Starting Thursday they're actually going to put the entire roster on free rotation until Tuesday to celebrate the summer championship.
Auriel is a Diablo angel what looks like tyreal but straight up heals people.
Varian wyrn is the leader of the humans in Warcraft as seen in the wow: legion expansion cinematic.
And sumoro is an Orc blade master as seen in grubby's warcraft 3 streams and of what they based the dota hero Juggernaught on. Bald Orc w/ big beaded necklace and ninja katana.

Liquid already signed Athero and Sportbilly. Forgot the other person they cut aside from bkb.
Interesting for the next Dreamhack that is a regional qualifier for blizzcon they directly invited myi and dignitas.

Auto-inviting the prior 1/2 is quite reasonable.

Team Dignitas said:
seems shortsighted.
If Samuro doesn't have a racist accent then Blizzard has ruined my childhood.
Actually, we have no idea what she does. She doesn't do anything in D3, just an NPC to talk to/save for a quest.
Sure, her being a support is a safe bet since shes the Archangel of Hope, but for all we know she could be more of a Tassadar type support.
We know the ribbon thing from her lore.
Rest is from https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofth...res_a_guy_on_4chan_who_has_accurately_leaked/

I wonder if they will have something like Kalista R from LoL with that ribbon.
If he doesn't have the same voice, I think people all over the world will be upset. lol

"Yes my lord! What task is there? I hear and obey! Taste my blade!" These better all be in there. Such an iconic hero.... very excited for him
Fury no longer on GFE.
Heard about it from Dunk and Caff on THH. Gave it a try in one game but we were getting stomped so it didn't matter.

Mene or Snitch from Dig also got one.

I guess Gul'dan is likely the next release based on the tease at end of Medivh trailer? All for the character but there are a LOT of mage releases lately.

Well technically speaking he's a warlock, so I'd guess he's less bursty and more damage-over-timey.
We've only had two mages recently, and one of those isn't actually a Mage. Chromie has a very different role in the game compared to Li-Ming or Kael. Prior to that it was 9 months since the last Mage.
Bear in mind that mages are a HUGELY popular class in MOBAs, and that actually Hots doesn't have anywhere near enough of them compared to other games. People love mages!
(It could be worse - last summer we had warrior heaven, with Johanna / Leoric / Rexxar / Artanis all close to each other, which was painfully dull for those of us who don't play warriors).

That was the best, I love all of those characters! I hate all the mages though, so I guess I'm the weird one.
Only recently realised something that apparently most people were already utilising. In vs. AI matches you can quickly do your daily quests, just play against Beginner AI and a match only takes 5 minutes. Most or all of you probably already know this but just in case cause I didn't think of it until I tried playing Hots on my shitty laptop during work travel and only did vs. AI to test performance. Since pretty much all my teammates are usually level 40 this seems to be the go to mode for quests...

Haha yea, since I have very little time to play anymore, this is how I knock out my quests every morning.
It's actually amazing how the generic hero blademaster's lines are more iconic than the campaign hero of the same unit, Grom Hellscream. I actually can't remember any of his lines at all.
Yeah, numberwise it's way more effective un long fights but it doesnt give you a huge spike at 13 like thunderstrike and the build comes online later

Apparently the reason given to Fury was that his gf was the problem.

MVP must be so tilted about losing that series. No idea what went down game 4.

Love how Tempest trashed Thrall, he had his short period of time where he was great but he's just too punishable right now.
He works of your comp is very aggressive and burst, like a stitches comp. Otherwise he's so bad.
Depends on your level of play - even at diamond level he can still be a complete monster because teams are unable to cope with him flanking and wrecking havock on the backline.
At the pro level definitely agree / he fits a very specific comp style and that's it. Most of the times Sonya is better in that role.

Thrall makes pros look bad. He's fine in HL but when was the last time you've really seen amazing thrall play in competitive.
Sunderings are more often misses than hits and even the hits are just so so.

He makes them look bad because so many are bad at drafting. (Or have hero pool issues, as Brian said)
Forum or Reddit post.
Sounds like the PTR is imminent, they're suddenly actively teasing a lot of stuff.
Blizzard post on the internet!
