Something powerfull is coming to Nexus - gamescom thread

[Hollycakes]

Muis, is the match you played available to watch anywhere? I'd love to see it. Pally hasn't uploaded the show match yet and I think the only one is on Blizzard's Twitch in German. So I didn't get to see any of the matches that took place.

Its on Kendrics stream. It was pretty fun albeit us being alot lower in skill on avg than theirs - yet had alot of fun.
We shouldve drafted a slightly stronger early game instead of a more late game comp. But we held up pretty decent.

I can't speak for the rest, but I didn't like the settings that much with quick cast disabled (and i think most of us play QC).

Still, very enjoyable

The amateur league he's talking about , is a league he participated in so he knows darn well, he just left it with a grudge.
Regardless, he was a super nice guy .

[Hollycakes]

Nice thank you and yusss lol I heard them all mention the quickcast thing a few times. So cool you got to do it

Mm, in the MFPT interview Alan mention that there is a skin coming up for Greymane, considering the next hero is probably gonna be a halloween batch, there is a chance he might get his highly requested Dr jekyll/Mr. Hyde skin!

[Hollycakes]

Ooo good point. We have what like 2 more releases or so before Halloween? I think they said every 3 weeks? Can't wait to see the holiday stuff!

Bad news everyone, apparently the leak is 100% confirmed since this appeared in latest Kel'thuzad video.

Not only we are going to get 2 Overwatch Heroes in a row after Firebat, we also got to get a third one after the lamest dragon of all.

i thought you were being sarcastic. Alexstrasza is great news.

Unfortunately, I am dead serious.

I always found Alexstrasza to be annoying and boring. On top of that Ana, Junkrat and Hanzo are far from being interesting to me as well.

It feels rather disappointing to know you are not excited for new releases for like an half of year.

kay' whatever then. you do that. moving on.

Alexstrasza is a big release, having one of the aspects included makes way for the rest. Looking forward to her and the firebat. I hope they give the Firebat a name like they did Morales and Hammer.

Erm based on that the leak is confirmed FALSE then, cause Hanzo wasn't on it. The leaked list was Stukov, Garrosh, KT, Firebat, Ana, Junkrat, Aidan, Alexstraza.

Based on that, it looks like we're getting Hanzo instead of Aidan?

Obviously there might be last minute swaps and changes, its quite obvious the leak was legit seeing that it has been correct for 4 releases now. Hanzo might not have been ready back then but it looks like he is now.

Same thing happened with the last leak we had when Zarya "interrupted" leaked roster, but itsmprettt naive to claim that leak was false based on that. Blizzard can chamge the order however they like.

My main problem with those releases is we pretty much know what they are going to be. Well, maybe apart from Firebat who is the only exciting Hero for me, for that reason.

My issue with Overwatch Heroes is they bring little to no surprises as we already have a strong idea what their kit will be, it is just matter of implementation really. We pretty much know Anna is going to be a Support, maybe a Tyrande like Support at best. We also know Junkrat is either going to be a Specialist or Assassin, I am just sure he will do a sustained AoE damage. Then you have Hanzo who is going to be a ranged Assassin. I would be much happier to see an Omnic for a change.

I am sorry I don't care about Alexstrasza, I find her to be the most bland aspect and of course she is going to be a Support.

No idea where people are getting Aidan from, this is the original leak and there is no mention of him.

In Resurrecting Kel'thuzad series they shown they begun working on him on January 11th, 2017. It seems like they create lists of Heroes they want to work on and do it pretty much at the same time since the leak with Alexstrasza and Hanzo is from around February 27th as stated in the video. We know she is planned to be revealed at Blizzcon and since the Kel'thuzad series shown it takes them around 7-9 months to create a Hero from scratch, the timeline fits. Obviously the other Heroes are in more advanced development, so it is easier for them to hide.

We just had no idea what is next after Alexstrasza, but the video shown us Hanzo is being worked on and it is not so hard to imagine when they begun working on them in same cycle.

'Bland' or not, I'm dying to get my hands on some new supports. The pool for them is ridiculously low compared to all the other roles.

I have nothing against Supports, my complaint is about the predictability.

Yes, and if they change the order....that means the leak is no longer a legit source of info. It means Firebat may not be next, maybe Blizzard decides that want Fenix instead. Maybe they decided to use Blandzo instead of Junkrat. Once the list as been changed, you can no longer point to it as being an accurate list in regards to what's coming up.

[Mic_128]

The predictability that we have another support, or the predictability that the Life Binder would be a healer? Because if so man, you must hate the predictability that a Firebat will be an assassin and that Garrosh was a Warrior.

Actually Firebat has a potential to be a Warrior since the unit in Starcraft II is more durable and stronger on defense.

Since you mentioned Garrosh, weren't people disappointed to see him as a main Tank as they expected him to be either an Assassin or Bruiser?
