This presentation is weird. It's like... a Blizzard Direct. Are they not doing a stage thing like they did last year?

Oh uh well alright.

Man I really don't like Mobas but Blizzard's art department just kills it in HOTS

edit: Zarya is cool. If you want me to play HOTS though Blizzard, put Junkrat in

It's got a payload! Not sure if it's hybrid or pure payload, but the vehicle has a battering ram that literally breaks down the checkpoints.

Makes it sound like maybe he means there's a rework of his kit and not just "I'm so hyped for Blizzard animated short 'The Last Bastion.'"

Probably hoping for too much.

Hot drat, that castle map looks rather mighty! Assault/Payload is great too, in general I prefer maps where cart pushing is involved. I wouldn't mind if they leaned more heavily in that direction with the upcoming maps.

I prefer KOTH over the other map types so I want more of those, but I do like how this one is like a reverse of King's Row, where you're pushing the payload first and then capturing a point. The payload being a battering ram is cool

Fashionable people,
you're out of luck.
The most dapper one here,
is Dapper the Duck.
The new mode: I predict that the new mode will be the very original, payload/capture, which is very different from Hollywood's capture/payload style.

So, isn't a castle going to have lots of confined spaces/choke points? I smell junkrat heaven (too bad i don't play him)

It definitely would make sense story-wise to have the payload active from the start, break into the castle, then once you're inside, capture the throne room Point B style.

The thing is, everyone seems to hate Point B the most on assault maps. Hopefully they can make this one work.

1) Removed all the bug heroes (The ninja, the other ninja)

2)Tracer

Reworked Recall:
Time Lapse
Tracer warps backward to whatever position it was in five seconds earlier--regaining the HP and mana from that time. No effect on cooldown, gold or experience.
Cast Animation: 0.3+0 (Can be Improved by Aghanim's Scepter. 0.3+0.53)
Cast Range: 0 (Can be Improved by Aghanim's Scepter. 1000)
Lapsed Time: 5
Cooldown 60/50/40 (Can be Improved by Aghanim's Scepter. 16) Mana 150/75/0
Can be Improved by Aghanim's Scepter. Reduces cooldown, and allows Tracer to cast Time Lapse on an ally.

Anybody peep the projectile flying through a window in the castle. Is that just a Hanzo arrow with no team colors or is it a new projectile?

I'm constantly perplexed by people saying they don't like KOTH maps either. I guess there are some characters that just don't see a ton of use on those maps, but they feel like the most "stay on the objective while also trying to kill each other" of the modes, and you start at an even playing field on both sides. I really hate the initial starting point of Hanamura and Anubis on attack.
