Big fan of troll warlord from dota so Ill probably like greymane as it looks like he can switch from melee to ranged.

The dryad looks the best of the ones I saw. Looking forward to her.

Don't know if I'm gonna like this ogre guy. Sounds like a struggle to make him balanced.

Haven't seen the over watch guy but I know I do not like them already making one for Hots....

Honestly I'm still having a lot of fun with Rex! Just picked up his master skin, looks sick!

Just watched some video of Cho, Lunara, greymane and the new map.

Greymane seems a bit OP atm, but he should have decent CC in his team. I think the W with +50% attack speed that can be constantly kept refreshed is OP. From the trio I think he will be by far the most popular if he doesn't get major changes.

Lunara just drives me nuts with her movement animation jumping around all the time. Very squishy unit who has essentially only one ability to use in battle. She seemed very single-dimensional hero that is practically made for poking.

Cho'Gall also seemed rather OP, the hp pool was just insane. The AA of the hero seems rather small for duo-player IMO, but I guess that's the balancing for large hp. I feel like this hero should never ever get picked in HL unless as last duo pick and enemy having no giant-killer heroes and hopefully no Leoric.

The new Towers of Doom is something I feel very mixed about. It's basically BhB cannons except they will always target core that you can't ever heal. Number of shots depends on forts you have(you can capture enemys also) with max of 6 shots. The map looks interesting, but I really don't like the objective mechanic. It's like dragon shire where you can abuse uther invincibility to summon the dragon, except this time you get shots. On one hand I like that you can end the game because losing single team-fight, but I do feel the map shouldn't be completely dependent on objectives either. I mean imagine having all 6 forts for yourself and you win 5-0 TF after which you got nothing to do. I really hope mercs can at least somehow do damage to core at that point or it basically forces winning team to just sit on their hands doing nothing till object spawn after couple minutes

I love the idea behind Cho'gall! I cannot wait to play him. So excited for that guy.. And remember if someone chooses him, he counts as 1 slot .. so there is only 4 on one team. So you just gang him

Greymane I dont feel, but I never was a worgen person.

Lynara naaah boring.

Does anyone still play this game?

I must say, I went back just in time for Alterac Pass, which is a cool map. The 2.0 rewarding system, although it could've been better (less RNG in rewards, more themed with Heroes you actually play) really encourages you to keep playing.

Greymane is still my favourite Hero, Zagara is likewise high on my list and I also enjoy playing with Alexstrasza (my fav Support hero). They should add Deathwing imo, Alex has shown that a change-into-massive Dragon hero is possible. There are also a few others, the game gives enough variety to find your style.

If anyone would like to play some friendly games, let me know. There's an XP bonus for playing with Friends

I'm still playing with some friends of mine from time to time.

I just keep coming back to this fun game, but I wouldn't dare name a favorite hero, as there are just to many. Only thing I'm sure of: BW is my favorite support. His healing in the early game may be lacking, but you cannot get that amount of mobility on any other support.

I really like how this game constantly gives you something to "chew on". Be it a skin for hero you don't have, but maybe you would like to have him/her, new events, new heroes, or even arenas not to mention rotation which always gives me a chance to try some Heroes or to rack a few loot boxes (some rotation heroes are low level, cause I didn't play them before). Or stimpacks that urge you to play more.

My main motivation to push forward are skins. Some of them give an entirely new perspective on Heroes, not to mention those are simply really cool. For instance I got black Mecha Tyrael skin (lucky!) in a box and suddenly I play this hero a lot more. Or I "crafted "mecha" Rehgar skin with gems and even bought the hero for gold cause the skin is simply exceptional. I'm currently hoarding shards for the "Mecha" Tassadar skin. I like playing this hero, and his "transformers" skin is simply too cool. Yes, I'm F2P.

There are two things I'm currently a bit dissatisfied with in the game:
1. Because I mostly play with AI I really hate how sometimes my AI team plays incredibly idiotic. One match they run around instead of pushing, get themselves killed easily and provide no support to me (there's a 1v2, but instead of helping me an AI hero runs away, sometimes wasting a chance to deal some damage like finishing an enemy hero etc). Or leave a control zone in the last moment giving opponents a chance to snatch it before the counter finishes. And if there's Sgt. Hammer in opposing team you will automatically have a hard time as AI can't get around her Siege mode's zone of control. Another match your team decimates opponents easily so you won't even gather a lot of EXP (which snowballs after lvl 20, so it's profitable to play longer). Worse thing is you feel like you can't do anything to change the outcome of such loosing matches (it's rarely possible). Pinging locations/targets doesn't help either. AI is AI, but I wonder why there's such a big difference in matches, I understand unfavorable match-ups, but many times it's not even the case.
2. This aspect of the game I mentioned already: I sometimes get cool skins, but for expensive Heroes I don't have. Gold doesn't exactly grow on trees in this game so I probably won't ever use it, as I have other priorities. An option to scrap items for shards would be nice.

EDIT: Cool, Mephisto will be a new hero and Hanamura is finally back after tweaking! (I knew that payload Hanamura Brawl was there to test the new mechanic and that this announcement was imminent).

So I don't quite catch this new "boost" idea. I don't see it being any different from stimpacks, other then the fact that you now have this "shove into your face" button after a match that let's you insta-buy a boost (hover over it and it shows how much you'll gain if you buy a boost). ActiBlizzard in action?

I don’t get it either but I didn’t read much into it.  I just recently started playing this again and I find the game to be in a much worse state. Whether I win or lose I’m not having fun. Most of the heroes I use have been in the game for a while and are completely outmatched to these new ones. And the maps are so boring...

I remember reading the game got a new director. I hope that person brings some much needed changes.

Yeah, seems wherever there's a problematic map they "redesign" it making it similar to those which "work". Making the game flat in the process. I never was a fan of Garden Terror, but they made another Tomb of Spider Queen from it. Now they will probably remove the day-night cycle (the only distinguishing element that's left) cus players are crying their eyes hurt from it (vampiric aversion to light probably), boo-hoo.

I've heard HotS has an identity crisis now and it's loosing the playerbase. I play it from time to time, but I always had this "play until you get bored" philosophy with it. Recently I only grinded for gold cus I wanted the William mount

Yikes!

Yeah I know the game didn't fare well. But this pretty much means Blizzard is dropping it.

Not that I will cry that much, I enjoyed playing it on occasions but not on regular basis. I'm more concerned by the shift Blizzard is taking. This might be further pointing out there is something bad going on in Blizzard. At this point I highly doubt there is some quality content they're making, rather some further mobile bs...

ever since HotS was hijacked by the cancer that is LoL players, I'd like to say that if blizz does shut down the game, nothibg of value will be lost.

I wasn’t really surprised with the news. The extreme lack of content at blizzcon was a huge red flag. Only one new hero being worked on and no new map mentioned. I’m also more concerned about the overall shift blizzard is taking. While I’m not crazy about HoTs it has its moments and it’s fun seeing new heroes and map designs added. So now that game is out, diablo is basically out, Starcraft is done, and so Warcraft is the only thing I got left with them.

I'm afraid Warcraft 3 Reforged might be the only "true" Blizzard game left that we will see. Sort of a "last hurrah". Because it's a game based on Blizzard quality of old. From this point onward everything will be micro-transaction focused. Low quality focused on short-term income.

While HotS didn't have a great Blizzcon, there weren't actually signs of it getting dropped, aside from the foreshadowing that was a small number of players ofc. New heroes were added regulary, interesting events were released, Heroes were being reworked and they even doubled-down of lore expansion. That means nothing in corporate buisness though. Numbers are bad, so they're making a "cut". As simple as that.

Damn, and it wasn't so long ago that I've read post-Overwatch articles about Blizzard quality being gold. Sigh.

EDIT: Just a small glimpse into how scummy Blizzard has become https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Zc3bvdcxM.

Well, Blizzard has no really good games atm.

I only play Hearthstone. Sometimes OW. But well the rest of the games are stale and old. They are boring.

It is going to be interesting to see what they are working on behind the scenes..

I want Diablo 4.

I wanna know what happens now that the Black Soulstone is shattered, releasing all the Great Evils once again. Or rather, Prime Evil Diablo.

Oh, you'll get it alright. They can't allow themselves to not release it now.

Question is is the with worth it? Blizzard is a shadow of their former selves, and Diablo 3 was made when they were supposedly still ok, alas the game ultimately was criticized...

Ah very very true. Maybe I don't want it as badly as I once did. I stopped playing a lot of Blizzard's games now.
