Magni might be a little hard considering Muradin and since there's a Magni skin that might actually have been his ultimate fate. Anyways, it'll be really exciting to see what happens. At Gamescon they revealed 4 heroes (I can't remember how many were for the first time though). So it's not too much to hope for at least 4 hero reveals at Blizzcon right? Right?! | ||

Maiev has already been turned into a skin. Also, I don't expect a hero to be made using a name belonging exclusively to a non-current instalment of a Blizzard series (ie. SC1 and D2) for obvious reasons. A skin at the most. | ||

Forgot abut Tyrande's skin, but technically it's Warden Tyrande, so there's still hope for Maiev. After all Betrayer Malfurion and Shan-do Illidan shows how willing Blizz is to confuse the hell out of us (and the Warden skin is part of that set even). You might be right about D2 heroes, with the Amazon skin for Nova. But who knows, Tassadar isn't exactly a SC2 character other than as a ghost/flashbacks. And SC2 brought back Duran from BW even though 'every knows' they're retconning BW out, so it's not like they're totally ignoring the existing of their back catalog. | ||

http://blogofthestorm.com/what-new-heroes-will-blizzcon-bring-to-the-storm/ I wish they provided more direct quotes to obsessively pour over, but I'll trust they aren't radically mangling the intent behind the quotes. | ||

All other Warcraft characters (or in one instance species) have significant presence in WoW and other ongoing Warcraft material. Nobody says hi, and nobody will. | ||

I'm not sure Azmodan was ever considered Tier 1 outside of the pro scene. You have to have a very coordinated team to make Azmodan work. | ||

Hell, with Infested Stukov in Heart of the Swarm, they're apparently even keeping Resurrection IV in canon, and I don't know than anybody actually wanted that. I wouldn't despair of getting characters who've inspired skins though. Sometimes they just want to give a character a different look, like they've already given both Valla and Diablo Tyrael skins, despite Tyrael being in the game. As long as the hero itself plays different, there's probably still a chance. I wouldn't think much of the chances for Terran Kerrigan/Samir Duran/Gabriel Tosh/any other Ghost though. | ||

I mean back when WoL came out there were a lot of threads about how Blizzard was intentionally retconning BW - Raynor forgiving Kerrigan, the fact that the UED doesn't have any influence on the current story, ect. That's why I put it in quotes, because the argument that BW was being retconned seemed selection bias at best since clearly a lot of BW made it into SC2 (like ignoring Hybrids and pretending Dr. Narud wasn't Duran). | ||
