Blizzard has followed up on the big changes they made in the Dehaka patch, as well as giving players more options when it comes to heroics.
While Illidan has received changes to make him strong yet again, Li Ming has been too powerful since her release, bt thankfully this patch takes steps toward bringing the two in line with the rest of the cast. Li Ming's Teleport options have been made less appealing, and her ability to clear waves efficiently has taken a hit with 10 seconds added to the cooldown of Disintegration Ray. Illidan was given more options, but as the changes made him difficult to kill his sustain has been toned down.
Tychus and Kael'thas also got a whole bunch of talent changes in the prior patch, and here they're given more attention. Even though he had many more options to play with, the problem that Kael'that ran into was that he was easy to dive and kill. In this patch, he has been given more power, with increased base damage numbers and more health to help him survive. Tychus got similar treatment, with base health buffs as well as an increase to his Minigun damage, in order to hone in on him being a tank shredder.
Buffing the weak
Those were the major hero changes, with the rest being to the lesser used heroics. 11 heroes received changes to heroics, with the most notable being yet another nerf to Falstad's Mighty Gust, increasing the cooldown to a whole minute, and the damage from Muradin's Haymaker no longer falling off when hitting secondary targets.
You can read about all of the updates in depth here. With Summer qualifiers coming soon, it's going to be interesting to see which teams are able to adapt to the changes.
