Heroes of the Storm, Imperius is Now Live

The Archangel of Valor, Imperius, is ready to defend the Nexus. The leader of the Angiris Council is now live in Heroes of the Storm!

Imperius is a melee Warrior who specializes in engaging enemies and setting up his teammates for big combos. With angelic might, he commands the battlefield by leading by example and getting into the thick of things.

Check out the attached fact sheet and Imperius’ Hero Page for more information on his abilities and talents.

Matchmaking Improvements

In addition, we recently implemented matchmaking changes to reduce queue times in both Quick Match and Ranked. To learn more about them, check out the forum post.

Toy Event – Stay Awhile and Play!

Finally, because one month is just not enough time, we decided to extend our Winter Toy Event into February to give everyone more chances to play. The board game can be completed 50 times during the event for up to 50 free Rare Toy Chests!

If you have any questions about Imperius, the matchmaking changes, and the Toy event, please feel free to contact me.

See you in the Nexus,
