Well Artanis will be released before LotV is, and iirc the Diablo package eventually ended, so I wonder how long the Artanis deal will last for. Probably until after LotV comes out, so if you want to wait, you might be able to get Artanis with a simple order instead of preorder... if you don't wait too long. | ||

And if it becomes really bad, there is still Uhter  He doesn't actually have any escapes if this preview is accurate: His Q will bring him back to where he started, his W is targeted like Stitches' Gorge. While you can talent it to get some range, I believe it's still targeted so no dashing in random directions. His E doesn't count either, since you are going to be the exact same distance from your opponent as your started. There can be some clever applications of that to get away, but I wouldn't call it an easy escape. From what I've read about his heroic the first one chases you around at 75% hero walking speed so it should be reasonably easy to avoid, otherwise ya, it's a better version of Nova's ults. He does look fun, I doubt he's going to be a real tank though. It would depend how his trait c/d works. If it starts when the shield is applied then you have a chance to start lowering the C/D to chain shields together. We'll see though. | ||

Stim Drone looks really good though, will be hard to give that up unless it turns out the healing augment on Medivac becomes necessary. Which I can see, she seems to lack AoE healing and using that before rocketing to an objective will top everyone off. On the other hand, if you use to to engage objectives then the logical meeting place is the fountain... (other than hopping between temples on Sky Temple). | ||

If it starts when the shield is applied then you have a chance to start lowering the C/D to chain shields together. We'll see though. His E seems pretty good for escapes. And maybe his Q gets talented to only work Oneway. Can't really say without knowing all talent choices. True, it's not as easy as say Mura or Leo It fits to his general Illidan'ish style EDIT: Hmm i don't think the medic is targetable, cause that would make it CC'able as well and THAT would mean disaster i feel lol, think about a Kael Chainbomb that hits all the passengers ^^ (TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE DAMAGE!!!) EDIT2: Found the talents of Artanis, no escapish talents. But so much CD reduction for shields.. wow All that Theorycrafting that is already going on with him is ridiculous | ||

The medivac is targetable and destroyable, it has a life bar equal to a fully healed medic. Don't think it is CC'able though, or it's hard to tell as it sits still until the count down finishes and then takes off. It does make rushing the core easier. The new loading screens are nice ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/tKc6IRf.jpg) and the new Try mode is a big improvement with the target dummy that measures DPS and the different options you can turn off and on and it will remember next time. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AI4NSsD.jpg) | ||
