News
Bug Fixes
*Notes are fanmade, not official
Stukov
- Stukov has been enabled again.
- Fetid Touch (Level 1) now has the ranged Basic Attacks sound and animation that Spine Launcher had before.
- It Hungers (Level 13) now resets its counter when Lurking Arm is cast, meaning that it's not possible to accumulate some stacks for the next cast.
- If you die while Reactive Ballistospores (Level 1) is on cooldown, its cooldown does not get increased by an amount of seconds equal to your Death Timer.
- Bio-Kill Switch (Trait) cannot be used again within 0.0625 seconds of casting it, which is only relevant when having Reactive Ballistospores (Level 1).
Brightwing
- Speedy Dragon (Level 20) is now listed as a Talent that improves Phase Shift.
Garrosh
- Into the Fray (Level 7) now correctly throws in the air and gives Unstoppable to allied Heroes who are really close to Garrosh when used.
Muradin
- Baseline Quest's tooltip updated to match the new functionality introduced with the previous update. The new tooltip says: "After reaching level 10, Storm Bolt pierces an additional target. Muradin's Basic Attacks reduce the cooldown of Storm Bolt by 1 second and restore 3 Mana."
- Sledgehammer (Level 4) does not give extra stacks for his Baseline Quest.
Towers of Doom
- Waygate Entrance cannot be hit by area of effect and skillshot-based Abilities.
- Garrosh throwing tunnel: https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/o18q9z/garrosh_can_into_the_fray_part_of_the_tunnel_on/

Q&A with Kiyeberries
Access547
I'd love to hear Kiye’s thoughts on the new Stukov. Any tips for playing him? I've been learning him and now with his changes I feel like he's lost some of his fun.
- Zythal: Also asked for your thoughts on Stukov saying “my experiences with him lately have been the opposite of Access’s. He was fun before and still remains so, at least for me!”
Stompa
What is it like being a healer with someone who picks "tanks" like cav does
Krushinator
What does it take to push through the dripping sarcasm and flat out trolling in CCL Twitch chat in order to be a good moderator and good representative of the organization?
Frollino95
How are you?
Deelawn
Do supports (in general) still have a large slice of the power pie? Are we getting closer to another Support-ocalypse? Given healers are seemingly getting stronger (Anduin, Malf, Stukov, etc.).
Divovk
- What is the best way for the average player to practice learning a new healer?
- What healers do you think every player should know how to play, not necessarily power level but for flexibility purposes (I imagine lili falls in this camp)
Zatoichi8
- Which supports are in most need of buffs?
- How much does map affect your choice of support?
- Why does Lili get your blood lust higher than any other support?

I am by no means a tank main but I dabble in tanking to help fill out my roster. I am attracted to fun and quirky builds and the recent patches have brought 3 possible builds to my attention. What do you guys think of auto-attack Johanna, Vile Gas Stitches and Auto-attack Blaze? Do you think these builds could work in storm league or am I a bruiser main in tanks clothing?
Johanna gets her gambit, sins exposed, blessed hammer and blessed momentum. Stitches gets savor the flavor to increase vile gas damage and putrefaction to heal according to the damage that vile gas does plus some slam talents. I haven't gotten to play Blaze much since the patch but he gets adrenaline stimpack, incinerator gauntlets, adhesive petroleum, and burn notice.
Daybringer reacts to Cattlepillar's Tips for Tanks
- First off - this is extremely useful advice for anyone who either loves the Tank role, or finds themselves in it often. Personally, as a secondary Tank main, I fail at a lot of these regularly, so this is a great realization of how bad I still am and how I need to rethink about positioning each game :)
- Secondly, if you are new to the current Heroes esports community, I can promise you that Cattlepillar is insanely good at this role - rumors of GOAT are not out of the question, but some others like Kyocha may beg to differ...
- Thirdly, the Heroes team LOVES the consistent and continued community engagement that CCL and the rest of our community provides, it continues to fuel us: THANK YOU!
