EPTHaven't been playing all that much lately so I havent played with/against a ton of Johannas but she really seems fine to me. Maybe it's a little annoying for all the Chen players that she totally outshines him in the annoying and unkillable role.

Just like Kael is a Nova type. Stomps noobs like flies, higher up he is just a spellcaster. Eh, I wouldn't put Kael in the same class as Nova as just a newb stomper. His power spike at 16 legitimately changes games. One good Flamestrike on the back line (which can be done as an initiation!) can often guarantee victory in a fight. | ||

I'm still reading but this seems huge Daze Tech We are changing the way many of the knockbacks in Heroes of the Storm currently work. Previously, the majority of abilities that moved an enemy character also applied a stun during the movement. This means abilities like Tychus’ grenade or Raynor’s Penetrating Round would double as a Stun for channeled abilities. With this new tech, many of these knockback abilities will no longer stun mobile channeling abilities including Tychus’ Overkill, Li Li’s Jug of 1000 cups, Sonya’s Whirlwind, and Valla’s Strafe. Knockback effects that we’d like to apply a stun, Muradin’s Haymaker for example, will keep the stun, but it will be explicitly part of the ability and called out in the tooltip. As an added note, stationary channels such as Mosh Pit and Ravenous Spirit will still be interrupted by a knockback effect. | ||

Pretty big buff to Sonya too, maybe, hopefully. She needs help as it is. | ||

Yeah I like that idea and I think it sounds fair. Should make more heroes viable... the ones who have ults/ big attacks that can get interrupted by pretty much anything. | ||

Every single time I popped Locust Swarm, Maw hits. The third or fourth time I just insta-Burrowed when I popped it and the Maw missed. Guess that Zagara just didn't like me. | ||

BW vs Tychus is a nightmare matchup for Tychus. He can't chip away HP from BW with his grenade and if he Q's you just poly him. Honestly Tychus should just rotate lanes if he sees he's against a BW. | ||

It is also the reason Tranq persists through Ice Block. Why can Tychus use his basics while channeling Overkill? Who knows. Tychus used to be able to auto-attack while channeling Overkill too (I know that was a bug)! I guess tranq is so weird to me because it's a stationary channel in both WC3 and WoW. Also the fact that there aren't any other Aura's that follow around the caster (well I guess Emerald Wind if you get hit with a knock back during the casting, but EW is a pulse not an aura =p). | ||

http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/19803324 Still reading but they went ahead with this change Several Abilities were unintentionally providing brief moments of Unstoppable behavior during use. The following Abilities no longer provide Unstoppable: Chen -- Flying Kick (Q) Falstad -- Barrel Roll (E) Illidan -- Dive (Q) Illidan -- Sweeping Strikes (with the Unbound talent) (W) Kerrigan -- Ravage (Q) Also Tychus seems to be getting +1 range on his basic. That is actually quite huge. One of his major downsides was being a point blank ranged assassin which is why Q build was really the only viable build for him. | ||
