Hogger isn't really known for... most of that, but I like what they did with him. What I like most though is how unlike WoW, they played up the fact that Gnolls are based on hyenas, so they give him a stupid Lion King hyenas cackle

Never played WoW so the only thing I knew about Hogger was his Hearthstone card that generated gnolls every turn. Thought his HOTS appearance might have a similar mechanic where he summoned creatures like Zagara or Azmodan to push lanes, but I guess the devs are sticking to what they said a while ago about moving away from that type of design. Turning into the Tasmanian Devil and crashing through everything is also good.

Turning into the Tasmanian Devil and crashing through everything is also good. In Vanilla WoW, Hogger was an Elite mob out in one of the low-level starting zones. He patrolled around an area where there was a quest to kill a bunch of normal gnolls for a bounty on them, and there was a similar bounty quest for killing him. Because of his relative power level compared to the trash mobs around him, he had a bit of a reputation for ruining lower level players' days by coming up on them while they were engaged fighting the normal trash mobs. He didn't really do much aside from auto-attacking, but at those low levels with not-so-great gear, those auto-attacks loving hurt like hell, and could very easily turn a fight from, "one more gnoll and I'm done with this quest," into, "OH JESUS gently caress gently caress GET AWAY... and I'm dead. gently caress!" Consequently, he became something of a meme among WoW players, touted as being just as deadly, if not more so, than most high-level raid bosses.

He looks pretty fun. I always liked Hammer of Twilight so it'll be fun to have that on a normal hero.

hogger was the first elite (much, much tougher version of a normal enemy) many players ran into. In the early days of wow lots of people didn’t know what the golden dragon around his portrait meant and went right for him assuming they could handle him the same way they handled the rest of the gnolls. This was not the case.

hoggers hero design is bad. this is a good design: d: you spawn at level 11 with boosted stats compared to other level 11s. you can never progress past level 11 q: passive ability where gnolls patrol an area around you and attack you if you get too close w: nothing e: nothing ultimate 1: nothing ultimate 2: nothing no traits

Nybble posted:Blizzard Make A Character Without A Stun Challenge also yeah it's pretty extremely lol that they correctly identified that HOTS's overabundance of crowd control was such a problem that they needed to do a season where all players have a get out of jail free card and then added a character with multiple stuns and the ability to create terrain

PTR notes are out. They've got Hogger's talents (reasonable, nothing particularly wowed me) and the removal of the Gladiator's Medallion with some fartwords about how it made BIG PLAYZ less common and that's bad because esports is all that matters. They also talk about how they're trying to figure out how to maybe bring something like it back in the future because CC chains are such an issue, which is infuriating because they've correctly identified the problem but just can't put together that the proper solution is culling the overabundance of CC instead of giving players a tiny shield to maybe deflect the bullet if they can manage to build the proper level of twitch reaction.

Thing is, all Medallion really did was force teams into stunlock -> dead team comps because Stuns kind of became the only type of CC that really mattered. So if Medallion was supposed to limit the CC meta game it kind of failed spectacularly.

I will say between the increased move speed and the medallion playing KTZ is near pointless now. All he has is the combo and everyone gets a get out of jail free card every 5 minutes. Even with the medallion going away I hope they give him a small buff, just increasing the speed the chain moves at would be enough.
