History Awesome / HeroesOfTheStorm

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jInzG9Ukrk Obey the Call.]] After years of clamoring, the most awaited Kel'Thu-freaking-zad makes his entrance into the Nexus with all the fanfare it deserves. From Jaina leaping off Death Knight Sonya's axe sky-high, [[AscendedMeme revealing herself as a Dreadlord]], to Hammer ''punching Crypt Queen Zagara in the face'', and finally Kel'Thuzad utterly shattering Varian, Johanna and Hammer's icy tombs, complete with an [[UnflinchingWalk Unflinching]] [[PowerWalk 'Walk']] [[PowerFloats (he actually floats, but does the same thing with that)]] by him and his posse from the shattering ice.

* Li Li may be a TierInducedScrappy, but ''damn'', is it awesome to have Li Li heal the team in the middle of a massive battle, turning the tide. Especially if it's via "Jug of 1,000 Cups".

* For those not happy with characterizations of certain characters in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', Blizzard have provided a meta-apology note. AuthorsSavingThrow for everyone! Thrall is still the take-charge, kick-ass Warchief of the Horde! Jaina is her old peace loving self, but with a greater willingness to fight for it! Sylvanas is still a seeker of vengeance instead of JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope! Illidan is back to his old composite AntiHero[=/=]AntiVillain personality rather than suffering from ChronicVillainy! Arthas is proactive and a FrontlineGeneral, not faking OrcusOnHisThrone while trying to pull off a BatmanGambit! Kael'thas is still his people's prince, not Kil'jaeden's puppet!

* Meta-wise... well we may not know how it turns out eventually, but you gotta admit that Blizzard got ''balls'' when they announced just exactly how Cho'gall works: ''Two players controlling one character''. At that point, it's the most original character concept in the whole MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena genre, not even [[VideoGame/{{Dota 2}} Valve]], [[VideoGame/HeroesOfNewerth S2]], [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Riot]] and [[VideoGame/{{Smite}} Hi-Rez]] ever thought of that!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGhP77lUqJ4 Deathwing]]. Go to his character page and check MechanicallyUnusualFighter, and you'll see a list longer than some trope pages for characters. But the biggest one: No interaction with any sort of ally assistance: ''Everyone'' is beneath him.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQV2MLHFYFg Dragons of the Nexus.]] We finally get Alexstrasza and she's in a spectacular duel with Hanzo. Also, Hanzo manages to make up for how last time he had his Dragonstrike turned around by Genji in the Dragons cinematic , this time, ''it takes down Alexstrazsa in her dragon form''. At the end [[spoiler: it turns out the fight was actually a sparring practice. After they realize they're ready, the fog around them clears away and they look upon Dragon Shire while portals to the other Blizzard franchises open in the sky]].
