Shortly after publication the new Heroes of the Storm heroine Maiev there is already a small update with changes.

The background to the adjustments is the fact that Maiev was quite "overpowered", that is, came over strong in the nexus and left her opponents little chance. But what do you want from Illidan's jailer Expect other things too, the job calls for a certain degree of hardship.

Heroes of the Storm developers explain the changes

The Heroes of the Storm Blizzard's Balancing Team also provides an explanation of the changes and the reasons behind them:

"Developer comment: Maiev virtually destroys her opponents in the Nexus (and she should), but she is a little more deadly than we intended. In addition, the Guardian is a bit too resilient, which means that she can often reset her fan of daggers and ignore her opponents. That's why we've removed the extra armor from Reflexes the Guardian, while slightly reducing the damage she does, so she has to spend a little more time in team fights to take down her opponents.

Even after these changes, we will continue to monitor Maiev closely to ensure she is resilient enough to fulfill her role as a melee assassin. At the same time, their opponents shouldn't get the feeling that they can counter Maiev with difficulty or not at all. "
