Heroes Brawl mode comes out of hibernation with top-notch cinematic trailer

If you want to know the type of madness Brawl mode will bring to the game-- just watch the trailer.

Watch the cinematic below:

Cool, now we are on the same page. Heroes of the Storm has always been a casual game (easy to learn, hard to master) and with the inclusion of Brawl mode, players finally have a way to unwind between matches. The rules are made up and the points don't matter.

Or do they?

There seems to be a lot more to brawl mode than meets the eye. Since it's reveal at 2015's BlizzCon, the mode has seemed to evolve to more than just "wacky rule sets and hero selection".

Official Heroes Brawl page.

This image pulled from the official Brawl website shows a new type of hero selection from a group of 3 at a time:

Mutators, Arenas, Single lanes?

Arenas seem to be alternate battlegrounds that are designed for team fights and nothing else. They seem drastically smaller and are usually focused around some sort of epic fight between giant boss mobs in the center. The three Arenas so far as as follows:
 

• PUNISHER ARENA

  • Rack up points by killing enemy heroes and Punishers. The first team to score 100 points wins!
     

• SKY TEMPLE ARENA

  • Capture temples and use their energy beams to destroy the enemy core!
     

• GARDEN ARENA

  • Kill the Garden Terrors and Shamblers, then collect their seeds. The first team to collect 100 seeds wins!
     

Mutators on the other hand, are just a unique word for modifers. These are settings that will drastically change the mechanics of the game. Similar to the Brawl mode in Hearthstone, we can expect some serious breaking of the rules from this category. Think no heroic cooldowns, permanent mount speed, dupilicate heroes, Heals that do damage to enemies instead-- who knows what we might expect.
