“Zeratul could even sneak by pros with the old cloak if he purposefully played on the very edge of vision, the edge of his enemy’s screen, while they were doing other stuff. “It is especially big for Valeera since it was actually hard to see her in cloak, even in pro, if you weren’t paying really close attention-which you can’t do all the time since there are other things going on,” Psalm says. While pro players usually boast sharper visual acuity than the average gamer, Psalm says even the pros could get ambushed sometimes. Post-rework, stealth characters are much easier to see even when they’re cloaked. Now his teammate and veteran Assassin player Harrison “ Psalm” Chang tells us what he thinks about the other three.

The December 12 patch introduces fundamental changes to the way stealth works in Heroes. Of all the massive gameplay changes that came to Heroes of the Storm at the end of 2017, one is particularly hard to miss: the stealth rework.
