The Heroes the Nexus needs right now

Heroes of the Storm has released it's first major content expansion and there are already 2 heroes confirmed for the future. While King Leoric and The Monk look cool,  here are the heroes we hope and pray will find their way into the game.

Belial - Lord of Lies

"I cast off these petty illusions! Behold, the true vision of the Lord of Hell!"

Diablo Schmiablo, am I right?  Belial is the true Lord of Hell, and should be represented in the game.  Not only does he look imposing, he may also open up a new style of gameplay.

As the Lord of Lies, Belial’s gameplay could be based around deception.  

Perhaps he could fake his abilities, perhaps he could throw out shades of other characters, or alter map vision in some way; the possibilities are endless.  Not only would this add a new facet to existing gameplay, it would empower characters with detection skills. It is not enough for me to destroy my enemies, they must also be made to feel foolish.

 

 Dorazion 

The only hero that matters is a representative from the Rock N Roll racing series. I picture Jake Badlands would be ideal, as he has blue hair, a black leather jacket, and awesome cornering stats. The voice interactions between him and E.T.C alone would be worth it.

Seriously though, I just want to believe that The Lost Vikings isn’t the only “vintage” Blizzard representative to the game. Unconventional heroes make the game so cool, and nothing is cooler than driving an Air Blade, shooting Rogue missiles and zooming through the map with Nitro boosts.

As cliched as it is, I can’t wait for Kel’thuzad.

If playing Necromancer in Diablo 2, maining Undead in Warcraft 3, and generally just loving undead armies has taught me anything, it’s that they are always overpowered. Not that I’d want Kel’thuzad to be overpowered, but he does need to have game breaking abilities. I like to think he’ll be a support but in… interesting ways. Maybe he has an ‘Ice Block’ type spell he can cast on allies so they can’t take damage but can’t move either. Maybe a spell that he casts on an enemy and it transfer a part of the damage dealt as health to nearby allies. And both of these spells could be powered by the most iconic spell of all: his beloved Dark Ritual. Whether it be mana gaining or ability empowering doesn’t matter, it just HAS to be there.

Dragon Aspects. Dragon Aspects everywhere.

I would really like to see Malygos, but if I had to choose the first one entering the Nexus I would choose Neltharion, or as his more popular name is - Deathwing. I think the heroes in the Nexus are being pretty smug as they are and it needs purification. Good guy Deathwing is just our man for the job. The way I see the Destroyer, is having a trait that allows him to swap between Human and Dragon form, each giving him different skills and allowing for different gameplay. The Heroic choice has to be between a Heroic that is active as dragon and passive as human and the other one vice versa.

Deathwing should be introduced in some sort of War of the Ancients expansion with a battleground centered around the Well of Eternity and the teams fighting for control over the Demon Soul. Move it Blizzard.
