Heroes of the Storm - Blizzard MOBA

I miss you Kevin T_T

Her sword is like, RWBY tier. So she's got Sonya's Q with some more conditions for a trait, a super-mini Disintegration Beam, try-to-hit-everyone-and-probably-die-trying, and the-reason-people-play-Wrecking Ball-now-in-a-MOBA for basic abilities. Her ultimates are Sonya E on steroids and with a stun ending, and Thrall's Sundering with less frills. Honestly, I'd say she looks pretty neat and I'd regard her as the currently most interesting melee assassin they've made yet.

That revolving sweep looks really cool. I think I'm a fan of this character.

We still alive in here?

Anyway, there is a datamined new interaction. For Vashj

What, nothing about talent reworks or the new skin theme?

Fine, I got it.

LOOK AT DA WIDDLE RACCOONS

Wonder what the racoons are for. A new battleground maybe?

Also, Obligatory Go T parody:

Nah, the raccoons are a mount.

I started playing Deckard and man he's a different one to play. Compared to the other Healers, he can basically heal forever and make his team immune to poke damage.

*Bursts through a huge door*

HEY GUYS, DEATHWING HERE

That Brightwing skin in there is definitely one of the biggest Trolling Creator moments I have ever seen.

Odd they announce this so shortly before Blizzcon. Will Hots get no panel of its own this year?

Ok so Deathwing is just a character that exists for the average MOBA player who hates and distrusts his team.

Given what's most likely going to be announced at BlizzCon, they probably didn't want this getting overshadowed.

Everything you hate about Junkrat in Ho TS, in a two-minute nutshell:

Incorrect. There is no Junkrat on your own team using Rocket Ride immediately when a teamfight starts, causing a 4v5.

So uh, someone on Reddit wrote some lyrics, and I recorded them

You know what exactly that deserves.

But seriously, great stuff, and I can't say anymore about it since I don't sing or anything.

THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!

No, not Deathwing's release, Carbot's Deathwing cartoon release!

PTR updated and...is that Kevin?!

Glad to see him return

YES DADDY CLOAKEN'S BACK FROM THE STORE

Also there's a Deathwing spotlight too I guess

(Dat remixed WoW login menu music)

Now that's definitely a 50 DKP minus

Turns out Deckard has a few subtle touches I never noticed before: 1. Self-casting a Health Potion on yourself actually plays an animation of him quaffing the potion.

2. Canceling Stay Awhile and Listen plays a sound of Deckard getting annoyed that apparently even you don't want to listen to him.

2020 and people still say Overwatch heroes are too mobile in a world where Orphea and Qhira exist.

Look, i just want to get Reinhardt, Moira and Zenyatta. Is that too much to ask?

Also Hammond because the hamster would the most dumb fun you could have on a Moba

I wonder what they'd do with Zenyatta. I don't think they'd put in Orb of Discord normally since it'd basically just be Tyrande's trait, so they'd probably make it an actual skillshot while keeping the basically zero cooldown and make it an actual +% damage modifier instead of armour reduction to make it distinct. Orb of Destruction would probably get in using an ammunition system that's fired by using Q and then using it again, charging before used the second time so you can shoot as many as you want, which is of course reloaded using the trait button.

...but I'd really love if they went HotS-crazy and did something like "Zenyatta has no autoattack, just Orb of Destruction skillshots, hope you git gud".

And yeah, who the fuck doesn't want to be a hamster in a ball from hell

That should have been Hanzo or Junkrat. A pure skillshot hero but guess the ship has sailed with that one.

Q should be the charged Orb Volley similar to how Genji has his secondary fire as his Q and i think they don't really mind heroes having similar abilities. For example, Medivh and Gul'dan have a pretty similar Q ability and Morales and Muradin used to have similar traits before the former was changed. Plus other ults and abilities that pretty much fill the same niche. So if Tyrande and Zen have a similar ability with different properties then i don't see a problem.

Anas would hate seeing Hamston in HOTS because those little shits are the bane of slow supports. And i'm pretty sure Hamston mount would be like playing a Wandering Keg as a hero (only better because Hamston is love, Hamston is life)

I dunno, Handsoap and Trashmouse have got other gimmicks to them. Zenyatta without his ultimate however is literally just "Press one button to heal someone automatically. Press another while looking at someone you want to die. Otherwise, shoot." So by that regard, there's a chance they might think Zenyatta would need a little bit of spicing up to get into HotS otherwise he'll play very similarly to a slow Li Li but with one skillshot.

I do think they probably would make Zenyatta's Orb of Discord not an armour-reduction though, especially if they keep how it's basically always available. Otherwise, getting a QM group with Tyrande and Zenyatta would freakin' suck for them because their armour-reduction can't stack (which is probably why Garrosh's trait armour uniquely can stack with another armour buff).

I don't think they'd import Zenyatta at all. He just doesn't feel like a MOBA character to me.
