Upcoming “Ask Me Anything” Schedule and Thread Topics

These not only help us provide more insight behind the dev team’s decisions, but also give you the opportunity to ask questions and share feedback directly with the people who work specifically on the areas you have questions about.

As part of our ongoing commitment to improve communication, we’re kicking off a series of three new AMA threads, so that you can get answers to all of your most burning Heroes of the Storm questions. Here are the topics and dates for each of our upcoming AMAs:
  • Art and Animation: Wednesday, July 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PDT. (7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. CEST)
  • Ranked Play Changes and Matchmaking: Week of August 6.
  • Hero Balance and Design: Week of September 10

We’d like to focus the discussion during each AMA on a different area of the game’s development. This will allow us to provide more in-depth answers to your questions compared to the AMAs we’ve done in the past. It’ll also allow us to bring in specific groups of devs who have specialized knowledge and are better equipped to dive deep into the topic at hand.

We’re excited to hear from you, and we hope you’ll have some good questions ready for us! Stay tuned for information on future AMAs and let us know if there’s a specific type of AMA that you’d be interested to see.
