Blizz seems to be scratching some regulars off the community wishlist (DVa/Malthael/Stukov) so I'm gonna guess that it's gonna be Maiev

Either Garrosh or Maeiv imo.

Still leaning towards Maeiv because she has the same green eyes as the silhouette.

Despite all of the jokes on release, Li-Ming is legitimately one of the more difficult heroes to play and it's extremely easy to choke when the resets come-a-knockin'

No one in HOTS really has a particularly hard to land skillshot, getting all 3 missles to hit with a Seeker build is definitely one of the more difficult ones though.

Junkrat has a kit that would translate really well to HOTS. Landmine jump and AoE auto attacks alone feel like they'd be really fun to see play out, what's the issue?

Junkrat is going to be an Overwatch Assassin with extremely high mobility? Interesting new concept for a hero kit.

Unless Junkrat's mine grants the range of Genji's dash, than I'm failing to see how Junkrat has more mobility than like Muradin

Unless the junkrat mine resets cooldown with every kill, has a range of almost an entire screen, and he has a second ability to jump over impassable terrain, I don't think you can say Junkrat has the same mobility potential as genji.

Or y'know, can give himself Protected at will.

Something that's an ever present rule of design for HotS is the need for things to be bottom heavy. This is because of the overhead camera view. If details on the lower half of the body weren't more exaggerated they would be occluded by the upper half of the body. This is why so many characters have thick legs, big feet, and well...

How tired is the HOTS art team of hearing about Arthas' model?

Seems like an improvement

A lot of heroes got visual polish during the open beta. The game used to look really rough by Blizzard standards.

So I guess they're slowing down hero releases and folks on reddit are melting down about it?

I actually kind of wish that this game had a lot more polish than it ends up seeing, so I'm not opposed to it, but it seems more likely that they're downsizing the team.

I think anyone would be assuming quite a bit if they think this will mean more polish

Yeah I mean it's a pipe dream. I like HOTS a lot, but it's janky and buggy in a way that almost no other Blizzard game ever seems to be outside of maybe WoW on expansion launch days.

It's funny that people are getting pissy about Yrel being chosen over Maraad, when Maraad's entire claim to fame for nearly a decade was being the guy who flipped open a book in the TBC Cinematic, stood around on a zeppelin in Icecrown, and then died to advance Yrel's story.
