D.Va means no Rein anytime soon I guess. Still cool, I hope she can eat ults :3 .
Lucio in OW now has healing Aura on alot, because your speed is insane anyway. So pretty much just like heroes, just that you do a shitton of damage, Lucio is the new Genji basically. (that aoe heals and can go into close combat)
Overwatch releases make sense, they covered most popular heroes of the other franchises. And Overwatch is now the new big one, that brings people to heroes.
Dva made a lot of sense, I wasn't 100% sure because while she certainly brings hype from the OW crowd, I thought they wanted to reveal a very big hero like KT, so altough I never quite bought the rumours about Deathwing, it wasn't that far fetched to think one of the most expected héroes could come to the game. That being said I like Dva in Overwatch so I'm pretty sure I'll like her here.
I've been liking all the changes so far, and when you think about it héroes of the storm is almost becoming overwatch in the sense that most héroes are free (with the bundles) and the main revenue is through cosmetics.
My Now my computer is pretty terrible now thats its 7 years old. But could still play HOTS on 60 fps on low settings. Sure it would bottom out at like 55 but barely noticeable.
Though When things get more hectic now in Heroes 2.0 Fraps is reading 39-34 fps. And at that range it is very much noticeable.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Or if the software is just starting to pass up my computer.

According to the 2.0 changelog, they updated (aka raised) the System Minimum Requirements, so it looks like its the software passing up your pc. On a sidenote, the newest nvidia gfx driver from yesterday specifically mentioned optimizations for hots, so if you are using a nvida card that might help mitigate the frameloss abit (?).

No lag from me, which was fortunate considering opening ~70 chests took a frickin long time x.x

How are individual hero levels recalculated, and what's the new cap? Because I had a few who used to be around level 16ish and now suddenly they're in the 40s o.O
I'm guessing that the experience threshold for each new level was drastically decreased so that after level ~15 or so it doesn't take "forever" to progress to the next level?
I got 27 epic loot boxes and I've only played Heroes seriously during the beta years ago lol. Free stuff is sick, got a muradin reaper skin that's amazing. Also gained 15 heroes with the mega bundle.

So there no longer exponential exp needed but it's flat after lvl 10 and way lower exp/lvl in general

Yeah, I understand wanting to appeal to the OW crowd, but I wish they'd render something for the old crowd. The problem with D.VA is that it is very likely she would have gotten some attention in OW cinematics, whereas the opportunity for an old favorite like Kel'Thuzad is very slim.
they pretty much used Overwatch and old assets for the trailer. Everything else would have been made in the usual heroes style Imo. Looked a bit odd to me because of that, but still impressive.
The carbot animation for the heroes update is amazing too. But if you have really strong attachments to certain heroes. Don't watch it, it will make you unable to ever open lootboxes.

go QM!
I was advocating change in valeera, but these nerfs with nothing in return seem like they are likely going to doom valeera.
yeah, I wonder if just reducing her enormeous hp pool would have been better. She could still gank then but not so often before returning to base or escape so easily, esp when 1v2 vs 2 heroes.
Then again, she still got more hp than anubarak, so perhaps shes better fit for a brawling 1v1 style and using her insta-stealth+combo as a surprise now (?). Would have love to see a small heal somewhere though if thats the supposed direction.
But her old gank-kill style seems to be dead now, yeah - I wont miss it though, as bush+1s unreveable stealth + 7 range was too much a reminiscent of beta Nova.
