In a good way mind you.

From what I have gathered from the datamined information from the MMO Champions post (which could be wrong, but for now let us go off the speculation that this is correct info for theory crafting) Almost every Hero gets a Trait at the final level called “Bolt of the Storm”

The only 2 Heroes that don’t have this ability based on datamined information are the Diablo III Barbarian and SC2 Zeratul. They get something called “Resurgence of the Storm”

Again, let us speculate that this is something a fair amount of the Heroes will get and how that will affect the game. When the entire enemy team hits level 20 they will have a the choice of talents and if they pick this one (as they should) their entire team will be able to teleport across the map and be able to target specific buildings or even Heroes. Now I know what you are thinking “That’s way too over powered!” Perhaps, but think about how quick these games are supposed to be, maybe level 20 is one of those rare things you only see when both teams are playing super solid. If both teams have this ability then it will come down to who can utilize it better. If you look at Dota 2, everyone can already buy Travel Boots at the end game if they save for them (of course only targeting towers and friendly minions). As a counter argument, Twisted Fate in League of Legends was a really powerful split pusher as he had a global teleport which alowed him to teleport to the base to punish any sort of aggression. Globals were eventually nerfed game wide in League of Legends. It will be interesting if this is actually something Blizzard is pushing to put out, or is simply a placeholder for a client we were not even supposed to see yet.
