- They're working on Tyrande and Tassadar's support talents, and on internal testing it feels like they have two new solid strong supports.
- Kael'thas internal stats shows that he's doing ok in the win ratio category, with maybe Chain Stats being an outlier.
-Leoric is one of the highest win ratio heroes, with a wave clear that might be too strong (along with Johanna).
In the past (5-6 months ago) they think wave clear was less valued by devs and the community - hence why talents needed to have a 300% bonus damage for anyone to consider it. Now it's a major priority.
- Zeratul is another hero that has a near 100% pick/ban ratio, so they're looking at what can be nerfed on him.
Void Prison and Wormhole for instance are being monitored.
- Bans in ranked play creates a sort of barrier since it increases the minimum number of heroes needed for players to try that. It may also create a situation where someone's favorite character is always banned. But they considering implementing that.
- Ideally they would want to address character balance in order for a character to not have to be banned all the time.
- The dev suggests that internally their Custom Games have a drafting tool (not clear).
- They have a list with hundreds of small features (specially on user interface) they want to implement, and prioritizing that is hard. Community feedback has an impact on this.
- One of their senior engineers is focused mainly on improving matchmaking, since the community had a ton of feedback and requests on that.
- There's a chance they will reveal new heroes at Blizzcon.
- They do look at tournaments for both epic moments and for things that might need to be balanced/tweaked from a design standpoint.
