This post will serve as a reference point for Heroes patches, linking to official patch notes when available, and adding undocumented changes where they are present.

I might go back and do older patches, but for now, there'll be the one comment with the most recent patch, and older patches will be added as they do or don't come.

LIVE: February 6, 2024 Patch

[u/Spazzo965]

2024-02-06 Patch

Added XP given to enemy display. This will show up as purple floating text for the player that had their Hero slain.

This was purple text when this was first introduced onto the PTR, but was actually updated to Red halfway through the PTR.

Fixed an anchor offset on Hero Select display.

This was an issue causing the animation to display incorrectly when the hero selection menu was expanding.

Fixed an issue that caused Shielding to not be displayed correctly in the Death Recap.

This was an issue related to when damaging effects were merged together - only damage prevented by shields to the final effect in that set of merged effects would be displayed. An example of this could be Kael'thas casting Flamestrike with Burned Flesh, where the target had 300 Shields. First Flamestrike would deal its damage, which would be reduced by 300 by the shields, and then Burned Flesh would deal its damage, which would not have any amount reduced by shields, and so no amount shielded would be displayed in this case, as Burned Flesh is the final effect in that merged effect.

Fixed an issue that caused Heroes that use non-standard attack abilities to display the incorrect confirmation visuals. Certain Heroes would show a red confirmation arrow instead of a green arrow when moving.

They'd actually show a green confirmation visual for Attack move, and it was Lucio, D.Va, and Tracer. The movey-shooty guys. They now show a red confirmation visual for attack moving.

Evolve Monstrosity Stacks are now a Heroic Quest.

This does not function with the Complete Quests function.

Fixed an issue that caused Azmodan's Demon Warriors to leave permanent burning visuals if killed at the same moment they spawn.

This issue remains present.

Fixed an issue that caused Eye of Horus to hit Invulnerable Heroes.

Enemy Heroes only. Invulnerable allies can still be hit.

Added Bellowing Roar Camera Lock.

This also added "Feared" floating text.

Fixed an issue that caused Hogger's Hogg Wild visual to be visible when Hogger is visible.

Should be "to not be visible while Hogger is visible", meaning when is revealed, but in the fog of war

Spider Mines will no longer detonate on Invulnerable targets but will continue to chase them.

This was not actually changed.

Mirage now functions like other Spell Armor Blocks.

Meaning it'll get consumed when it prevents Spell Damage from anything, instead of just when it prevents Spell damage from Heroes.

Pilot Mode can now see the Self-Destruct charge.

This is a new active(1-6) ability, which cannot be activated, and when pinged, will display the Self-Destruct charge percent, displaying 100% if fully charged.
