I started on this project some 8 or so years ago as an assistant technical designer, originally tasked with simple data implementations of the first sets of maps and heroes. It's painful to look back and see those freshly separated fragments of 'you' suspended in time, but that's life eh? Anyone who has worked on any artistic or creative endeavor knows that some portion of ‘you’ goes into your work and becomes inextricably written into your soul. I’m gonna get mushy for a bit, but I feel I can’t even begin to express how much this game and its community means to me. Just wanted to pop in and give a proper personal thank you and goodbye to all the lovelies that have kept the community alive and thriving over the years. Heroes Developer Blizz_DWarner wrote a personal post on Reddit, thanking the community for the amazing time they've had designing the game over the 8 or so years.

Redditor Davesendave posted all new skins on reddit. A special thanks goes to the Heroes of the Storm reddit community and especially redditor iolixir for most of the screenshots. It seems that all skins have 5 different tints. This year, Blizzard added new skins for Kharazim, Malfurion, Malthael and Valla and the Gingerboard mount! During the event, Winter Veil Loot Chests will drop and they have a chance to contain new and old Winter Veil skins.

Winter Veil will be very similar to Hallow's End in terms of functionality.
