He only retweeted himself for OG's back to back TI win but posts for this upcoming patch? That raises my hype a bit right there.

Added a new neutral building type - Outposts
There are two of these on the map, located where the Side Shops were previously. Right clicking to channel it takes 6 seconds and then you gain control over the outpost. Converts faster with more allies channeling. Having control over an outpost grants you bonus XP upon initially capturing it, and at 5-minute intervals on the game clock. It also provides your team unobstructed vision in that area and allows you to TP to it. Outposts are inactive for the first 10 minutes of the game and cannot be captured then.
We Heroes of the Storm now lads.

- XP bonus is 25*Min XP to each player
- Provides 500 AoE truesight
- Only gains XP bonus once per period regardless if you have one or two outposts controlled
- Takes 6 seconds to teleport to it (shares the delayed TP duration mechanic with T1 towers)"

While I can't wait to watch pros deal with all these changes, as someone who hasn't really played in a long time the complexities of some of this stuff really makes me not want to jump back in.
All these neutral items have to bring back jungle play right?

Yeah, I mean you can get an Iron Talon again. Jungling is back on the menu.
Not for the first five minutes, and at a fairly pathetic rate after that. 10% base rate to drop one of twelve items? Halved after every drop? You are far from guaranteed to get any specific drop.
(it does make stacking and contesting far more important though)
Seems like an attempt to introduce more randomness and variance to the game without compromising skill or decision making.

It's absolutely amazing and I wonder if any other game developer would ever have the courage to upend the table so many times over.

Holy shit
I've been fucking around and Dragon Knight Octarine could legit be a thing. Get Aghs and the CD reduc, 9 second downtime on his ult + almost perma stun with his W if you go for +2s on his Dragon Tail. He also gets Lifesteal from the splash damage of his ult.
