From StarCraft I want a female protoss like selendis or vorazun
From Diablo I want Itherael
From Overwatch I want Sigma
Warcraft already has so many heroes in it and I’ll admit there are a lot from it that I want but for now I think there should be no more Warcraft Heroes.
Now I know Nexus original heroes aren’t very well liked but they could somewhat work. I understand this game’s top priority is to converge the top blizzard game series but it would be quite nice if it had some of its own to provide. I think the problem with Qhira was that she just came out of nowhere and didn’t have much to offer lorewise. Now I don’t know how Orphea was exactly received but I think she worked out better because she had more going on before coming playable. Personally I like both of them and would like to know more about them.
I want tanks or supports. I will be bored to tears by yet another assassin. Then reworking old heroes into even more T̶assassins. I think 50% or more of the roster are already assassins. YAWN
But since Jimmy 14 years old wants flashy pew pew mages and rangers, that’s what the old executives demand from devs.
Well, I hate to tell you this, but as part of yesterday’s AMA, there are no supports in the works right now.
Throws plasma shield on floor
Damn it, maybe next support or tank in 2025 then.
I like Orphea a little more now that I learned she’s the daughter of the raven lord. That’s kinda cute, I guess. Other “Nexus Heroes” need to have a similar “lore”, even if it’s just that limited.
I think they said there were Tanks in the works, but I’m not 100% sure on that because I didn’t read the AMA (I don’t do Reddit) and no one has made a thread here about it.
I don’t want more Originals. I like Orphea, but I think if they make more Originals now, people will start hating them even more.
We need heros from real blizzard games.
The concept of HotS is to provide a crossover among blizzard games.
So making up characters contradicts this base ambition.
Really don’t care for nexus heroes : they are as flavorless as LoL heroes (mash up of random cliches).
At least, if their signature was to be outthere heroes, with innovative gameplay. But no : a standard mage and a standard bruiser… why ?
If you want to do nexus heroes, they should be as bizarre as Vikings, Abathur or Medivh. So they have a point in being new faces.
What? Mutha cristul not good enough lore for you? smh my head
If Warcraft has the largest lore, should that mean proportionally they’d have more representation in HOTS? I was just about to start making a kit for a Warcraft franchise tank 
I just want any OW hero.
Any heroes will do from Blizzards Holy Trinity aka Warcraft Diablo Starcraft.
Leaning towards Diablo, I want Isendra
2 years since the last Starcraft hero, almost 2.5 since the last OW hero.
Hey Blizzard, we’re waiting…
/y Face now your tragic end!
There’s so much untapped potential. We have yet to have a single character primarily from WC1/2, there’s no Darkspear Troll, no Gnome, no Dark Iron Dwarf, no actual Tauren (ETC does not count), so on and so forth.
And…you want some nobody background angel when we already have three? That’s four more than we needed. smh, at this rate people will be getting Gharbad before Putress.
They had 5 years to make a real tauren.
But I have to disagree with Gnome since we do have Chromie. Although depending on how you look at it, she is of the Bronze Dragonflight…
Itherael however is truly a no-backstory random archangel, while he would complete the 5 angel team I don’t think he is super requested.
All new characters can have lore that comes out of nowhere, you can create a new region in space and a new lifeform, and you can give that lifeform quite a bit of history that goes with it, and voila, a new starcraft enemy type. Sure, it initialy will not be liked, but thats because the lore is not yet connected to each other.
And in some cases, thats simply how it goes. 2 regions might have no influence to each other. But inside that region, you can still create a complex piece of lore that seems wel constructed.
Usualy this happens in sequels. New main character, new story, a few small references to previous games. But it still feels the same as the gameplay is similar.
The problem with qhira is mostly that even that very basic piece of lore completely misses any form of inspiration. She is not tied to any map or even that takes place on the map. And the piece of lore is something you can dump on like 20 heroes. Lore should have something unique into it. She should have shown to have achieved something other than “saved a city”, “escaped death” or “saved lives”. These things are just too common.
If it was on a character within a franchise that already existed, that franchise adds the lore required to the character even if he is very basic (morales, blaze, hammer). The unit type gives the form of history.
And then to add the last feature: make the new hero arrogant. Thats realy the worst possible thing you can do to a new hero. The arrogance doesnt even make her sound interesting, it makes her sound boring.
Did he even show up in the anime video? Can’t remember.
I understand what youre saying. The arrogance part is used pretty much in all women characters of any caliber. Its either that or meekness. There is no middle ground with women. Qhira is an interesting character but I think they could have done so much more with her. I think the best female character I have seen so far in video games is morgana from league of legends. She holds great wisdom over darkness.
Yess. A new Overwatch hero but i think Sigma is kinda unwanted (by the players). Reinhardt and Zenyatta are more popular choices.
And yeah. If Qhira had an explained backstory and lore weeks before she came in the game, she wouldn’t get as much hate as she does have now. Orphea was in the comics before she came in the game and she also had existing files within the game.
