Next hero after Hogger?

I know I’m just another “Blackthorne” Fanboy… But I played the game and know the story. I feel like they could add Galadril (the Wizard of the King, Kyle’s Father) as a Time-Based Support (since space/time magic and rewarding faster shotguns are his thing in the game)

To be honest. I no longer want to see more Warcraft heroes except (Mekkatorque, Baron Rivendare, Vol’jin and Mannoroth). About the current number of heroes which now they consists for about 50% of the total heroes and apart of this subject, as a critique of the game team, I feel that they cannot implement the Warcraft characters as well as expected. Deathwing and Hogger as the two newest Warcraft have not a good kit and build and they are far the climax.

I think they’d better stop creating Warcraft characters for a while and make heroes from other universes.

I must say it that I’m honestly not sure that they start to developing next hero since now or even a little time later, i guess this process starts with considerable delay and this one of reason why a hero take long time to release.

I would like a support hero that cannot AA, my suggestions would be

  1. something like Mekkatorque as a building specialist (I opened a thread)

  2. a bard or witchdoctor which buffs or debuffs only

I feel support is very nice and adds to the game completely new ways of playing (TLV, Medivh and Aba all do it and it’s unique among MOBAs)

If not, a healer.
Please, not a bruiser or a dps!

personally im always welcoming to more WoW heroes but i understand there are currently too many. i think they should start adding like WoW, SC, D, OW, and keep that going, since we now have a wow hero coming i think a new SC hero would be dope. im not as into sc as i am the other properties so i actually get most of my sc lore and what not here in HotS lol. so for my next choices i would love SC hero, Diablo 1 Wizard because that would be sweet, OW i want brigette and then back to WoW i want a warlock of some sort, another summoner hero you know. idk who the warlock would be, maybe a gnome would be hilarious any ideas for that?

  • Not me but many players are waiting for a new hero from Starcraft. Id like to play with Hydralisk or Overmind.

  • I look forward to seeing Raven Lord for next 2021 spring event.

  • Personally, I am very interested in seeing a horseman in the game, Baron Riven dare and Headless horseman are good options for 2021 autumn event.

Personally I think with the upcoming Diablo games, they’ll take advantage and give us a hero from one of them. They could give us Baal, finally completing the three brothers, with him being in the upcoming Diablo: Immortal (regardless of your feelings on mobile gaming). But they could also wait until Diablo 4 and give us either Lilith or the Druid.

If they went with SC (Which is long overdue for a new one IMO), they could go with Dylan’s zerg suggestions or they could give us someone like Gabriel Tosh.

If they wanted to give us an OW hero, I’d suggest giving us a Talon character, since we don’t have one yet, like Moira or Reaper.

Finally, while we just got a new WOW hero, we’re probably going to get Lady Vashj at some point (she has dialogue lines in the data mines).

Though they could surprise us by giving us another Pre-WC game character (Like the Lost Vikings). We could get Cyberhawk (Rock n’ Roll Racing) or Blackthorne (Both I believe have data in the game). Or they could give us something crazy like a Hearthstone character (Dr. Boom, Reno Jackson, or even the Innkeeper!)

I haven’t heard about data being in the game, but the devs have mentioned them from time to time.

If we did get a hero from Rock 'n Roll Racer, I would expect that it’s not Cyberhawk, because Kael’thas has a skin called exactly that, which looks similar as well.
I’d imagine it would be Snake Sanders, because he’s the default selection, but maybe they would pick another one since Snake is arguably the least interesting of all the racers :sweat_smile:

I would love to get Blackthorne, though (he’s been my most wanted hero from before the official launch of HotS).

But puting my personal opinion aside for a moment, I think they really need to release a hero from Starcraft. It’s been over 2 and a half years. (it has been even longer for Classics, but I understand SC is “a little” more popular)

Hydralisk is the evident choice here:

  • Zerg posterboy since the StarCraft 1 times, just like marines and zealots are for Terran and Protoss.
  • Was initially planned to be a hero in Blizzard DOTA as Vaevictis, Chief Hunter Killer.
  • Hydralisk was common in the original DotA maps that originated the MOBA genre, with Venomancer being his spiritual sucessor in DotA2.
  • We have 6 terran and 6 protoss, but only 5 zergs.
  • He could be a basic attack ranged assassin; we haven’t gotten one of those since Fenix, who’s also the last StarCraft new hero we got (and we’ve gotten 12 heroes since then).

Not that I don’t want to see Mengsk or the Overmind, but I think it’s time.

Hogger 's invitation to the game gave me more hope of having more heroes in one year. He entered the game almost 2 months after the recent event. He is not a famous hero, but he was able to appear as a actual hero and now he has a good position in general.

I had the idea of making simpler and lesser-known heroes in less time, which I am now realizing it. I think Hydralisk from SC is a great option as well.

I’m personally hoping for some more Overwatch characters. I’d love to see either Reaper, or Zenyatta. There are not a lot of support characters, Zenyatta would be a good one, IMO.

About Overwatch heroes, I guess Mercy, Birigite for 2021.

Separate of new hero, I wanted to say about hero reworks too. The devs team did an amazing job in hero reworks section. Tass, Tracer, Gaz and D.va reworks were too nice and potential. I’ll be glad to see more reworks in futures, special about Arthas, Medivh and Butcher.

THE LORD OF DESTRUCTION, POSSESSOR OF TAL RASHA, CORRUPTOR OF THE WORLDSTONE, MURDER OF MARIUS, CONQUEROR OF SESHERON, TRIUNE SPIRIT OF CREATION, FINAL BOSS OF DIABLO 2, AND THE ONLY PRIME EVIL NOT CURRENTLY IN THE NEXUS, BAAL! :smiling_imp:

I Would love to see more diablo characters. It would ve nice that they bring d2 druid as a werebear form or a summoner. Another d2 character could be Natalya the assesin as a melee or the d1 Rougue as a ranged. Also, it could be nice if they add a GNOME from Wow or at least Vol Jin as a healer. Just dreaming .

If we get more SC Heroes, I’d really like to see Tosh, Mengsk (somehow) or Vorazun, probably in that order.

Not sure as next hero, but I have big hope for Mannoroth coming soon. I have heard some news and rumors about him from all corners ;D. He will has all the necessary potentials in every way such as skin, dimensions, kits and talents and so he can be a good option for game.
