i want a swarm of zerglings in hots. just 20 or so standart sc2 zerglings.


Because 20 BW zerglings would be broken AF


Not at all. They have 35 health and deal 5 damage. That's about 1/3 of Tassadar's damage and 1/20 of Abathur's health, exacerbated by a vulnerability to AoE .
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

I'll bring something kinda new to the discussion. A lot of characters in HotS are representations of concepts of characters from WoW (Malfurion is a Restoration Druid, Yrel is a Protection Paladin etc). I think it might actually have been that kind of thought process from Blizzard in here, as in "Let's make a Discipline Priest based character, now that would be fun". And secondly they thought up which character would actually fit that fantasy. Here's where Whitemane is the perfect choice - fanatical, being in a pretty weird spot between light and shadow etc. And this renders Velen a completely unviable choice for that character.

Dunktrain's initial thoughts after playing Whitemane on live:

Right now Whitemane feels very feast or famine. Fun to play but probably a little undertuned, only feels like shes impactful in games you would have won anyway : /
