>What hero should I buy? Play all the heroes on free rotation and see what types you like. Don't buy heroes just to get into ranked. It's not worth it.
possibly increase the auto-attack range and give it some meaningful gimmick apart from area damage, innately increase the damage of psionic storm by a great amount while in archon form, or making a 20 talent that generally increases your damage output while in archon form
right now you just don't have any kind of presence while in archon form

Tfw Arthas will be underrated no matter how much they buff him until he stops looking like an AARP member forced out of retirement for a game nobody takes seriously anyways
Blake Williams
this is a great idea. should buff archon range to double. since his attacks just tickles anyway, would be mad funny auto attacking from screens away
Hunter Powell
Arthas is an excellent off-tank.
Nicholas Myers
Make each meteor spawn Inferno
Levi Myers
Didn't say he's bad, just that he's underrated. Arthas makes an incredible pair with a decent amount of heroes, my favorite hero tbqh

Arthas was probably the most unique hero at the time of the alpha, probably even more so than Abathur. >can root >can self heal >can aoe >can deal tons of damage >can stun towers before Sylvanas was even in the game >was tanky as fuck And he still kinda is all of these, when played well he can dish out tons of damage and bail out very easily with the right talents

I feel like one thing that contributes to this is that people lose their shit over retarded ass fucking "-E-sports" but HotS is much more fun to actually play rather than sit around and watch it. Therefor the mass amounts of idiots who judge shit by watching people play, then trying, aren't going to latch onto HotS like they would a million other things.

I love how Alarak is more or less like a protoss Sith, but he's not actually evil, but just with a strong desire of vengenace
Like in Star Wars not all sith are evil

It's a bit sad hots isn't as popular on twitch. would love to stream it but there doesn't seem to be much of a demand for hots streamers
Parker Brown
kek, gonna try this
Brandon Perez
Yeah, I was going to stream my bronze adventures but no one would watch because a) It's Hots b) I'm a guy

So, what is the deal with Medivh in terms of lore? He seems super important but incredibly bland in terms of personality.
Bentley Robinson
obviously, you keep reminding us
Tyler Miller
I thought you gave up, ponyfucker.

Jacob White
Possessed by Sargeras (The dark titan, king of the Burning Legion. Biggest bad in Warcraft) from birth because his mother was the Guardian of Azeroth, and his mother vanquished Sargeras, but with the last bit of power he had, he left a piece of his soul within her womb (She was pregnant with Medivh at the time) as he died. So growing up he had the spirit of Sargeras inside him, which fucked with his personality and all that. He was always a bit schizophrenic, cold at times, just kind of a weird and bland dude, but he thought that was just the way he was, he nor anybody else knew Sargeras was inside him.
So eventually, because he became the next Guardian, Sargeras used Medivh as a magical conduit to speak to Gul'dan on Draenor through dreams, and fucked with Medivh's head to sway him into helping Gul'dan open the Dark Portal, which led to the Orcs invading Azeroth for the first time.
He's one of the most important figures ever, and he's bland likely because of, you know, being raised with another person inside of him. The version of him we get in HotS is him AFTER all of that happened. So he's completely himself again, not sharing his mind/body with anybody, and he feels like shit because of what he did to Azeroth, although he WAS possessed by Sargeras, he still feels like shit just because, you know, he was appointed Guardian, and did exactly the opposite of what his duties entailed.
Nathaniel Russell
And what's the deal with Karahzan? I know the HS adventure is essentially a parody of the raid, but apparently, the butler character and the opera guy were all in the original wow raid thing, so it wasn't completely new stuff whole cloth.
Evan Scott
Oh yeah, and this exists because Medivh used to hold parties and banquets, and plays and all of that fun shit in Karazhan, which is the house of the Guardian, which basically serves as a house of eternal knowledge. So they basically just took that bit of Lore and gave it a Hearthstone spin on it. Which is to say, they just made it stupid and silly for the fun factor.
There are magical leylines that go across Azeroth, Karazhan was built ontop of one such line, making it a gigantic source of arcane magic
Evan James
>people shit on Hots for butchering the lore >b-but it's o-okay if memestone does it
Oliver Ortiz
Yeah, it's all based on the WoW raid. ALMOST nothing about the Hearthstone raid is original, except in that trailer I just linked, it shows Draenei and Blood Elves and shit, but at the point in time which this is taking place (Which must be early on because Medivh is still young), that is impossible. Blood Elves didn't exist at that point (I'm pretty sure anyway), nor were Draenei hanging around Azeroth and all that shit. So it's just Hearthstone being Hearthstone.
But Karazhan is his house, basically. It's a giant castle.
Aaron Wright
Wait, really? What has HotS done wrong? What was complained about?
Easton Anderson
Who even shits on hots lore? Uther even says >Naw bro, it's fine, don't question it, just have fun It's completely disregarded as being canon 5 minutes into the game
Alexander Lewis
>Eredar demon the left of Medivh >Succubus to the right, when Warlocks probably weren't accepted as the norm back then
Shit, they really didn't give a shit about staying within the realm of possibility lore-wise.

I mean, I like the HS adventure. I don't mind it poking fun. I was just curious.
Cool. So, how did they all die?
I mean, they have disco balls and disney parodies. It is just for fun, but I was wondering if the party actually happened.
Sebastian Morgan
Since the place was so vournerable to magic, reality started to get a bit funky inside the tower. Things would appear that didn't really exist and people could get visions that made them scream. Moroes was know to use a blindfold in order to avoid these visions and work properly. Wehn Medivh was ressurected, most of the magic was absorbed from the tower, but the damage had been done, and a lot of people who went into the tower at one point never came out ever again. A curse fell upon the tower, making anyone residing within it suffer a fate worse than death.
During Medivhs youth, however, the tower was a glorious site of magic and possibilities. Medivh spent countless hours mastering the craft of magic and would eagerly display any discovery he could to his guests. He did hold countless parties to revered guests across the lands, but as the magic in the tower grew wilder ad Sargeras control grew larger, things eventually went dark in the tower and Medivh wasn't seen for years up until the opening of the dark portal
Luis Reed
Ah. So, it was a gradual thing not a cataclysmic event centered around one single party. That makes more sense.
And I guess that means the HS adventure shouldn't end on SUCH a massive downer. I thought like demon possessed medivh was gonna personally kill everyone.
Kayden Jones
Knowing blizzard, they'll make the end of the adventure pretty spectacular. They love fanservice and Karazhan is probably the best raid WoW has ever had, next to Ulduar of course which I can't wait to see an adventure of
Camden Rogers
I haven't touched Hearthstone since the Naxx raid. As fucking P2W as it may be now, even I'd come back for an Ulduar raid.
Fuck, Algalon would be amazing.
Connor Gomez
>Ulduar raid they already printed a Yogg'Saron card so I don't know if Ulduar would work as an adventure
Oliver Powell
You give me her fucking name RIGHT NOW and noone gets hurt.
Lucas Ortiz
The tragic irony is a bit thick already though. Man, so it is basically impossible to experience "Karazhan" as it was in WoW, right? The original raid and everything?
I have never played WoW.
Robert Baker
Yepp, even privateservers wont make you experience playing in a guild, stepping inside a newly released raid for the first time together, exploring it's halls and bosses and learning it's mechanics as a team
I really do feel sorry for those who never got to experience that
Aaron Edwards
They had ragnaros in the vanilla set and we still got to visit the molten core, that's not a real problem
Isaac Perry
They're bringing Karazhan back in the form of a new 9 boss dungeon. It won't be the raid, and it won't be 2007 again, but that's the best any modern day new player will get.

He looks like the amount of fun you have with him is proportionate to how well you can actually do with him.

Fuck. I guess I'll skip him for now. I need more specialists. All of my old faves are completely unplayable now, even in QM.

>Tfw your absolute favorite character in the whole game by far from Day 1 of Alpha has been Gazlowe

Jose Hernandez
I love Gazlowe, but every game I have as him I feel like not only am I playing for my own respect, I am also playing him for the respect of Gazlowes everywhere and the pressure gets to me.
Tyler Garcia
Just gotta believe, user. I'd like to have his master skin but only level 9 with him.

So, anyone here played Brightwing since before the nerfs and buffs and changes? I tried her once way back when, after her nerfs and was awful. I feel like I am getting the hang of it, but I know people were complaining her new build is boring.
