I love the way the new models look and i think that skins are a great addition to the remaster version.
i just hope that the skin idea will be more and more stacked with time. eventually paying money for skins or dlc with skins so we have a big variety to choose from our loved charackters from this universe.
one thing that made me sad when playing warcraft3 is that you follow arthas the hole storyline finally becoming the lich king knowing you cannot play him at all. I just hope we are capable to get a lich king skin for the deathkinght(pls without a horse).
… Varian as mountain king would be cool too someday

LK without a horse would look strange with the DK movespeed and turn rate.
It also just doesn’t quite fit the mystique of the Lichking to be a simple DK.
All other encounters in other games with the Lich King, his movements are slow, deliberate and generally feature frost. (like a Lich… hmmmm maybe something to do with the fact that he literally is a Lich as an immortal undead spellcaster whose soul is bound into an object (the crown))
Just because the meat-puppet he possesed was a DK before the crowning, doesn’t mean that his style of combat should be a DK.
Besides, we are getting an Arthas DK skin, as a fallen king, wearing the crown of Lordearon.
Skins like Jaina (on a horse) as Archmage, Thrall as Farseer etc all fit the characters.
we cannot get new heroes. the only way we can get him is with the current heroes and i think the dk has the most similarity with the lich king.+ i think the move speed think is already looking a little broken in the beta.
thx for the fast comment
Nah I feel we should just leave him on the throne where he belongs.
The LK is too grand a figure to feature in a melee match.
I’d rather have Darion Mograine with Corrupted Ashbringer (WoW) or Teron Gorefiend (WC2) as a new DK skin.
Warcraft 2 Deathknights were cooler anyway, if you ask me, but they really are more spellcasters than knights… so perhaps dismount them and make them a lich skin?? Tricky.
Liches did take Death and Decay, which was a WC2 Deathknight Skill.

sadness in my hearth :c
what about the varain thing? @MrDragon
Figuring out Avatar is a bit tricky but I think Varian could work.
WoW Warriors took Stormbolt and Thunderclap, so it’s on brand.

I definitely hope for mounted/unmounted variations of models like the DK, Archmage, Far Seer, and especially Thrall. These types of things open up so many world editor possibilities.
A couple other related things on my wish list related to world edit:
-Hopefully an easy-ish method to swap a weapon for a model/skin. Odds are we will have to alpha out the weapon and use a model attachment though.
-some sort of animation swapping utility would be amazing. If you have the ability to give a blademaster’s animation set to a Paladin’s model, this would open up a world of possibilities. Im aware that this probably isn’t as simple as it sounds (especially for mounted characters); but I remember somebody made a utility like this for Wc3 original map editor.

Who knows GettinYucky. Blizz did say they’d release art tools to help the modding community with WC3R.
for skins they should not change the look of heroes so i think Lich King on Horse will look good.
for Varian i dont think there is any hero will fit his Warrior Fantasy in the Humans.
Heroes i think we could get are:
Humans:
_MK - Magni, and maybe Dark Iron Dwarf.
_AM - Khadgar, Rhonin.
_Pal - Turalyon, Tirion.
BM - Rommath, Voren’thal.
Orcs:
_BM - Varok, Rend Blackhand.
_FS - Drek’thar.
_TC - Baine.
_SH - Vol’jin.
Night Elves:
_PotM - ??.
_KotG - ??.
_DH - ??.
_Warden - ??.
i can’t find any important character that could fit the NE heroes so maybe they could go with just different looks not lore characters.
Undead:
_DK - Teron Gorefiend, Darion Mograine.
_Lich - Lady Deathwhisper.
_DL - Varimathras, Tichondrius.
_CL - idk but maybe something with different look.

“for skins they should not change the look of heroes” so i think Lich King on Horse will look good.
changing the look of heroes. isnt that the point of a skin? sorry but i am a little confused what you want to say with that and how the lich king would look good on a horse but thats a different topic xD.
in pvp if you see a mage on horse you will know that is a AM, if you see Dwarf with axe and hammer you will know that is a MK.
but for example if they make a mage on his foot people will not know what that hero is and get mistaken and confused is that AM or BM ?
they must do heroes skins like moba skins so every hero should keep his idenety in pvp.
this is why Jaina on horse in her skin .
Edit: sorry my Eng is not good on horse i mean mounted.

For the life of me, I can’t understand why people wouldn’t want MORE options / more skins. At least for use in world edit. If they don’t like it, don’t use it for anything. But when it comes to map editing at least, the more options the better.
for mobas you need to know every heroes skills just as in w3. i think new players will be confused seeing any hero and pro players would already know every heroes skins and stuff. dont you think that way too @warthief?
i dont think we should stop the capabilitys of skins becouse of something like that. i love much veriaty 
i understand what you want but the problem is in pvp everything must be clear .
i am not big map maker but sometimes i use the editor for fun and i love to have more models to create my own race or story …
and i undrstand even if you use models from other models makers sometimes they feel buggy and they dont fit the art style of the game so it much better if we have more official Blizzard models in the game to keep the same art style.
but the main problem this models are not eazy to make and they need so much time to do a 3d model with animations …
so making more models just for the Editor user is not a good option for Blizzard if they dont make money with this models.
but as WC3 Editor fan i am happy to see many new models for creeps and campagin characters i could use in my own games.

well i mean they dont have much options after theyre done with the remaster to make any more money then the purchase of the game. but i think after the finished game has come out i would love to see additions in the skins from time to time.
and yes they should not concentrate on making many skins right now.

for now they should focus on making the game good and playable with no bugs lags …
after that if WC3R made huge succes maybe they will add new things to the game like new campaign , modes or units or race …
and that mean we will get new models to use on the editor .

No. No new campaigns or new races.
We need to keep cross-compatibility with Classic.
New skins certainly wouldn’t hurt, though.
@FilthyCasual
what does cross compatibility has to do with campaigns? i mean its not like you could play them in multiplayer but i get the race thing and agree to that one.

I have no interest in purchasing skins, unlockables are fine, but I’ve played wc3 for 17+ years (and wc2 before that) without ever thinking that a skin would improve the game.
I’ll probably play campaign once, as I already played it almost 10 times over the years and don’t care about the new changes, and I would actually prefer the option to disable skins in ranked multiplayer as I find it may be too distracting. I’m already concerned that most pros will stick with the classic artstyle as the new artwork has such muted grey/brown colors that it can make competitive play a bit more difficult
I am all for adding more options/features to the world editor, but what happens if a custom map is utilizing skins I don’t have? will I still be able to play that custom map? I don’t want to be forced into buying various skins just to play a few custom maps
I posted my ideas for DLC here —> https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/warcraft3/t/ideas-for-reforged-expansion-dlcs
theres no reason that adding a new campaign (co-op or commanders mode) would effect the classic game in anyway, they would be separated.
I hope that if blizzard plans to add more heroes to multiplayer, IMO they should keep them in a separate ladder/matchmaking similar to how RoC and TFT were always separate. I would like to see a new race added (maybe someday) but classic TFT should remain as its own separate ladder.

Hmm
I guess we need an expansion then, when Reforged comes out which would include some new things that cant be played in Classic.
