BlizzCon 2015 - Heroes of the Storm Battlegrounds Panel
Battleground Goals
There are a couple of core goals for battlegrounds in Heroes of the Storm. A battleground must eventually end and create conflict.
On battlegrounds, they want to make sure that there are objectives to fight over and if you succeed, you get a good reward.
For example, on Sky Temple, the large size of the map allows many skirmishes because of the time transitioning between lanes. The objective of Skye Temple causes large fights.
BlizzCon 2015 - World of Overwatch Panel
The panel features Michael Chu, Chris Metzen, and William Petris.
Overwatch has a very diverse world which is represented by its multiple maps.
The Omnic Crisis: robots turned against mankind. Each country had found a different way to combat the threat.
Russia created giant mechs to fight the robot army. Germany made crusader armor. USA has enhanced soldier program.
When the Omnic Crisis ended due to Overwatch but Russia had to do it alone.

BlizzCon 2015 - Overwatch Dev Chat and Q&A
There was a surprise panel at the Darkmoone Faire stage featuring the Overwatch developers.
The team started off by giving some tips and tricks for Zarya, one of the Warriors in the game. Zarya is not a very good solo tank so the devs gave some tips.
You could find a partner and run 2 Zaryas. You both have a personal shield and a shield you can place on the other player for extra tankiness.
Zarya really shines at high energy levels. Toss a shield on enemies that are about to enter combat to build the power level.
Q: How accurate is the team composition tips system?
A: It's not so much that they want to enforce a meta, but more that they want to inform players that many team composition should have a healer or a tank. The more you play, the less you have to rely on the system to guide you. The system is there for those who are lost.

Cho'gall
The team was planning on doing Cho'Gall for a while but there were a couple of problems that had to be solved.
Riding shotgun may not be fun. However, the team actually found it was fun to ride shotgun!
One team will only have 4 heroes. However, the balancing team said they could tune Cho'Gall up.
Cho is the one controlling the movement.
Gall is the caster but does not get to control movement.
Cho'Gall's third ability uses an extra layer of communication.
Runic Bomb - Hurl a Bomb in a targeted direction dealing damage to all enemies it hits.
Runic Blast - Explode the Bomb dealing damage to all enemies around the current position of the bomb.

Unite Against Mechazod Tavern Brawl Decklists + Deck Slots Still Coming
It's time for the first first cooperative Tavern Brawl! You can join forces with a friend by issuing a challenge from the Tavern Brawl menu, or the game will find a partner for you by hitting the regular Brawl button. This Brawl makes clever use of cards such as and to help your partner out.
The goal is simple, defeat the boss card before he defeats either player. He will swap sides after each of the player's turns and one of the following cards:
Overclock is deadly as it increases the damage of both Double Zap and Bomb Salvo. As gets more attack, the harder it will be to maintain a board and the quicker the game needs to end. Remember, if one player dies, both players will lose, so make sure to heal the other player if you need to! You will want to keep your health above the Gearmaster's current attack level in case he decides to use Double Zap or Bomb Salvo. Also, don't rely on a single large minion attacking more than once, as Gearmaster Mechazod will Assassinate the card between turns.
