Heroes of the Storm just released the patch notes for a PTR update, giving reworks to Brightwing, Kerrigan and the Garden of Terror map. Brightwing, my favorite faerie dragon, is getting his talents and abilities updated to 2018 standards. The activation time on his Arcane Flare has been reduced, he can now go invulnerable or give other allies stealth.

Kerrigan, like Brightwing, needed an update to stay relevant. Her Ravage ability now has two charges, Primal Grasp deals more damage and her ultimate Ultralisk can now be aimed at enemies. She's still an assassin, but now with even sharper blades.

There's also a new event fans of Heroes of the Storm have been waiting on for years.

The Fall of King's Crest Event

At PAX East 2017, I spoke with Heroes of the Storm production director Kaeo Milker. "Big things are coming to the heroes of the Nexus, soon you'll know more about the Raven Lord," he said. He refused to elaborate, saying that "in the near future" fans will get to know more about the big baddy dominating the realm between Blizzard games. The time has finally arrived with "The Fall of King's Crest" event starting on Sep. 25.
