The Next Nexus Original

General Discussion

So I’m sure the title and the content of this thread has already rustled some feathers, but if I may be so bold, if your only response is gonna be “NO REEEEEE” please just move on

For those of you who are left, here’s a fun game I thought we’d play

So, If Blizzard approached you and said what should we do wit hthe next hero, role, general idea of how they play, how they interact with other heroes etc.
The only caveat? You are told there is no negotiation it must be a Nexus Original of some kind

How do you approach this and what would you want to see?

My initial idea would be to make a full support kind of hero. Just support abilites, shields, buffs, mov speed, maybe some heal, damage buffs, all kinds of buffs tbh. He would have literally no damage/waveclear.

Fang and Scorch, AKA the 2 playable characters added in the second Lost Vikings game, would have a similar multi-hero style as that wasn’t exclusive to the vikings but just the 2 games, and the 2 would probably have a lot more of a focus on spellcasting I would guess if they were added.

I want a fluffy doggo, like Samy the Samoyed.

I still would like to see Delia and Verick (the children of Raena, the Lady of Thorns) as heroes. Maybe in form of a Tag team?
One player controls both heroes but has to switch between the two in the Hall of Storms. Both have different kits. Verick is a support Hero and Delia could be a Tank/Bruiser/Melee Multi Class Hero. You can choose between the two at any time but you couldn’t simply switch, when the other is dead

I don’t have any concrete ideas ATM, but I would go for a really oddball hero.
Something that really shakes up the playstyle like Murky, Abadthur, Cho’Gall, or Deathwing.

I would also make it a non-humanoid hero.

The reason for both is the same: not being “bound” to a pre-existing universe means that anything is posible, so let’s actually make use of that and create a truly unique hero (which is one of the points that distinguishes HotS from other MOBA’s).

Also, I’d ask if there are any other heroes far enough into development so I can add a slightly-hidden teaser for them in the Nexus hero release announcement, in order to preemptively calm down the haters :stuck_out_tongue:
