The plan is to switch to a different set of reduced maps, so hope you like having both Blackheart's and Garden in the same 6 map rotation!

Reddit is extremely red and mad about it though so they might change the plan.

Ahahahahahaha

They should just instate a map vote at the start of every match. And the map with the fewest votes win. Vote wisely!

My two favorite maps together in a small rotation? Yes please.

Edit: Unless Hanamura is part of that rotation, then gently caress it.

Related to Hanamura, how are TLV on that map? Since just looking at it it seems like their kind of map for TLV brand bullshit but I haven't been able to get on and test it.

Watch this for an idea, I guess.

With Ragnaros sort of being a Firelord even though there's minimal ability overlap, we're down to four hero types from WC3 that aren't in HotS yet, and those are troll shadow hunter (support, Vol'jin), night elf warden (assassin, Maiev), naga sea witch (assassin, probably Vashj as pointed out to me by Kyle) and goblin alchemist (support, no idea).

Missing Dreadlord and Pitlord off the top of my head. Kel'Thuzad.

E: Also Zeratul is functionally the same as Maiev with an instant AoE, a slow debuff, and a blink. Still would be cool to get a Warden but she'd need a completely different kit.

I was playing Diablo 2 yesterday and I killed Bishibosh and Rakanishu. After doing so I thought "Huh, I wonder if they could finagle a hero out of either of these dudes." I doubt they'd ever get made, and if they ever did it'd be after characters like Mephisto, Baal, or even maybe Andariel or something.

Basically, I want more heroes based on Diablo (or even Starcraft, but mostly Diablo). Less Warcraft, thanks.

Maiev is never going in because of two reasons: Zeratul's kit and Tyrande's literally Maiev skin.

Same reason Widowmaker will never be added.

Nova's Amazon skin meant that they had to change Cassia's look and excluded her from being a bowazon, so there wouldn't be confusion between the two characters I'd they happened to be in the same match.

I'm sure they can make Maeiv look different enough from Warden Tyrande. I mean one carries a bow and one carries a huge glaive.

That's at least a little different in that Azmodan has 4 legs and is like twice the size of actual Gul'dan. Even at a glance you would never mistake them.

Again, I just don't think it's feasible to include all of them in a single character. I'd totally be up for Kil'ruk being in Heroes, though.

Gul'dan is sort of bits of both smashed together, but yeah, Kel'Thuzad could be the other bits.

Also they could easily make something different out of the warden kit for Maiev.

Heed the words of this ancient spirit.
Maiev's WoW model looks totally different to Tyrande's Warden skin. They just need to emphasise the animations for her bigass billowy cloak and her glaives and it'll be a pretty distinctive silhouette.



She'll show up at some point, don't you worry. Sylvanas already got a completely different kit to the WC3 Dark Ranger, so no worries about her sharing abilities with Zeratul, either.



Absolutely Dread Lord is the most pressing missing wc3 hero though.

I dunno how it'd work, I'm sure Blizzard could think of something, but the Mantid really need to be in a swarm as one unit I think. You could single out one of the Klaxxi but I think just thematically you need to have them together.

That being said of course, there are nine of them. You can't realistically have a swarm of nine Mantid roaming around the map and have it work. I think you need to have like 4 or something and have the other fly in and take the place of fallen one maybe? Or have them fly in for an ult? I dunno. I just like the idea of a swarm of Mantid and I feel like they could figure something out to make that work. (just as long as they don't play like The Lost Vikings).

Of course at the end of the day I would absolutely just SETTLE for Kil'ruk cause I loving love the Mantid you guys and even a single one would be fine with me. Then I would also like a Klaxxi voice pack thank you

Khadgar rules and is better than literally every character in Diablo and Starcraft and most of WoW so this checks out.

He should really have an announcer pack where he does dad jokes and puns the whole match

He really is such a smug gently caress in the latest expansions for WoW. It's a shame how kind of backhandedly racist he is if you're playing horde. He's not a KKK out-and-out hatemonger kind of racist, more that weird unintentional "you are a credit to your race" kind of deal. There's a quest chain in legion where he defends you to the rest of the Kirin Tor, and through the ENTIRE quest chain on the Horde side, he never addresses you by name, or by class. It's always "your kind", as he, in grandfatherly tone, explains why the Kirin Tor aren't entirely wrong for hating you based on your race.

I mean, it's still funny, it's just odd to see.

I dislike the AI for one thing that's very easily fixable:

If they evaluate you as a threat they will perpetually rubberband just outside of your range and never actually accomplish anything or stay close enough to soak experience or even go somewhere else and try to do something.

They'll just sit behind the fence all match long, turn around, approach you, go "whoa no", retreat, turn around, approach ...

Hell, there's ten of them if you include Malik the Unscathed, and somehow I don't think it'd be reasonable to just drop nine additional bodies into a battle as an Ult. Not unless they were all really tiny, like Army of the Dead and Demonic Invasion, and I just don't think that'd do them justice.

Could maybe go for having like a Dread Wastes map, and the objective is the Paragons coming in to help your team? But then that loses out on having them be playable...
