The HOTS team was absolutely right to not build a kit themed around an era of WoW where mechanics in a boss fight meant that sometimes they would cast Frostbolt instead of Auto Attacking.

Spudd posted:Her Thighness looks like a lot of fun for my level of play so I'm excited. Plus I like her model, but I'm all about that Gothic/thigh showing/running mascara look. It's a very niche attraction, I know. Her design is horny as gently caress, but it at least looks cool and is not something like Ivy from Soul Calibur which is simultaneously embarrassingly horny and also awful to look at. Frankly I wish they had toned down her alt-skin, since it's really cool thematically but they had to up the ante with some underboob to sell a couple extra skins.

Does Velen do something really memorable and noteworthy in Legion? Because the sudden surge of love for this character is confusing after a decade of memes about how he's trapped in the purgatory of a level 10 zone and how he wasn't even relevant in the expansion that he was introduced in.

You'll forgive me if I have a hard time believing that the story in Legion is A) Good B) Manages to rehabilitate a serially boring character

Lord_Magmar posted:I agree with the spoiler, it’s just Garrosh and Whitemain are uniquely disappointing, Garrosh moreso. Whitemain’s big iconic moment is literally resurrecting her champion in the middle of a fight to protect her, and this kit has 0 of that. It could even just be that the damage ult is animated with a scarlet crusade Paladin dashing all over to hit enemies and it would work.

Kith posted:I used to not care, but nowadays I'm honestly in the same camp. Blizzard has no fear of making up characters whole-cloth to match class fantasies (see: any of the Nephalem) or unit fantasies (see: any of the SCII generics), so I'd honestly rather see characters with unique and iconic moments made into their own thing. The problem is that by the dev team's own admission you can't really do the Resurrect Ult without it either being broken or garbage and considering the history of Mercy in Overwatch and Auriel's own useless resurrect, I'm willing to believe them. I actually like it a lot when Blizzard either creates whole-cloth new characters like you mentioned, but I also dig the way the HOTS team is able to salvage thinly-written third-stringers like Dehaka, Gazlowe, and Rehgar and give them a life of their own. Whitemane is known for her hat first, the resurrect second, and then nothing really. Outside of Legion, where she becomes a Death Knight, she had the one line of dialog and maybe some backstory in some terrible comic that no one read and that was it. But they managed to spin her out into some vicious dominatrix weirdo with a haughty anime laugh, and that's cool too and feels natural and pretty consistent with the Scarlet Crusade since they're torture obsessed overly dramatic freaks.

No Wave posted:i think a lot of players just don't like playing with TLV, like it's not actual hots. It should be free wins vs abathur on a lot of maps I don't think it's a power level question (and I've never seen a viking player as bad as most hanzos). Yeah the Vikings are just boring as gently caress is the problem

Having to self-flagellate at the beginning of a panel is never a good sign. Midnightghoul posted:Having to use characters from other games was holding them back This is a big part of why I don't mind Orphea being in the game. There's a lot more you can do visually when a character is designed from the ground up to be an actual MOBA character.

Mal'Ganis' HOTS model is fine except for the face, but I dunno, I the ridiculous degree of detail in the new Warcraft 3 models feels really off and HOTS feels way more true to Warcraft's spirit. The animations also look really, really rough. Semper Fudge fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Nov 3, 2018 |

That looks terrible, but the shop page for buying gems also looks like the same brand of freemium garbage so we all had to know this was coming. Do boosts cost the same amount of money as stimpaks?

Making QM not a dumpster fire is the quickest way they could get me to play this game more often. I don't really have any strong feelings about the game being better or worse than it used to, I just don't have the time to faff about in draft and play a match like I used to.
