It is impossible to predict how all of the changes will play out or how they will exactly affect the meta. For now all I can promiss is updated build guide videos for each of the re-work heroes. From all of this I take away the new pleasant form of "quest talents" blizz came up with. A job well done from my PoV

Where do I even start ? This patch came in with a flurry of changes, including 5 full hero reworks for Gazlowe, Sylvanas, Tychus, Kael'thas and Illidan (these will be covered in the second part). For now let's dive into bans, the new hero and battleground, more customization controls, death recaps... and the list goes on and on. One of the most comprehensive HotS Patches we have ever gotten, but I feel a lot of clean-up will be needed before the game is "balanced". Clearly we are on the right track and S1 cannot be to far off!

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Dehaka Tank Build

Dehaka Gameplay using a Ability Damage mitigation tank build in Heroes of the Storm. I prefer the sustain healing tanky build for our new Starcraft Warrior but the circumstances where ideal to pump up or Dark Swarm ability (W) to mitigate ability damage and also reduce crowd control effects, this being very important when you are the only warrior on your team. One thing is clear to me, Dehaka is not a front line tank like Johanna and Muradin, he is more of a bruiser like Artanis or even Sonya. HotS Quick Match on the Cursed Hallow Battleground using the Mecha Skin. That's all for now but stay tuned for my full build guide and ofc Rank 1 Ranked Gameplay.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Dehaka on Lost Cavern

Heroes of the Storm Dehaka Gameplay on The new Lost Cavern Battleground. This brand new HotS map is only available in Custom Games and it fits perfectly for ARAM. The earlier info on the new Starcraft warrior was a bit off , he is a melee warrior classified as medium difficulty to play.. not easy. Also slight differences on how his abilities work. All and all i played him for a few games and he is certainly a bruiser, but the full story will be in my Build Guide. Also tons of other improvements have arrived with Dehaka, such as custom quick cast controls per each hero, tons of reworks to a lot of heroes and finally we get BANS for Ranked Gameplay. I will bring you all my usual content and there is plenty to cover so stay tuned! I am working on a full tank build but for now this is a work in progress having only played a couple of games with him.

Who is Dehaka ?
Dehaka lost his large right arm prior to the Swarm's return to Zerus; it was later to be found in the same area where Sarah Kerrigan defeated the other primal pack leaders.

When the Zerg Swarm returned to Zerus, Dehaka initially opted to simply observe the Swarm and Kerrigan. He witnessed the newcomers awaken Zurvan and the primal-infestation of Kerrigan.

Dehaka perceived Kerrigan as the strongest zerg. He and his pack welcomed the new power by allying with the Swarm, believing Kerrigan would lead them to new essence. Dehaka correctly predicted that the other pack leaders would refuse to similarly adapt; the other pack leaders were destroyed by Kerrigan, including Zurvan. Kerrigan confronted Dehaka afterwards, confirming that Dehaka had known that Zurvan would turn on her. He did not deny this—one zerg would grow strong, the other would fall. Dehaka remained with the Swarm.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Abathur Build Guide

Abathur Gameplay Build Guide featuring the toxic nest build in Heroes of the Storm (HotS). The match took place on the Infernal Shrines battleground and even thou the opposing team managed to obtain the first two punishers we pulled through late game with a couple of decent team fights and thus securing Victory! In this format we go through each talent tier and I give you my thoughts on what are the viable choices and in what scenarios. The current meta doesn't really favor Aba but there are niche situations where he can be instrumental in winning a game.

The recommended build :

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Uther ARAM Introduction (HotS Tutorial)

With the Lost Cavern coming soon to Heroes of the Storm I thought a introduction / tutorial to the popular ARAM mode is warranted.
Custom Game on Dragon Shire with all players on Auto-Select or Random. I got Uther ... just my luck would have it :D
HotS will have ARENA MODE which is set to launch in Q4 2016.
