I miss old Artanis’ force of will or him being useful in general. Also I miss pre-rework Whitenane.

Please elaborate. I don’t feel the recent heroes have been too similar.

Mostly talking about some recent rework changes, Whitemane’s core part by forcing an ‘AA’ build on a Mage-like Hero, when there several other Healers who uses their AA to empower or be part of their kit.
and missing Heroes that were made unique, Deathwing though has been introduced so I’m slightly ‘satisfied’.

I miss when Tracer had 3 builds and a diverse talent tree.

OG stealth and when this game was at its peak pumping out new heroes and content every month

I wanted to as well, since the Chromie rework wasn’t done right, but it wasn’t recent.
That didn’t stop me from mentioning her lol
I miss Haunted Mines. While it wasn’t a well designed map for ranked game mode, it was always fun to play in quick match, and the matches on it could sometimes last forever.
It was so small but then again it felt so huge considering there was an entire underground aspect to it in addition to the regular two lanes.
It’s a map where vision control and proper scouting was a much higher valued commodity than it has been in the last years, and it adequately rewarded players for gaming it to their advantage.
Nowadays it mostly comes down to group superiority around a single objective point. Tunnels were not only an alternative way to travel or surprise the enemy, but more than often a death trap as well if you blindly went in. There was something magical about having to balance out team presence on both levels of the map to gain an advantage.

I miss slapping things as the Garden Terror. To me, the rework is playable, but meh.

It was unique and fun. Entering and exiting the mines and getting 5 man jumped or blown up by Abby mines was great.
The sappers thing bugged me a little but that can easily be fixed or played around

I also miss when people didn’t complain about the game being dead every 15 seconds.

When Alarak wasn’t overpowered as heck.
diablo’s Q with baseline stun lol, those were the days of the Lord of Terror xD 
Old Tyrande with rewind at 20 and so much build diversity
Genji with E resets on DBlade at 10, + his range on E too, yes
Garrosh’s Q that pulled 
I miss Sylvy first rework 
(with tripple Q at 1/4/7) and her real trait
Old Azmo of course
Same with Malf
Stiches range on hook
And of course former Tassadar with shield on everyone, rip 
The old stealth mechanic, it really removed something from the game
Rest has already been said like HGC, the good old days with teasers, in-dev vidz and so on 
Also yes, someone said it, Cloaken in the hero spotlight, literally a former root in HotS ! I hope we’re still gonna get a narration from now on because the Qhira trailer was so life-less :-/
Also… I miss the days prior to the patch that restricted silenced players to queue ranked, really I guess I’m far from the majority but I prefered the atmosphere in ranked before this 
Also just good players, it’s true that at the end of 2018 very good HotS players seemed to have gone for a part of them.
Queue times of course, like almost insta queues in ranked in the middle of the night, it’s a rip with its respective era… the good old days 
Animated splash screen also, we won’t forget that :’)
And there’s the forums too, like the atmosphere was a bit more funky before, and there are some regulars who are not there anymore and I miss reading them.
Also, there was way more devs activity in the forums too, like remember MattVi, that was nice
This one is a bit special, but I miss the era where you could play like you wanted without having to avoid the “afk/nonparticipation” reports, I can’t count the number of games I lost, unable to carry because if I’ve done so I knew I was just earning a free ticket to account closure… Pitty, cause some freedom was removed from the game because of this.
Really I miss this, the guys who had their strat in mind, the guys who were insta locking Nova or whatever, usually these guys were playing a hero they like and they were playing it good. Trolls ? Pffff nah, 1 out of 20 maybe
Overall, looking forward to post Blizz Con with DW addition , who knows what the future holds
Playing with friends all night (weekdays) and all day (weekends)
Old AA Valla kekku
Double bombs + rewind Zera
Godlike Unkillable Tass
