In what will probably be the most anti-climactic teaser for HOTS ever
We’ll probably get the Hogger teaser tomorrow since next week is the last week of the season, so PTR monday or Tuesday to have Hogger coincide with shadow lands release and new season of hots
Hogger has routinely been one of the regular requests for new heroes, according to the Reddit polls, so I doubt I am the only one looking forward to him. I hope he is a melee assassin, as we could use more of those in the game. And yeah, I agree with MurlocAggroB in that I can’t really be unhappy about new content, even if it isn’t Reinhardt.
That is extremely debatable. They replaced The Lich King with Hogger during a live raid at Blizzcon, and the raid team wiped. There’s a stat tracker in WoW counting the number of times Hogger killed you. People used to form Raid Groups of level 1 Gnomes and take on Hogger.
Even Kael’thas can’t help but misquote his aggro sound. That’s how famous he is.
I still don’t understand why people are so… pathetic when it comes to be released a new Warcraft hero. But I understand one of the reasons behind it — you don’t know the Warcraft lore.
You wanted so much Deathwing - devs launched him for you. You’ve played him for 1 month and then you threw him to the forgotten heroes. You’re back to your old heroes.
You were also impressed about Mei release and loved her - barely if I’m playing with a Mei or against her in 1 of 20 matches that I’m playing.
Speaking about Hogger, he is a great character. No, he is not a kobold (I’ve seen a lot of people confusing him with a kobold, which is blowing my mind off). No, he is not just a gnoll. He is the king of gnolls. Veteran World of Warcraft players know that I’m talking about.
Let’s not release Overwatch heroes just because you’re playing too much pew-pew.
A lot of players are confusing Heroes of the Storm with a mini-FPS game.
And now you don’t want Hogger, after so many threads where you asked for him. What a tragedy.
Couldn’t care less about Hogger, especially cause there’s dozen Warcraft heroes needing to be added. I’d give a 1000 Hoggers for Vol’jin, Lady Vashj, Lor’themar, Mekkatorque, Khadgar etc…
Not to even mention that Winston and Reinhardt haven’t been added. (and most probably won’t be)
If it becomes a warcraft assassin im automaticly not interested. Its 2 things the game needs less of. If its a bruiser/healer/tank/support. Then sure, i can accept it being warcraft. But otherwise, i rather do not see the hero at all.
Even if its a melee assassin (which we dont have that many of) i realy wont care. The issue is simply that its an assassin melee or not barely matters. We have qhira… a hero that to me shouldnt even exist, which for a melee hero doesnt even feel that much like one either.
Haven’t played Warcraft 3, have you?
No, not a single simmilarity. He’s a Shadow Hunter, a ranged healer and support.
Maybe, however as I mentioned on my topic (linking cause I can WoW classes in HotS) way back, we have a frost mage (Jaina), we have a fire mage (Keal), so we need an arcane mage, and either Khadgar or Rhonin would be best for that role.
I’ve made a hero concept, linkin it cause I can ([HC] Rhonin, the Archmage of the Kirin Tor)
No, he’s a support, while Arcane mages are the burstiest assiassins of any WoW class and spec. Also, he lacks the signature Arcane Charge mechanics. Same goes for Li Ming. (don’tt have to read it, I just linked them for I don’t know what reason)
