After an unexpected Blizzard’s announcement to cut it down with Heroes of the Storm esports, fans of the game quickly went into panic mode. Most believed that Blizzard’s MOBA will soon be forgotten by the company, but now it seems that this is not the case. The developers announced a new hero for the game – Anduin Wrynn, the new King of Stormwind.
From what we’ve gathered, Anduin will fill the role of support, healing his friends from a distance. According to the patch notes, he brings several abilities designed to keep his teammates healthy as well as “the potential to unleash the Light’s swift justice to enemies on the battlefield”.
Here’s the full list of Anduin’s abilities:
