    Eh it's a little hard to get behind. I always assumed he was Charge'n, not Russian.

    I do like the theory that the omnic skin is going to be release skin of whatever hero is next (firebat).

    I wish i liked playing varian because those pink laser swords are pretty rad.

    I think Kel'thuzad himself is not actually playable. It's just that patch.

    New tweet since old one was deleted.

    I also caved and bought Varian for 10k gold last night. Played two games for fun against the AI to get a feel of him. I really like the "Fury Warrior" build. I need to try "Arms" and "Prot" still, but I think Varian will become a favorite hero of mine.

    I hope it's more than just a Varian skin, even though the skin is cool yeah.

    Just do everyone a solid and if you go into QM or HL or whatever and you're the only warrior, pick up Prot.

    ... like ... please?

    I love Fury Varian and miss getting to play him (CS is good too) but now that it's queing up and him counting as a warrior where he didn't used to be, it's auto prot all the time (which isn't bad since it's pretty strong anyway).

    It would be cool that with his skin if they took another crack at Varian or something. Nothing heavy handed is needed but I know a lot of people get hard tilted by the "Protect" thing. They can't get rid of it without giving him other things, though.

    What I would love is for him to pick his specialization at level 1 somehow. Like if you're going PROT Varian, having to wait until 10 to get some health sucks. Now, don't give them say TAUNT or CS (wait for that to unlock at 10) but it would be nice. It wouldn't be easy without it seeming confusing though. And TB Varian would feel weird before hand since his entire lvl 10 is just "Attack fast!" (I actually wish it had an R ability of some sort as well. Feels like he uses his level 10 to become a Sonya/Illidan?)

    Just talking out loud I guess since I don't know how that would work, but really if I'm going Prot, I just want the health up front. Having to wait until 10 sucks T_T.

    Looks like
    Ana (coming next), Junkrat, new skins, new map....

    Ana described as a "skillshot healer." It'll be an event, with event quests, etc.

    New map is "medium-sized" 3 lanes. It has a mech that two people pilot Cho'Gall-style.

    It has three control points that sometimes activate. When your team has possession of the point, your percentage ticks up. It stops going up if you leave, and can be contested by enemies.

    When you get to 100%, you get the "Protector." First person gets movement, siege, and support abilities (charge, rocket fist which stuns/disables, armor/shield generator). The second person gets damage abilities (energy AoE bomb, gatling gun that follows cursor, laser like a SC2 Colossus.

    The points have moving conveyor belts that will move heroes around. It'll also move most things, like Tyrael's sword and Medivh's portals.

    I put in details in the spoiler.

    The new map looks SOOOOO FUN!!!

    They're saying the conveyor belts don't just affect heroes - Gazlowe's turrets, Tyrael's sword, etc. will be carried by them.

    Article about the new stuff, more pics of skins and shit.

    These quotes are interesting:
    “Ana will not be the last healer you will see in years. Going forward, we want to be much more conscious about how many healers and how many true-solo tanks we are releasing this year. It is something we haven't been doing the best on, but we are on course to do much better. Ana is just the latest result of that.”
    " Some of our healers have what we call white healing. It’s healing, but not always impactful. Someone like Lucio always has tons of healing because it’s passive and always happening. It's like Gul'dan and Lunara always having tons of damage because of their periodic effects, we call that white damage as well-- it’s all Inflated numbers.

    Ana doesn’t have white healing. Each heal will have to be for a reason."

    Demon Junkrat skin's not... awful, I guess.

    Depends on what that is tied up to his wheel, perhaps. Then again, most of his Overwatch legendaries are pretty crappy too.

    I like both of those quotes so much I want to take them out to dinner, but not like a dump, someplace nice, with dim lights and music.

    celestial raptor and invisible horse also insta-top tier.

    will be interesting to have 2 overwatch heroes that don't have crazygonuts mobility. hopefully junkrat actually has mana limitations or we're all going to get spammed to pieces. ana's kit will be interesting, mostly curious about the ults.

    d.va colored mecha dehaka is real good too, i bought the blue one already though :(

    They already show him in the teaser vid mine-jumping over terrain. (1:05)

    E:
    Also, can I say that I'm amused by how Auriel's just kind of there in the promo image and the skin flashover. "Hi, I, uh... have an omnic skin, I guess? Am I part of this? Apparently I am."

    I'm really excited about Ana for some reason. I didn't play her in OW but a skillshot healer is a nice idea, especially given my friends already seem to have trouble hitting the right target with Malf on occasion.

    Also it took like five rewinds for me to even realize that was Auriel in that last bit.

    the map looks neat too. though if you said "of warcraft, starcraft, diablo, and as of yet unreleased overwatch, which will be the last to get a map made for it" back when hots was in alpha i would not have said warcraft.

    alterac valley map plz.
