the map which spawns Guardians. Whichever team is first to slay 30 Guardians will be rewarded with the summoning of a mighty Punisher, a new type of objective boss that not only sieges but— relentlessly pursues enemy heroes!

Heroes of the Storm: Infernal Shrines Overview

Punishers come in three flavors at random:

  • Mortar: Releases 'missile' barrages around itself.
  • Frozen: Creates frozen circles to freeze enemies in their place.
  • Arcane:  Lays down rotating turrets that sear enemies.

The best way to deal with an enemy Punisher is to lure them away with heroes to force it to overextend where it can be easily focus-fired.
