I'm not sure but he was my main man and I'm stinking mad. Sizzling attacks giving extra range was great, and imo both his ultimates are mediocre as they dont fit his kit. got really good as him too it's a shame. I suppose he's still viable. Like, yeah I can combine all his crazy moves together into something that works and have great fun experimenting but Zul'jin is great at keeping on the offensive, can recharge his batteries, and Tazdingo is great at baiting people into trying to merk you down and getting slammed with 50 axes to the face. Plus, he's my favorite WC2 hero and even tho he's dead in the lore he went down losing and eye and an arm beforehand which is kinda cool.

If you ever nerf my guy, take away his throwing arm just to prove how much you hate the fun I'm having. I'm secretly hoping that he's not even a great assassin and I'm just good at him. He's only listed as tier A on some list I found.

Why would you not take the good ultimate tho

Hi!
I take it Alexstrasza was up next in the fairly accurate list of upcoming hero releases that was floating around a few months back?

Dire Human posted:

Tiny brain: Alexstrasza as a sexy lady all the time
Big brain: Alexstrasza as a sexy lady that turns into a big dragon for one of her ults
Ascended brain: Alexstrasza is always a big dragon and turns into a bigger dragon with one ult and a gigantic lane-filling dragon as the other ult

Don’t gently caress this up Blizzard

Someone gets it.
Why even have a "dragon" if it doesn't even fill in the basic premise of "giant lizard".
Just make it Azmodan sized or slightly smaller, who gives a drat.

Tits are a good marketing decision to make more money, I know that Blizzard don't have high opinions of their players outside of wanting t'n'a.

The other remaining hero on the leaked list was a Firebat, so I can see the Blizzcon cinematic featuring a fire-breathing dragon and a fire-breathing Terran.

I can also see them revealing a totally unexpected hero too since they've done that in the past when other leaks appeared, so who knows.

I was planning to make at least 1x of each seasonal skin at the end of the event but countess kerrigan just looks so gross in-game. Her posture with that dress just looks wrong. And that mount is grimy. Idk if I'll even bother getting one of her.

Scarecrow Xul is very cool though even if 1600 feels expensive for anything.

There's also rumors of Hanzo. And they're totally gonna do this and I'll want to die:

i gonna guess alextraza is gonna blaze it up in the cinematic, then hanzo shows up, gonna say she isnt the only dragon, say that thing in japanese and use his dragon ultimate, both the dragons clash.

I saw someone on reddit post a mockup of Zenyatta in the SC2 engine and it made me REALLY excited for the possibility of him. I think he would be great.

People whine about Overwatch characters but people also whine about Warcraft characters so I can't really take that complaint seriously just like I think the Warcraft whining is nonsense (edit: see the nonsense post above me). I'd still love to see: Winston, Mei, Reinhardt, Sombra, and Doomfist. I think all of those would work really well in HOTS. Reinhardt especially for one reason: We'd get a Reinhardt announcer pack

Not at all looking forward to Winston. Another high mobility attack-while-moving hero that will probably synergize with Tracer. I hope Overwatch just fails in the next year before we get him.

There is no way Overwatch fails in the way you're hoping and literally every Overwatch character will be added to HotS eventually.

Real talk there are a few characters I don't see them bringing to HOTS: Torbjorn, Bastion, Soldier, McCree, Reaper, Widowmaker, Phara, Roadhog, MMMMaybe Symmetra? Though I could see Symm working maybe.

Roadhog, McCree, Soldier, Torbjorn and Widow I think are never getting added because they have characters that are too similar in HOTS already. I don't think Phara would really work at all, because at least with like Winston he'd eventually have to come down from the air. Reaper doesn't seem like he'd really... do anything and Bastion just seems like he'd be a slightly modified Sgt Hammer.

edit: Of course what do I know, if loving Hanzo gets in who does NOTHING interesting I guess anyone can get in

What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee

Besides Roadhog and Soldier , I kinda disagree. Sure, widowmaker is close to Nova, but there are a lot of different ways you could take a sniper character. I mean, the two big changes - widowmaker isn't stealthed and gets a movement ability. Even if the Q is exactly the same, now you've got a sniper hero that is more about getting a good angle safely.

He should be a modular hero. Each 4-7-10 talent tier is a different skin - so you'd choose whether you want tank treads, legs, or bicycle wheels at level 4, a body part at level 7, and a head at level 10. You effectively actually build your character through talents and skins.

Also, like skins, each is only obtainable through lootboxes
