Me and my friend are big fans of NecroDancer, 3 days ago we were bored so we decided to create an Assets mod for one of our favorite characters from HotS, ETC.
For those who don’t know, NecroDancer is a Rougelike Rythmic game where the player moves based on the Rythm of a song that plays in the background.
This mod replaces a character called Melody who’s a bard that uses the Golden Lute to fight enemies so we thought she would be perfect to replace with ETC.
Also a Lute to Guitar comparison:
The gameplay is simple, ETC starts with his trusty Guitar, a weapon that cannot attack enemies directly, but deals 1 damage to all surrounding tiles whenever ETC moves. This damage can never be increased.
This mod is also fully voiced with ETC directly from Heroes of the Storm.
Here’s a full run of ETC wrecking havoc as he rushes through the levels as fast as possible:
Also some spells because NONE of them appeared in the video above:
That’s all for now, I know you guys love creative content so I thought it would be great idea sharing this here. 
Special and Awesome thanks to Labreris who drew most of the assets for ETC, you are awesome.
Have this game and want try it out? Download it from the Steam workshop:

Also while at it, we updated ETC to have an animated mouth, at least his head won’t look funky with the movement lol.

Tbh when I look back at it, it kinda looks like ETC is going “Yeah!” every time he bobs up and down lol.
“Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!”

My first impression was that it would look better if he opened his mouth every 2nd or 3rd… “bob”.
Murky next?
After watching the 12 min vid you uploaded,I came to conclusion I see little to no difference in the rythm, regardless of music in the background. But then I realized I hate dancing and still have flashbacks of the only dance in my life at my wedding. I guess its me :’
It is sadly impossible without altering which sprite sheets the game grabs when doing idle (There are 4 total frames of idle which signify 1 bob. 2/4 of the frames are with the mouth open).

Rhythm drastically changes per level though, there’s clear major difference when it comes to one of the Boss Fights where the beat is now 3.4 actions per second .

I didn’t even know that existed until I looked. They should just combine that and Hero & Skin Suggestions honestly

Man, this is cool! Makes me wish we had some sort of arcade mode or game editor. Imagine all the cool stuff we could do in Heroes while waiting for SL queue to pop up.

Same, a lot of people would be dedicated to flesh out content constantly.
Also I was kinda dissapointed that the run in the OP doesn’t show any spells being used, so I did another one and lucky me I got the majority of them, except Need and Gold.
Most of them uses sounds that get casted by ETC’s main abilities, for example:
Heal is pretty much Guitar Solo sound effect.
Freeze is one out of the two that plays when casting Facemelt
Shield uses one of the Echo Pedal talent sounds.
Fireball is Powerslide.
