Heroes of the Storm Monk-adding patch is live now

I’m just a Monk a Monk of burning love.

A new patch for Heroes of the Storm added a new character, Kharazim the Monk from Diablo III (which you can learn how to play here). Khazarim excels at damaging enemies with melee strikes and healing allies.

The patch also introduces a new ranking system for the game. Players now need to play 20 placement matches to receive an initial ranking in the Hero and Team Leagues.

A new Battleground, the Infernal Shrines, is coming next week.
