A few weeks ago, Blizzard announced that they would adding two new heroes to Heroes of the Storm. These heroes are from the Diablo franchise, specifically the Wizard from Diablo 3 and the Necromancer character from Diablo 2. In fact it looks like Blizzard has made the Wizard character playable.
The Wizard character is called Li-Ming and her abilities include Magic Missiles, Arcane Orb, and Teleport. Her heroic abilities include Disintegrate and Wave of Force. Fans are going to love playing with these classic characters.
Aside from making the character playable, Blizzard is also holding two special events which will run until the 1st of March and the first will have players completing 25 games. If they do, they will be awarded a Monkey Elder holiday portrait. The second event is called Catch the Monkey Elder. Players will chase after a monkey carrying a red envelope filled with gold, and if caught, 100 gold will be awarded to allies with an active Monkey Elder special event quest.
This is a good time to get back into the game, and I bet that’s just what Blizzard is thinking. This should entice new and veteran players to play. The necromancer should be playable very soon as well.
