Talents

• Level 7
  • Let's Go! [Active]

Developer Comment: Li Li has been working on her throwing arm, which should help her spells become a tiny bit more consistent, especially when cast at longer ranges.

Hero Updates

    • Cooldown increased from 25 to 30 seconds.

Developer Comment: After a brief visit to far-away fields of eternal conflict, Li Li returns to the Nexus with a new-found penchant for friendship. We didn't like how mandatory the old Hindering Winds talent felt, so we made some of its functionality baseline and repositioned some Blinding Wind talents to make her 'offensive' build more potent. We've also redesigned many of Li Li's Cloud Serpent talents to make them more individually meaningful and to make the collective Cloud Serpent build have more of an identity and purpose of its own.

Hero Updates

Talents

• Level 4
  • Hindering Winds [W]
    • Moved to level 13.
    • Slow duration increased from 1.5 to 2 seconds.
• Level 13
  • Surging Winds [W]
    • Moved to level 4.
    • Cooldown reduction reduced from 3 to 2 seconds.

Developer Comment: Hindering Winds was a bit too effective compared to the other options available at level 4. Rather than nerfing it into oblivion, we're swapping its position with Surging Winds at level 13. This should open up her talent options a little bit and give us room to make further adjustments to the rest of her kit in the future.

Bug Fixes

• Li Li: Blinding Wind can no longer target and blind Immune targets.

Bug Fixes

• Blinding Wind, Shadow Dagger, Seeker Swarm, Frost Blast, Unstable Compound, and Weak Spot Acquired will no longer apply their effects to Heroes in Time Stop.

Hero Updates

Stats

• Health reduced from 1534 to 1500
• Health Regeneration reduced from to 3.2 to 3.1

Abilities

• Healing Brew (Q)
  • Healing reduced from 181 to 175

Talents

• Level 1
  • Eager Adventurer (Trait)
    • Mana regeneration increased from 100% to 125%
• Level 16
  • Blessings of Yu'lon (W)
    • Healing reduced from 1.25% max Health to 1% max Health

Developer Comment: For how easy Li Li is to play, she is simply too powerful and popular, particularly at the lower and mid-levels of play. These changes are meant to reduce her dominance at those levels, which should free up more options for players wanting to pick other healers that they would like to master.

Bug Fixes

• Li Li: Fixed an issue that caused healing from Cloud Serpent to temporarily fail if the Blessing of Yu'lon talent was chosen while a Cloud Serpent was active.

Hero Updates

Abilities

• Cloud Serpent (W)
  • Cooldown increased from 10 to 11 seconds

  • Base healing amount reduced from 190 to 181

  • Hindering Winds (E)
    • Duration reduced from 2 to 1.5 seconds

Hero Updates

Support Heroes

• We've unified certain Support abilities to only work on Heroes (not Minions or Mercenaries):
  • Healing Brew (Q)

Developer Comment: We're unifying the vast majority of our heals for their intended purpose: healing allied Heroes. We're maintaining the ability for a few heals to affected Minions still where we think it's an important part of their gameplay: Lt. Morales Healing Beam (so that she can heal herself), Rehgar's Chain Heal (to allow bounces travel across Minions), Tyrael's Righteousness (because shielding Minion waves is part of the lane interaction with the ability), and Uther's Holy Radiance (to unify expectations, since it can damage Minions).

Developer Comment: Li Li is one of our oldest Heroes and has remained relatively unchanged since her debut in 2014. With this rework, we wanted to preserve her relative mechanical simplicity, but give her other ways to show mastery of game knowledge. Additionally, we wanted to expand upon her fantasy of being the enthusiastic sidekick who’s not afraid to put herself in danger to save her allies. With the new cooldown reduction mechanic on her trait, Li Li players are encouraged to dart in and out of skirmishes, taking just enough damage to keep her trait up. The longer she can keep her trait up, the more ability casts she gets, pushing her into a powerful sustain support role. With this mechanic she can also bully enemies that lack sustained damage; slowly forcing them out of lanes or off objectives. However, she’s fairly vulnerable to crowd control since she relies so heavily on frequent spell casts to survive. One well timed stun or silence can shut down an overly reckless Li Li. We’re aware that her Blinding Wind damage build was popular and that many players preferred her in that role, but we felt it was inappropriate for Li Li to put out the numbers she did while still providing decent support for her team. In general, we’re nudging our supports away from being as effective as Assassins or Specialists in terms of damage and wave clear potential. Li Li can still put out impressive numbers for a support, but it should be much more predicated on her ability to position properly and keep her trait up, rather than simply being constant oppressive force.

  • Gale Force (E)
    • Damage bonus reduced from 50 to 40%
• Level 7
  • Lightning Serpent (W)
    • Damage reduced from 15 to 14

Developer Comments: While we’re happy that we’re seeing more Lili due to her recent buffs, they have gone a bit far in making the hero too powerful, particularly in double-support compositions. We’re reverting part of her Blinding Wind buff, and reducing the power of her Cloud Serpent so that she is not putting out quite as much damage in games.

Hero Updates

Abilities

• Blinding Wind (E)
  • Cooldown decreased from 10 to 8 seconds
  • Mana cost reduced from 40 to 30
  • Damage increased from 132 to 140

Developer Comment: Adventures are hard to have when you keep getting bogged down by pesky Basic Attackers. She is too mild-mannered to demand buffs, so Chen sat us down, handed us some brew and talked us into helping her out a bit.

Design & Gameplay

Hero Radii

• The radius of many heroes in the game have been adjusted to better match their actual model size.
  • Increased Radius - Abathur, ETC, Gul'dan, Baleog, Muradin, Misha, Sgt. Hammer, Thrall, Uther, Varian, Zagara
  • Decreased Radius - Li Li, Tracer, Valeera

Hero Updates

Talents

• Level 13
  • Elusive Feet (Trait)
    • Now displays a button on the hotbar showing the cooldown
• Level 16
  • Shake It Off (Passive)
    • Now displays a button on the hotbar showing the cooldown

Bug Fixes

• Damage Reduction: When two damage reduction effects, such as Resistant (25%) and Hardened Shield (75%), are simultaneously applied to a Hero, the larger effect will no longer be overridden by the lesser effect.

Hero Updates

Talents

• Level 16
  • Shake It Off (Passive)
    • No longer has a cooldown
    • Resistant amount increased from 25 to 50%
    • Resistant duration increased from 3 to 4 seconds

Hero Updates

Talents

• Level 16
  • Shake it Off (Passive)
    • New functionality:
      • Stuns and Roots against Li Li grant Resistant, reducing all damage taken by 25% for 3 seconds. Cannot occur more than once every 10 seconds.

Developer Comments: We’re removing the majority of our old Relentless- like Talents from the game, because we found that it wasn’t clear to the enemy team what was happening. Reducing the duration on very short disabling effects to begin with was hard to notice, and typically felt like a bug when it did happen. In some cases, we’re replacing these Talents with Hero specific ones that more clearly convey what’s happening, while fitting the gameplay of the Hero.

Bug Fixes

• Li Li: The Shake it Off Talent will no longer reduce the duration of the Garden Terror's Queen's Curse Ability.

Talents

Conjurer's Pursuit

• A reward has been added to this Questing Talent.
  • Quest: Gather Regeneration Globes to permanently increase Mana Regeneration by 0.10 per second, up to a maximum of 2.5 per second.
  • Reward: After gathering 25 Regeneration Globes, also increases maximum Mana by 100.

Developer Comments: We’ve added a completion point to this Talent. Upon completing its quest, players will be provided with some additional power. This allows us to offer spikes of power in-between Talent levels, or even for a single player on a team. Now, simply picking the Talent and only partially completing it is worse, but finishing the quest will return a larger reward. Choosing the right Talents on the right Battleground or with the right team composition has always been an important goal for us, and this change pushes this Talent to closer align with that goal.

Hero Updates

• Cleanse (Talent) added at Level 7
• Shake It Off (Talent) moved from Level 7 to Level 16.
  • Cooldown reduced from 15 to 10 seconds.
• Fast Feet (Trait)
  • Safety Sprint (Talent)
    • Now provides the Movement Speed bonus regardless of Li Li’s remaining Health.
• Healing Brew (Q)
  • Herbal Cleanse (Talent) removed.

Developer Comments: While one of the core components of Li Li’s design has been that she does not target her Abilities, we were not happy with Herbal Cleanse and its odd usability. In addition to some other minor Talent adjustments, we’ve decided to give Cleanse to Li Li to help her compete with other Supports in this area.

Bug Fixes

• Self-casting Cloud Serpent as Li Li after learning the Mending Serpent Talent will no longer cause duplicate Healing combat text to appear.

Bug Fixes

• Sylvanas’ Mind Control will now properly cancel Abilities that are being channeled by the target, such as E.T.C.’s Mosh Pit and Li Li’s Jug of 1,000 Cups.

Hero Updates

• Water Dragon (R)
  • Damage increased from 192 (+4% per level) to 318 (+4% per level).
  • Mana cost decreased from 100 to 50.

Developer Comments: We want to make some basic improvements to a lot of the lesser-picked/lower win-rate Heroic Abilities. Most of these are pretty simple changes to make them more enticing, like adding more damage, reducing cooldowns, or lowering Mana costs. We realize that the primary use case for Abilities like Li Li’s Water Dragon or E.T.C.’s Stage Dive is not damage, but having more of it might help them feel more effective. We’re trying to do something a little bit different with Brightwing’s Emerald Wind and Malfurion’s Twilight Dream by compensating for some of the Support capability you miss out on by picking these Heroics. We’re excited to see how these go! In Thrall’s case, Sundering was a little too strong, so we’re reducing its stun duration.

Hero Updates

• Fast Feet (Trait)
  • Elusive Feet (Talent)
    • Damage reduction amount increased from 50% to 75%

Bug Fixes

• Gall will no longer count as a secondary target for Li Li’s Healing Brew with the Two for One Talent.

Talents

Bolt of the Storm

Developer Comments: We love this talent and think it can create a lot of really interesting moments, but the cooldown was just too short. At 70 seconds we think this talent is still a great level 20 pick, but now players will have to be more strategic with how they use it. Forcing someone to use their Bolt to avoid a gank can now be a meaningful moment with this increased cooldown. We hope this also entices players towards choosing their Heroic upgrades instead of Bolt when the situation calls for it.

• Cooldown increased from 40 to 70 seconds

Bug Fixes
