Who are these new heroes?

[Wyrt]

I think it's clear they aren't bothering with race diversity. We've got a windrunner sister for hunter (another elf) and Medivh for human. We have plenty of humans.

They are going for older characters that have been established in the lore, whuch puts Liadrin ahead of Yrel.

Well, then we'd get a male human paladin replacing the current male human paladin which is just all kinds of stupid.

Mage is 100% Medivh.

Not 100% certain on the Elfen Ranger. It could ofc be Sylvanas but my money is on Vereesa or Alleria.

[Orby]

I would love the hunter to be Alleria the mage Medivh

They need to change class cards to alternate name/art.

Magni summoning Kor'kron Elite "FOR THE WARCHIEF, FOR HELLSCREAM!" is wrong.
Alleria summoning Misha is weird.
Medivh summoning Jainas as his "mirror image" is retarded.

[Mithfin]

Well, right now Garrosh can play Gnomeregan Infantry and Ironforge Riflemen so... yeah. It's a bit late to preserve the lore accuracy.

[Deleted]

Yeah but ... Mirror Image isn't about lore accuracy so much as logic.

So you want them to use artist time to redo all the faction specific cards? And re-voice some of them too.

Eh, they should at least do something with the hero powers.

If the paladin isn't a Silver Hand paladin it'd be kind of weird for them to summon Silver Hand recruits.

[mrgreenthump]

The mage is very clearly Medivh

I don't want it to be.. Cause I would want to buy it them

Am sure Paladin hero power will change if it's a horde pally.

Should also change if it's a draenei.

I never said all. I said some.

But I'm sure many people would be happy with a very lazy approach to a cash-shop item. After all, who wants value for money?

I don't think it's too much work. I do think having several cards do the same thing is more confusing for new players who already have plenty of them to learn about, and we know Blizzard's direction with this game is to make it as easy to learn as possible.

It's not like all neutral cards are faction neutral. You can already play Cairne as Anduin, or Mekkatorque as Garrosh.

If anything, future class cards won't be as faction-focused as they currently are, because they will be designed with multiple heroes in mind.

Remember that even in the game's world it's all just a board game.

[Daws001]

Alleria and Medivh.

[Soulwind]

Alleria and Medivh.

Remember when Blizzard said Alleria and Turalyon would return during WoD?

Well, they didn't lie. They've been in that tavern for fifteen years.

[muto]

That Mage looks like a Troll with that stance and posture. I really hope it's not Medivh that would be stupid having two human mages.

[Reyzzz]

1st is a windrunner, to combine the general consensus (which sister can be argued to death and is entirely up to the devs... any good argument for all 3)

2nd most likely medivh, but thats a very action packed pose for him

The thought of $90 for the alternate heroes is absolutely ridiculous - any comment on the price yet?

Usually bundles get discount.

[HHHGame78]

Tyrande is more priestess than hunter. She is the "Priestess of Elune". So I'm guessing one of the Windrunner sisters. Mage is definitely Medivh.

[melzas]

Hunter in the picture is also hooded, so that leaves Tyrande out. I think it's safe to assume it's one of Windrunner sisters (Probably Vereesa).

[bmjclark]

Shandris feathermoon for the first (or vereesa)

Probably medivh for the second.

[Anuibus]

I really don't see the hunter hero being shandris feathermoon. The armor matches that of the windrunner sisters.
