The Heroes themselves

[Kalcheus]

First question: are we thinking the heroes are "hard-coded", i.e. it'll always be Garrosh that's the Warrior? And who are the heroes as I don't recognize a couple?


Warrior: Garrosh
Shaman: Thrall
Rogue: ?
Paladin: Tirion?
Hunter: ?
Druid: Malfurion
Warlock: Guldan
Mage: Jaina
Priest: Anduin

Paladin is Uther, Hunter is Rexxar and I think the rogue is one of Varian's companions.

[Darsithis]

The rogue looks like whatsherface from WC2...Alleria Windrunner

[Gimlix]

I thought anduin was a paladin:O

Mindblown

Btw i think there are more classes/races combos, these are just standards

[Janysa]

Think they are goin to redo this.
e.g. rexxar as hunter hero seams not that legit for me. hes not even usin' a rangeweapon. havin a pet doesn't makes u a hunter.

[Arrowstormen]

Isn't it just pictures of standard grand heroes within those classes? The rogue is Valeera Sanguinar.

Hunter: Rexxar
Rogue: Valeera Sanguinar

He's more a hunter than anyone else. Hunters need a cooler icon hero, they should introduce one in the next expansion.

[Scummer]

The rogue is Valeera Sanguinar Varian's friend and for those wondering, no she isn't a part of the Horde .
I'd also imagine the newer classes will be added at a later date. Different heroes for classes I imagine will be payed for.

The Anduin artwork looks new.

I mean off the top of my head for new heroes they could add:

Warrior: Anduin Lothar
Shaman: Nobundo
Rogue: Garona
Paladin: Lady Liadrin
Hunter: Alleria Windrunner
Druid: Hamuul Runetotem
Warlock: Cho'gall
Mage: Khadgar
Priest: Velen

Scratch that, always thought Vol'jin had a bow for some reason..... Sylvanas! Though I saw it as some rare card already...

[Imnick]

I like how they still have to use Gul'Dan for Warlock because there are no Warlock protagonists

[sykke]

Hunter: Rexxar
Rogue: Valeera Sanguinar

So it was one of Varian's friends. Although there might have been better rogue heroes.

[Wishblade]

The rogue, as also seen during the announcement is Valeera Sanguinar, one of Varian's companions in the comics and books and all that stuff. Uther and Rexxar being the paladin and hunter.

I do hope we can get to have a couple choices for our heroes, so that we can be either Horde or Alliance if we so choose and just have a choice if we don't wanna be a certain character. Some might not wanna be Jaina, might wanna be Kael'thas instead or be Velen rather than Anduin or Tirion rather than Uther.

But guess we'll wait and see.

[Valanna]

Yep. Garona.

[Nivena]

I kinda like that they have only introduced the core classes and races of WoW... (not DKs, Monks, Worgen, Pandabears, etc.)

[Elaris]

How about Wilfred Fizzlebang? Oh wait that didn't go so well

[Ragnarocket]

I figured they would use one of the Windrunners as the Hunter person. While Sylvanas doesn't have a pet exactly, she's probably one of the closest things we have to a Hunter faction leader.

[sykke]

Yep. Garona.

I wish Garona would have been the hero aswell. But she might be in the future.

[Scummer]

Well Rexxar didn't use a ranged weapon so it's not exactly going to ruin anything .

As we saw we can replace heroes while in game (For exemple, if you use the Lord Jaraxxus card, well, Gul'Dan is replaced by Lord Jaraxxus).

And for warlock hero, they could simply add Kil'Jaeden and Archimonde, and if they add a Deathknight class, well it seems obvious : the Lich King !
