Previous

First for new hero completely broken

First for Imperius

>not an overwatch hero

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

What did they mean by this?

The Reaper has finally come to take this dead game away!.

Imperius when? Itherael when? Malthael now!

Mankrik when?

He was probably talking about the stream or whatever is the subject there

Abathur buffs when?

>NEW HERO
>op image is Brightwing
Fuck off, you disgusting furry waifufag.

Xth for never ever.

that anonymous posters on Veeky Forums are more reliable than blizzard's janitor who posts on raddish

>Doesn't even use a picture of Malthael for the OP

ONE JOB

It can finally rest

He is going to be op, isn't he?
Also, a fucking quest ulti?

FIrst for Maltheal is overpowered.

>WRAITH STRIKE
>Instantly teleport through an enemy afflicted by Reaper's Mark, dealing 59 damage and refreshing Reaper's Mark.
>Instantly teleport through an enemy
>Instantly teleport
>pshh nothing personal kid...
I love him already.

gui montag when

...

He is going to be banned 100% of the time or winning 100% of the time while making Tychus completely irrelevant

Need a light?

Leave tanks to me.

best girl

Now someone's going to need to update this for Malthael

>not especialist

Let's just take this time to relax and appreciate that even though the new hero is OP, he

-can't attack while moving
-doesn't have absolutely ridiculous escapes
-isn't an overshit hero
it could have been worse

>overwatch heroes do no damage
>meme game hero OP as fuck

APOLOGIZE LETS BRING BACK OVERWATCHERS

>no malthael OP

>that % health passive
TYCHUS
B T F O
T
F
O

being able to attack while moving is one of the reasons i hate the overwatch heroes so much

i hope we dont get any more of them.

>-can't attack while moving
That trait damage is going to be ticking over while moving which is his main source of damage
>-doesn't have absolutely ridiculous escapes
Who needs escapes when everyone runs away when they see you?
>-isn't an overshit hero
That's the only positive

>Tychus won't be buffed to have any mechanics half as good as Malthiel will end up with after PTR nerfs

Don't forget to mention

>Not a meme hero

Fuck probius

Now I just need to play him to update my posts of the sort, like:
>darkflights behind you
>turns into werewolf
>Razor claws your face
>Disengages
>throws cocktail at your face and kills you and the support behind you
Pssst... My curse will be your undoing, kid.

They do no damage because they're annoying as fuck and almost uncatchable.

Kel'Thuzad will be the next multiclass hero. Either assassin/specialist or support/specialist.

Andariel will never be added to the game simply because of her design. It's a lose/lose situation, either they add her and keep true to the Diablo 2 design and face massive backlash from SJWs for sexism/objectification, or they tone her down and face backlash from purists. The best we can hope for is an Andariel-esque skin for Kerrigan.

Fenix will be the next SC hero they add

I'm buying Mathael day one desu, glad I didn't use my 750 gems on Cassia, Probius or some other shit.

>See Candles
>Start getting hyped for Diablo content patch
>Expect a couple of maps like Tristram+Skovos, heroes like Andariel, Mephisto, Cow King, Deckard Cain and Cain/CowKing/Azmodan announcers

>Get faggot angel instead

>BW instead of Malthael as OP pic


I fucking HATE the absolute shitters who have been making the latest threads

fucking this man

>it's yet another generic angel from diablo nobody knows
Why not do some more interesting characters from diablo?

Not waifufag OP here, had a thread typed up on my phone when this thread was made

sorry lads

Probius is a fake meme hero though. His turret does fuck all, pylons are just there to restore mana and pop sick ultimate, and besides those, he's left with an aoe slow and a damaging skillshot. He's a formulaic hero not that different from nazeebo and the like.
>le you can collect minerals that are actually just butcher's meat 2.0

>diablo hero
>not a warcraft one
>not a fucking tauren when there's tauren themed banners
>mfw
nobody better mention that fucking memer etc

Fucking love the way Malthael looks. I'm all for edginess. Buying him on day one

FULL ANGEL TEAM when?

-Tyrael
-Angelic Diablo
-Maltahel
-Angelic Valla
-Auriel

Looks like a viable comp even!

current OP and you are both shit as fuck. You're the faggot that makes a new OP 30 posts early?

No? I almost never make OPs except for odd hours

Just what I wanted, another floating robe to go with Tyrael and Auriel.

>his wings form a heart shape
cute af desu

I FUCKING KNEW IT

>Take some of the best concept art left behind by Blizzard North
>Bastardize menacing act bosses into literal who minibosses
>Fuck them over with cartoony graphical style which robs them of all their gothic and visceral horror
>Write up cheesy Saturday morning villain dialogue for them

Diablo 3 can never be forgiven, I hope Diablo 4 gets it right.

+1

Working on a Malthael maymay right now, my dudes

Because modern blizzfags never played Diablo 2 and only care about D3 characters

Malthael's not even cringe edgy like Reaper from OW. He barely had any lines at all in RoS. He's ok in my books as far as the cliche "angel of death" goes.

That's the truth

Status on stopping of death lads?

Imperius will complete the full angel comp

Tfw the teaser will continue there and the candles will slowly be sprayed with fire

because he looks cool to wowshitters so he's highly requested. actually surprised they didn't hold him for blizzcon as much as he's requested. only the few big missing wow characters and maybe a handful of overwatch characters would get bigger reactions.

...what do you think diablo is?

is there still a way to get a shitload xp from ai games by stalling? if so how long should you do it and how much do you get.

>wanting a 10000 cuck tease
>not wanting a 116 year old qt blood elf that'd tsundere for humans
Valeera truly is best elf

If the damage from the mark feeds auriel energy, I'm already waiting for the angel team combo.
My wife auriel is ready

Is plasma burn (lvl 16) ever worth on Artanis?

Yeah, there was MASSIVE backlash about how much the vanilla D3 bosses prattled on and on and constantly taunted the player. Such a huge departure from D2. It's unsurprising that Malthael in RoS was so quiet by contrast.

Even Azmodan's gag lines in HOTS make fun of his constant shit talking in Act 3.

fuck off retard

No.

>teleport through an enemy
what does this actually mean?
like, you appear behind them, or what?

Someone once told me "there are no dumb questions" but that guy was full of shit.

You have to realize that heroes whose models are already somewhere in Blizzard's database get massive preference over stuff they'd have to remake from scrap - like Mephisto.

Have you even played diablo? There's like 3-4 iconic characters per game. I suppose your one of those contrarian faggots that would have preferred some literal who npc from one of the towns? Fucking end yourself

Alright, fellas, let's try to guess Malthael's talents.
My money's on a level 20 for his trait that makes it stack.
I'd also not be surprised if he had a talent that made his teleport's range absolutely huge.

he was really strong in the original console release, even on normal

the console had better balancing in general, which I don't understand

If you want to waveclear better

probably eventually

Every player character (ok, you can argue that the assassin and druid weren't), and every act boss, along with a bunch of unique mobs (cow king, griswold, rakinishu, etc) and several friendly NPCs from Diablo 2 are all iconic

I'm sure he will have a quest talent that will allow you to spread mark to 2 enemies or some shit like that.
And won't make it out of ptr

assassin is iconic as fuck, she's the most OP solo character in the game

Diablo 3 was the best game in the series for content you Fucking hipster faggot. D2 had best online and player interaction but the d3 story is irrefutably best.

God dam I accept that people have different taste and opinions but when your taste/opinion is THAT BAD you should just be gassed

>Cow King hero
>Can't be bought
>Have to play - WITH A FRIEND XD - in Tristram and discover how to open the cow portal

>wont make it out of PTR
oh sweet summer child how ignorant you are

i'd love a meme character that just shits cows everywhere and that's all he does
makes obnoxious MOOOOOO noises constantly

Level 20 Bolt of the Storm equivalent, instead of teleporting to a location Malthael dies and respawns after 3 seconds, 60-100sec cooldown, doing this doesnt grant xp to the enemy team.

bro that's actually really cool

Yea those are all iconic, but so is the fuckng ANTAGONIST from the latest game. I suppose you think baal isn't the most iconic bad guy from D2?

>start playing D3 for the first time about a week ago
>game is a joke all the way until the Malthael fight
>struggle like no other against him for like an hour, constantly getting one shotted till like 4am
>wake up
>he's next up in hots

I never asked for this.

It'd just be something like
>Mark any visible target on the map. Teleport now has global range.

>but the d3 story is irrefutably best.
I've never read an opinion so shit in all my life.

you're mom

Level 20 talent gains increased damage based on how many people have died nearby (allies or enemies)

>Jaina the archmage
>Diablo the lord of terror
>Varian the high kind of the alliance
>Murky the baby murloc
>These are all on roughly the same playing field
Would a single adult murloc be a cho'gall tier godmonster in the nexus?

>bolt of the storm equivalent but he dies.
Isn't that last laugh?

So what counters malthael?
>Inb4 cc him

Dude just don't get hit.

Varian. The answer to what counters XXX is always Varian.

>d3 story was better than d2
