Heroes of the Storm PTR Notes —September 18, 2017
Our next Heroes of the Storm patch has just arrived to the Public Test Realm and will be available for playtesting until September 25. During this time, we kindly request your assistance in trying out some of the new content it contains before we officially release the patch to the live version of Heroes. Just like last time, if you encounter any bugs or other issues during your PTR play sessions, please stop by the PTR Bug Report forum to let us know about your experiences.
Open Loot Boxes and be the first team to find the Golden Pachimari!
At the beginning of a match, Loot Boxes will spawn around your starting area. Open as many as you can, and try to find the legendary Golden Pachimari!
Opening a Loot Box will grant you a movement speed boost, enabling you to open even more boxes.
The player to open the most Loot Boxes on each team will be announced when the event ends, so be sure to always try your best!
The first team to find the Golden Pachimari will win the event and earn credit toward their Pachimari Mania quest progress!
Quests and Rewards
Pachimari Mania is a four-part quest chain. All quests must be completed in order, and only one quest will be active at a time.
Part 1: Find 2 Golden Pachimaris to earn a set of Pachimari in-game Emojis
Part 2: Find 5 Golden Pachimaris to earn a Pachimari-themed Banner
Part 3: Finding 8 Golden Pachimaris will unlock the Golden Pachimari spray
Part 4: Finding 10 Golden Pachimaris will unlock the Pachimari Portrait
PTR Note: While elements of this event may be visible on the Public Test Realm, any progress or rewards earned during PTR testing will not transfer to the live version of the game when this patch is officially released next week.
As a founding member of Overwatch and one of the world's best snipers, Ana Amari uses her skills to protect the innocent. Though she went MIA after losing her eye, Ana's sense of duty and responsibility has brought her back to the fight.
Trait
Shrike
Basic Attacks apply a Dose to non-Structure enemies, dealing an additional 44 damage over 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.
Basic Abilities
Healing Dart (Q)
Fire a dart which heals the first allied Hero hit for 250 Health.
Biotic Grenade (W)
Toss a Grenade at the target area. Allied Heroes hit are healed for 175 Health and receive 25% increased healing for 3 seconds. Enemies hit take 60 damage and receive 100% less healing for 2 seconds.
Sleep Dart (E)
Fire a dart that Sleeps the first enemy Hero hit, rendering them unable to act for 3 seconds. Sleep’s effects end instantly if the target takes damage after the first 0.5 seconds.
Cannot be used on Vehicles.
Heroic Abilities
Nano Boost (R)
Instantly boost an allied Hero, restoring 200 Mana. For the next 8 seconds, they gain 30% Spell Power and their Basic Ability cooldowns recharge 150% faster.
Cannot be used on Ana.
Eye of Horus (R)
Assume a sniping position, gaining the ability to fire up to 8 specialized rounds with unlimited range. Rounds hit the first allied or enemy Hero or enemy Structure in their path. Allies are healed for 300 and enemies are damaged for 175. Deals 50% damage to Structures.
Ana is unable to move while Eye of Horus is active.
Throughout the match a Control Point will activate at one of three locations, beginning in a neutral capture state.
Once a player stands on the control point without any enemies, they gain control progress for their team at a steady rate.
If an enemy enters the point, the point becomes contested and will not gain or lose control progress.
When a team's control progress hits 100, they gain control of the point.
As long as a team has control of the point, they gain victory progress at a steady rate.
Victory progress does not decay for any reason.
Overtime: When a point is at 99% victory progress about to tick over to 100%, it will stay at 99% and enter the overtime state if there are any enemy heroes on the point or the point just flipped from the enemy's control.
When a team's victory progress hits 100%, they win the event. The control point deactivates and a two-person Triglav Protector spawns on the point for the winning team after a short delay.
Triglav Protector
Pilot Abilities
Charge (Q)
After .5 seconds, charge to the target unit's current location and deal damage in an area. Deals double damage to structures and minions. 8 second cooldown

New Sandbox Custom Game: Volskaya Foundry
A sandbox version of Volskaya Foundry has been added to Custom Games.
Much like Sandbox version of Cursed Hollow, this Battleground allows up to 10 players at once to use a variety of “cheats” to test the limits of their Heroes, and the Battleground.
Sandbox Volskaya Foundry also features a “Triglav Protector” button, which allows a player to immediately spawn a Protector at their Hero’s location.
Vehicles
All vehicles, including the Dragon Knight, Garden Terror, and Triglav Protector are now Unstoppable.
Ranked Battleground Rotation Update
Added to Rotation
Volskaya Foundry
Haunted Mines
Towers of Doom
Removed from Rotation
Blackheart’s Bay
Braxis Holdout
Sky Temple
The full Ranked Battleground Rotation is now as follows:
Banners that are placed after completing an objective, capturing Mercenaries, etc., will now display the name of the player who owns that Banner.
Healing Indicators
Increased and Decreased Healing indicators have been added and will now appear next to Heroes’ healthbars when they are affected by healing modifier effects, such as Ana’s Biotic Grenade.
Minimap
Hero icons on the Minimap now indicate which direction that Hero is facing.
Daily Quests
A new “Play 2 Games as an Overwatch Hero” Daily Quest has been added.
Social
Players under level 5 can no longer whisper non-friends using chat channel player lists.
However, players under level 5 who receive a whisper from a non-friend can whisper that player back.
Collection
It should now be easier to differentiate between Owned and Unowned Items in your Collection.
Additionally, item prices are now always displayed on unowned items.
Item backgrounds and borders have received visual improvements and rarity coloring to help players more easily distinguish between items of different rarities.
Sight range increased from 6 to 12 (now matches Heroes)
Talents
Level 4
Remote Delivery (E)
Removed
Holo Stability (E)
New functionality:
Increases the cast range, sight range, and duration of Holo Decoy by 100%
Level 7
Anti-Armor Shells (Passive)
Added functionality:
Basic Attacks also decrease the physical Armor of your target by 10 for 3 seconds
Level 13
Psionic Efficiency (Q)
Range increase from 10 to 15%
Developer Comment: We made a few changes to our resident Ghost - mostly targeted at fixing some under-performing talents. Alongside that, we figured that we may as well point Anti-Armor Shells, you know, into a direction more befitting its name.
Healing increased from 73 to 96 per 3 Basic Attacks
Insight (Passive)
Cooldown reduction increased from 1 to 1.5 seconds per 3 Basic Attacks
Level 16
Dash of Light (Q + W)
Increased bonus healing from 50% to 75% for dashing to an ally
Developer Comment: These changes are designed to increase the power of Insight and Transcendence by shifting more of Kharazim's healing power pie into them. We want to encourage the same active gameplay that Iron Fist Kharazim's have, but increasing healing and utility instead of damage when the other Talents are chosen.
Secondary bounce healing increased from 167 to 250
Developer Comment: We'd like to make positioning for Rehgar's Chain Heal matter more, so that we reward players and teams that can get the most of it. To do this we're reducing the range and radius of the heal, while also making the jumps a greater portion his overall healing.
Now applies a 50% slow for 2.5 seconds after enemies are knocked into the air.
Talents
Level 1
Laws of Hope (Active)
Moved from Level 4
Health Regeneration reduced from 10 > 1.5
Heal increased from 20% > 30% Maximum Health
Cooldown reduced from 60 > 40 seconds
Regeneration Master (Passive)
Removed
Righteous Smash (Q)
Removed
Hold Your Ground (D)
Moved from Level 13
No longer requires Iron Skin’s shield to be broken for the 4-second cooldown reduction
Level 4
Conviction (W)
Moved from Level 7
Sins Exposed (E)
Moved from Level 7
Damage increased from 68 > 90
Eternal Retaliation (W)
Cooldown reduction decreased from .75 seconds to .5 seconds
Level 7
The Crusade Marches On (D)
Removed
(New Talent) Zealous Glare (E)
Increases the Blind duration of Shield Glare by .5 seconds. Your auto-attacks against Blinded heroes increases their Blind duration by 1 second, up to a maximum of 3 seconds
Subdue (Q)
Moved from Level 13
New functionality:
Hitting 2 enemy Heroes with Punish causes the slow to be increased to 80% and no longer decay.
!Quest: Hit 4 enemy Heroes with a single cast of Punish. !Reward: Punish now always slows enemies by 80% and no longer decays.
Level 13
Roar (Q)
Moved from Level 4
Damage bonus reduced from 50% > 25%
Additional Functionality:
Punish deals 125% increased damage if it hits 2 or more enemy Heroes
Burning Rage (Passive)
Removed
Blessed Hammer (Active)
Moved from Level 16
New Functionality: Activate to create 2 hammers that spiral around Johanna. Hitting enemy Heroes with Shield Glare reduces the cooldown of this ability by 8 seconds. 30-second cooldown
Damage increased from 41 to 80
(New Talent) Holy Fury (W)
Deal damage to enemies around you. Each enemy Hero hit by Condemn increases the damage by 40% for 5 seconds
Level 16
Fanaticism (D)
Additional Functionality: Now also increases the duration of Iron Skin by 2 seconds
Level 20
Heaven’s Fury (R)
Cooldown reduction increased from 2 to 3 seconds
Indestructible (Passive)
Duration reduced from 5 to 4 seconds
Storm Shield (Active)
Removed
(New Talent) Blinded by the Light (Active)
Activate to grant nearby allies a shield equal to 25% of their maximum Health for 3 seconds. Hitting enemy Heroes with Shield Glare reduces this cooldown by 8 seconds. 60-second cooldown
Developer Comment: To her credit, Johanna has not needed many changes since she was first released into the Nexus. Her talent pick and win rates have been fair compared to most heroes, and she has almost always had a place in the meta. While she is not in dire need of changes, we saw an opportunity to spruce up her talent tree and give her some more interesting options to choose from on various tiers.
Loot Chests purchased via the Loot tab will now only grant Rare Loot Chests, rather than Normal Loot Chests.
Please note: This only applies to Loot Chests purchased after this patch is applied to the live version of the game in each region. Normal Loot Chests the player already owns will not convert to Rare Loot Chests.
Rewards
The Celestial Steed Mount has been removed and replaced by the Celestial Raptor as a reward for purchasing Loot Chests.
The 1,000 Gem reward for reaching level 5 has been removed.
Please note: Veteran players who have not logged in following the release of Heroes 2.0 earlier this year will no longer be able to claim this reward once this patch is applied to the live version of the game in each region.

Illidan: Abilities that can interrupt Dive, like Li-Ming’s Wave of Force, will no longer cause Illidan to become briefly unresponsive.

Johanna: Abilities that block pathing, such as Sonya’s Arreat Crater and Tassadar’s Force Wall, will no longer block Johanna’s movement during Falling Sword.

Zagara: Creep Tumors no longer exhibit a short delay before granting vision of the area affected by Creep.
Sound
Li-Ming: Templar Li-Ming will now correctly play ***** sounds when ******.
