Everyone has a fighting chance
The Heroes of the Storm team has put up a great new video to give players a look at how the two-player controlled Cho’Gall will work in the game. The "Cho" player is a mighty warrior in charge of movement. The "Gall" player is the finisher and more of a ranged DPS timing specialist. "Two players, one head all sharing the same body". Check out the video!
We sat down with Technical Director Alan Dabiri to go over some updates to Heroes of the Storm, some of which are coming as early as November 17th! We first discussed the new Arena mode, where players can pick one of three heroes, their heroic ability, and then just jump right in and brawl. Each arena has much simplified objectives without lanes. Dabiri noted how internal playtests had their fellow devs stating it was the most fun they’d had in awhile.
BlizzCon brought with it tons of new announcements, and several new heroes for Blizzard’s MOBA, Heroes of the Storm. Everyone was all a-tizzy about Cho’Gall (who wouldn’t want to try a 2-player hero?), but our own Bill Murphy wanted to give another one of the new heroes a try… the werewolf leader Greymane.

Artanis is now a playable character in Heroes of the Storm for players who preordered the upcoming Starcraft: Legacy of the Void expansion. Those who have yet to preorder SC:LotV can still do so and have him added to their roster on October 27th.
Blizzard has added a new feature to Heroes of the Storm called the "Silence Penalty" in an effort to prevent a "toxic community" from forming in the highly competitive game. In addition, the Eternal Conflict event is now concluded and Warcraft hero, Rexxar, has been added to the game.
Blizzard has announced that a hotfix has been applied to Heroes of the Storm to bring the new Infernal Shrines battleground into the game. In addition, from August 26th to September 2nd, matchmaking game modes will be reduced to six to bring Infernal Shrines to the forefront.
Blizzard’s Diablo III themed updates to Heroes of the Storm continued this week with the addition of Kharazim, the Monk. Surprisingly, Kharazim is a melee support character (the only Diablo III-themed support in the game!), but that doesn’t mean he’s an incapable damage dealer.
Blizzard has deployed the NA version of the latest Heroes of the Storm update that includes the Diablo 3 monk, Kharazim. In addition, new Dynamic Bundles have been placed in the item shop and ranked play alterations.
