Latest Heroes of Storm PTR patch notes detail Lucio, new WoW Mount, hero buffs/nerfs
Blizzard has released the latest Heroes of the Storm PTR patch notes for its upcoming update.
Announced on Battle.net, the patch notes detail a new way for players to earn a new in-game mount for World of Warcraft, introduces new hero Lucio from Overwatch, and explains the various tweaks to heroes abilities.
The quest “For Azeroth!” offers players the opportunity to earn an in-game World of Warcraft mount by completing 15 Heroes of the Storm matches while playing with a friend and using a Warcraft hero. The event runs until March 14; players can still earn quest credit even if their friend chooses to use a non-Warcraft hero while playing.
Completing the quest yields a Primal Flamesaber mount in WoW, and a ten day Stimpack and Flame of Judgement Charger mount for Heroes of the Storm. It should be noted that players cannot makes progress on this quest until it is available on the live version of Heroes of the Storm.
The patch notes also mention new hero Lucio, who will be joining the game soon. He brings with him abilities that are pretty much identical to those in Overwatch, and is the third character from the game that will be joining the Heroes cast.
The update will also remove the Lunar Festival Bundle but add the 2017 Love is in the Air and Classic Love is in the Air Bundles, both of which will be available until February 28, presumably in celebration of Valentine’s Day.
And for players who like to collect Hero skins, the patch will bring with it the Ribbit Lucio, Master Lucio, and Love Goddess Tyrande skins. For more on what the patch notes bring, including the extensive tweaks to Hero abilities, check out the full breakdown.
