Mephisto will annoy you in Heroes of the Storm

Blizzard has revealed Mephisto’s abilities for Heroes of the Storm. And they are likely to be really annoying for enemies.

Just yesterday (August 20, 2018), there was a blunder on the German Twitter account of Heroes of the Storm. Shortly after, Blizzard took action and officially announced the next hero Mephisto. Mephisto is one of the three prime evils from the Diablo universe and will appear in HotS as a ranged assassin.

Mephisto’s Abilities in Heroes of the Storm

Let’s take a look at Mephisto’s abilities:

Mephisto’s passive ability is Lord of Hatred. When he hits enemy heroes with basic abilities, the cooldowns of those abilities are reduced. The more heroes he hits, the more the cooldown is reduced.
His first ability is Skull Missile. After a short delay, Mephisto fires a projectile that hits all enemies in a straight line. They take damage and are slowed for a few seconds.
Lightning Nova creates a ring of lightning around Mephisto for a few seconds. Enemies who come into contact with the lightning take damage. The more enemies hit by the lightning, the greater the damage dealt.
Mephisto’s third ability is Mephisto’s Shadow. He teleports to a target location and deals damage in a small area around him. After a few seconds, Mephisto is automatically teleported back to his starting point – even if he is stunned.

His first heroic ability is Consume Souls. The spell reveals all enemy heroes while it is being channeled. Once the spell is completed, all enemy heroes take damage and are slowed.
Mephisto’s second heroic ability is Prison of Hatred. Mephisto hurls a projectile in a straight line after a short delay. The first enemy hit takes damage and is immobilized. An aura spreads from this hero, also immobilizing other opponents.
