Coming heroes

[Deleted]

Since we get Artanis and Lt. Morales soon, who do you think is going to come after them?

Cho'gall?
Blademaster Samuro?
Zul'jin?
Kel'thuzad?

[Nerraw]

Whoever the next ones are, I figure they're revealing them at Blizzcon. The timing on that is magnificent.

Yup, 6/7th October for Morales and 27/28th October for Artanis should be the release dates. That means the next "batch" is probably coming the 24/25th November. Unless they're planning on speeding up the release of new heroes.

As for the actual heroes, Zul'jin seems extremly likely. Didn't his model get teased at last years Blizzcon? He seems overdue.

Ah yes, that's right. I was trying to think of heroes that had been teased in images and videos before but I think Rexxar was the last of those.

female protoss or maybe even mengsk? its a starcraft event

I remember Spyrian said that Kel'thuzad is currently not in their pipeline.

Which pisses me the fuck off.

We won't know until Blizzcon. The last two heroes who will come out before then will be Morales and Artanis.

We know that there are pre-recorded voice interactions for Azshara, Mengsk, etc, but generally that's a "just in case we do them" scenario so the VA department doesn't have to call the VAs back every time they release a new hero.

Imagine the KT confusion.

I can all but guarantee that we won't see Azshara until she's actually been in WoW, and not just in time travels or visions.

"KT pop your ult! NO! I meant the bird, not the mass rez!"

True, but the very fact that the line was recorded implies that there is enough material circulating around Blizzard HQ to develop a full fledged Azshara character. Given the prominence of the naga in Legion, it's appear very likely her time is quickly approaching.

It'd be about time for Baal and Mephisto to make an appearance... as long as they don't make their abilities suck as much as Diablo's.

Diablo doesn't suck; his kit is simply dated compared to recent heroes. At least the Lord of Terror has some form of engage, something not even the Lich King was given.

Gul'dan will almost certainly be the Legion tie-in hero.

Haha indeed! PICK KT!!!

We do need a proper warlock.

I think his kit is quite good, he just can't survive long enough to use it and his basic abilities don't do enough damage to compensate. Hopefully the buff to his trait will toughen him up a bit.

We sorely need a gnome. Any gnome. I think Tinkmaster is in the works (fingers crossed) Chromie would be cool as well, even if she isn't a true gnome.

There was datamined info for Mekkatorque, so that's a possibility.

It's an old list and the link is originally pointing to 2p.com which is a trash site, but there have been quite a few correct on that list.

2p.com link - http://2p.com/11377731_1/heroes-of-t...-jaminnoob.htm

World of Warcraft: Aggra; Azshara; Blademaster; Brann; Cenarius; Chogall; Deathwing; Garrosh; Grommash; Guldan; Jaina; Kaelthas; Kiljaedan; Magni; Maiev; Mekkatorque; Moira; Ragnaros; Rexxar; Sapper; Shandris; Sylvanas; Thrall; Varian; Vashj; Zuljin.

StarCraft: Artanis; Fenix; Mengsk; Overmind; Tosh; Dehaka; Valerian; Warfield

Diablo: Butcher; Leoric

Lost Viking: Viking

Keep in mind that they datamined: Butcher, Leoric, Jaina, Kaelthas, Rexxar, Thrall, Artanis and Vikings in 25 Nov 2014, which means something.

Take it with a grain of salt and a salt shaker.

How in the world would an Overmind hero works? Would he replace your core or something?

That would honestly be pretty funny. ^^

Re: Ragnaros - I'm guessing it will be the Firelands version (i.e. with legs), but I can't help but imagine his original Molten Core incarnation version floating around the map haha

Hava you seen how Abathur moves? They could simply do Ragnaros' old form with his swirling cloud following beneath him. He doesn't need legs.

It's going to have been a while since we got an assassin when Artanis is released, hope we get a neat one of those.
