Heroes of the Storm’s Battlefield of Eternity map and The Butcher character make for great, newbie-oriented additions to an already friendly game.
With Hogger announced as the 90th hero coming to Heroes of the Storm on Monday afternoon, let us take a deep dive into what his kit and talent tree include, according to the game's development team.
When Blizzard Entertainment first released Heroes of the Storm back in the spring of 2014, Gazlowe was a playable character. In the six years since his kit has been tweaked and reworked a few times (most recently in 2017). Despite having a personality and swagger entirely his own, his kit, while unique, never felt particularly impactful as the amount of setup required for him to be useful oftentimes wasn't worth the outcome.
When Overwatch's favorite gamer, D.Va, made her way into the nexus back in 2017, players of multiple Blizzard titles chomped at the bit to see how the Heroes of the Storm development team was able to turn this half-mech, half-girl into a MOBA champion while still maintaining her familiarity.
I'm enjoying playing The Butcher right now, so I'm sure a nerf is coming.
