En realidad fue el 29, pero creo que nos entendemos (tardaron bastante lo suyo). Notas del parche en inglés de este RPP.
GENERAL
Reduced Battleground Pool on the PTR
During this PTR phase, the Battleground pool for all matchmaking modes (Training, Versus A.I., Quick Match, Unranked, Ranked) has been reduced to three Battlegrounds in total:
Braxis Holdout
Dragon Shire
Infernal Shrines
All other Battlgrounds are still available for play in Custom Games, but will not appear in matchmaking queues.
NEW SPECIAL EVENT: XEL'NAGA ARTIFACT HUNT
Xel'Naga artifacts have begun to appear all across the Nexus, and SCVs are being deployed to collect them. Terminate these interlopers with extreme prejudice and collect artifact pieces to earn some sweet new rewards!
Daily Quest:
Collect 12 Artifact Pieces during a single game.
Reward: 1 Day Stimpack
Event Quest:
Collect 150 Artifact Pieces before the Machines of War liftoff from the Nexus on October 18, 2016.
Reward: Xel’naga Artifact Portrait
SCVs and Artifact Pieces will have a 50% chance to spawn at the start of a game if any players on the team have not yet completed their Artifact Hunt Daily Quest. This task will be difficult to accomplish alone! Teammates must work together to eliminate the SCVs and reclaim the Artifact Pieces before the game begins.
Please note that players may encounter SCVs and Artifact Pieces during games on the Public Test Realm, but the Daily and Event Quests will not activate until the patch is released to the live version of Heroes.
ALARAK
Trait
Sadism
You deal 100% bonus Ability damage versus enemy Heroes.
Basic Abilities
Discord Strike (Q)
After a 0.5 second delay, deals damage to enemies in front of you and silences them for 1.5 seconds.
Telekinesis (W)
Push yourself and any enemies hit from the targeted point toward the targeted direction. Enemies pushed by Telekinesis also take light damage.
Lightning Surge (E)
Deals damage to an enemy and all enemies between you and the target. You are also Healed for 75% of the damage dealt to Heroes.
Heroic Abilities
Counter Strike (R)
Become Protected and channel for 1 second. If you are attacked during this time, you will send a shockwave forward that damages enemies in its path.
Deadly Charge (R)
Channel and then charge in the targeted direction, dealing damage to all enemies in your path. Charge distance increases based on the amount of time spent channeling, up to 1.6 seconds.
While channeling, movement commands will cancel Deadly Charge at no cost. Taking damage will interrupt channeling.
NEW BATTLEGROUND: BRAXIS HOLDOUT
The Dominion used the remote and hostile planet Braxis to conduct experiments on ways to turn the Zerg swarm into a weapon they could unleash on their enemies. Though the Dominion's main psi disrupter was destroyed, this space platform's beacons remain fully operational and ready to be used. Capture the beacons and watch what happens when a flood of weaponized Zerg ravages the battlefield.
Capture the Beacons
Two Beacons will periodically spawn near the center of the Battleground. Capture both to fill your team’s Holding Cell with Zerg over time.
Fill Holding Cells
The longer a team holds both Beacons, the stronger and more numerous their Zerg army will become. Once either team has completely filled their Holding Cell, both will open, unleashing Zerg forces into each lane.
Unleash the Swarm
Each team must decide whether to defend against the opposing Zerg rush, or push with their own to lay siege to all who stand in the way of the Swarm.
ART
Battlegrounds
Several Battlegrounds have received additional optimization to help improve performance.
Heroes, Abilities, and Talents
The following Heroes have received new Talent icon tints to help players more easily differentiate between talents that modify the same Ability and exist on the same Talent tier:
Muradin
Tyrael
Zagara
The Butcher has received updated visual effects to coincide with his Talent rework.
Medivh’s Portals have received additional visual polish to make their presence on the battlefield more apparent to allies.
The Imposing Presence Talent has received updated visual effects to coincide with its new functionality.
SHOP

SOUND
General
Even the music of Heroes of the Storm has been invaded by the Machines of War!
Enable music in the Sound Options menu (or press CTRL+M) to listen as the sounds of the Koprulu Sector clash with those of the Nexus.
Heroes, Abilities, and Talents
All Heroes should now properly play voiceover lines when clicked repeatedly.
Medivh’s Portals have received some additional sound effect polish to make their presence on the battlefield more apparent to allies.
The Lost Vikings have received unique death notification sounds which should be a little less jarring for allies.
The Spell Shield and Imposing Presence talents have received updated sound effects to coincide with their new functionality.
USER INTERFACE
General
The Breaking News icon will no longer display in the menus when there is no breaking news to read.
Colorblind Mode
The Health bar color for the player’s own hero has been changed from dark blue to yellow.
Neutral Mercenaries will now appear dark purple on portions of their models that use team colors. This should help players and observers better differentiate them from captured mercenaries.
Daily Quests
Any Hero selected during Ranked or Unranked drafts will now count toward progression of any role or universe-specific Daily Quest.
This has been done so that players can still complete their Daily Quests while picking the best Heroes for their team composition, rather than Heroes who satisfy a quest requirement.
MVP System and Commendations
Players can now show off their individual prowess on the field of battle via the MVP System and end of match commendations.
Five players will receive awards for their in-game performance and individual achievements at the end of every game played in any mode except Custom Games.
MVP and End of Match Awards
Each match will feature one MVP, or Most Valuable Player, and four other players will receive awards for specific in-game feats.
The MVP award is granted to the player who had the greatest overall impact on the match, which is determined by their performance across all in-game stats.
The remaining four match awards will be granted for a wide variety of achievements, such as top healing, longest killstreak, most Doubloons turned in on Blackheart’s Bay, and so on.
End of match awards, including MVP, can be granted to players on either team, regardless of victory or defeat.
Commendations
Once the awards have been given out, all ten players can then commend the award recipients to show appreciation for their in-game accomplishments.
Players who receive many commendations at the end of a match will also be rewarded with a little extra fanfare.
Award-specific icons will also appear on the end of game stats screen next to the name of each player who received an end of match award.
Click here to read our recent blog post on the End of Match Awards System.
Hero Select
Hero Search
Searching for a Hero during Draft Mode or Hero Select will now sort the results first by the Hero whose name most closely matches the player’s search terms.
For example: Searching for “Diablo” will now show Diablo as the first result, followed by all other Heroes from the Diablo Universe.
Hero Sorting
New sorting buttons have been added to Hero Select and Draft Mode, and can be found next to the search field:
Toggle Favorites: Heroes who have been marked as favorites in the player profile will be sorted to the top of the Hero list.
A-Z: Sort Heroes alphabetically
XP: Sort Heroes by level
Ranked Play
Grand Master League
The maximum number of Hero League Grandmaster players has been reduced from 500 to 200. The Team League maximum remains at 100 players.
Promotion and Demotion Matches
Players will no longer receive a flat 250 ranked point adjustment after winning a promotion match or losing a demotion match. Instead, these matches will now award or remove the same amount of points as a normal ranked game.
Upon earning enough ranked points to reach a promotion match, any points earned beyond the 1,000 point division cap will now be stored and applied at the end of the promotion match.
Winning a promotion match will now award any excess points that were stored prior to that match in addition to the normal ranked points earned for the win.
Losing a promotion match will subtract the normal ranked points for a loss minus the number of excess ranked points that had been stored prior to the promotion match.
Demotion matches do not store lost ranked points, and losing a demotion match will only cause the player to lose the normal amount of ranked points.
DESIGN AND GAMEPLAY
Mounts
Movement Speed reduced from 40 to 30%
Regeneration Globes
Time before Globes despawn reduced from 8 to 6 seconds
BATTLEGROUNDS
Mercenaries
Timing Changes
Previously all Mercenary camps spawned at 120 seconds. The following adjustments have been made to spawn times:
90 seconds: Sappers, Doubloon Pirates
120 seconds: Siege Giants (unchanged), Impalers (unchanged)
150 seconds: Knights, Fallen Shaman
180 seconds: Grave Golem (unchanged)
300 seconds: Headless Horseman (unchanged)
Captured Mercenaries will no longer grant Experience when killed.
Developer Comments: We started playtesting with staggered Mercenary Camp spawn times, and quickly began to realize that it added more strategic depth to the game, and coincided with some of our Battleground events. We have been happy with the changes overall, and are listening to any feedback you may have!
Try Mode
The following features have been added to Try-Me Mode:
Boss Camp
Ability to change the enemy hero
Ability to change the game speed
TALENTS
>Imposing Presence (Active)
New functionality:
Heroes that attack you have their Attack Speed slowed by 20% for 2.5 seconds
Activate to slow the Attack Speed of nearby Heroes and Summons by 50% and their Movement Speed slowed by 20% for 2.5 seconds
Developer Comments: We did not like the power of the Attack Speed slow for Imposing Presence given how little counter-play there is. We’ve decided to move some power out of the passive portion of the Talent and to give it a new activated effect in order to create some bigger moments for players who choose to take it.
>Spell Shield (Passive)
Added functionality:
Spell Shield can now be toggled on or off to allow for better control of which Abilities you want to mitigate.
CAMBIOS A HÉROES
Abilities
Tailwind (Trait)
Movement Speed reduced from 20 to 15%
Talents
Level 1
New Talent: Wingman (Active)
Enemy Minions killed near you grant a stack of Bribe. Use 20 stacks to Bribe a Mercenary, instantly defeating them and permanently increasing the damage of Lightning Rod by 5%. Does not work on Bosses. Maximum of 80 stacks.
Bribe (Active)
Replaced by Wingman
Level 16
Aerie Gusts (Passive)
Movement speed bonus reduced from 30 to 25%
Developer Comments: In our ongoing pursuit to create meaningful and Hero-specific generic Talent choices, Bribe was a Talent that got caught in our crosshairs this patch. We have removed it from a few Heroes and have added new flavorful versions to a few others. We have always liked the design and gameplay behind the Talent, but also realize how much players had to give up in order to pick them. Wingman, Pixie Charm, and Covert Mission are being reintroduced to Falstad, Brightwing, and Nova, respectively, with design mechanics more suited to each Hero’s unique style of play.
Talents
Level 16
Relentless Predator (Trait)
Removed
Developer Comments: We’re removing the majority of our old Relentless-like Talents from the game, because we found that it wasn’t clear to the enemy team what was happening. Reducing the duration on very short disabling effects to begin with was hard to notice, and typically felt like a bug when it did happen. In some cases, we’re replacing these Talents with Hero specific ones that more clearly convey what’s happening, while fitting the gameplay of the Hero.
Talents
Level 1
Advanced Cloaking (Talent)
Movement Speed while Cloaked reduced from 30 to 25%
Level 4
New Talent: Covert Mission (Active)
Enemy Minions killed near you grant a stack of Bribe. Hero Takedowns grant 10 stacks of Bribe. Use 25 stacks to Bribe a Mercenary, instantly defeating them. Does not work on Bosses. Maximum of 100 stacks. If a camp is defeated entirely with Bribe, the camp respawns 50% faster.
Developer Comments: See Falstad’s comment for Bribe changes.
Talents
Level 1
Raynor’s Recruitment (Active)
Removed
Level 13
Relentless Leader (Passive)

Abilities
>Fresh Meat (Trait)
New functionality:

Reward: After acquiring 125 pieces of Fresh Meat, gain and additional 100 Basic Attack damage and 25% increased Attack Speed. You also no longer lose Fresh Meat on death.
-Hamstring (Q)
Mana cost reduced from 50 to 40
-Butcher’s Brand (W)
Base duration decreased from 5 to 4 seconds
Mana cost increased from 60 to 65
Added functionality:

Basic Attacks deal 35% of your Basic Attack damage to nearby enemies.
Brutal Strikes (Q)
New Functionality:
After using Hamstring, your next 3 Basic Attacks within 5 seconds deal an additional 15% bonus damage.
Level 16
Blood Frenzy (Passive)
New Functionality:

Enraged (Passive)
No longer reduces the duration of disabling effects by 75%
Added functionality:
Now provides Resistant, reducing all damage taken by 25% for the duration of Enraged.
Developer Comments: We’ve redefined The Butcher to have a more unique role as a powerful late-game hero who feeds on the flesh of his victims via his Fresh Meat Trait. His early game is weaker than before, but if he can complete his quest he will become an incredibly potent force that the enemy team must answer. We had a ton of fun testing him, and hope you all enjoy the new Butcher!

Removed
New Talent: Farflight Quiver (Passive)
Increase Basic Attack range by 40%
Developer Comments: We realize this rework may come as a bit of a surprise to our community, especially since Valla’s Talent diversity has always been pretty good. The roots of the redesign have been floating around the design bullpen for 6+ months, and after some initial testing we felt like we had to pull the trigger and get it out to you.
Similar to Zagara and our other large reworks, we didn’t want to change the ‘feel’ of the Hero —Valla users should still feel completely at home while playing her. Our main goal was to increase the potential for amazing Valla players to differentiate themselves from the mediocre ones and aimed the majority of these changes toward lifting her skill-ceiling. We believe that players will still be able to build Valla very similarly to the ways they have in the past, but with more interesting and potentially powerful payoffs. We are excited to bring the new Valla to our community and look forward to hearing what you all think!

Level 4
Upgraded Ballistics (Passive)
Removed
Developer Comments: We have been looking for ways to add gameplay to our Supports, and believe that Lt. Morales’s Displacement Grenade is a place where we could give her more control. We’re hoping that this gives players an opportunity to make bigger plays by having more control of where they want the enemy hero to move with the Grenade’s knockback.

Hindering Moonfire (Passive)

Abilities
-Ghost Wolf (Trait)
Movement Speed reduced from 30% to 20%

Level 1
Wolf Run (Talent)
Movement Speed reduced from 40 to 30% while in Ghost Wolf.
Developer Comments: Alongside the adjustments to Mount speed, we’re also reducing the Movement Speed bonus offered by Rehgar’s Ghost Wolf Trait.
Abilities
-Burrow Charge (E)
Anub'arak is no longer Invulnerable when Burrow Charging, and is now only Unstoppable.
Developer Comments: When looking at Burrow Charge, we liked that this Ability provided an immense amount of mobility and allowed Anub’arak to dive the back line, but we didn’t like that he had an Invulnerability on a 16 second CD. Essentially, Anub’arak could hold this to completely nullify a Pyroblast or any huge damage source, which is not intended. By changing this to Unstoppable, we still allow Anub’arak to be very slippery and get out of bad situations quickly.
Talents

-Knight Takes Pawn (W)
Removed
Developer Comments: As our heroes develop over time, we often find niches for their roles that are only available via Talents. While we love that our Talents augment our Heroes in interesting ways, we are wary when a Hero is picked specifically for a role that they are given via a Talent. We did a pass on our current roster and found a couple of these cases in Johanna and Muradin. We like how Johanna is seen as a warrior with good wave clear, and how Muradin is seen as an anti- auto-attacker. We’ve decided to make these features part of their base kits, and will be keeping an eye on others in the future.

Draft Mode: Fixed an issue that could cause the draft interface to become unresponsive if the player’s game client was minimized while entering draft mode.
Replays: Pausing a replay prior to opening the Talent Panel (TA
will no longer prevent Quest Talent progress from displaying.
