Why wasnt she released last week? I was Just wondering because she was already in the Tutorial..
Several reasons.
She has kind of a strange hero power, you have to understand the freezing mechanic to understand her well. Better after launch so people understand freezing better.
We wanted some heroes 2 weeks after release to mix things up.
We wanted some heroes we could swap in using a server side patch so that we could swap out the most powerful or broken heroes at the same time. This lets us do a faster adjustment to balance since we can't change heroes abilities with a server side patch.
Cool design, this was actually Sindragosa's hero power for a while in early playtesting, it changed about 6 times before we finally found the one that comes out next week.
