The abilities look very nice. The sort of abilities I'd hoped we'd see instead of what we got on the genjis and maievs of the game.

What did you expect from Genji, exactly? What did you hope Maiev got? WC3 warden copy?

I'm not sure it's possible for them to have come up with a more boring looking alternate skin at the end there

Imperius's model looks really off to me. I feel like he should be much wider than he is, and his wings look really weird constantly tucked behind him like that.

Edit: He plays pretty smoothly once you get used to him. His Q's targeting is weird - he moves to the location and then stuns in the line, rather than dashing and stunning the first thing he comes in contact with. He's pretty solid at ganks and bruiser-style harassment and his kidnapping ultimate is probably going to be the meta pick.

It looks weird because Imperius actually walks instead of floating like the others.

It really looks like they reused Leoric’s walk animation for Imperious and that saddens me on just so many levels.

He could have had a different stance as he floated. :shrug:

A different stance wouldn't be enough, you need to be able to immediately identify each hero in the middle of a fight, especially at a competitive lev... oh

I feel like Imperius' kit seems like it could be suited to an actual tank, which is funny since they called him a bruiser. He has an engage with CC and a slow. And his engage can also be used as an escape. Also lol that they are releasing a hero in 2019 and still haven't bothered updated their role system.

He only gets his self sustain by tagging enemies with all of his abilities though. I think that will stop him main tanking at least

Agree with him 100% about skins, official stats, and etc. Sad to see that even a pro like him made these suggestions years ago directly to the devs and yielded no results. Imperius is basically a metaphor for this whole game and it would be fitting if he were the last hero released for it.

After the video, I'm laughing at the thought of Imperius dragging Diablo sky-high, telling him 'hey, look at the view, isn't it cool', then gently putting him back down.

i don't really care about the wings or most of the animation gripes, but him stabbing them and lifting them up is a really weird animation. like there's supposed to be an end part that they just cut out.

Yeah, it would look way better if it ended with a slam to the ground or something.

I've been around long enough that the "omg ded game" poo poo has popped up after every major change, and whatever hero launched after the Blizzard restructuring announcement is going to be nitpicked to loving death as """proof""" that the devs are hacks and HotS is finally finished and everyone should abandon ship etc etc etc
