Changes to heroes on Blizz website

As you may have noticed, some of the heroes got changes on the Blizz website. I assume these are upcoming buffs/nerfs. They only take into account numbers from the heroes' base kits, does not take into account talents or cooldowns

Here's some that I've found:

Lucio: Passive crossfade healing increased from 16 hps to 25 hps

Uther: Passive armor reduced from 25 to 15

Healing on Q slightly increased for both Uther and ally heal

Damage and heal on W slightly increased

Garrosh: Taunt duration on ult increased from 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds

Auriel: Hope generation from hero damage increased from 40% of damage dealt to 50%

Detainment strike damage reduced if not wall stunned, slightly increased if wall stunned

Will update this with any more that I find/people tell me about

E:

Butcher: Meat gained from hero kills reduced from 25 to 20, meat lost upon death increased from 10 to 15

    I imagine that they removed the level 7 talent.

    You're a smart guy.

    I know a lot of people thought this talent should be removed, but could you give me a little more details on why you (Blizz) personally felt that it should be removed? This was always my go to talent on Auriel, so this feels real bad man. Do you have a new lvl 7 talent to replace this one?

    We're trying to narrow the gap between an Auriel that has one incredibly high damage dealer that can keep her energy high enough that Bursting Light is between a 50% and 100% increase to her healing throughput, and the rest of the scenarios where she has a less than perfect Hope generator.

    We thought this gave us a couple wins. It makes her less powerful in the double support compositions that protect the hyper-carry, which we'd like to see less of. It buffs her for the overall masses, where her winrate is pretty average, while nerfing her in the highest tiers of play. It also will open up more Talent options at level 7, because Bursting Light was far and away the most powerful Talent on the tier.
