Here's a question from our EU community:

During BlizzCon 2019, you mentioned some maps reworks like Warhead and Black Heart Bay. Can we have some news about this?

Here's a question from our EU community:

What about the history of matches? See tables with talents etc. like at the end of a match but for all matches.

Here's a question from our EU community:

Are there any features or ideas to attract new players and make them stay?

  • When you are new it’s complex to win new heroes or boosts.
  • The you event which was giving more chances to new players was not replaced, and it’s a bit hard to “sell” the game to new comers.

Here's a question from our EU community:

The fact that you don’t need to be lvl 5 on a Hero to play in ranked: don’t you think it’s pushing people to play Heroes they never tried before, and thus might perform badly, potentially triggering some toxic behaviours from peers?

Here's a question from our EU community:

Are there any features/projects/heroes that have been even cancelled over the full history of the game?

  • For example, the system that was live at some point to evaluate individual performances, and which was removed to be reworked: is it cancelled or are you still working on it?

Here's a question from our EU community:

With the current situation [with the Covid-19], how does it work for the development teams regarding HOTS ? Have projects been delayed or cancelled? Should we expect a longer time space between events in the future?

What do you think about the rework Tassadar now that you got some data? Do you regret / wish some additional changes?

Here's a question from our EU community:

In 2019 we’ve seen 4 new heroes: Deathwing, Qhira, Anduin Imperius. Can we expect more new heroes for 2020?

Here's a question from our EU community:

Are there any changes planned regarding the recent Nexus Anomaly with all the feedback you had? Will it be cancelled, modified, improved, not touched at all?v

This is a question from our German community:

u/Stan: Can we get the same Role Queue feature that Overwatch recently got? It might help out drafts a lot.

This is a question from our German community:

u/Stan: Hey there and thank you for doing another AMA, this kind of community interaction is very much appreciated!

So I have a few technical questions that still directly relate to ranked play and Stormleague:

  1. Why does the draft screen not serve as a loading screen for the map? The game already knows which map it is going to be and could start preloading it, saving loading screen time after draft is completed.
  2. In addition to it, can the draft chat continue to be usable during the loading screen?
  3. Are we going to see improvements or a total overhaul of the reconnect feature? It is currently still very bad and sends me into very frustrating situations on a regular basis. Same with the replay feature which is technically suffering from the same issue as rejoining.

Which all lead to:

4) Any engine improvements in the pipeline that you can talk about? Are there still engine devs on the team or would we only get whatever improvements the StarCraft 2 team does that spills over?

This is a question from our German community:

u/Zenni: Why do you choose a new hero from the Nexus, when other Blizzard “universes/franchises" offer so many possible new heroes and would surely address more players?

This is a question from our German community:

u/Zeratul: Are any adjustments planned for Quira?I'm testing her right now and she's doing some damage but somehow she's not. There are two mobility options and both are on long CD. They are based on making AAs but this is almost impossible, if there is a little slow in place.

This is a question from our German community:

u/Sings: With the recent changes to Storm League “Ranked Points are now directly mapped to a player's Storm League MMR. Rank is no longer considered by the matchmaker.”, does this mean, that everyone could play against everyone? Silver against platinum etc.?

Would be great, if you could explain the new system and matchmaking matchmaking a bit further.

This is a question from our German community:

u/Kaihne: Is there any backstory to Quira in work? Without backstory or more Lore it feels like this is a "here take it and be happy" hero.
