I believe they gave Anub a different voice just to ensure there wasn't too much of Steve Blum talking to himself. I don't really remember his W3 voice, though, did it sound like any of those three? Because if it did that's probably why.

He actually did say "kinky" in WC3 as an acknowledgement line. I was sure I'd remembered it, but it seemed too strange to be real. In the spanish and german versions he apparently says some version of "perverted" instead.

I just think it seems like Basic Steve Blum Growly Voice and kinda flat at that, and the HotS one sounds more animated to me. Have Steve Blum re-record Anub's lines and that'd probably change, though.

Pallytime had a theorycrafting stream for Kel'Thuzad already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sDzZOAS964 A few things:
Overall, he seems to have a pretty diverse set of builds, letting you focus on your Q or a very bursty combo build with a bit of variety in complexity available through talents. How bursty? Pallytime did over 8000 damage in a very short time on the test map dummy at the end of his stream. Edit: I should mention that audio's only in the left channel. He's currently doing another stream where he's trying builds out in actual gameplay where that's fixed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrfz2B9oW6o Edit2: Morales and Chromie had/are getting reworks and Leroic is getting changes as well.

Very much doubt Phylactery will be broken in a game where buybacks don't exist. Might save the game if KT gets caught alone late game, which shouldn't happen in the first place, otherwise he'll only get like 1 impactful resurrection per game at most since his team can't come back with him. Still ok, but nothing gamebreaking.

The Leoric rework looks insane. Baseline cleave+100% bonus damage every third basic attack (matching up his animations), March of the Black King buffed, his Entomb 20 talent silences heroes caught in it, and he has a talent called Kneel, Peasants! I cannot wait for this to go live (and inevitably be nerfed because of excessive whining).

Yeah, it's kinda like the Chromie rework - nearly everything new is awesome, but losing access to that particular toy (basically being able to bounce from lane to lane like some sort of spooky rear end in a top hat) is kind of a downer. I seriously can't wait to give it a spin though.

People get pushing it to the point that it became a meme on WoW discussion boards. I might be remembering this incorrectly. Edit: Shouldn't post while groggy, didn't see the post above me with basically the same exact info.

I honestly don't know what to make of those leo changes. Access to royal or hardened bones no longer being at 4 is a huge deal for his early game. Not having block at all or not having hoplessness at 1 (depending on lane matchups) will greatly change his ability to lane early on. Once you get on into 13-16 things look better. The spooky hand talents, though swapped 13/16, will now do 15% instead of 10. Other talents may be good as well. But the takeaway I'm seeing is that leoric's early game is going to suffer and I'm not going to feel good about him being slanted more of a late game hero when they did just nerf his go-to level 20.

The takeaway I'm seeing is that there's actually a point to not going drain build. There's even less reason to take the non-Tomb ult whose name I can't even remember, though.

I get the impression that she's got like x seconds of healing in her tank and it takes y seconds to recharge the tank. What x and y are hasn't been published yet, but the point to her redesign is that you're not going to have her stalling out a push because she went oom, you just need to hold back for y seconds.

Morales uses 6 energy to heal a tick and after 3 seconds of not healing regains 6. Morales self-heals for 2% max HP when healing others.
