Dustin Browder tweet roundup

Heroes of the Storm Game Director Dustin Browder is very active on Twitter and has given us some insight on the future of the game.

Dustin Browder is notorious for his responses to the HotS community through twitter. He often offers exclusive details on what the development team might be working on. These are some of the most important things he's mentioned in his tweets recently. 


One of the biggest concerns with the game right now is the lack of options when it comes to support. Luckily, Browder confirmed that the team is aware of this and is working on more support heroes in the future.

Another concern is low rank players queuing with high rank players, which can make for a pretty uneven match. With the major hero league changes coming, he confirmed this should no longer be an issue. 

There's no doubt that Kael'thas and Li-Ming are top tier mages right now while Jaina feels pretty ignored. Balance updates to Jaina are a definite necessity, and we might be seeing them soon.

As everyone who has ever been disconnected from a game knows, the reconnect system is pretty inefficient. When asked about this, Browder let us know that the team is aware and hopefully a fix will be coming soon.

In Hearthstone players can spectate their friend's game, and many people wonder why this feature isn't in Heroes of the Storm. Hopefully we will be seeing this in the future. 

A soft MMR reset is coming with the major June matchmaking update, but there's no sure way to know if that will work. A hard MMR reset would make matchmaking a nightmare for a while, but there is potential that players could purchase a hard MMR reset.

For those worried about their noob games before the matchmaking update, the new system will weigh your latest games a lot more than previous games.

More StarCraft heroes are in the works!


These are some of the major updates Browder hinted at. If you have questions about the future of the game, chances are @DustinBrowder is the best person to ask!
