Still no Imperius tho.. the only Hero that can bring me back to playing this game active :D

[@Zero_5906]

plus I dont think many people actuually OWN the hero soooo yaaa

[@EnesLOTR]

So its the 70% of champion's Cho'Gall is weak not worth waste of 2 player's

[@lazerrhino]

Batman Yeah he needs a buff.

[@MrMrjimbo96]

finally get a character people are asking for for so long and yet people still complain. if it was kel'thuzad who was announced people would complain thats its "heroes of the warcraft" gotta feel bad for the devs sometimes

[@sophiearcher6153]

while i still want kel thuzad, malthael is awesome and im fine with him too.

[@underworldshinigami]

that should be obvious when people even said we want new COD and then when they get it oh we dont like it we want old COD so we're willing to 80$ just to get a COD we all litterally already own

[@iodred]

Well, to be frank, Malthael could have been so much more than this. His abilities look bland to me.

[@somethingclever3714]

how? he shuts down arthas, easily one of the hardest heroes to beat. you say bland but his attacks are very complicated and if not used right he could be horrible. he's just like alarak but better against tanks...

[@JoeLthegamingmage]

I wanted blackthorn, is that so hard to ask, just a 2nd retro rep?

[@mrdrfuzzybalz]

for like a week 2 week's tops what we really need is more ranged assasins with built in percent health damage to stop this dual an tri tank comps but i'll be maining maltheal mostly cause i don't play tychus so i needed a percent health assassin in my kit

[@Plasmapause]

Yeah but... the %50 max health on his ult and with max CD that's every 15 seconds...

[@jojkill]

50% of missing health minion, not max health

FINALLY, one of the most requested characters from Diablo is coming.

[@EnzoCroft]

When did they announce Deckard Cain?

[@christianprevost8455]

never lol since he not cool and not worth to be put in the game...there plenty of cooler character over him

[@thomashenry4588]

Baal? Mephisto? Imperius?

[@christianprevost8455]

yup and belial,duriel etc

[@NiekVL]

Oh my god It's a hero everyone actually wanted! You sure you wanna do this?

[@HomicidalBluePikmin]

Niek VL I just imagined a claw machine with Malthael and Fenix and Kel'Thuzad at the bottom under a bunch of other characters, and they keep hoping they'll be chosen but the claw misses them every time until now.

[@raziel6304]

I'd rather have Mephisto or Baal.

[@enderdrache]

Don't worry, they still have Imperius, archangel of "that doesn't seem like a good idea".

[@Ducksquare]

The Main Duck YOU DARE REJECT THIS GIFT

[@Someone-xn6yh]

Well looking at these comments, half of which are "where's Kel'thuzad, we didn't want this", no, it's not a hero everyone actually wanted, weirdly enough.

[@CMTechnica]

I will never not get chills watching Malthael come out from the dark, and watching his power age that dude and take his soul. I found my deity to worship

[@learningguitar2693]

Rip 2 warrior comps.

[@Terawattplaysdrums]

smells like first ban material

[@TimothyStuder]

Along with Leoric and Tychus, so you waste all your bans on blocking them from countering your warriors, or you run a comp with only 1 warrior?

[@brunohommerding3416]

People acting as if we had no tank counters before Malthael, kind of funny

[@AcidGlow]

*This character is so cool!! ✅😀*

[@horner385]

His voice is the best part (and his grey wings)

[@AndyPlaysAllNight]

I guess the best mount to use for this hero would be his Phantom.

[@VArsovski10]

that being said = we need a fly/float mount, just as he moves but faster, might even add up a bit of ghostly animation when taken the mount speed at lvl1 in addition :)

[@Thanos_aka_Imperius]

Azure Nimbus Cloud better

[@Karabarsz]

I hope with Malthael you add to every angel a specific mount so they can fly like how Alarak is hoovering.

[@TrevorXStrydeR]

I don't like how Alarak hovering as his mount. Because I always want him to be mounted on orochi hover cycle.

Jesus Christ Agreed. The only OW hero I might ever want is a McCree design that can't attack and move at the same time.

[@vforvenom9337]

Lets say that Varian is three time's better than this

[@povisykt]

[@Arthas144]

"With Malthael's arrival, death itself has descended upon the nexus" ...I know Arthas is a joke in Hots but rly ?

[@Xarca]

Arthas144 Arthas is top tier last I looked.

[@mirahorner6277]

Arthas144 i was reading comments and listening video and i readed this comment whan that voice was saying "with M..."

[@odotawaissaku3755]

Arthas may be top tier, but he doesn't FEEL top tier. He's only top tier from numbers. His actual kit is boring.

[@odotawaissaku3755]

I almost never see him played, so... no? I never said his kit wasn't useful. He is an old character, and his abilities feel just as outdated as the older League of Legends characters were (/are). The only thing about Arthas that feels epic to use is Syndragosa. Everything else is pretty tame.

[@hunghung9537]

Arthas144 arthas has no ability about death. But Auriel and Leoric do.

[@poetsrear]

Have you ever consciously marveled at how absolutely bleak Malthaels talent tree is? Just plain grim things like Massacre, Die Alone and Inevitable End. Tastefully shivering.

[@Lukas7360]

His success depends entirely on his marks ? seems like a casual student to me

[@lunarservant6781]

genji: assassin that requires attention and hopping on a target as soon as the opportunity presents itself and has a bit of a skill ceiling malthael: just autoattack people and ult them to kill them for all health you just autoattacked from them nice transition blizz.

[@F0ulimm]

[@adaikonen]

This guy's abilities sound right up my alley!

[@janegarcia248]

tormented souls seems really underwhelming because of its radius and minimal damage , last rite seems like a much better option

[@AzureBashXIII]

if it applies also a slow it would seem more viable or with Jainas Ring of frost

[@Azelf221]

Anti Kebab I think it's more of a utility ultimate option

[@janegarcia248]

Anthony Nwachukwu yeah I thought so at first but notice the aoe's radius , it's very small and enemies can just move away from it.

[@flipside9608]

He's meant to counter warriors and bruisers, who are mainly melee or extremely short ranged. So they tend to cluster on objectives or on targets. Anyways his wrath strike helps in move through the battle and tormented souls is a reliable way to apply your mark for your soul rip healing, letting him sustain the fight.

[@baoannguyenuc5775]

hmmin my opinion tormented soul would be a better ability just imagine he can spam Q deal much more dmg in a team combat if last rites you can only deal dmg to 1 unit and it's just weak if you can't deal any dmg or they've a heal supp tormented soul cangive malthael be more useful in a team combat and increased his survival ability in a higher level

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

As someone who plays Lunara, I think I'll really enjoy this guy. I don't play Diablo, but WOW this guy is striking, really cool... The animations look so smooth, so spooky. I can't wait.

No need to worry. Once his basic attack has been made into a splash, damaging multiple targets at once, he's become amazing. And clearing the camps is also much easier now too! He has many options and it depends on the player how they're going to use them.

[@Saimeren]

He's SOOO squishy. Even with the 2 second Q heal spam. Play him like you'd play Greymane. Go in, deal some damage and get out. Don't get caught in a losing team fight because you'll go down fast.

wtf is that ugly design of reaper's mark .. a blue ugly sticker that covers most of the marked hero .. the glow effect was more than enough

[@VArsovski10]

Notice how the mark is ACTUALLY the soulstone he collected in the video, the very same shape, AGREED though, I also think it should have some opacity or put it above the heads of opponents lol

[@Archaeologist89]

Thank God this is getting upvoted. Blizz needs to address this. I couldn't stop being frustrated at how opaque and cluttered it looks.

[@alexperoff-investingessent8367]

I can't believe I needed to scroll to the bottom to see that somebody else noticed the photoshop sticker as reaper's mark. I hope they change it. I agree that the glow effect above is enough to show reaper's mark.

[@BW-CZ]

It's great, because it's visible. I wanna know if I have a goddamn Reaper's Mark on me, and when I play as Malthael, I wanna know every one who has it. Putting it above heads would block view. I like this. It's visible, it's simple, it's actually looking pretty decent.

[@victor97O6]

It should just be a sicle, or a skull, or just the glow, we don't need a big icon in addition to the glow.

[@pokeness686]

You guys are misunderstanding how Last Rites' cdr works. The cooldown is permanently reduced if the target dies *before* Last Rites damages them. As an example, if you cast Last Rites on an enemy hero, and then one of your allies immediately bursts them for a kill, then its cd is reduced. It's reduced if they die before it hits, or in other words, if you use it too late or don't anticipate an ally's damage. I tested this myself.

[@Dennarasnoob]

We need Imperius ! Please :)

[@maldlions5313]

(This is not a joke) I would actually love to see Deckard Cain in HotS.

Q - Identify:Grants a random, temporary buff to an ally W - Horadric Cube:Transmutes 3 Gems into a Better quality Gem (Chipped>Flawed>Normal>Flawless>Perfect), the higher the quality, the greater the effect. E - Socket:Gives an ally a buff based on the gem that lasts until they die(Ruby - bonus attack damage, Amethyst - Bonus armor, Topaz - Bonus attack speed, Sapphire - Basic attacks apply a slow, Perfect Sapphire has a 20% chance to freeze the victim for 1.5 secs instead of slowing it, Emerald - Poison DoT on basic attacks, Diamond - Reduced spell damage, Skull - Lifesteal and Manasteal R - Runes:Heroes may drop Runes which work the same way as gems do with Socket, but each rune has it's own effect for example Jah would ignore 10-15 of the victim's armor and so on, Talent would make rune effects not lost on death. Or Charms - Uses all Gems in possession to craft a random Charm, can be Socketed to an allied hero to give them a buff that gives a variety of effects and buffs and is lost on death, the higher the gem quality, the better the charm effects, Talent - allows crafting of Annihilus(severely boosts stats and spell damage reduction) and Hellfire Torch(severely boosts stats, gives more vision range and gives attacks to trigger Firestorm) charms, but are very rare and cannot be crafted without atleast 5 perfect gems Trait - Gems - Minions may drop a chipped or flawed gem, Heroes will always drop a Flawed to Normal Gem I figured Deckard could be a buff based Hero, considering he always identifies your items in Diablo, so his playstyle wouldn't involve much fighting but instead scrounging and scavenging Gems, Runes or making Charms to insanely upgrade his allies, think of him as Abathur who would actually have to go out into the battlefield to prepare as much resources as he can in order to give his team the buffs they need to outperform the enemy Also i'm aware of the fact that the effects i listed for some of the gems are not like in the diablo game, but elemental damage is just bonus damage, so i figured i'd give gems different effects so they don't feel like a simple vanity preference, and attack rating is essentially just accuracy which is non-present in HotS and would serve no purpose, unless it was implemented as a chance to ignore dodge effects but then its too situational.

He's here now.

[@xXxTheSorrowxXx]

Absolutely loving the design! Good job! Playing him for sure! I would appreciate a male Draenei hero, a male Naga Hero, a female Protoss Hero and of course, the obvious Kel'Thuzad. All of these heroes or gender/hero combinations don't exist in HotS yet. I know that you can make awesome and fun to play, innovative Heroes an abilities. I would also like to see a mountable hero :D

Insta buy

Time for some reaping of souls :D

[@bradleythompson5531]

MinuracOne He lools boring tbh. Cool character to be sure. But his gameplay style is all percentage based DoTs. Basically a really lame auto-attacker. Not fun at all. He is going to struggle to kill anybody before they kill him 1v1. His value will be applying DoTs then rotating out in fights and if your against anyone who can shield, which cancels DoTs, he is useless. Just no impactful abilities.

[@michaelman90]

He is similar to Necrophos in Dota, you don't particularly want to focus him because he doesn't do huge burst damage without his ult and can be deceptively tanky from his heals, but at the same time if you ignore him the damage he deals in a prolonged fight can really stack up. And how is he going to struggle 1v1 when he has what appears to be a super short cd heal from marks? Don't forget that the mark is just his passive, he still does regular auto attack damage on top of that.

[@bradleythompson5531]

michaelman90​ Yeah, but his base AA damage is so low and his heals aren't strong enough to keep him up. The are more for sustain. Making him slightly more useful at staying in lane against another hero.

[@candyman851]

His heal only has a 2 second CD. That means you'll be using it several times in a teamfight, and it makes his dual potential pretty great as well. If you walk into the enemy outnumbered, then yeah, the heals won't save you, but if you play smartly, they should keep you alive, especially if your diligent in marking multiple heroes at the same time. I haven't played Dota 2 enough to know how Necrophos works, but for those who played League, his playstyle reminds me a lot of Vladimir, where he doesn't do that much up front damage, but ignore him in teamfights for too long and he will completely shred entire teams and come out alive due to reasonable self heals.

[@edward113288]

brings new meaning on diablo's quote "Not even death can save you for me".

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

The actual Reaper's Mark icon looks UGLY. It looks like basic Photoshop!

[@georgimihailov9944]

Malthael's in-death detail is great!
