And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
DR FUCKING BOOM IS (eventually) GOING TO BE ADDED TO THE GAME :D:D:D:D

They say they look at websites like Reddit, anywhere people can vote on (up-vote) heroes they want.

And now they're going over the design cycle it takes for them to make a hero. They talk about the importance of silhouette in hero design. How Heroes need to clearly standout from one another. Now they're talking about Lunara and how her design harkens back to the original concepts for Dryads from Warcraft 3 that they couldn't implement.

Lunara doesn't walk, doesn't mount, she SPROINKS. More mobile, more agile. Great for dodging skill shots but her disadvantage is movement speed across larger maps.

"look at all these details on the models that you can't even see because you play the game on the lowest settings to maximize the framerate"

Lunara looks like she has crazy mobility in fights, especially with her second ult, but terrible map mobility. Plus she has a vision tool tied into her kit. She looks more like a Dota support than a HotS ranged assassin.

greymane is infinitely much more interesting than the dryad

Greymane's second ult resets on a kill, ultimate chase-down hero.

It's like Axe, you can just keep dunking and turning low health enemies into pink mist.

I wish they would've gone through some of Tracers abilities :/ She's so fucking hot, it's crazy.

like, I'm not even talking about her ass but rather her whole design from top to bottom is just fantastically designed and yes I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm attracted to the design!

And yes I do realize she's not real :p

edit: wait so I can't even post legit Tracer pics now without it being called 'porn' ._. WHAT?

Lunara is a ranged assassin with some support abilities (slows, vision) and incredible combat mobility but slower map mobility. One ult looks like crap, the other looks ridiculous powerful, two charges of a leap attack that lets you move over terrain, enemies and back again.

Greyman is a ranged/melee hybrid assassin. You wear people down at a distance and can close the gap quickly to finish them off by shapeshifting into a Worgen. Human form is weaker but ranged, worgen form is stronger but puts you in harms way. One ult is pewewing a silver bullet and increasing damage the target takes, the other is a Worgen 3x melee attack that instantly resets on a successful kill. You can wipe a group of low health heroes.

Yo, did Enchantress just get put into this game because I am down.

Cho'gall seems interesting, but who knows how it'll work in practice. Hopefully having two people on one hero helps with those who have 0 map awareness.

Cho and Gal can each select skins and mounts but the game randomly chooses which it uses. It picks the skin choice of one, the mount of the other.

If someone chooses anything other than Cho'Gal carrying the horse, they're doing it wrong.

GUL'DAN CONFIRMED! (Being worked on)

With him saying that, you could probably assume a release close to Tracer (Q1-2 2016)
