Hanamura is the worst even in OW.
2cp is bad to begin with.
Hanamura visually was by far the best map they've put in this game.
Hanamura in every other way...ehh. I still liked it more than Garden or Mines, at the very least, and did really well on the map, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they made it more standard.
I just hope whatever they do the skin of the map comes back because it's so much more visually pleasing than the rest. We have a lot of very drab maps and Hanamura joined Sky Temple as the only bright one to break up that monotony of brown and shadows.

They should bring it to HotS too.

Or make it into a Chromie skin.
I'm super torn on KTZ. I can't wait to see what the pros do with him in competitive, but I think the effort you have to put into him is too much. You either completely dominate, or get shit on all game long.
I can't recall which podcast made a note of how you have to play KT w/ convection until you get it done, but it's the same shit with KTZ except you get punished even harder. And you're worthless as a bag of dicks until you finish it.
Currently 8-8 on him.
Average deaths? 5.3 per game. Currently my highest.

Toad Zeebo is fucking insane. The huge toads will decimate even tanks that catch 2-3. Spirit Harvest is also insane. I've been at 40% health and dropped to barely 5% when it wears of.

Eh, makes sense. Him and Brightwing have it, and Brightwing is another high-presence character.
You're not wrong but at least I wasn't the one playing Nova...
My last match on Kel'Thuzad last night had an allied Stitches, Garrosh and Auriel.
I lost count of the number of times they rescued the enemy Butcher as he was stunned, chained to my glacial spike and about to get hit by the whole pain train. "Okay I got him now" - Garrosh throws Butcher on fucking top of me. Stitches either ate or hooked him out of a combo no fewer than four times.
He's such a fun character that he's the only thing I want to play. But my god I wanted to strangle the tanks by the end.

It's only their newest and probably already 2nd most popular IP. Expect to see a whole lot more of them.
But this Blizzcon they better have a Warcraft map.

MARCH HAS BEEN PICKED. I REPEAT MARCH OF THE BLACK KING HAS BEEN PICKED IN A PRO MATCH OF HEROES OF THE STORM.
Yes
This is the best oppurtunity for march with the buff and the new playstyle from lvl 13/16 talents

Outside of Valeera, what original content does Hearthstone have that they could add into HotS?
One Night in Karazhan Medivh skin.
A Hearthstone map could be hilarious.
edit: holy fuck that Tyrael just went full Hero League with that insanely stupid re-engage after they had already grabbed the boss.

Awwww yeah!
Hearthstone map...
Capture points to draw cards and play minions that push objectives? The curve ramps up over time until we get big bodies being played...or maybe when you capture an objective an assortment of popular cards pop up and the team clicks on the screen and votes for an effect. Blizzard to freeze a lane, etc.
There are so many angles you could go at this with - I'm pumped!
ONiK Medivh skin/voice pack would be incredible
a Hearthstone map could also go with the idea of being inside the tavern, complete with tables where patrons are playing. or for a less "direct" inspiration, a map set in new Gadgetzan with creeps themed the Goons/Cabal/Lotus.
any WoW map other than Southshore/Tarren Mill is a missed opportunity, but I would settle for Wrathgate.
Official reveal on stream now.
Edit: Ana and Juinkrat!

Elise, brann, reno jackson - I think are all HS OG characters.
Maybe they should add the innkeeper and his abilities are all cards from the game lol.
His trait, draw a card.
His ult, temporarily become a hero from hearthstone.
top kek'd brawl gg
BTW I don't think valeera is original to HS.

Oh really? I had always read that they made Valeera for HS because the Warcraft world was lacking in notable Rogues. I'll have to look up her history, because she's pretty cool. I actually wish all of the HS characters were made up, because it's weird that Uther is a character, but the Lich King is a card.
Also, all of the above ideas are goddamn fantastic and I want all of them! =D
Nah, pre-Blizzcon, like Machines of War. I think they're deliberately not doing huge short-term content reveals there due to awkward timing w/ the holiday season.
https://blizzard.gamespress.com/en-CA/Assault-on-Volskaya-Foundry - Ana's images and some of the new skins/mounts.
edit: Looking at the images, Ana's Q is only a heal, not either/or like in OW.

Id assume her AA will act as her damage dart. That would really be a problem in HOTS if you can't heal the person you want because someone runs in front of you.
That's what it shows, yeah.
