Heroes of the Storm - Echoes of Alterac, Yrel, Alterac Pass, and More!

[Shelly]

The Spirit Healer is a skin for Auriel the Archangel of Hope from Diablo.

At least this explains why Yrel is crazy in the timeskip. Anyone playing HotS for a while has to be nuts.

[Castrum]

The Echoes of Alterac event runs from June 12 – July 9 adds Yrel as a Villain, the Alterac Pass map, and more Warcraft goodness!

Fixed it for you.

please don't post hots news in the wow section... we get it, the games use similar characters and are made by the same company, so where does it stop? a wow character gets put in hots, does a wow player who doesn't play hots give a shit? no.

this feels like spam or some kind of hots ad that i never asked for, please stop.

But she's not Alliance, she makes that very clear at various points throughout her story. Heck, just look at the quote they used on the poster with her, she's even saying she's neutral there and yet they put her on the Alliance?

She says 'her allegiances are her own', not that she's neutral. There's a difference.

In the new book (Before the Storm) she works as a spy for Anduin. Can't go more Alliance than that. Let's face it, Anduins' potential is simply too big.

Its funny when the HotS team is more in tune with what PvP should be than the Current WoW team. Hopefully this renewed interest in AV translates into BFA and we see a revamp/revival of the actual Alterac Valley.

A revamped Alterac is my dream. Updated fortresses, updated snowy biome, and maybe even actual faction balance in design.

She doesn't care about factions.

I am neither Horde nor Alliance. What has either faction ever done for me?

Seriously? Why does Orc Johanna AGAIN have the stupid half shaven head??? This horse **** ruins every one of her skins without a helmet. It's ridiculous, especially considering she doesn't even have it in Diablo hence looking 100x better >.>

Yrel model is horrible. Wtf is that dwarf draenei creature they made and called Yrel? Event looks decent but god damnit, that Yrel model is an abomination.

Agree. It almost looks like they specifically made it so the Harley Quinn looking skin would more normal. Or someone just tossed some horns and goat legs on Poppy from League of legends.

Yeah especially when she is one of the last character models that looks normal and not some abomination made by someone who hates blizzard characters.

ugh, a tank. what a fucking waste.

[Enchant]

Whoa, AV and Yrel? This could draw me back into the Nexus!

[Ealyssa]

ugh, a tank. what a fucking waste.

Was actually deeply needed after all the stupid DPS we got recently. AT LEAST NOT AN HANIXIEV !!!

Finally a new hero for the best role

this game's only fun when you're bursting people down in like 3sec.

idk how people stand playing tanks, even a lot of the healers have better dps on top of their healing.

Sure, happy to disagree with you on yet another subject.

[Jutath]

Kind of a shame they couldn't make another skin for Guldan.

[McNeil]

So many other cool draenei characters they could've picked: Velen, Maraad, Akama, Nobundo, Exarch Maladaar. Yet they had to pick the one Mary Sue from an expansion nobody liked..

[SinR]

You guys got Heroes of the Storm news in my World of Warcraft news again.

Seriously. I thought this stuff was going to go away.

[Dartz1979]

Yrel look so sexy i found me a new tank waifu im gonna play now.

[Ulthane]

When Yrel has a better Ret design then WoW Ret loooool

[Aerisot]

I like that Yrel is using Maraad's hammer.
