I thought I may as well add this to the “what you want next” universe of forum threads. I would put down support hero, but the the Devs had said not to expect one. So with that in mind, next I’d like either a Tank or a Healer.
We still have too few tanks IMO and more healers are also welcome. Please not another bruiser! Maybe an assassin as people love them and it’s been awhile since we’ve had one.
Either a Melee Assassin or an AA-focused Ranged Assassin. We could always use more Tanks and Healers, but Melee Assassins are our second-smallest class and we’ve gone a long while without a Ranger/Marksman hero.
How about Selendis (Zealot) and Talis (Adept), respectively? We need a new Starcraft hero soon anyway.
I’d love a support hero next, a true support hero like old Tass. Lots of supportive abilities, helping teammates and being the difference in the battlefield, carrying his team to victory through supporting.
Since devs said they are not working on any support heroes atm, then I’d love a really flashy assassin.
Ranged Assassin. Been almost 3 years since Orphea. And I agree with most, an AA Marksman. Preferably Lady Vashj, she checks all these boxes, and is a Naga, and most of her “friends” (Illidan, Kael’thas, Maiev, Tyrande) are already in.
The majority of people WANT an assassin whether melee or ranged, but what we NEED are tanks and healers. Unpopular roles need more help lifting off and diversifying.
The majority of players are ranged assassin mains. There is no shortage of players each ranked game for who wants to be the assassin.
Unless blizzard wants to give up getting players to not be ranged assassin. Then you’d just pump out 3 ranged assassins for 1 of every other role. Maybe even up to 5 if we’re gonna go with popularity of roles
Indeed, that’s why I said I wanted a tank or a healer. We have 13 tanks and 16 (thanks Darak for the correction) healers. In ranked play after bans that is far too few of both roles. I was just being self aware for a change and admitting my bias when I wrote I wanted either Tank/Healer.
Only from perhaps a marketing perspective would I want an assassin. As you noted, the assassin role is beloved by far too many players. I want people to keep logging in and playing, or have a reason to return, so I get why an assassin might help with that. Personal preferce though is for a Tank or Healer.
I’m now so used to seeing Yusuke with the Genji avatar I at first thought it was Yusuke quoting himself, I’m getting old!
Yes, again you’re right and I feel I’m having a senior moment. Either way that’s still too few Healers, but it means we need tanks even more so. I put Cho in their number, but really he’s a special case and hardly played.
Oh you deleted the poor Stitches crying! I love Stitches, but his hook makes him so hard to balance as a tank that sometimes I wish they would either make him a bruiser or remove the hook.
