that was profound

[Eazy]

Didn't expect that. I'm happy they add it.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

How did they know to add my favorite hero? Holy shit!

Edit: Oh it's a dreadlord. Not bad at least.

[Melsiren]

I would have never guessed.

[Nerraw]

Well. It's a dreadlord. Is it Mal'ganis? Tichondrius? Hopefully we'll find out sooner than later!

[NoiseTank13]

So is he going to be the next off-lane Warrior? lel

[melzas]

I love his animations.

Pity he doesn't look like solo tank, but another Yrel/Sonya/Blaze.

[KainneAbsolute]

It has nice talents if you pause the video that it seems to make him more tanky like the claws also bring you armor.

There is also a lvl 20 talent that brings night to the battlefield (reduces enemies vision)

[Nerraw]

Abilities added to the OP. Talents coming soon!

- - - Updated - - -

Talents are now added as well.

[Theoris]

His default skin has Tichondrius, (WoW-)Varimathras/Balnazzar, and Mephistroth base tints. Very nice touch.

[Maxilian]

Nice to see another demon joining the Nexus, hope they keep the bad guy trend they got right now and go for another one next (Maybe a Starcraft one this time, or another from Diablo)

[Gallahadd]

Wasn’t expecting him to be a Warrior. Pleasantly surprised!

Any word on his release skin?

[ThatsOurEric]

Hopefully he won't be as bad in his role as Whitemane is in hers.

[ophion1990]

He looks pretty sweet. Might be the first hero in a while that I bother getting past level 5.

[Stormcall]

Any word on his release skin?

It's shown at the end of the video. Looks like a mecha skin.

[Gallahadd]

It's shown at the end of the video. Looks like a mecha skin.

Ah, must have missed that, thanks! Mecha skins are awesome, hope this one transforms for a mount, like the others do!

TBH, hope he has a morph mount, regardless!

[Tenjen]

It's not a mecha skin exactly. Its like Kaelthas's Super hero tech one.

[therealstegblob]

Hopefully he won't be as bad in his role as Whitemane is in hers.

The worst thing about Whitemane is how they reconcepted her as a sexy cackling babygirl dominatrix or something.

Or maybe the best thing, depending on who you ask, I guess.

Definitely best thing. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I really like Mal'Ganis and his kit. He definitely looks like a fun new bruiser/tank to mess around with.
