[@Khorothis]

So imagine a team where you have Kael, Illidan, Tyrande, Arthas, and Jaina. So much awkwardness, so much spaghetti... ... I hope someone makes a webcomic about that.

[@ZeFenrir]

Khorothis I'm on it.

[@Khorothis]

ZeFenrir Are you saying you're going to make that webcomic? In that case you have your first fan right here. :D

[@ZeFenrir]

Khorothis Yeah let's give it a shot! :P

[@Khorothis]

ZeFenrir You're my hero :D

[@omertsror7454]

ZeFenrir Link to ur blog/page? :p

[@bossfight1]

Checked to see if Quinton Flynn was voicing him again; was not disappointed.

[@SackBoySnake]

bossfight1 He'll always be raiden in my book.

[@Diviner18]

bossfight1 just curious but where would one go to find out, went to imdb but didnt see anything

[@HeliosKafar]

bossfight1 YEP. Raiden returns!

[@elvenking9922]

bossfight1 Where did you check that. Please tell me :D

[@FireLordJohn3191]

bossfight1 Oh? Is this the same voice as Warcraft and WoW?

[@Darkstorm299]

I think this trailer would be 100x better if he said "Warcraft was just a setback... a stepping stone to a much larger plan... in the Nexus!" but it was still pretty good.

[@kopitarrules]

AnimeFanatic299 The only alteration I would make to that is to replace "Warcraft" with "Azeroth" (Or "Outland" depending on when he was plucked out of space time and sent to the Nexus) JUST to keep the thin veil of lore intact lol.

[@Wizz5]

AnimeFanatic299 maybe the stop poking me joke would tell something about azeroth and outland being a setback, or at least i hope so xD

[@goblinounours]

AnimeFanatic299 Well, no, because this is the pre-WoW Kael'thas (even his design shows it). Although I guess we'll have all the "setbacks" shenanigans with his 'pissed' lines in-game. :D

[@TheWrldDsntCare]

goblinounours ??? Wat. He said "warcraft", You realize there was also a Warcraft before WoW? I mean his story is introduced in the frozen throne.

[@Dyl482]

Kaelthas voice actor is very good.

[@linkk1018]

RebirthWoWGuild true

[@deathbykonami5487]

Quinton Flynn a.k.a Raiden from MGS, and Axel from Kingdom Hearts

[@RamonLovesRockandPie]

"Salama....ashalanoooreeeee...." That gave me chills.

[@NoName1462]

I was expecting a "Merely a setback" line. I was disappointed.

[@juliannim6843]

NoName1462 This video was merely a set back

[@blitzz7324]

NoName1462 The Nexus is merely a setback!

[@BlinkHawk]

NoName1462 "warcraft was merely a setback" no more warcraft heros in a while, it's what they may be trying to say.

[@phadedlife]

***** Being normal is merely a setback!

[@sumerian88]

NoName1462 When he rezzes, I bet that's what he will say.

[@Redmercy]

Hype!

[@yoty1212]

Redmercy Hype!Hype!Hype!Hype!

[@adamthebest4382]

Redmercy why are you here?

[@iBlueFoxxy]

Redmercy are you really using bots LOL

[@DavioReturns]

Redmercy You're playing Hots? o.o

[@raliloth4155]

Redmercy lol red nice to see you in hots man :)

[@satsu2667]

After a year of him in Nexus i realize that Warcraft merely a setback he was just waiting to get in to the Nexus so he can wreck everyone

[@gilessaint-loup2426]

Did anyone else hear "Lament of the Sindorei" in the background?

[@SS-fr8qv]

+Giles Saint-Loup yup

[@IAmHermaeusMora]

You mean Lament of the Highborne?

[@Tharppedo]

And then BC ruined his story.

[@kaneslives]

Yes...yes it did...

[@Ether165]

I choose to remember Kael'thas as he used to be, not the abomination he has become.

[@kaneslives]

It ruined Illidan to until Legion fixed him. BC the xpac of loot piñatas that shouldn't have been loot piñatas.... Well except Kil'Jaden duh.

[@girlgarde]

Same here. I also like to remember Jaina and Arthas as the noble heroes they once were and not the monsters they became. /glares angrily at Garrosh, Ner'Zhul, Gul'dan, Kil'jaden, Sargeras, the Old Gods and the Void Lords/

[@SigmaTheWhiteFlame]

Honestly I’ll never forgive Blizzard for the hatchet job they did on Kael. He had so much potential and he needed another go at Arthas. The betrayal of his own people was so out of character.

[@kamahariakuma3504]

Don't look so smug, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade was merely a setback!

[@Morec0]

Kamahari Akuma And now, for every. single. death. The Nexus was merely a setback!

[@youyoawad]

Kamahari Akuma Death is mearly a setback!

[@Ecliptor.]

Morec0 THAT TEAMFIGHT WAS MERELY A SETBACK

[@blbprime11]

Kamahari Akuma GOD DANG IT YOU STOLE MY JOKE! :P

[@kamahariakuma3504]

American Airmen And this is where you'd say, "Don't look so smug, this video was merely a setback!" ...oh wait.

[@lumpythebored]

Kael has always been my favorite Warcraft character.

[@l33tninj4studios]

I still say we need Millhouse Manastorm.

[@ThunderingRoar]

eww... pls no

[@Voidward]

l33tninj4studios I'd prefer Wilfred Fizzlebang, assuming something goes horribly wrong during the hero summoning process.

[@RavagerVG]

l33tninj4studios one of his ults will be "DOOOOOOOOOM!!!" where he destroys 1 random fort then gets snatched up by a drake and doubles his respawn timer for each use.

[@xpflutebox]

+SpiralSpecter more like "DOOM : Millhouse Manastorm starts casting DOOM for 15 minutes, the casting can not be cancelled and Millhouse can't perform any other action while casting."

[@whereyourbossat]

"I am Kael'thas, and decapitation was merely a setback!"

[@buddytime90]

We need grim patron as the next inclusion in heroes of the storm

[@zeldaking13]

buddytime90 we need grim patron as a murky skin, with hundreds of grim patrons in the ult and a dogpile with the other :P

[@speedslayer1]

buddytime90 EVERYONE GET IN HERE!!!!!!!

[@kopitarrules]

speedslayer1 EVERYONE GET IN HERE! ༼ ºل͜º༼ ºل͜º༼ ºل͜º༼ ºل͜º ༽ºل͜º ༽ºل͜º ༽. ༽ºل͜º ༽

[@Softlol]

kopitarrules EVERYONE GET IN HERE! ༼ ºل͜º༼ ºل͜º༼ ºل͜º༼ ºل͜º ༽ºل͜º ༽ºل͜º ༽. ༽ºل͜º ༽

[@brajuhani]

buddytime90 Hero, if you hit it and it lives, creates copy of itself? Yes, we need that.

[@sithdoom819]

Did anyone notice the song in the background "Lament of the Highborn"?

[@sithdoom819]

Sith Doom in the very beginning i mean really need to find out how to edit a post

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

Sith Doom Mouse over your comment, and a little arrow will appear on the right side of your comment. Click on it, then click edit. :)

[@annalorf7889]

I did. The song as you said "The Lament of the Highborne" is sung by Sylvanas. Pretty weird right?

[@sithdoom819]

Not weird she was the original singer of it in WoW if you found her sisters amulet, she would sing it. She was a highborne after all.

[@annalorf7889]

I know, it's a quest in Ghostlands. What I meant is that it kinda doesn't fit to Kael'thas XD

[@WTii1]

What. No Setback? :)

[@subscriber101able]

***** This trailer itself is a setback.

[@buhlayke]

***** EWWWWYR He's finally in, now I can spend money on this game and have a main.

[@paulstaker8861]

I bet a thousand dollars he will whip out the setback line when he resurrects.

[@Thescott16]

Kael'thas is one of the most tragic characters in Warcraft lore. Him and Arthas... and Sylvanas... and Illidan... and Jaina... and you know what? Forget it... Warcraft is a tragedy; everybody dies. Shakespeare at it's finest.

[@Piromysl359]

So, he will not be Burning Legion affilated. That's good.

[@HeliosKafar]

***** Maybe there will be a skin, that would be cool.

[@ArvexYT]

***** If you listen to what he says closely, it sounds like this was before he started working with the Burning Legion and Silvermoon was his primary concern. Remember that the Nexus pulls them in from various points in time. Even parallel universe if you read the descriptions of the skins. I found the role-swapped Kaldorei one to be amusing and a possible hint that Maiev Shadowsong will be a hero eventually.

[@Maxwaehrens]

Helios1998HALO Remove the maybe and you're correct. I doubt that there is any chance they will not put this in as a skin. Most likely they will do a night elf skin as well like they did blood elf for say Tyrande.

[@HeliosKafar]

Maxwaehrens Right, there is little of ideas that Blizzard could use as skin for Kael'thas

[@mrraisbeck]

***** Master skin?

[@JustAChinesePleb]

I keep going back. Miss the days Blizz didn't make fun of them and actually made them badass like in W3.

[@joshuajezeski6369]

While I'm glad that they're putting Kael'thas into Heroes of the Storm, they really, REALLY need to add more Diablo heroes. I saw a picture with the Skeleton King and the Butcher in the game. Add those two. And maybe Rakanishu from Diablo II.

[@XochiCh]

Blizzar will add Heroes from Diablo and Starctaft when they really need to, since they are planning to get a Diablo 3 map, they are waiting to finish that so they could release a patch with Diablo Heroes and the map.

[@zeldaking13]

Yukine Chris maybe we'll see more D3 characters with the new map, and i believe the SC heroes will come when Legacy of the Void is realesed, as a cross promotion. (read it on another comment)

[@XochiCh]

Shadownia I've said it all over the comments section, Sc and HotS will cross promo LotV. Also the purpose of the diablo map is to promote D3 Heroes.

[@zeldaking13]

Yukine Chris Well i'm sorry i must've misread youre comment :P

[@XochiCh]

***** They can work around simmilarities, they have models for both the Butcher and the Skeleton king, also, aside from the theme, I dont see anything that males him look like Arthas, he's a melee fighter that relies on brute strenght and a massive weapon rather than an undead army.

[@DergonFrostGaming]

There better be some kind of "_______ was merely a setback" either when you die, or if one of your buildings is destroyed.

[@IPIay01]

I never got to see a lot about this character, I'm really excited to see how he plays.

[@lichking9194]

WE NEED GARROSH HELLSCREAM or Vol'jin

[@Trivity_]

I saw the green levitate effects and all I could think was... Ermac

[@dark_figure4702]

Another Hero Trailer... Another beat up on Arthas.

[@gzkyg34]

He lost tho

[@thinhvo3893]

I KNOW RIGHT.

[@DustyllamaMc]

Arthas keeps getting pooped on. And he needs a good skin!

[@brandonstednitz8408]

Tater Hater Of course he's getting shafted. He ruined the lives of pretty much every major character from Azeroth, and that's just from WC3's storyline. Not even counting anything that happened in WoW after that.

[@Archraveful]

Thinh Vo i refer to arthas. he was a prince remember?

[@AzureRoxe]

The reason why he didn't say the "setback" quote is because this seems to be Kael'thas BEFORE he started to join with the Burning Legion, when he still fought completely for his people, the Sindorei. He says the setback thing after he's already pretty much consumed by Fel magic and wants to bring Kil'jaeden into Azeroth through the Sunwell.

[@Rabenkreuz]

kael´thas most powerfull skill is the long and exhausting speech before the battle, during the battle and after he dies.

[@AboveAverageAdam]

Kael'thas hype! Finally get my Fire Mage! :)

[@martinrossler7804]

Best Hero trailer so far

[@The0x6]

Kael'thas , illidan ... ok , let Queen vashj come !

[@Society42069]

The0x6 Lady?

[@The0x6]

Lady Vashj , yes , not Queen Azshara , my bad ...

[@gamerness1278]

The0x6 i wonder what her mount would be, press z to slither faster, lol

[@Society42069]

gamerness 12 she will mount a murlock servant.

[@Archraveful]

The0x6 heheh they gonna make lquen azhara as a hero too but it will be too long along with cenarius

[@KrissPiggie]

Despite the lack of length and gameplay, this might be the most epic reveal of all the heroes so far!

[@FlamyREC]

Sylvanas... Now Kael'thas... those trailers were really dissapointing :P

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

Flamy REC Out of curiosity, what were you expecting?

[@Hakudan2]

Flamy REC honestly i dont care about the trailers, but the characters

[@Mooseplatoon]

CreativeUsernameEh The trailers are getting a bit lazier, imo. I don't really mind, but don't think zoom-ins of the in-game models are getting the hype-train going for me. I just notice how clunky the animations are up close for the most part.

[@iknoff95]

Flamy REC Like your movies. No more animations :D Kurde ;/

[@FlamyREC]

Hakudan2 same but... okay nvm ;P

[@caiocm8]

It's cool how Arthas is the rival of all the other guys in these videos

[@LifeofEbb]

First Sylvanas now Kael'thas? What's next, scaled down Kil'jaeden?! :O

[@ThunderingRoar]

or rag D:

[@icetheking4310]

Mirza Ajanovic dude, Im down for some rag action :D "BUUUUUUURRRRRRNN"

[@VArsovski10]

Capone Genesis Well we could get freakin' badass Urzael while we're at pyro though

[@masser4555]

Prob Rexxar next.

[@gaah23]

Capone Genesis Hopfully Kel Thuzad

[@IAmHermaeusMora]

Magister's Terrace was merely a setback!

[@solartraveller]

They ruined Kael'thas in WoW

[@chasedogman2032]

Specialist confirmed? Sure does look like he's clearing creep waves with Anti-Gravity and Combustion there.

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

That's definitely Fenix in the background at 0:52, right? I mean, Fenix hint while Kael summons an actual Phoenix... makes sense.

[@ExecutorNral]

CreativeUsernameEh HYPPE!

[@technokokos]

Yess!!... Thanks for adding him Blizz!

[@theguy9994]

That lament of the highborn caught me a bit unawares, but it was well used.

[@RemusNeo]

I'm Batman!

[@ThunderingRoar]

you were Meow few days ago D:

[@goblinounours]

Remus Godamnit Remus, take your pills, you're telling people you're Batman again !

[@orgoth4081]

Welcome home kael'thas.....Welcome home been waiting for you to come back ever since Burning Crusade

[@Motolmang]

Not getting Leoric or Kel'Thuzad before him was merely a setback

[@Serbrethren]

Comments: 1) Hey was that Fenix in the background? 2) Hey look, The Invoker! 3) Hey look, Vladimir! 4) Really, another WC hero?!

[@Serbrethren]

***** lol, that too.

[@B..P..]

+Brethren Toons NSHV (Founder of NSHV) Invoker and vladimir was based on kael thas sunstrider,i guarantee.Kael thas came first.

[@Serbrethren]

***** I'm just saying the things people comment on this video.

[@aerodragon83]

I have waited for this Hero for over a year. FINALLY, I will play Heroes of the Storm!

[@RavensaursRex]

Lament of the Highborn playing in background? Sold!

[@sprendinea]

World of Warcraft was merely a setback!

[@jakemoore5012]

When he spawns after dieing he should say "That was mearly a setback."

[@2ExtremeReviews]

At least nobody's like "Oh they ripped off Invoker". like in the other vids :D (Yes i know DotA Ripped off Kael'thas)

[@bebibroly5]

But does his blood cry out for the vengeance of his people's blood?

[@bindair_dundat]

"Magisters Terrace was merely a setback..."

[@1TotalJabroni]

Crusader, Skeleton King, Butcher, all basically confirmed to be coming up. Sticking in the Diablo universe, we still need the Monk, Malthael, Izual, Deckard Cain, Griswold the Blacksmith, Rakanishu, Andariel, Duriel, Mephisto, Baal, not Belial cause he's lame, uhm...that's it for now.

[@deadvex]

Jacob T why you forget Radament? need more mummy love

[@Zomious]

Jacob T They need to add Imperius.

[@thomashenry4588]

Jacob T Add Druid to that list and it's complete. And I completely agree about Belial.

[@narius_jaden215]

Jacob T I doubt i'd see myself enjoying playing griswald.

[@Defileros]

Jacob T On the AMA 2014 on December they said that "there are plans about a D3 Monk inclusion on Heroes", they also confirmed Blackthorne Lol

[@itsjonesh]

Still wantin' to see Kyle Blackthorne on this. From that sidescrolling piece of epicness!

[@Vektor480]

I was really, really hoping he'd say "And the time for our reckoning is at hand" at the end. Would have been a really nice nod to Blood Elf NPCs, but alas.

[@Kaiser499TV]

Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but World of Warcraft was merely a set back. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some 10 year old MMO? Heheheheheheheh Oh no, no, no, it was merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a much larger plan! It has all led to this...and this time, you will not interfere!

[@gumiho8352]

Hearing Lament of the Highborne brings back memories

[@drayog7223]

Who want Malthael ? o/

[@Wisphet]

Bananomaly la banane I would like to see Imperius.

[@drayog7223]

Péter Lévay Me too ;)

[@Archraveful]

Bananomaly la banane maltheal better than imperius

[@drayog7223]

Yap ! =D

[@zachfuderanan8035]

was expecting to see "INVOKER!" comments :D

[@Daggerfall40]

Love it. I've never purchased a hero on release day but I'm gonna make an exception for Kael and Fenix. Also, I'm glad they brought back Quinton Flynn to do his voice overs.

[@DariushMJ]

Fenix pls!

[@scyllas214]

Dariush MJ in the trailer

[@yomohuein2342]

Energy. Power. My people are addicted to it.........Just shut up and give me that mount!!!

[@MasterGhostf]

Im annoyed, no new Starcraft or Diablo characters? Wheres Fenix? Wheres Cain? Wheres Artanis?

[@SuperJeremy1982]

MasterGhostf I can't wait to have an all protoss team

[@ExecutorNral]

MasterGhostf 0:52 Look at Kael's behind. I think that's Fenix.

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

MasterGhostf Fenix is in the background at 0:52 (as kael summons a real Phoenix, coincidence? NO!) and Johanna (DIablo Crusader) was just revealed!

[@UngovernableU]

MasterGhostf Artanis probably comin after rexxar Monk 19th august Rexxar 8th September and Artanis 3 weeks after rexxar maybe if blizzard doesnt change the plan like they changed maltael with leoric :/

[@Altharicus]

Next Champ Harrison Jones, Ult: That belong in a museum

[@Darken901]

Heroes of the storm? More like heroes of warcraft, when was the last time we got a diablo or starcraft hero?

[@DumpsterBuzzard]

Darken901 omg a troll face, dank meme from 2012

[@saeyabor]

Dr. Snowball Trollface is from 2008 if not older.

[@Wizz5]

frank_ _ nope i don't know, i just know how the artwork looks because is the only thing they have released

[@olavlomeland2183]

Darken901 The last Diablo hero? In the coming patch along with Kael'thas.

[@Darken901]

Olav Lomeland Then theres starcraft

[@GrandadmiralSeewolf]

The Remix of the "Lament of the Highborne" Song... GIEV NOW Blizz...

[@Link0402]

Geez. The game is already filled with 60% Warcraft heroes. Some more SC or Diablo please.

[@zeldaking13]

Belydrith However much i agree with you, there are a lot of warcraft heroes they really want in HotS and i think they prioritize those. (to a extent i hope) Also there are more warcraft heroes.

[@Link0402]

Sure, but there's not even every combination of Role/Universe out there yet for SC and Diablo. Like Diablo Support or SC Warrior for example. I'd expect them to atleast fill those gaps before throwing even more Warcraft stuff at us.

[@jericho2014]

Belydrith Butcher and Skeleton King are pretty much finished from what has been leaked. Expect them coming very soon.

[@Link0402]

Jericho2014 At current rate they are releasing less than one hero a month in a game that only has 35 heroes to begin with. So those two will take like another three months I guess.

[@markmeszaros5908]

We need the coolest heroes from diablo like Valla or Tyrael or Diablo himself...oh

[@crazy_acid77]

I don't even play Heroes of the Storm, but Kael'thas is without a doubt my favorite Warcraft lore character.

[@nebelung1]

Invoker, is that you? :?

[@TzvetozarCherkezov]

Neue Ära Nope, the Invoker is based on Kael'thas.

[@potentiallyRealWarrenGraham]

Neue Ära dotard detected

[@TzvetozarCherkezov]

The same model (both in DotA and DotA 2) and the same name. Invoker's name is Kael. His abilities are not based on him, if that's what you mean, but his model, voice and name are all directly borrowed from Kael'thas. Of course it's based on him.

[@ChrisSanchez]

NissesHD Invoker is based on Kael'thas. Don't try hard.

[@matand94]

The first dota was a mod of Warcraft three so most of the characters are similar

[@Oakshang]

Anyone thought he was going to say "Time for reckoning is at hand"?

[@ozanyoung2909]

THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS! ARE WE TO ASSAULT THE UNDEAD WITH NOTHING BUT STICKS & HARSH LANGUAGE?!

[@emperium108]

Let see, Anubarak, Sylvanas and now Kael'thas is beating on the Lich King. Would be awesome if the three of them share a kill quote when they get a Lich King kill in HoTS.

[@Acelif]

Can't wait for Lor'themar Theron

[@Balambambuny56]

I've been waiting this moment since HOTS was anounced. ¡Selama Ashal'anore!

[@wythore]

From a lore point of view, Kael'thas vs Arthas is the biggest fight so far on HotS HA1PE

[@Spirol04]

Pool Arthas! Always getting in cinematic fights while presenting new heroes =.=

[@LinkTardis]

You can hear lament of the highborne in the background at the start

[@deathbykonami5487]

Hey look it's number VIII Axel, only he's even hammier than usual and is more addicted to fire

[@1FLPent]

Thanks god its WC3:FT Kael and not generic crazy corrupted WoW villain Kael, good move Bliz.

[@jorgemichel4657]

kael is an amazing character

[@scyllas214]

so i hope the phoenix ability is like his warcraft III version where when it dies it becomes an egg and if after a certain time the egg isnt destroyed it comes back

[@Speedracer6]

The Sunwell was merely a setback.

[@wall4827]

The setback of my setback was merely a setback of my setbacking setback

[@erezshaharabani7585]

Ian Beckman called it.

[@Xenophontes]

I AM PRINCE KAEL'THAS! AND THE TIME FOR OUR RECKONING HAS COME! The only reason I would ever consider making a blood elf mage. This guy is a badass,

[@deloctyte]

Could it possibly be? The true voice actor of Kael'Thas is back? :3 The cinematic felt a bit rushed and rough compared to most of the previous ones, though.

[@kelthuzad4634]

THE SETBACKS WERE MERELY A SETBACK

[@flamechicken415]

finally kael'thas, now release kel'thuzad so i can play both of my favorite characters

[@SeraphimSephiroth]

I would not even be mad if Blizz gave him back to us in WoW for a 3rd time. Just raise him, have him take back Quel'thalas, and I'll forgive everything.

[@thirion1850]

At last, the first TRUE representation of Kael since Warcraft 3! Glory to the Sin'dorei, victory for the Sun King!

[@RomireTV]

Magisters terrence was merely a setback!

[@TheTrapezius]

Lich king and Diablo always are punching bags for the new heroes.

[@LeoBliksem]

BRING BACK OLD KEAL VOICE

[@dandan9635]

Wow, Blizzard actually make a trailer for every heroes. Impressive.

[@glittch135]

Was looking more for Tosh or a blademaster (One of the Burning Blades is always welcome.) But I'm not too disappointed.

[@Arkydos]

Favorite Blizzard Character? Check! .... Now it is only a question of time: WHEN!?

[@MatthewSchellGaming]

Gnome hero please, maybe Silas Darkmoon. Have him riding on top of Burth.

[@TheMetalWolfx]

Matthew Schell Gelbin will be here its confirmed

[@rodmusic3787]

i really miss this cinematics, they just do spotlights now :(

[@kommerikkedet5356]

And where is the Abathur trailler? --- do make it please
