After
Overwatch's Mei last June,
World of Warcraft Lardeur is the second character added to the MOBA Heroes of the Storm roster this year. It is currently playable on the test server.
Blizzard has released the traditional "spotlight" video to showcase Lardeur's skills. Described as an unpredictable offensive warrior, he is capable of creating obstacles and inflicting significant area damage. You can find the details of his skills below.
Remember that in December 2018, Blizzard decided to significantly slow down the pace of Heroes of the Storm updates. In 2019, only four heroes were added, compared to nine in 2018. Bringing together characters from Warcraft,
Starcraft, Overwatch and Diablo, the title is downloadable for free on PC via the Battle.net launcher.
