The fire lord is soooooooooooooooo rigged.

I have 2 things to say:

1. Blizzard has done a gj making those neutral heroes
2. I think theres enough neutral Tavern heroes already; we don't want hero wars in melee games.

Hehe, sopho's right!
If this keeps going like this, b.nets games will start to mass up! It will start looking like some hero areana!

It wont make it looks any different at all, because they are not increasing the max ammount of heroes a player can choose. They are just adding more variety to add more strategy to the game, so people just wont say POTM - archers - hippos. Now people are going to deversify their strategies to adjust to the different heroes. I actaully think one new racial hero for each race would be good.

By the looks of it, in patch 1.18 and 1.19 they'll be Water, Wind and Earth Heroes taking up 3 of the 4 remaining spaces... what special surprise is going to be the last though (knowing blizzard something original and funny)?
#7
True but this is getting out of hand. The tavern eventually will be filled with neutral heroes. I liked the way things were before these 2 neutral heroes (except tinker)
I personally think Blizzard should stop creating these neutral heroes.

Next would be more race hero Go Blood Elf Ranger Go!

VexorianNext would be more race hero Go Blood Elf Ranger Go!

That's hard to believe. The elves are in the Alliance so why make it a neutral hero?

Naturel heroes are cool and helpful in custom maps, but in melee games there wierd

Ever realise how flawed the tavern concept is...
I mean y would the Pitlord, an agent of the Legion ever ally with any of the four races? Why would the Dark Ranger (whom hates the Scourge) ally with the Scourge? Why would the Naga Sea Witch ally with the Scourge, i mean after all, at the head of tft it was Scourge vs. Naga\Blood Elves! Not many of the Heroes are actually neutral! Okay so the Brewmaster and the Goblins are pretty neutral, and the Beastmaster sure, but would any of them actually ally with the Scourge? I mean doesn't everyone hate the scourge (the alliance, the horde, the sentinels, the legion, the forsaken, the naga\elves etc. THE LIST GOES ON!) Some of the heroes really aren't neutral and wouldn't at any cost work for certain races (and certain races would never hire).The tavern really isn't to hire Neutral Heroes (cause you've got to admit that some of the heroes hold some sort of alliance to other races - Beastmaster and Goblins = Horde), but heroes which don't directly fit into the main 4 races, and have hatreds for some (scourge) and slight bonds with others.

That might be because its a melee game, not the campaign. If it was campaign, Humans, Orcs and NE would be allies.

damn, don't be such a sterotypes, not every pitlords hates this planet. the dreadlords, pitlords, and basicly every races that appears demonic came from different worlds. read some of the story if you haven't already. dreadlords, pitlords are united with the burning legion, but both are different races coming from different worlds. not everyone must be a comformist and naturally be an ally of the burning legion. pitlords champions were elected to be a part of the legion, but not the whole planet inhabited by pit lords are agents.

also, you harshly stereotyped the dark rangers, sylvannas was only one of them. sylvanass got pwned by arthas, if you turn into a dark ranger, you may like it, but since sylvannas was a person with a great rank, she would've liked to die in honor against a fight, and not serve the undead. but some may find it fine to fight the mortals. it's not philosophy, it's warcraft.

anyway, they act like rougues, mercenaries. they don't have discipline, or something to fight for but money. they're greedy, and lust have invaded their spirits. a tinker fighting along waves of death could be a bit unrealistic but possible. LotR: Battle for middleearth features emotions, where units can be afraid. you don't just cast a spell that reduces -50% attack speed. their "fear" in this game causes the unit to go backwards, and when they strike, they do strike with fear. sounds and acting follows it. but if the soldiers are perseverent against invader of their lands, they will strike with angst and with each strikes launched souls of the harmless villagers reflects throught the blade.


back to topic, everyone already knewn the existance of the two heroes, no needs to make a thread about it announcing the arrival of them, we can know this by going on www.battle.net or connecting to battle.net itself! anyway i find the flame lord interesting, he features some blood mage animation, he's rather dynamic.

also i doubt arrival of water, earth or storm furthermore, otherwise you can say hello to unoriginality. blizzard always had amazing ideas.

the elements can be summoned. something made them be that way, in the story. every elements can be summoned, before they were everywhere, roaming the earth like ants.

I suppose there is a pint to what you said. The only thing I can think of about this is that these were before the campaign. Otherwise Blizzard SHOULD have an answer.
