The next one will be centered on Starcraft, with Artanis probably being the first piece of that. At first I thought well SC hero warrior will be release only when the game is released (thus the pre-order bonus for LoTV) but then, after today, I'm not so sure. I assume the expansion will only be out latter this year, around November or even only in Christmas maybe? But from Blizzard's desired cycle (and being applied since KT I think), with 3 weeks between heroes, even if Rexxar comes before Artanis, that would leave Artanis late in September. Hell, even if they use the map as part of the launch cycle, Artanis would come in October. Sure they may lag the hero releases between Eternal Conflict and the next SC theme...but if they follow the trend either LoTV is being released earlier than I thought, or Artanis will be released way ahead of the game. But after writing all this...I get back to earth and realistically imagine Monk next week, Rexxar 3 weeks later, then 3 weeks later the new map and then a break until LoTV and all the associated content  | ||

This will change the drafting in Pro matches as well i guess, cause the enemy will have no idea what you are going to do with the monk. love the versatility | ||

And, as you point out, it's likely that Artanis will be the first hero released in that event. Arcane enchanted boss from the new map legitimately makes me worried that the boss will be OP for the first time in Heroes since alpha. Arcane enchanted mobs in D3 are the stuff of nightmares. Monk looks great, but I'm worried he'll end up being just another hybrid support based on his role in D3. Maybe more hybrid supports are needed to make them a significant part of the game, but they feel a little underwhelming atm. Rexxar is possibly my favorite WC character ever, so I'm hyped about him coming into Heroes. Also worried though that he may be like the Lost Vikings in that his kit will be a very difficult one to balance. I'm concerned that he'll be way too much and then get nerfed into oblivion like TLV, but we'll see. | ||

Just for sentimental value, I'm planning on picking up leoric so I can entomb right when arcane enchanted hits. | ||

Or, alternatively, how about some of the awful maps from early WoL and/or SC1?

Note: in the trailer, the arcane is what kills the heroes, the other bosses don't.  | ||

Do not bring this evil into existence. DO NOT EVEN SPEAK IT Scrap station, same side spawns with destructible rocks that respawn on a timer and can fall on enemies. Boss at the gold, Xel naga Tower at the turn, Single lane would be a problem though, maybe mirror the other side so it would be as though there were gold bases to the left and the right of the main bases. | ||
