Link Your Accounts

In order to claim these rewards, you’ll need an active Twitch Prime account, and you’ll also need to ensure your Twitch and Blizzard accounts are properly linked. Here’s how:

  1. If you don’t have a Twitch Prime account, you can create one here.
  2. Log in to your Twitch account.
  3. Navigate to the Connections tab in the Settings menu.
  4. Find the Blizzard Battle.net section, and then follow the given instructions after selecting your region and clicking Connect.
  5. When connecting accounts, be sure that you’re currently logged into the Blizzard account on which you’d like to receive Twitch Prime rewards.

After linking your accounts, keep an eye on the Twitch Prime Loot button in the Crown Icon on Twitch.tv, where you’ll be notified as soon as new rewards are available. Once a Heroes of the Storm reward appears, follow the Learn More link to the Heroes of the Storm loot page, log in with your Twitch Prime account, and click the Claim button. Once you click Claim, Twitch Prime will automatically notify Blizzard to apply the reward to your linked Blizzard account.

Please note that as soon as you claim a Heroes of the Storm reward, all future rewards in the campaign will be automatically applied to the same Blizzard account and cannot be transferred. Be sure that your preferred Blizzard account is connected to your Twitch account at the time of enrolling!

To redeem your Heroes of the Storm rewards in-game, launch the Blizzard Battle.net app and log into your linked Blizzard account. Click on the Gift icon located in the upper-right hand corner of the app, located to the right of your BattleTag. Find your Heroes of the Storm reward and click Claim, and then select your desired gameplay region and click Claim again. Your rewards are now waiting for you in Heroes of the Storm!

March 28 Account Suspensions

We’ve just issued a new round of account suspensions and bans for players who regularly go AFK, refuse to participate, or intentionally and repeatedly die during their Heroes of the Storm matches.

These actions were targeted at players whose in-game performance data, combined with high report volume, clearly shows a consistent lack of contribution to the majority of their matches. In this way, we’re able to take regular and confident action against those who are intentionally harming the in-game experience for others.

Going AFK, refusing to participate, and intentionally dying are behaviors that ruin the experience for everyone else in a match and undermine the spirit of competition that’s essential to Heroes of the Storm. Taking part in these actions will not be tolerated, and we will continue to suspend and ban players who do. We’d like to thank those of you who use the relevant in-game reporting options when you spot these negative behaviors in your matches, and encourage you to continue doing so.

Thank you!

March 30 Hotfix Notes
A small hotfix update was just deployed to fix a few outstanding issues, primarly regarding the Nexus' newest hero, Fenix.

Bug Fixes

Battlegrounds
  • Structures: Fixed an issue in which certain Abilities could be used to move Structures.

Heroes, Abilities, and Talents
  • Diablo: Fixed a visual issue affecting Fenix’s walk animations after being hit by Overpower.
  • Fenix: Fixed an issue that could cause Fenix’s model to visually disjoint from his actual position in-game.
  • Fenix: Issuing a movement command during Purification Salvo will no longer cancel Fenix’s firing animation for the duration of the Ability.
  • Fenix: Purification Salvo’s visual and sound effects will no longer continue to play if the Ability is cancelled due to its target becoming invalid, such as when Gul’dan casts Demonic Circle to teleport far beyond Purification Salvo’s range.
  • Fenix: Unconquered Spirit’s icon in the Activated Talent hotbar is now visually consistent with other passive Talents, and no longer appears activatable.
  • Hanzo: The Target Practice Talent will now correctly grant 30% increased Storm Bow range upon completing its first quest requirement.

Sound
  • Announcers: Fixed a processing issue affecting one of the Mira Han Announcer’s voiceover lines in the Chinese game client.
