Changes to the battlefields

Warhead Manufactory

• Neutral swarm host boss
  • No longer digs himself in while defending his camp.
  • Slime pods
    • It is now displayed with warnings about where the slime pods will land.
    • The pods now explode instantly on impact and no longer create pods.
    • More pods are now shot per use.
• Captured swarm host boss
  • All of the above changes also apply to a swarm host that has been taken.
  • Slime trail
    • Away.
  • Slime pods
    • Pods can now target buildings.

On this topic there is also a detailed explanation of the Heroes of the Storm development team, why the boss was changed.

Developer comment: We think the boss on Warhead Manufactory is a very cool variation on the common golem boss that can be found on most maps. However, we had to take care of some inconsistencies. These changes basically make the Boss a better version of himself - he's now similarly powerful in the neutral and ingested state, and his slime pods can make for cooler game moments than his previous pods.
