History WebAnimation / HeroStorm

** ...However, Maiev is unable to jump over Tassadar's [[DeployableCover Force Wall]], [[WatchOutForThatTree smacking face-first]] into the ''air'' above it.

** Hanzo in ''Dragon vs Dragoon'' misses a Scatter Arrow on a stationary minion and ends up hitting himself in the head with it, before going on to miss a Dragonstrike on Fenix at ''point-blank range''. Justified in the latter case because Dragonstrike has an ArbitraryMinimumRange in this game, but still.

** How do you survive a huge explosion? Jump in the air a few feet, as seen by vikings and Maiev

* HomingBoulders: "The Chase", [[TheChase much like the trope]], depicts Kael'thas' Pyroblast ultimate which does this. He casts it onto Illidan after a close fight with him, Illidan uses The Hunt on a distant minion and Hearthstones back to flee it, realizes it's still following him, goes to the airport to take a plane, the pursuing Pyroblast gets arrested as Illidan runs off his plane, the Pyroblast is released from prison (complete with a TimePassageBeard) and finds Illidan's house in the phonebook and then inevitably appears at his door step to explode.
* HurlItIntoTheSun: Stukov does this to Xul in 'Within Arms Length'.

** Johanna blinds illidan, who is already blind.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Raynor may be TheDitz, unable to communicate in any apparent way apart from blowing raspberries, but he is still comically formidable, able to:
** OneHitKill Illidan in "Illidumb Hunting",
** Scatter the enemy team by summoning the [[CoolStarship Hyperion]] underground in "Team Battle", and
** Bombard the enemy team with only his rifle and a miniature Banshee in an episode featuring his rework.

** Kharazim also seems to exist solely to serve as a punching bag. Thus far, he's [[EyeScream taken a needle to the eye]] from Abathur before getting buried alive-ish, been curbstomped by Varian, gotten the crap beaten out of him by an entire team, turned into a pile of body parts by Sonya, and laughed at by Lunara when he tried to tag out.

** Diablo has often been one as well. Beat up by Valla in his first appearence, he has been tossed around and taunted by Garrosh, literally melted by malthael and vikings, destroyed while breathing fire by Kel'thuzad, and effortless dodged by Illidan, among others. Powerful looking but ineffective attacks are a common theme in this cartoon version.

* ChekhovsGunman: ''Lunarhahahaha!'' starts off with Ragnaros waving goodbye to Stukov, who is hearthing back to base. Stukov comes back near the end of the short, and saves Ragnaros from Lunara with his Lurking Arm ability.

* {{Jerkass}}: Fittingly enough, Alarak, best shown in ''The Last Laugh'' with him knocking his teammate Kerrigan off of a mercenary camp just so he can cap it and smugly tell her to 'go and tell the others of the victory ''I'' have won here', followed by him rudely smashing Li Li's cup of healing brew for no reason.

* CherryTapping: At the end of 'Dragon Knight's Shrining Moment', the Dragon Knight is shot down ''just'' before it can destroy the enemy team's Core. The Abathur controlling it tries to flee, only to be blasted as well. As he dies, he spawns a single locust, which spits one last needle at the Core- causing it to collapse in a heap of rubble.
** All of Abathur's appearances, really. Him [[MemeticMutation slapping enemies to death]] is pretty much a RunningGag in and of itself.
*** The final scene of ''Heroes of the Brawl'' depicts [[UpToEleven ten Abathurs slapping each other]].

* DoubleEntendre: In "Triple Bypass": "Who can grab me ''booty'' first?" Cue camera zooms to Samuro's butt ([[FridgeLogic where his flag lodges in place so it doesn't fall off.]])

* TheDreadedPretendTeaParty: "Haters Gonna Hate" has Lili hosting a tea party as an attempt to capture a mercenary camp as Alarak ordered. The latter unwillingly joins in.

* EveryoneChasingYou: The entirety of "Trust the Nydus Touch" has Zagara being chased by an entire team while slipping back and forth between Nydus Worms, complete with [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong "Yakety Sax" soundalike]].

** Dehaka using his tongue will always be accompanied with [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Yoshi's sound tongue]], going nicely with his FanNickname "Zerg Yoshi".

** 'Kill Thuzad' sees Kel'Thuzad introduce himself in a very [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Team Rocket-like]] manner (even ending with Mr Bigglesworth popping in as a Meowth replacement).

* StopHelpingMe: "Casa Nova" sees Nova use her stealth passive to escape Imperius...[[TheDitz until Morales starts healing her]]. As Nova continues fleeing the scene, Morales proceeds to just fall down into the ground where she stands, face first.

Produced by Carbot Animation, the people behind WebAnimation/StarCrafts and WebAnimation/WowCraft, proving that they really are genuine fans of Creator/BlizzardEntertainment, ''Hero Storm'' (or Heroes Storm, the logo image says so, but the video is titled with singular word) is a animated web series available through [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CarbotAnimations Youtube]] released on roughly a monthly or bi/tri-weekly period (along side Carbot's other series). In each short little episode, the two sides do their routine battles like you'd expect, but hilarity usually ensues in any ongoing battles, at expense of some heroes. The series is usually carried in 6 episodes covering an arc, which ends in a mass (wacky) team battle reuniting the cast from the previous episodes set with one shining never-seen-before star, before moving on to the next arc.

*** In "Within Arm's Length," Stukov kills Xul by pushing him into the Sun, the same way Goku kills Cooler in ''Anime/DragonBallZTheRevengeOfCooler''.

* ViolationOfcommonSense: Showing such example is part of the cartoon's bread and butter. Some of many examples:

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Deathwing is depicted as a giant literally Unstoppable puppy, like an even more destructive version of [[WebAnimation/StarCrafts the Ultralisk]].

** Diablo has often been one as well. Beat up by valla in his first appearence, he has been tossed around and taunted by Garroah, literally melted by malthael and vikings, destroyed while breathing fire by Kel'thuzad, and effortless dodged by Illidan, among others. Powerful looking but ineffective attacks are a common theme in this cartoon version.

** Tychus is drawn very similarly to common Terran marines in Carbot's style, you really can't differentiate them if you take out his minigun. Raynor is similar, but has also been likened to "Derpfestor in a marine suit" due to his mannerisms.

** Malthael literally melts gigantic, powerful diablo, cho'gall, and scares away dehaka. He is stopped by little frog murky

* Visual Pun: A couple of episodes show the butcher and other characters actually eating some other character, literally "feeding" them.

** When Leoric is mowing through the minion wave with huge swings of his mace in 'Hopeless', it's a direct recreation of [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron mowing through the ranks of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men]], complete with the camera swinging from side to side as the bodies fly everywhere.
