▲ High priestess, Tyrande, is the newest hero being re-worked.

The Heroes of the Storm team made their presence known at Gamescom this year in Cologne, Germany. While the community was under the impression that only the updated Hanamura map and the new hero, Mephisto, were being shown, Blizzard had something else lurking in the shadows.

While Jaehyung "Chu8" Park, a popular Heroes' streamer was broadcasting at the event, it was brought to his attention that a familiar hero looked...a little different.

Tyrande Whisperwind, the secondary Support character that the development team has tweaked over and over to allow her kit to thrive on the battlefield while feeling rewarding to play, was given a facelift in the form of a re-work.

Reddit user (Elitesparkle) was quick to the action, taking the updated talents and abilities from the live stream and sharing them online. The leaked information can be found below regarding her new kit and updated talent tree.
