Blizzard has released a trailer, showing off both Hanzo and Alextrasza:

Gameplay and QoL changes:

Hanzo will play as the ranged Assassin, while Alextrasza will play as ranged support.

A new event will also be in play for when they arrived, called the "Dragons of the Nexus".

In addition to these new heroes and event map, the game will also feature new changes made to the game, in the form of:

• Performance-based matchmaking (taking each match performance into account, rather than who won or lost)
• Voice chat
• Increase in camera FoV
• Improvements to stealth
• Improvements to laning performance

The update will not be due out until 2018 though, but I'm happy to see the changes made to Stealth, laning and the camera FoV, as well as the new map and two heroes.

Looking forward to trying both. Haven't played much Hots this year.

I started getting back into heroes around two months ago. having played around with Kel'Thuzad has been amazing (really fun Ult he has, as well as good slows), Junkrat I've toyed around with for a few days and I think he needs more of a buff to make him viable for dives and team based scuffles (he's weak as paper and does little dmg atm).

I bought the Blizzcon e-ticket because I wanted to see the enw WoW expansion, as well as HotS news, but also the digital goodies for the games as well

The new pov looks good.
