SUMMARY
- New Hero: Bru'kan!
- New System: Buddies! Every Hero in Battlegrounds now gets a special Buddy Minion that is ONLY for them, that you get when you fill a powerbar. On filling the first tick of this power bar you get 1 Buddy minion. On completing the bar you get 2 more, so enough to make a triple!
- Getting to the first tick on your Buddies powerbar is supposedly going to happen around Tavern Tier 2 or turn 5.
- We can assume that every Buddy will have some interaction with what makes a Hero work, or what makes a Hero special. Example: New Hero Bru'kan has a buddy that stores the uses of his Hero Power and unleashes them again with a deathrattle!
- New Heroes: Vanndar Stormpike & Drek'thar!
- New Hero: Tavish!

i f***ing love the quests
This really is a game changer. This can make bad heroes good, especially if their hero power can't really be buffed without becoming broken.
So, will N’Goth get a new one or keep his fish?
There's always a bigger fish.
This is a good balancing tool for old bad heroes but other than that... I am not a fan of this use of the weapon slot
What else were they going to use it for? Not like you can let players equip weapons to bash the opponents. There's no interaction during turns.
They could have introduced some kind of button you can push during game play or something, but is that that interesting? I think this sounds way cooler and introduces a TON of customizability. I like it.
Also, belatedly realize that to introduce something as simple as "push a button during your game play turn" they'd have to sort out the whole mess of de-synchronized combat turns and how some people skip through animations entirely. I think they probably didn't want any part of that. xD
My gosh his video was all over the place. Like he was reading a hostage note. My dudes eyes were reading a teleprompter haha. Interesting changes though! Woooooot
