Next Hero after Orphea?

I’m still campaigning for:
Grom Hellscream
Lady Liadrin
"Make Blizzard Epic Again!"

Alas, it’ll probably be any one of these heroes that I do not care for:
Imperius, Anduin Wrynn, Insert Overwatch hero, Alleria/Vereesa Windrunner, insert gnome hero, Blackthorne, etc

Alleria would make the most sense, as she owns Thas’dorah - Legacy of the Windrunners. Dragon wise, since we have Chromie and Alexstrasza, the ones that make sense are Nefarian of the Black Dragonflight, Ysera of the Green, Murozond of the the Infinite.

Anybody know where Orphea will be classified? Will the Vikings have company now? Or she is the first of her kind?

Oh, you mean the universes? Looks like the same category as TLV , but I’m guessing the name has changed.

Picture is in the thread

Apparently, they’re renaming “Classics” to “Nexus”, and putting Orphea there:

(the filter in the URL still says “retro”, but if you mouse-over the icon, it says “Nexus”)

Makes sense, “Nexus” features characters made by Blizzard that aren’t from WoW, SC, Diablo or OW, so it works for both Orphea and TLV, the only difference being that TLV were from their own game, and Orphea is from HotS itself.

Anduin!
he is so good at BlizzCon.

If they want it to make lore sense they just have to make a TLV battle ground with Tomator as the realm lord.

That would be beautiful actually. We could get a space themed battleground with moving parts and alien minions.

orphea is disappointment to me, but thats ok iam not exited of every hero which enters nexus after all

I wish Vol’jin in game but we got warcraft hero recentely so he can wait…since diablo dissaster at blizzcon lets give something to diablo fans maybe druid (since they dont have one in D3) or Imperius which is higly requested

My guess is an Overwatch hero, maybe someone like Reinhardt or Sombra. I honestly really want to see Ashe in HOTS after seeing her abilities, but she’s obviously too new.

Hope for Lady Vashj!
Come on Blizzard you can do it - give us a naga! We want a naga. We want many nagas tbh, but 1 is a good start.

Not sure about the next hero, but the next TWO heroes are going to be Imperius and an Overwatch. After releasing Mephisto with with the Beleth announcer, it makes sense that they would release Imperius with the Ilarian announcer. The polls show he’s the next most demanded Diablo hero and it would have be an angel anyways to pair up with the announcer (sorry Itherael, you’ll have to wait). They might also be attempting some damage control after going all in on that tap-tap embarrassment at BlizzCon.

On the other hand, we haven’t had an Overwatch hero at all this year (Hanzo was the last one in December 2017).

Naga are too slimy to enter.

I’m still hoping for Arcturus Mengsk, Karax or Rory Swann from SC. But they would have fit into the specialist class that is no longer a thing, I doubt they’ll ever arrive in the Nexus. At least not how i would have liked them.

Doomfist from OW sounds like he’d make a cool Melee brawler, Imperius sounds like he’d be cool from Diablo but not sure how he’d differ greatly from other existing heroes. Ifeel some of the demon lords offer more play variety.

And Wow…not totally sure. I’ve wanted a true undead, and Sylvannas doesn’t count because she doesn’t look like a zombie. I want a char that looks like the player class. And maybe a Demonologist warlock.

Those are my votes.

Lilian Voss.

The cool one, before BFA replaced her with another one of Sylvanas’s lackies.

From what i’ve felt doing the Horde questline with sound turned on (for some reason people turn it off and then judge weird right?) and it seems like shes not actually there for Sylvanas but might’ve been pressured into it exactly like Garona was but difference between them is Lilian chose to act all up Sylvanas’s backside to gain power and position that allows her to help Forsaken find there place in the world.

Also gotta remember undeath changes people thats why shes not hassled with straight up murder and sentient creation necromancy.

Yep. Just like I have been saying since i posted this since 30th August =

They are completing the announcer set. With Orphea they release Ka and Neithis. Only one remaining now is Ilarian if they are not gonna release the “Scientist” on Braxis Holdhout, which I think they will not. Maybe at a later date. Mal’ganis release had only him so I guess in December with the Sylvanas + Stitches rework they will not add any “map announcer”.

So I think Imperius will come in January 2019.

Thought of playing Stitches, mate? He’s a true undead zombie :wink:

Well, we are getting Azshara in WoW soon ™ so maybe we will get Naga in HotS too? Although then it would be probably Queen, not Vashj.

I kinda still wish it would be Imperius. Killed Malthael with my necromancer yesterday to remind myself of long dead game… Would like to relive conversation between Valor, Justice and Death once again :wink:
