After a couple of teaser images over the weekend, Blizzard has revealed the latest hero that will join Heroes of the Storm.<\/p>\n

Many have guessed right, it’s Mei from the Overwatch.<\/p>\n

Mei-Ling Zhou will be the ninth Overwatch hero that will join the Nexus.<\/p>\n

Mei is an exceptionally talented scientist who has taken the fight to preserve the environment into her own hands.<\/p>\n

Unlike her “Damage” role in Overwatch, in Heroes of the Storm, she will have the role of a tank hero. Her primary strength is crowd control with a lot of freeze effects that will slow, root, and stun her enemies.<\/p>\n

Each of her abilities has some kind of a CC effect, with her Q providing slow and blind, W is a zoning tool with slow and potential stun, while her E grants her mobility both for offensive plays(knockback and slow) and as an escape tool. Both her Heroics are primarily CC tools as well.<\/p>\n

Her kit is generally quite different than the one she has in Overwatch, and at first glance, it looks really interesting to play.<\/p>\n

Mei is available on PTR servers today, and it will come to live servers next Tuesday (23 June).<\/p>\n

Along with Mie’s release, Nexomania 2 event<\/a> will come as well, with new skins for Malganis, Imperious and Li Li, all luchador-themed. There’s also a new rat mount and a new announcer.<\/p>\n
