New HotS Cheat? MMR Reset Possible

This video from a Chinese Heroes of the Storm match shows what appear to be some shenanigans, as Tassadar busts out some basic attacks that briefly cause the game to freeze before killing his targets in one shot. These seems suspicious enough when it's used to capture camps, but then he proceeds to one-shot the shielded core with a basic attack for the victory. This is so odd we were actually able to understand the Chinese reaction the other team, which read "???," "? ?," and "??????????" This matter has been reported to Blizzard, so hopefully this won't become a widespread problem. Heroes had a round of bans over the summer for use of hacks, though some of these ended up being false positives. Many feel the game is vulnerable to these problems, since it is built on the same engine as StarCraft II, which has been proven pretty hackable over the years. In other news related to Blizzards' MOBA, Dustin Browder tweets a response to requests that some sort of reset of player matchmaking ratings when the first season begins to provide relief for players who feel unfairly stuck in MMR Hell, though he's not certain what form this will take. Word is:

@toHodakiLLa Yes, I think when we do a season roll we will do something. I'm not sure what yet.
