Based on the reactions people have been giving, I'm inferring he's a well-liked character. Is/was he important in the WarCraft lore? Yeah, he's on the list of people who were epic in Warcraft, then got the "idiot raid boss" treatment in WoW. | ||

I hear that complaint a lot, but a lot of Warcraft 1 and 2 characters will killed off in worse ways than "idiot raid boss treatment" in WoW. At least his appearences in WoW were pretty cool.. | ||

No "Vegetables bad, meat good!" please. I've thought this too, but honestly what was Diablo 1 Butcher except nightmare fuel for pre-teens? All he did was run fast and hit you, he didn't have spells or special abilities and had a weakness to closed doors with windows next to them =p. If you mean in character, then ya I hope he loses the camp and 'a species of demons' thing and is a unique monster again. I actually never rolled the Skeleton King quest in Diablo 1 (usually tried to blow past the middle of the game) so I can't comment on what he was like back then. | ||

I don't think any of the bosses in D1 had any special abilities...it was a simpler game. | ||

Kaelthas was awesome until the moment he decided to aid Illidan. Arthas was atleast a jerk from minute one, so I didn't mind that he slowly lost everything. I wonder which abilities they will give him ... every of his warcraft 3 abilities would be insanely op in team fights. TBH I don't mind a ton of Warcraft heroes, but I really want a scifi themed battle ground. | ||

Shit it would be so awesome if the Butcher had a Trait that allowed him to hit-lock opponents  And it makes sense that Warcraft heroes will be the majority; Warcraft is by far Blizzard's largest IP. However, they could stand to diversify the other universes a bit. There is absolutely no excuse for the Necromancer to be missing from the Diablo lineup. Utter. Fucking. Bullshit. | ||

Butcher was just really fast, you couldn't out run him either. But maybe you're right and that could be some sort of trait, some built-in attack-speed debuff (reverse Overwhelming Presence if you will). I'm curious about Kael'thas too. Flamestrike seems like a given to keep. From interviews I've seen, Illidan didn't keep manaburn because that would have been too OP (also frustratingly unfun) and Sylvanas' possession is so weak because controlling a hero would have been too 'unfun'. So I'm not hopeful for drain mana staying. I don't know if he'll keep Banish either for that matter. It's possible they'll go more the WoW fire mage route with him (he does have Pyroblast after all - but that was also something he had in WoW). I hope his trait is a spell steal / purge ability to keep in character with the blood mages at least. | ||
