The hero you wish to see

[Scufflegrit]

Thunder King could also have that wind mechanic that pushed people off the platform. Make it an AoE around him that would push enemies in whichever direction he is facing. Move in behind the enemy team as they try to run and.. nope LOLWIND!

You mean just like Falstads ulti?

[Scufflegrit]

Actually I haven't really kept up with the game in the past few months, and don't think I've actually encountered a Falstad the handful of times I've played. Looked up a video of it though, and no I was thinking less of a straight up aoe knockback, and more of a short duration aura that's pushing the enemy team and doing minor damage. If they don't run out or use an escape it pushes them back, but if they run against it they basically hold their ground.

Falstad is an old hero, so he's... Undefined compared to the newer assasins. Only really used during maps where mobility is key, such Bhb and Sky Temp.

I didn't know how much I wanted to play as Cho'gall until I read this thread.

This needs to happen.

[Pakmanisgod]

Rock and Roll racing map with the announcer as the narrator! As for heros... D2 necromancer for sure.

[Eazy]

Yogg-Saron - specialist like Abathur,
Garona - melee Assassin,
Cho'gall - range Assassin,
Necromancer from D2 - Specialist/Assassin Ranged,

Thing is almost every Falstad takes the WTFLINE of doom.

I'd love that so much... A mix between Aba, "un"dead Leoric and Zagara (her creep) or something.

[Sabrebolt]

Maltheal please! Wondering if they will use a version of Leroic's ghost mechanic on defeat

[ttak82]

Kyle Blackthorne all the way!!!! They did it with Vikings now bringt he king.

I tried playing Blackthorne (SNES version) on an emulator last week - and while the game play is a bit slow, I found it interesting, conceptually and visually. Has a very dark vibe to it. (Was playing it on a cell phone emulator so touch screen controls suck, so I have not progressed far - only got to the the first PW check point).

I recommend anyone who is unfamiliar to check this title out. (Think it is also out on Battle.net / NA region)

I am curious as to how they would implement him in HotS - He hardly has any moves (rifle; mid range bomb, and a dodge).

I reckon Tomator or even someone from Overwatch will come out before Blackthorne. Actually blizzard does not have a lot of unique games - and characters in their classic / arcade library.

Well he is in the game files.

We need Epicus Maximus as a hero

Wow that's a good suggestion lol.

Alt Skin: Turtle on a Turtle on a Turtle.

[grindcore]

Warcraft: Grom, Some sort of shapeshifting druid is needed (possibly Bearmantle).
Diablo: I was thinking some of the characters from diablo 2. Andariel, Duriel, Necromancer.
Starcraft: Adjutant, Specialist terran similar playstyle to Abathur

[Maxilian]

Maltheal please! Wondering if they will use a version of Leroic's ghost mechanic on defeat

Doubt it, even more cause they will want to make him as unique as possible

Garrosh Hellscream is the Hero I want to see.

He should be a Melee Warrior (unexpected I know) and could have abilities like this:

Q: Cleave: (7 sec CD)
Deal X damage to enemies in a wide cone.

W: Hurl Gorehowl: (12 sec CD)
Deals X damage and stuns the first hero hitted briefly. Stops when hitting a hero. (skillshot)

E: Furious Rush: (10 sec CD)
Rush forward a short distance pushing enemys away. (no stun included)

Trait: The Warsong
Automatic attacks increase the attack speed of minions and mercs around you by 30% for 2 seconds. (duration gets refreshed)
Garrosh is granted 1 stack of Warsong with every AA or Basic Ability, at 6 Stacks his own attack speed and movement speed is increased by 30% for 4 seconds. He also gains 30% lifesteal for the duration. While active, Garrosh cannot build stacks anymore for himself.

R1: The Heart of Y'Shaarj (120 sec CD)
Garrosh heals himself completely and is empowered by Y'Shaarj. He gains 20% AA damage and his abilities change slightly for 18 seconds.
Q: Also makes enemys vulnerable.
W: Also creates an AoE that deals damage to enemys and increases ally hero movement speed.
E: Enemy heros and mercs also get a DoT that deals a little damage, minions die instantly.

R2: Chains of Destiny: (50 sec CD)
Throws a chain at the enemy hero pulling him to Garrosh. Roots Garrosh and his target in place for 4 seconds.
For this time Garrosh and his target can only attack each other.
Garrosh also attacks his target with his bare hands, increasing his attack speed by 50% but decreasing his damage dealt by AAs and Abilities by 25%.
Can also be used on an ally to pull him to Garrosh for 30 sec CD.

Other heros are:
Cho'Gall (he is really funny)
Nefarian/Lord Victor Nefarius (even more funny)
Gallywix or Blackfuse (well we already have a tinker goblin but... sometime in the future perhaps)
Lady Liadrin or Yrel (We still don't have a Paladin)
Peasant/Peon (awesome?)
A Villian from MoP, a Mantid Paragon or Lei Shen
Edwin vanCleef (Warcraft needs a stealth hero, although i hate them)
Mannoroth or Tichondrius (WC3 Demons, Hell yeah!)

I don't know the Diablo and Starcraft universe very well, but I think the Emperor Mengsk from SC or another Demon Lord/ Arch Angel from Diablo wouldn't be bad.

[TrollShaman]

WTB Troll Hero for HotS. I know Zul'jin is in development so far, but I can't wait already Otherwise I'd like Lei Shen as well

[Stormcall]

Aside from the D2 heroes I've mentioned previously, I've decided I want a drainei hero of some sort. Don't care who, just want one, can be Yrel or w/e and I'll be happy.

- - - Updated - - -

Lady Liadrin or Yrel (We still don't have a Paladin)

Uther is a paladin, and Johanna is a Crusader, which is D3 lingo for "paladin".

[Deleted]

Khadgar as a badass fucking arcane blasting, missle flinging ranged assassin.

Or Tirion as a badass fucking crusader striking, frostmourne destroying retribution paladin melee warrior

Garrosh needs to be a hero no matter what. I'll play him to 20 even if he's utter shit just because he's Garrosh.

[RH92]

Maiev as a Warrior. Even though I was never fan of her, I think could make a cool hero in playstyle.

For some reason I find the idea of a Warrior with activable temporary stealth cool. She could be sneaky Warrior with a lot of CC, but perhaps with a weaker defense.

I agree - she would be very interesting as a Warrior. I know many people rather design her as an Assassin (and compare her to Zeratul) I believe that she would be very viable Warrior.
Plus she even looks like a tanky Warrior in her full plate armor.
