No lightning breath change?
Lightning Breath now has a ramping slow effect on it as well. (

but what about Lunara
Soon. (

Does anyone know if they're keeping [[From the Shadows]] with this update? I felt like it was problematic on current Diablo, and with the new movespeed it kinda gives him some insane mobility.
From the Shadows is gone, but part of that range was put into the base Shadow Charge. We felt the ability felt bad to use without the Talent, but the increasing the range any more started to feel unfair to play against. (

Isn't that exactly what you did with Chromie? Almost every time you have done a talent that increases an ability's range, that talent dominates. There are many exceptions, but a lot of these exceptions are for abilities that were never meant to have long ranges anyway.
Yeah, we try to be cognizant of when adjusting someone's range goes beyond adding gameplay, but drastically reducing counterplay or making an ability feel completely different. Sometimes it's okay (like Jaina), sometimes it's better to come up with something else (like Chromie). (

"each can damage a single target like a shotgun, piercing through them" This is not like shotguns I've used.
The shotgun comment was mostly meant to highlight the fact that multiple flame waves can damage the same Hero, so if you hit someone up close with all 5 flame waves, the ability will do 5x damage and healing (also true on the return). (

Quick questoin they didnt show his AOE stun ulti at all which makes me assume its the exact same but any proof for it being untouched? Firebreath thing looked untouched to but just want to double check.
Lightning Breath has a slow and increased range, Apocalypse was unchanged (though the 20 is slightly different). (

Why would you rework Diablo when he was already seeing top tier level play? I would have thought a hero like Raynor, who is literally so bad he can only lane, would have priority..?
We're also working on Raynor, these things just take time. (
