Heroes of the Storm General - /hotsg/

Deckard Cain
A single, completely normal zergling
That one tauren in Orgrimmar who used to get shanked all the time.

Does Vanish drop the charge?

>pic
>Garrosh/Grommash
>Kel'thuzad

And perhaps another Naxxramas boss. Or map. Or event. I'd be so happy.

We'll get there. Eventually. Maybe.

She looks bad, or at least difficult, honestly. Wouldn't be surprised if she became the new Nova.

She's not really difficult but she is kinda bad. Don't believe those idiots who spam "LOL SHE DELET SQUISHIES!!!!!!!!1111 SHE IS FIRST PICK FIRST BAN" idiots who populate this threads and Nova is actually better than her.

No

Fug :DD
Surely Smokebomb and Cloak of Shadows does right

Smoke Bomb doesn't stop the stun but stops follow up damage

Cloak prevents the stun but not the damage

Smoke bomb does

No idea about cos.

>Arthas, Butcher, Zagara and Chen free week

I think Cydaea actually has a very good chance man, the spider archetype is a literal staple of the moba genre and she's the #1 candidate outside of some bullshit shoehorned WC nobody.

Why is Falling Sword so satisfying to use?

But why is it so sh*t?

Because it's like Haymaker where it's definitely not something you should ever pick the few times it does something makes it feel like not a total waste of a talent pick.

Snake is up there as a close second for me, but I couldn't quite think of many, at least not from Warcraft.

>the lich king

b-bolvar?

>Arthas
>Butcher
>Chen

I predict a 20% win rating for the new MELEE assassin.

Azshara

I don't think there are any outside of the naga. There are some snakes in D2 and D3, but they're all no name punks.

no arthas

High Priest Venoxis when?

...

what about hakkar?

He's already in?

>not Hakkar

>Ult releases a plague that causes all players, minions, and creeps to die repeatedly.

Hakkar or Slad'ran

>check HOTS streams on Twitch
>two camwhores now
We're moving on up boys.

>Slad'ran
A literal who. Hakkar is the obvious choice and Venoxis is more noteworthy than the other guy.

You faggot better not be talking about Selenytits.

Vashj, who is someone I'd gladly welcome.

In fact, I'd have 0 problems with the following WC heroes including Vashj:

>Maiev
>Lei Shen
>Garrosh
>Velen
>Grom
>Akama
>Garros
>Anduin
>Garithos
>Deathwing
>Vol'jin
>Cairne
>Bolvar
>Aysa
>Hogger
>Teron
>Mannaroth
>Mal'ganis
>Archimonde
>Brann
>Varimathras
>Cenarius
>Taran Zhu
>Garona

a-a-and i'm not even a warcraft fag

It feels good.

What would Garithos's kit be?

I'd actually be into that; can we meme it into existence?

>angry
>angry about elves
>distrust elves
>purge
>trait is did nothing wrong

tanky af with auras and passives

Where is the race traitor skill?

always mounted as well, has -5% of lunara run speed

build into the trait as an active

talent at 13

>forgetting Kel'Thuzad and Khadgar

it's okay though, I forgive you. Also Mekkatorque and Gallywix.

>Grom and Garrosh
My heart. I want these two to be real in HotS.

The Mystery Snake of Gundrak

>khadgar with meme spells
>Gallywix with his new model

Too bad they are wow character and the diablocucks keep bitching and moaning about them.

I agree the whining over warcraft characters is overblown but blizz should have done something more than "lmao heres a brawl" for the anniversary

but I could bathe in the tears of thousands if they released a naxx map

Adria
She can be an alchemist type, with 3 concoction abilities that combo for different effects. Lore and mystery to pull from, easily. She can even "We sense a soul in search of answers" at the start of a match.

Science Vessel / Devourer
Irradiate/Plague and the other effects could swing teamfights. If Devourer, consume can yield Mana to stay in lane.

Blackthorne
If they pull as far back as SNES, why not Blackthorne? They have all sorts of ways they could build his kit, just from the items usable in the game.

I'd like to see karax in the game, but I'm still waiting for kel'thuzad, I'd like to see cairne/baine too, these are the only three characters I'd like atm.

>Paladin of D2
>multi class as warrior / assassin / support

>trait : auras. Choose which aura is active with 1, 2 and 3. Every nearby allies will benefit from your auras
1 : prayer, improve health regeneration per seconds
2 : Defiance, reduce damages taken from an AA by X%, it have Y charges and Z seconds of cd. (so the charges are shared between people that benefit from this aura)
3 : might, improve AA damages by X%

>Q : smite, stun the target for x seconds
>W : charge an enemy and bash him
>E : Holy bolt : throw a holy bolt that heal an ally or deal damages to an enemy.

R1 : Fist of Heaven, Lightning attack from the sky to a target, summon lightning bolt on impact.
R2 : Zeal (passive), Your auto attacks will hit 3 times
Ideas for talents :
>meditation : Instead of prayer, you now have mediation that improve both health and mana regen.
>salvation : instead of Defiance, you will reduce damages from spells
>thorns : instead of might you will deal X% of damages received

lvl 7 tier :
>dragon : grants you the aura holy fire permanently (on top of your trait), that deal x damages to nearby enemies (works like burning rage)
>lawbringer : grants you the aura sanctuary permanently (on top of your trait), that deal x damages to nearby enemies and push and knockback them, trigger every X seconds.
>doom : grants you the aura holy freeze, that slow nearby enemy by X% for Y seconds. It trigger every Z seconds.

for the lvl 20 tier :
>fanaticism : you gain a 4th aura that Improve attack speed and damages of the auto attack.
>R1 : Bolt of Heaven. Instead of lightning bolt, summon holy bolt on impact.
>R2 : you hit 5 times

and for any level you want to put them
>holy shield : grants you the holy shield that reduce damages taken by X%
>redemption : redeem corps of minions and heroes that dies nearby for Health and mana.

Only thing I'm quite sad, he doesn't have hammer.

>No love ever for Nobundo

deepestLorecharacter outside of wc3

Soon

Grom should be a Garrosh skin

Or the other way around

>Baal
>Maiev
>Imperius
>Gromm
>Garrosh
>Deckard Cain
>Deathwing
AHHHHHHH ALL OF THE POTENTIAL

>Aidan
Wait a fucking second. Diablo 2 Aidan? The Dark Wanderer? What'd he do? He'd probably spawn these miscreations or whatever, but that's it I think?

>Varimathras
>Vashj
>Baal
>Stukov
How many Blood sacrifices I have to make?

Aidan is I think the Diablo 1 warrior who turned out to be Leoric's bastard son but then was resurrected as a nephilim in Diablo 3?
youtube.com/watch?v=LIy9no_GXHc

I imagine him as some kinda heavy zone control warrior. Just shit out minor minions and lingering fire everywhere.

His ult just turns him into Diablo proper.

>but then was resurrected as a nephilim in Diablo 3
Where did you ever get that idea? He shoved the soulstone into his own head and become Diablo's new host in 2.

determines which aidan/d1 warrior/dark wanderer they use
could load him up with d1 spells or have him using spoopy demon summons or have him use the effect of the red soulstone shard from d3 they just added which is basically diablos firestomp

Maiev

Maiev

>what'd he do

be a walking DoT AOE that passively spawns hyperaggressive summons and leaves behind a trail of poison. can turn into prime evil diablo for his first heroic, gets a tweaked version of apocalypse for his second one.

he was in d3 as well rite

No.

>warrior of Diablo 1
>trait is "the dark wanderer" : instead of dying, you turn into a dark wanderer that let a fire on your footstep. You can also summon demons and soak xp while you're dead.
>a talent lvl 20 would be that once you're killed and turned into the dark wanderer, you can transform yourself into Diablo

>shitter friend who lucked into masters last season now stuck at plat 1 forever
>meanwhile I got my shit together and forced myself to climb from gold 5 to plat 1

EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER NOW

>triple diablo teamfights if theres an aba

I don't even know about this game anymore. I've played games like League for six years, DotA 2 on and off for two, other competitive games for similar times with wider gaps in between.

And in those times, not once have I raised my voice and hit the point where I was so salty that I raised my voice at any of my friends.

This is singlehandedly the one game that has managed to make me so furious so consistently that it holds the title as the one game that is my stonewall attitude's kryptonite.

Half of the warriors are functionally worthless, others are technical clones of another and find themselves to be hands down better. Depending on the Warrior, assassins are a pointless class to have beyond the burst casters in the roster. Supports usually contain the ability to solo kill you with zero risk on their part, and the only one that got nerfed in this was Rehgar.
To go along with this, Specialists end up being overglorified assassins or overglorified supports. Hell, the single biggest slap in the face is fucking Abathur.

Unlike Murky, who's kitted nearly suicide into bases and gradually melt down forts with no repercussion, Abathur is just some squishy fuck that AFK's behind fort walls and brings nothing to your field. They don't act as a body to shove aggro off, they don't act as a hero that can handle any objective, they can't side tank mercs. All they've ever done is provide a small sect of buffoons a character to use whenever they're too lazy to move around and actually help with the game. More often than not, I get stuck in a duo lane situation with an Abathur, and, surprisingly, a single person with a floating little shitstain doing mediocre damage for fifteen levels can't amount to two unless you're prot Varian and your team manages to pull ahead somehow.

TL;DR - Mindless ranting and when the fuck is my boy Tosh and a two person controlled Archon releasing?

>implying that would be a bad thing.

>implying i didnt mean that it would be glorious leapfrog suplex electric boogaloo

it wouldn't be HotS Diablo of course, more like Tychus' Odin with big ass demon spells and more HP, and the tweaked Apoc would be like persistent runes that slow and apply -25 Armor as long as you stand in them or something like that.

you can take siege giants as aba about halfway into the game and provide a body with one of your ults
not to mention the double soak and minefield on objectives/choke points or super hat on tanks/bruisers

>Half of the warriors are functionally worthless, others are technical clones of another and find themselves to be hands down better.

this is bait. the only truly useless warrior right now is Sonya, and maybe Stitches.

youtu.be/tojicre_Qe8

Yeah and what if the dark wanderer when he turns into diablo, become the D2 version ?
>aa freeze by default, fire stomp, bone prison, lightning, firestorm, lightning breath

you can take siege giants as aba about halfway into the game and provide a body with one of your ults

>another two-person hero
>after the train wreck that was Cho'gall

If Hots devs were fucking bros, they'd give us pic related as a specialist and have no ragrets

>okay here, have this
>back to Warcraft heroes

I'd be down.

You're right. We clearly need to go deeper. Three-person hero when?

>Deathwing
>requires all five players

DEEPER.

>Johanna's changes rendered her as strictly a meat shield, though that's not entirely a bad thing, but she went from being able to handle threats to being just a slow dying body on the field.
>Dehaka
>Anub
>LolRexxar
>PostNerfMuradin

>Halfway, when you're probably already behind
>Also, extra body is either an overglorified autopush minion or a clone of one of your heroes with no talents

>Implying a two person controlled immobile Assassin with 1 health and a meatier tassadar shield wouldn't be a better result than Cho'gall with his ridiculous health stat and ridiculous mobility

you wait for a locust+ pop your spawn the locust slap the giant then walk back and hat the locust

the clone gets extra base stats and doesnt have to worry about dying so it can go crazy

and how are you behind when aba can soak 2 lanes at once

don't even know who this is but no one gives a shit about retcon wow trash.

how many Russians do we really need

Lots.

>Go Twinblades of Fury
>I do pretty decent damage overall
Why is this supposed to be bad?

Because it's illidan without all the good shit.

But you can stun shit

>Dehaka is amazing on big maps, BHB because of global mobility + a skill that shreds chests fast
>Anub'Arak is deadly vs Ragnaros comps
>Rexxar is still solid on ToD and BxH
>Muradin is still the game's best stunbot
>blinds are essential to counter the inevitable AA carry on the other team, which means Johanna is inherently a good pick - doubly so since she can move in and out of EQ unaffected (trait) / juke Artanis swaps with a basic skill

hell, even Arthas is viable as a counter to hard dive comps.

Couple reasons, but mainly that it's countered easily, similarly to The Butcher.

>he doesn't take the Hunt
