During the Gamescom 2015 Blizzard Q&A a new character was revealed – Medic from “StarCraft 2” will officially be joining the battle in “Heroes of the Storm.”

While the hype is certainly real, Blizzard didn’t give away too many details about the Medic, except that she will be a ranged support character "who focuses healing into a single ally and can offer team-wide protection through CC and non-healing utility," according to a press release.
