Heroes of the Storm trailer explains how to customise abilities with the Talent System

Blizzard's upcoming lane-pusher, ~~Heart~~ Heroes ~~Hearth~~ of the Storm ~~Swarm~~ ~~Stone~~ doesn't feature an all-hero item shop. Instead, each character has a 'Talent System', designed to let players customise their build as they advance in level. In the new 'Behind The Nexus' video, Blizzard explain how the system works, and how different combinations can produce a more efficient build—depending on the map.
