Excitement awaits during this year’s Lunar Festival event! Over the next few weeks, you’ll be racing to complete new special event quests that offer handsome rewards, you’ll find a few new skins and mounts in the Shop, and you may even spot a few fireworks at the end of your matches. The revelry kicks off Tuesday, January 24, lasts until February 14, and you’re invited to join in the festivities!


Complete the Rooster Race!



Each day during this year’s Lunar Festival event, you’ll receive a new quest to complete the Rooster Race. If any players on your team have not yet finished that day’s quest, there’s a chance that the Lunar Rooster will appear near your Core before the match begins. Many festive items will also be scattered around your team’s starting area. Work together with your allies to collect the required items and return them to the Rooster to advance its position. Return four items before time runs out to help your Rooster cross the finish line!

I do not like how Blizzard continues to lock unique Mounts into Bundles. I would like to just buy the Nimbus Cloud and not have to also buy the Lunar Li-Ming and Monkey King Samuro Skins along with it.

Yeah I find that a bit frustrating, they did the same thing for the felsaber mount. Which I would love to have just don't want the hero and skin attached to it since it's not really my style.

Agreed. I just wanted the Felsaber for Illidan but I have to also get the Demon Hunter Valeera Skin that I am not all that into? :|
