[@Wyzai]

Yes and no. It's only effective if you use it while on low health, in which case you can get sniped by anyone with decent burst damage. Also the cast seems to be 1 second, so it will be rather easy to counter with a stun. It seems like it will make him really mean in 1v1 lanes, though. He can just use his opponent as a health pack and it will be harder to counter if he initiates with it.

Eh. Preferred the Warcraft 3 looks to the WoW one. Did a great job with Kael'thas, could've given Mal'ganis the same treatment. Still though, dreadlord, yay! :D

[@ScorchHellfire]

I would say this version is neither WoW nor Warcraft 3. Especially considering the original WoW dreadlord model was heavily based on the Warcraft 3 one. For this version, the armor almost looks like Archimonde's with those bulky shoulder pads and all the skull motifs. Because of the size of the shoulders, he looks more top heavy than dreadlords usually do. Also, the face looks different than usual dreadlord models and the lips are no longer sunken in and wrinkled like they are usually portrayed. I can understand wanting to update his look to make him look beefier and more imposing, but I agree that they should've stuck to what they did with Kael'thas and Anub'arak and make him look more like his Warcraft 3 self. Hopefully they'll do what they did with Illidan and give him a skin to make him look like the Warcraft 3 version. At least they didn't give him the giant mutton chops of the second WoW dreadlord model.

Mal'Ganis plays a massive role in the beginning of Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, as he is the main antagonist during most of the human campaign, which is usually remembered better, as it is both the first campaign and the one portraying Arthas' corruption. Tichondrius plays a semi-important role in the undead and night elf campaign during Reign of Chaos and has a small cameo in the orc campaign. He is however a lot less active in the open, as he mostly just tells other people what to do and only becomes more active during the night elf campaign, which is the last campaign and thus not as well remembered. Varimathras was never even a character before Frozen Throne, where he mostly played a rather unwilling sidekick to Sylvanas, which he proceded to do until the events of the Wrathgate, where he became somewhat important. After that, he showed no sign of himself until Legion, where he was one of the bosses in the final raid. All in all Mal'Ganis didn't actually do as much as Tichondrius, but what he did was a lot clearer and he is part of a storyline that i far more iconic than anything Tichondrius ever actively took part in, though he did orchestrate that storyline from behind the scenes (in the same way actors often get more credit for movies than instructors among the general audience). Personally i find Mal'Ganis a lot more memorable than Tichondrius, who was mostly just running around being an arrogant asshat, while Mal'Ganis had some enticing flair to him. TL;DR: Mal'Ganis took a more clear part in the best stuff, while Tichondrius and Varimathras didn't

[@ToraxReborn]

@@TheWildmanden but being a dreadlord is all about being an asshat xD

[@pablopoblete9512]

Maldita sea, Mal'ganis! Te perseguire hasta los confines de la tierra si es necesario, me oyes?! HASTA LOS CONFINES DE LA TIERRA!

[@Special_Tactics_Force_Unit]

[@zanesmith666]

Malganis doesn't speak taco

[@alexau1600]

Malganis speak Mcdonald

[@alexkantz9175]

[@user-si7mf8uc8h]

[@StayVCA98]

Wow!! Totally different compare to a normal Dread Lord kit, but regardless its awesome, keep it up Hots team and thank you!!

[@Arhentir]

3:00 Nathrezim vs Nerazim Poor Zera

[@hordix7213]

Clever

[@archravenineteenseventeen]

vs taldrazim vs kharazim vs invader zim

[@harkharring2572]

Aww, no dread infernal

[@SoffiodiFiamme]

It would probably be too similar to Nazeebo's Gargantuan... would fit him better tho.

[@WHATTHEH4CKZ]

Probably wouldn't go too well with a tank/ bruiser though. I'm certain we'll see the dread infernal ult on another demon sometime :)

[@MiguelRojas1]

probably in a eredar like jaraxxus or archimond

[@jamescpalmer]

Thats for verimatheras ;)

[@acuarionohyogaable]

Mark Ferring we still have Jaina though...

[@Caporai]

If your screen buddy is Abathur who put his parasite on your Malganis and both of you lock your screen to your controlled character.

[@dr.badtimes3660]

Now we need a turtle skin.

[@bencecsomos9128]

*I AM MAL'GANIS!!! I AM A TURTLEEEE!!!!!*

[@Thantification]

For everyone who wants to know, Michael Barken voiced him in Warcraft III and in WoW it was Christopher Corey Smith. I couldn't find info about who is voicing him in Hots, but it doesn't sound like Mr. Barken. My guess it's Mr. Smith or someone new.

[@Alex-sx2vx]

this new terrorblade looks amazing

[@xjxjxjx.17]

¡Tengo alas!, ¿Se puede saber por qué voy siempre andando?

[@SalazarII]

[@k1bo996]

[@trollzilla]

[@ArloeMew]

His machinations lay undetected for years.

[@UP_SMASH]

Loving everything!.... except that walk cycle and face expression. WTF!?!?

[@huniverso]

[@omarmoreno8621]

Terrorblade is quaking

[@enso8762]

Q = Riven's Q W = Leona's W but provides armor only and deal damage instantly E = Nightstalker's Hunter in the Night, but with sleep. R1 = Vlad's pool. R2 = Terrorblade's SUNDER but delayed. LMAO

[@mrzgrim2366]

Agree

[@MrExillion]

There is only one word needed for this video. OP, Blizzard forgot what balance is!

[@SilverCrow879]

[@DeatherDreamer]

MAL'GANIS!

[@pipomuniz6372]

PURGAR

[@m24dias]

VAMOS A ACABAR CON ESTO AHORA MISMO MAL'GANIS! SOLO TU Y YO...

[@thessop9439]

TODA LA CIUDAD

[@Demetrius900000]

I see many people don't like his face, and I completely agree. Can you guys remodel it?

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

If they didn't do that for Kael'thas, Arthas, Illidan, Malfurion, or the million whiners of Alexstrasza, they're not going to do anything for Mal'ganis.

[@omarsameh5007]

CreativeUsernameEh lmao i would say delete alextraza model from the game and make new one that from wow i would have no issue if she didn't exist in hots rather than exist with bad memory of fat abomination

[@okokpokjijpij1242]

Personally, I love it. I dont think anyone should change anything because of some crying in hots yiutube comments. Almost as much whining as when mephisto got announced

[@Demetrius900000]

He doesn't look like a dreadlord. Mephisto was a miss too, but that was understandable because of game rating.

[@7LIBROS]

Just in case that memory fails: in Warcraft 3, Mal Ganis did not had the Infernal as fourth ability. His ultimate was Soul Preservation (sends undead unit to the "nether-realm"). The Infernal belongs to the Dread Lord heroic unit that we used to play on regular games/ matches (Death Knight/ Dread Lord/ Lich/ Crypt Lord). So, yes, hard to believe but... they nailed a W3 hero, maybe there will be not more melee Thralls or weird Lich Kings in the future. Fingers Crossed.

[@randomuser1093]

This is a hero with Riven Q and Fiddlesticks R and W

[@FabschOblivion669]

Ult 2 is Terrorblade’s.

[@Yuriy709]

Ult 1 is Riki's with mobility.

[@perspective500]

Sunder but shittier

[@vitoluchishi3211]

[@Captainlonate]

The real treat here is that we got to see the pirate map one last time.

[@Oceaan25]
