Heroes of the Storm - Blizzard MOBA

I really do not care for the new game mode. I've yet to have a good time with it.

I haven't played in ages. What's the new mode?

Alterac Valley but in a MOBA. There's the objective of prison camps on both sides to free and keep imprisoned "Cavalry" units to support pushes with players, and the cores are actual generals like Alterac Valley's which fight you when close enough to enemies but refuse to be pulled too far from their starting position and regenerate health out of combat. Also, there's mud pit sections will make you slower than molasses while in it.

You need to right click on the prison you're freeing your guys from and it counts down like, 45 seconds until they break free. They can be stopped, but not easily. I THINK the defending team needs to right click on the prison to pause the count down. However, since both teams showing up kind of starts a team fight, it gets hard to interupt them at all let alone get to the prison to perform the action.

I just kind of think they should handle it differently. Like, right clicking spawns a control point or right clicking takes your hero out of the fight and they must be protected as much as possible while they free the guy. Something that makes it more intuitive and a bit easier to contest. As it is, every game I've been in, I've yet to actually see one contested and instead one team steamrolls the other.

I doesn't help that the prisons are literally right next to each other.

Pepper status: Given

Also there's Asmodunk too I guess

Pbbbbbb.

If you notice, at one point, Raynor's mouth is drawn like a literal ass.

Yeah that was bothering me

Then he went back to "Pbbbbbb" and all was well

New teaser up

Has a Mengsk vibe if you ask me

I prefer all the Twitter responses that guess the new hero is Jeff Goldblum.

It looks like they're waiting for the Hulk to burst through.

Hint number two

Has a Warcraft feel. Scarlet Crusade?

Whitemane is my guess.

Champion Status: Risen

Now that I think about it, it could also be Balnazzar.

Hope it's Whitemane. She could be a discipline priest; shielding allies and doing damage like a cross between Aurael and Tassadar.

Balnazzar would also be appropriate but these reveals really suggest the Scarlet Cathedral where you fought Whitemane more than their headquarters in Strathholme.

They actually did it, the absolute madmen - LFG SM for hat farming

Oh it's salt season again. Look at that official forums losing their minds because they didn't get their highly requested hero.

So, Whitemane support i guess?

Holy shit!

Seems likely she's a support since the most famous part of her encounter is entering it by sleeping everyone and rezzing Mograine, plus it seems like there's something about her talent at resurrecting such that she literally comes back from the dead on her own.

If you ask me, Whitemane is a fine enough addition. I noticed that her fanservice got nerfed a bit but oh well.

On another topic, can you please explain why is Imperius so requested? I don't see the appeal besides being an angry jackass and we got plenty of those. Demonds would be cool.

Zeerrrrrroooooo friggin' clue. He just seems like a shiny jackass walking Worf Effect to me. But hey, people thought Boba Fett was the coolest thing ever with like two lines and getting accidentally defeated by a blind man to be consumed with a loud burp.

Is this the first evil Support?

Brightwing.

Arguably Stukov.
