I'm a little sad that he didn't get a scroll of teleportation(town portal) as a B(creating a portal in the home base and another where he casted the scroll from), which could be used by other party members for a few seconds to return to base or allowing him to return to the fight quickly.
Sorry about that. As a consolation... his hearth animation is him creating a town portal to go back to the hall of storms. So the lore is there (

As currently written, his level 13 ([D] Ancient Blessings Activate Fortitude of the Faithful to empower nearby allied Hero Basic Attacks for 8 seconds, causing them to deal an additional 80 damage in an area and heal for 120 for each Hero hit) is a better Bloodlust on some heroes/hilariously broken.
I've seen a lot of discussions about this talent so far but I wanted to chime in and let everyone know that it does have a 1 second cooldown between AOEs. (

Deckard Cain has the most oddly satisfying ability icon design
Awesome to hear! It just seemed to make sense as I was making his icon set. I'm happy that the visual association between the gems and the horadric cube is being seen. (

Cain is fine and all, but could we please get a balance patch?
Hey everyone,
We're already working on our regularly scheduled balance patch (two weeks after a major release) which means we should have something for you next week baring any unforeseen circumstances.
While we occasionally tweak balance outside of our normal balance patches, spinning up hotfix patches is actually quite expensive in terms of dev time since it takes away from other things we have in progress. That doesn't mean it will never happen (eg. Maiev) but just trying to set expectations when it comes to how often we tweak balance. We also don't want to shift the meta every week by changing things too often since that makes things more volatile and comes with its own set of frustrations. (
