Developer Comment: After a brief visit to far-away fields of eternal conflict, Li Li returns to the Nexus with a new-found penchant for friendship. We didn't like how mandatory the old Hindering Winds talent felt, so we made some of its functionality baseline and repositioned some Blinding Wind talents to make her 'offensive' build more potent. We've also redesigned many of Li Li's Cloud Serpent talents to make them more individually meaningful and to make the collective Cloud Serpent build have more of an identity and purpose of its own.

Updates

Talents

• Level 4
  • Hindering Winds [W]
    • Moved to level 13.
    • Slow duration increased from 1.5 to 2 seconds.
• Level 13
  • Surging Winds [W]
    • Moved to level 4.
    • Cooldown reduction reduced from 3 to 2 seconds.

Developer Comment: Hindering Winds was a bit too effective compared to the other options available at level 4. Rather than nerfing it into oblivion, we're swapping its position with Surging Winds at level 13. This should open up her talent options a little bit and give us room to make further adjustments to the rest of her kit in the future.

Developer Comment: While we're happy that we're seeing more Lili due to her recent buffs, they have gone a bit far in making the hero too powerful, particularly in double-support compositions. We're reverting part of her Blinding Wind buff, and reducing the power of her Cloud Serpent so that she is not putting out quite as much damage in games.

Updates

Abilities

• Blinding Wind (E)
  • Cooldown decreased from 10 to 8 seconds
  • Mana cost reduced from 40 to 30
  • Damage increased from 132 to 140

Developer Comment: Adventures are hard to have when you keep getting bogged down by pesky Basic Attackers. She is too mild-mannered to demand buffs, so Chen sat us down, handed us some brew and talked us into helping her out a bit.

Updates

Talents

• Level 13
  • Elusive Feet (Trait)
    • Now displays a button on the hotbar showing the cooldown
• Level 16

    • Now provides the Movement Speed bonus regardless of Li Li's remaining Health.
• Healing Brew (Q)
  • Herbal Cleanse (Talent) removed.

Developer Comment: While one of the core components of Li Li's design has been that she does not target her Abilities, we were not happy with Herbal Cleanse and its odd usability. In addition to some other minor Talent adjustments, we've decided to give Cleanse to Li Li to help her compete with other Supports in this area.

Bug Fixes

• Self-casting Cloud Serpent as Li Li after learning the Mending Serpent Talent will no longer cause duplicate Healing combat text to appear.

Bug Fixes

• Sylvanas's Mind Control will now properly cancel Abilities that are being channeled by the target, such as E.T.C.'s Mosh Pit and Li Li's Jug of 1,000 Cups.

Updates

• Water Dragon (R)
  • Damage increased from 192 (+4% per level) to 318 (+4% per level).
  • Mana cost decreased from 100 to 50.

Developer Comment: We want to make some basic improvements to a lot of the lesser-picked/lower win-rate Heroic Abilities. Most of these are pretty simple changes to make them more enticing, like adding more damage, reducing cooldowns, or lowering Mana costs. We realize that the primary use case for Abilities like Li Li's Water Dragon or E.T.C.'s Stage Dive is not damage, but having more of it might help them feel more effective. We're trying to do something a little bit different with Brightwing's Emerald Wind and Malfurion's Twilight Dream by compensating for some of the Support capability you miss out on by picking these Heroics. We're excited to see how these go! In Thrall's case, Sundering was a little too strong, so we're reducing its stun duration.

Updates

• Fast Feet (Trait)
  • Elusive Feet (Talent)
    • Damage reduction amount increased from 50% to 75%

Bug Fixes
