Don’t talk smack about the old models or Arthas will slap you across the face and knock you out.

I'm talking smack about the new models, too. Varian as a stumpy oatmeal man with yellow clay all over his armor really stands out compared to Anduin's reasonable proportions and actual gold filigree.

He's a pretty solid healer overall and his Trait is loving insane. I like him a lot. He doesn't come with the heavy micromanagement requirements that some healers do.

I'm assuming it'll drop when the hero is released live to drum up more interest, rather than the PTR-release this week.

No, they just cut dumping a ton of money and effort into a professional competitive scene and scaled back the development team. Game is not ultra-healthy and making GBS threads revenue like League or Dota, but it certainly isn't dying or dead.

Also a lot of those events corresponded to the "watch twitch get loot" type events. Which is the only time I ever watched hots on twitch.

I mean "watched" since I'd just leave it running.

The graph wasn't posted to discuss how fun the game was. But in your own way you basically proved that your own personal enjoyment of the game is actually based on what other people say about the game apparently. So there is that.

Can I ask why? Is it just being excited for a priest character, or are you excited for Anduin himself for some reason

All of the above really: I played priest a lot in WoW, Disc in Cata was a blast; healing in HOTS is great (except for Tyrande, wtf is up with that); and Anduin is the probably my favorite overall character in Warcraft, even back when he was a boy standing dumbly in Stormwind Castle.

I mean when you say that Anduin has always been your favorite character, what reaction did you expect? It's pretty surprising.

through thousands of posts in D&D over a decade, I now believe I know what I'm talking about. if I post forcefully and confidently, I can convince others that is true. no one sees through my facade.
So Anduin seems to be living up to the norm of being ridiculously good at launch.

That's fair. I was never super into the lore most of the time but I read some of the Cata/Warlord era books and liked them.
