I want the D2 Assassin. She wasn't particularly strong in D2, but she had the widest variety of fun skills. Strikes/Finishers, Traps, Mind Blast, Dragon Flight, Claw mastery/block, Shadow warriors/master, Fade, Burst of Speed, Blade Shield. The only problem is that her strikes/finishers would probably be a bit too similar to Valeera, but they can go in so many directions with her.

We were just talking about her in Discord the other day. She oculd be great as a Multi-class Assassin (of course)/Support, if only because her traps would be a great enemy team debuff mechanic.

Is Muradin a giant ape? No, no he's not.

Personally I'm just waiting for king smug of the Koprulu sector, Mengsk. I have no idea how they're going to implement him though.

I would really love to see more starcraft and diablo heroes in general.

They recently released the necromancer last month so I was hoping for more diablo stuff. Baal and mephisto would be really cool. Or maybe the cow king.

This Brawl is actually pretty amazing.


A fun one they could do next would be to have a StarCraft Brawl where the only maps are Warhead and Braxis and it randomly picks one of the three empires for your side and the enemy will be one of the other two.

Then I can finally live out my dream of a 5 man Probius team, blanketing the entire map with pylons... :allears:

Goddamn Greymane is fun. It is so satisfying leaping in and getting a killing blow out of a weak enemy that is either out of position or is running away but still close enough for me to get to. I also REALLY underestimated how good his gun can be. I've gotten so many kills from leaping out of a fray and just shooting them to death at range. It's not as satisfying as ripping someone to shreds as a werewolf but just as effective.

I did totally do this in a recent game though :v:

It still has the potential to drag on too long for my taste.

In my book the ideal brawl doesn't last longer than five minutes (ten at the very most) and has as little in common with regular MOBA gameplay as possible. In other words Pull Party, why did you pull Pull Party so soon Blizzard, was that your idea of an awful and heinous pun at our collective expense?

The response to Pull Party was so positive I don't understand why they didn't bring it back for this final week. They should have skipped the Bloodlust one and moved the others up.

Oh so I just found out they made Hanamura no longer just appear to be the worst map to the untrained eye, it's actually now explicitly the worst because sappers no longer spawn, but the core has more hit points! Good job!

Also, you know who I'd be down for as a new Diablo hero? Izual. So take whatever I say with a grain of salt I guess.

I'm not sure Hots can do Junkrat justice as a hero who kills guys by accident. His grenade spam must be able to miss. Maybe as auto-attacks without homing.

I hope that if they do add Junkrat to HotS, they make his trait "deal AoE damage around you when you die" and use it as an excuse to change Tyrael's trait to something that's actually useful.

His auto-attack has a small amount of splash damage, and his q fires 4 auto-attack grenades to random spots in a directional cone.
