Heroes of the Storm Adding StarCraft Medic

An update on the Heroes of the Storm website highlights more on new heroes and mounts coming to Blizzard's MOBA, including a video with glimpses of Kharazim and Rexxar in action. In another update they announce plans to introduce dynamic bundles in the future, which will offer discounts on bundles where the purchaser already owns one or more of the included items (in their livestream today they also imply those who have already made double purchases this way may end up with some sort of refund or other compensation). Moving along, they also announce plans to introduce a new placement system for Hero League in the next patch, and will consequently be resetting everyone's rank (but not MMR). They are also eliminating the separate Team League, and will simply be queuing five-player teams separately in Hero League (saying they will never be matched against smaller groups), but this will no longer require always having the same five players. Last but not least, this video is from today's promised livestream for Heroes and Hearthstone, including a first look at a support hero based on a StarCraft medic, and word on her and her unique medivac ultimate ability (shown in the video here) has been added to this page: "Please state the nature of your medical emergency for the Medic, a new ranged support Hero from the StarCraft universe that we just revealed during our live broadcast at gamescom 2015! The Medic is gearing up to report for duty in the Nexus, and bringing her trusty Medivac with her from the Koprulu Sector. If you love lending a hand to your allies, and keeping your team alive through a fight, then the Medic may be a good fit for you."
