How will players who don't read patch notes know about the new magical armor?

Just curious, as I didn't see any indications watching the streams today that you can see that Graymane has 10 armor in wargen, or that Arthas has pyhs shield.

How will jonny regular know that he should pick arthas vs aa heavy comp and anubarak vs mage heavy comp? How will joe average know that he shouldn't AA arthas but rather focus the other warrior in the enemy team comp?

How will you explain to your already somewhat newbie playerbase that their attacks against X target will do less damage than the attacks against Y target, because that specific hero has something that other heroes dont?

    Armors should at least be mentioned in Hero detailed information (press C). Right now there's really no way to explain or show new players why certain heroes take less dmg (the case of Greymane should be mentioned on his trait).

    Thanks for the suggestion. We have plans to add it to the Character panel, especially once we roll more armor changes out to the wider hero pool. But for this patch we didn't have time to make the change, so we shipped it to start testing the waters and gathering data. We're in discussions now about updating this for a future patch.
