What do you get when you mix a professional gamer from the future, energy drinks, a huge mech, and tabletop roleplaying game archetypes? According to David Warner, senior game designer on the Heroes of the Storm team, the outcome of this amalgamation is the brand-new D.Va rework, releasing with Heroes of the Storm’s upcoming patch.
We caught up with Warner to hear more about everyone’s favorite MEKA pilot and what it’s like to rework heroes.
For Warner, game design is like a constantly-changing jigsaw puzzle with an unknown number of parts. Trying to suss out the best direction to take a design is a point of frustration, but when all of the pieces seamlessly connect, it brings him an unparalleled feeling of fulfillment.
“Personally,” Warner says, “the best feeling is when you finally get all the segments of a particular build in place and you start getting feedback about ...

Our favorite scrapper has gotten a mechanical and quality-of-life upgrade just in time for the upcoming CraftWars patch dropping on September 8. With these changes, Gazlowe—the Nexus’s very own demolition man—has been fully realized as a frontline Bruiser specializing in disruption and zone control.
Learn about the changes to Gazlowe’s abilities, talents, and more below!
The Heroes team had very clear goals with Gazlowe’s rework: on the gameplay side, the devs saw an opportunity to make him more effective in team fights and solo laning. On the thematic end, they knew they wanted to play up the Goblin engineering fantasy and used this as a pillar for the changes to Gazlowe’s kit.
Gazlowe now comes with a new resource system called Scrap to replace and reinvent ...
Read moreHey there Korsair,
Thanks for this. However, since this is not a bug, I’d recommend trying this out in a real game and posting your feedback on the General Discussion forums for the designers to see.
Hey there!
Thanks for the report, we will look into this!
Hey there!
Thanks for the report. This is due to the fact that when you are at full scrap and place a turret while your scrap regeneration is off cooldown, you will immediately regenerate a scrap. This can make it seem like you “spent” less scrap when really you spent the right amount but also immediately earned one back.
I’d say we haven’t…
Our next Heroes of the Storm patch has just hit the Public Test Realm and will be available for playtesting until the week of September 7, PDT. As always, if you encounter any bugs during your PTR play sessions, please stop by the PTR Bug Report forum to let us know about your experiences.
Good morning Heroes,
We are investigating this issue as we speak. Thank you for the reports!
The primary intent for Brawl is to be a fun, casual mode where crazy things can happen. While I get how the idea of making Brawl as fair and competitive as possible can be attractive, a lot of methods of doing so would result in changing Brawl from being a fun, casual mode to being something very different, which we have multiple other game modes for.
That doesn’t mean we don’t think it could, of course, use some improvements, but I think approaching it from this lens is a good way for good, productive discussion to be had on how to improve the mode. Keep the ideas coming!
Hey there everyone!
We pushed some fixes on our side that might address this issue. If you wouldn’t mind double checking the store and let me know if you still can not see the new Skins!
Heya!
I just wanted to pop in to confirm that this appears to be the same Abathur Clone issue linked above. The good news is, as of the patch today, this should be fixed!
Hey
Thanks for the report, I’ll take a look at that!
