Needs more recognition for stuff from D2/War3/BW. I'm don't know much about Diablo, but who would you bring in from War3/BW? I feel like anyone in War3 is in WoW anyway unless they're dead (and even then they show up every now and then), and the BW characters that don't overlap are like Fenix or Stukov. | ||

Don't even get me started bro. This current hero/character list is garbage. Too frustrated to give complete answer. | ||

Meh, they're obviously going to expand the list in the future, and they had to get the big ticket names in there from the current games. I don't doubt we're going to see some more obscure ones in the future. | ||

If they had just put in these heroes with a standard moba map/design with items I'd be far more interested. Right now I just feel sad because the maps are so small and seem entirely focused on map events for winning. Which is cool sometimes(everyone needs a dominion from time to time) but I dunno feels off. Oh right, also tassadar should of had a crash a carrier into a target for an ult. Also eagerly awaiting a Fenix dragoon hero. | ||

I mean you're not even that far off I think? | ||

Thrall, Grom Hellscream, any Dreadlord, Pit Lord or Eredar, etc. | ||

I don't think a Pit Lord is any more influential than Tyrande or Malfurion. Falstad could probably go, though, but I think they just wanted a Griffon Rider. Like I said, I still have faith in Blizz after all this time, I don't think we'll be wanting for certain characters once the game is fully released. | ||

These are more important inclusions than Mannoroth? Not to mention the inclusion of "generic Barbarian", "generic Witch Doctor" and "generic Demon Hunter" from Diablo 3. | ||

Walking down the road when suddenly this highlevel elite mob rounds the bend and faceplants you on his way to mess up your questing hub town. He was later nerfed but the original stitches was the 2nd most terrifying thing to encounter while leveling in Vanilla(next to Rexxar and Misha wandering around Desolace) Any Alliance player. I didn't even know he existed. | ||

Not to mention the inclusion of "generic Barbarian", "generic Witch Doctor" and "generic Demon Hunter" from Diablo 3. Oh no, I agree on those points, but I don't think it's enough to make a deal about. Like Parnage said, they have enough heroes to have releases for a long time. It's been out for a few days. And like I said, they probably wanted to put in things from the current games. While Gazlowe is less influential than Mannoroth in the long run, more WoW-only players know Gazlowe (Not to mention that he fills a niche role with his charge beam and turrets, while Mannoroth would likely be very similar to Diablo). I think you'd have decriers no matter which order they chose to implement some characters, and while you and many here are likely more partial to the old, nostalgic characters that you know as big bad guys/big ol' heroes, you'd get people complaining if they came in before more modern, relevant characters. | ||
