Seems neat. Especially her alternate skin, looks Diabloish.

Besides, this is her official look in the lore from that time: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/media/ar...iew=wc3-warden
I think they nailed it pretty well?
My dream has come to true! Tracer i coming for you!
.
Indeed. I have played probably 2k+ games in WC III. After that amount of time the look form her little animated icon - if you select her ingame - is burned in. And that looks very different from the HotS look.
I was worried about how they would handle her kit given what hots already has but they've done really well handling her.
Anti-mobility, anti-group, ability avoidance and disruption with her own mobility. Fantastic.
Her helmet has never been made of leather (if it was leather, it would have been just the surface level while the base used metal). The WarCraft 3 model had a helmet made of metal, and the concept art for the game was also a metal helmet. No regular leather mask can have that shape without using metal as a base.

Anyway, I am definitely excited for Maiev. Her kit has a lot of playmaking potential and I can think of a bunch of combo possibilities for some crazy plays (Zarya+Maiev anyone?). Definitely going to be learning how to play her (Genji and Tracer, I am coming for you!).

I meant this:
Hmm, not as satisfied with this design as I thought. I would have preferred something closer to Warcraft 3 too. I miss the open faced helm, the blades on the cape and the wings on the back crescents.
Oddly enough, a couple of the things I want are in Tyrande's Warden skin.
Added some stuff to the OP. More coming when the PTR goes live next week or when Blizzard releases the press kit, whichever happens first.
I'm satisfied. I like how she looks, I like her kit (though she looks like a really hard to play hero) and can't wait for her. W3 TFT Night Elf music in the video was a nice touch of nostalgia.
I'm curious what kind of sustain she has in her kit as a melee. She's got decent escapes and traps but no slows, stuns or lifesteal to really make use of it.
I'm just thinking about her trying to tie down an Illidan. Good job, you got him in melee... Now what?
Unless that's a joke on her hunting Illidan and whatnot, her W can definitely counter tracer/genji in team fights (depending on the range of the cleave).
Her role against high mobility is not to kill them 1v1 but rather set the kills up for the rest of the team to execute.
Very excited for Maiev, probably for the first time since... maybe Valeera? She looks to be an excellent ganker on lane rotations.
As the spotlight showed, ganking a overly-bold Sylvanas will prove difficult, but Zagaras and Nazeebos that refuse to stop pushing a lane are going to regret their life's choices when Maiev gets released.
r.i.p. alleria. 1997-2017. blizzard ruined alleria forever. blizz assassinated alleria's character and appearance.
