So about Hammer. I know she is in a pretty good place atm (will have to see how that is affected by Ragnaros introduction and Chromie buff of course), but I am wondering what/when we can expect to see some changes that were mentioned earlier when she was buffed last time. She is my favorite hero, I bought her as my first hero back in alpha and haven't looked back even when she was considered bad not long ago. Seeing other and new heroes reworks however I am really excited to see what you can do with Hammer. She has such a unique playstyle but I can't help beeing a little bit envious of having cool and unique quest talents, some new talents replacing some of her generic talents and so on. I hope maybe you could help me out a little today with some small info, if not with specific changes at least maybe an approximate timeline? Thanks for the great work this year btw. It has been a really great year and balance is better than ever imo. Keep it up!

Hey Freecz, a little late but I wanted to give you a reply on Hammer's status. We can't give a definite timeframe, but I can say that work is underway (just getting to the heart of it!), so you can expect something in a few months. She has really old Talents, for sure. We'll probably be replacing the less interesting ones with things we think are cool.

Again, this is really early, so there's always a chance that it can be delayed or shift directions somewhat, but we're actively working on ideas for our Siege Tank in the studio right now!
