this is not what I wanted
"goblin engineer who fights by building shredders, bombs and turrets" seems difficult to meaningfully differentiate from gazlowe


it's probably a newer, better garrosh

It reminds me most of the one-eyed junkertown logo. If so I'd hope it's hammond, but it would more likely be roadhog. It's been six months since the last OW hero.

If it's WC no clue, but i'd want dr boom.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I was reminded of WH40k Orkz myself. But yeah, my money is on a shredder.

"Wireless fun-adaptor" you were speaking of.

who, except for people who read quest texts, even know who blackfuse was? A total C -tier character,
rather think it's Gallywix

Pitchfork was wrong. (f)lowers of Algerbong is crap.
I'm actually going to guess that it's a Shredder, but we'll get an OC lady pilot since another male Goblin would be weird after they just added that Junkrat skin

Edit: Blackfuse was actually pretty important lorewise since his designs are literally the entire basis of the Iron Horde

Strong resemblance to the Goblin racial crest(well... the eye-light is very similar at least) so it seems likely to be a goblin of some kind.

Goblin shredder was a cool looking warcraft 3 unit, which makes it quite likely to be added at some point. I like that guess.

Developer interview regarding the Raynor and Azmodan talent reworks.

Apparently, at one point during the redesign Raynor's level 20 upgrade to the Hyperion just made him Unstoppable while the Hyperion was out.

Please not another gimmicky goblin. The game has a very real need for:

Bastion
Protoss Carrier
Affliction/demonology warlock
Science Vessel
Feral druid
Reinhardt (assuming the big mobile shield works and doesn't gently caress everything else up)

Game definitely needs more goblins. Blackfuse, Gallywix, Sassy Hardwrench, Initiate Goldmine... Just put every named goblin in the game.

edit Gul'dan has Corruption, Drain Life and Horrify. Dude has more affliction abilities than destruction.

Reinhardt wouldn't be too bad depending on his implementation.

Charge with stun on wall hit - Too close too Diablo though.

Shield wall that intercepts projectiles and auto-attacks - too overpowered against abilities like Pyroblast, and depending on cooldown and cost it would completely shut down certain mages like Kael'thas or Kelthuzad. Could be something like Braum from League of Legends.

Hammer energy blast - skillshot that does damage, pretty simple

H1: Hammer Down, aoe cone stun

H2: No idea, maybe dual wield hammers like the one video with his mentor?

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
i'm not sure what sylvanas' use is in this game any more, she cant out damage tanks, she cant out damage dps, she pushes which just gets you killed (on any character). she really needs a rework imho

Yeah she's probs on the list of reworks, along with all the specialists who haven't gotten one except possibly Abathur/Murky/Nazeebo.

She amplifies pushing objectives like Infernal Shrines, Battlefield of Eternity, and Dragon Shire.

And yeah she's most likely getting a rework into a more assassin role.

She pushes and dies if she the guy controlling the mouse doesn't look at the minimap or tries to 1v1 a tower with her l33t trait.

The developers did say she has some significant changes coming.

Is it just me or are there more obvious farmbots in the game now? Every other match there's this suspicious character who just sololanes all the time, doesn't respond and walks right past groups of enemies as if they don't even notice them..

I don't understand how it can be difficult to weed out bots from your game, in wow it was always pretty bad too. For hots, just sort your database of players for everyone with a very high player level but strangely low winrates on all toons, plus a high amount of reports for botting, and then send all those players emails where they're asked to confirm that they're human beings by clicking a link.

FWIW I feel like I've been seeing more of them lately too. The last one was playing as Muradin, did all of the poo poo you described. I suspected they might be botting but it was QM so that's the kind of retard poo poo I expect from half the people playing. Looked at their profile after, over 2k games played, only as Muradin, never as another hero. Just farming up unlocks to sell for peanuts, I guess.

You just made me realize why there might be more lately: the event. You get a free random Warcraft hero just for playing four games as a Warcraft hero. If you're going to make and sell accounts, now's the time to do it.

She has an AOE silence and high damage potential, which turns her into an above average Assassin that is unfortunately mislabeled as a Specialist and leads to people choosing Mind Control instead.

I had a game yesterday where the silenced, team-mate pulling back into combat to die stitches would leave the game and join back in long enough to keep the bot completely useless and stationary for the entire rest of the game.

I've never seen such petty dedication to being a shithead in HOTS until my teammate sheepishly told me we were in a leavers que game and everything made sense.
