Blaze - Ranged Warrior - Starcraft Hero

[ophion1990]

He's everything I never knew I wanted. Great start of the year, hot damn.

[Ryme]

First hero I'm seriously excited to play since Li Ming, he looks awesome!

[DesoPL]

No... they made up Sgt. Hammer exclusively for HotS, and then later added her to LOV

Also, her last name isn't "hammer," that's a nickname. So there's no relation there.

That's true, same was with Morales and probably same will happend with Blaze.

Psionic storm has updated with all of Blaze's kit and talents.

[Gallahadd]

omfg, i fucking love his fel reaver skin.

i hope it turns all his fire green.

If it DOESN'T turn his fire green, then they have failed across the board.

edit: Okay, I checked his talents...

I can't see a build I want to play. I don't mean that in a bad way either! It's not that I can't find talents I like, it's that I can't pick the talent that looks best XD. Looks like he's got a lot of solid options that can be picked to suit what the game demands. Blizz have REALLY knocked it out of the park with their first hero of 2018.

Let us hope he survives the PTR/First month of release without being gutted.

Kinda reminds me of Chen. Douses enemies in liquid and ignites them.

Chen was left in the dust a while ago.

Chen was left in the dust a while ago.

Yup, and he didn't get a new skin since forever.

[Charge me Doctor]

Instant buy for me, really love his kit

That's why they're all so salty XD. Most of them are refuring to Blaze as "Chen 2.0" or "The Chen Rework we asked for".

Hopefully those ppl will realize that characters can have similar themes and be mechanically different.

Accusation they are the same because "fire requires fuel" is as odd an idea of "chinese based expansion having a race based on the two most fampus things from china is obv based on a movie"

Like chen is a backline harrasser and blaze is area control.

Finally a hero I genuinely enjoy a lot and find interesting.. been too damn long

[Tenjen]

I will enjoy going into the bunkwr only to watch my team mates attempt to run and die as they are hunted down. Juat like with medivac

[Charge me Doctor]

I don't get why people compare firebat to chen, they have different roles and play completely differently

medivac doesn't give you protection, it's a mobility tool, to clear long distances. Bunker is deliberately made for your team to stay alive longer in teamfights. You don't drop a medivac midfight and run away, because it'll be just shot down, it's designed this way. You can use it as your personal defensive cooldown, but that's it. Bunker is completely different

Yeah, if a hero is guilty of being Chen 2.0, I'd say that's Genji. Though even Chen and Genji have significant differences.

If Blaze is making anyone look bad, it's Garrosh. I can enoy Garrosh but I feel like Blaze just seems like the objectively more fun/interesting hero.

I don't get why people compare firebat to chen, they have different roles and play completely differently

Probably because they both have "soak enemy in liquid and set them on fire" ability combos, except Chen's is old, looks bad and feels wonky, and this is all new, flashy, has 2 charges, combo potential and so on.

Also because Chen has been left to rot without any changes other than pointless nerf and this just adds salt to the wound of Chen players.

I don't play Chen and don't really care about him, but I understand Chen players frustration.

Thats what i meant. Medivac can work if you use it to escape from a safe area but ive had allies in throwing distance panic and run to their doom. I assume the same will happen here as people take their chances running in the same direction as hanzos dragon while we watch them getting obliterated in the bunker.

[Austilias]

This guy is basically Chen but good/useful.

That's hilarious.
