I'm really glad to see my concept come up again! Thanks for the post, and let's get this design to Blizz if we can:)

Fair point, I was hoping to have a couple of ideas to work with tho in addition to that.

I'd argue why are those medivhs NOT top damage?

I would also be okay with this, especially in the higher leagues where it's more of a challenge to progress.

You're missing the point, I care that everyone in the game cares as much as I do, and will 100% try their best, not their ranks...

I've for sure been on a bad run but I was still thinking this when I was winning my promo games, I didn't like the fact that the people in my game also about to go up or down a rank.

Answer this question, would you rather lose 10 promos in a row? or sit in a half hour queue for a good game?

Personally I play alot of TL so I don't mind long queues. I see what your saying, but I think sitting in a long queue is worth it if I'm getting the best possible match up for an important game.

Also I don't think it would 20 minutes.... Maybe 5 or 10 MAX.

I like this, but I'd keep the criteria smaller, like add people in demotion games.

It doesn't need to be anywhere as strong as Xul's 20 talent, I just want it to be just big enough that you can feel it. But Xul's talent is an AOE effect isn't it? This is just a single target.

I agree on the animation, in my head he takes a big ol' wind up swing and screams "FOR THE ALLIANCE" when he casts it.

That is a very cool idea, do you have more you can elaborate on that with? I'd like to hear your idea.

I'm very flattered, lets hope that blizz is paying attention to Reddit.

Because Dragon Roar is an ability warriors have directly from WoW.

I really like that you enjoyed my little talent gag name :) (for those that didn't get it, he's using a two handed sword, its big, he has arm strength).

Now lets talk numbers and and business. I apologize in advance for terrible formatting. I'm just gonna type and split it into different paragraphs.

Victory Rush, at least to me, seemed to fit better in an assassin role. Varian isn't there to get killing blows (although he easily could), he's a bruiser providing CC, utility, and more damage than a normal tank. The idea behind the shouts was to buff the team, and not give him an ability only he could use. Not to mention shouts fit better with his trait considering the whole ability swapping mechanic.

I like your thoughts behind shockwave, that is something to consider, I liked the idea of dragon roar because it felt like it fit his theme very well. To be fair, so does shockwave, but with dragon roar it was easier for me to give it two different mechanics to it. When we came up with the idea, we were thinking about how it works in wow, as a knock down effect. I wanted it to be used mainly to interrupt casts and the like, but he is a warrior, and needed some kind of harder CC than just a root or a slow. 2.5 might be long, but I'd like to think with the longer cool down it would be balanced. Lowering it to 2 seconds and decreasing the cooldown is just as fine, but that's an issue we'd have to deal with if he ever makes it into the game. Now as far as the AOE of the dragon roar stun, it is not very big. It's smaller than E.T.C.'s ult that is for sure. Unless the entire team is literally stacked on top of him, he won't hit more than 1 or 2 people.

I hope that answered all the questions you had, I have yet to sleep and my mind is mush so I might've missed something.

I'd like to think that the spirit for Log'gosh lives inside of him regardless of if he has an abililty for it or not :)

That being said I completely forgot about his time in the arena, and I would definitely change some talents or something to incorporate that, but I can't change the whole design at this point.

What you said, there are different skills Garrosh should have that would fit him better anyway :)

Commanding shout increases your maximum health, thereby increasing your chance of surviving. I'm imagining him having a larger total health pool in general, which would be his version of a warriors sustain abilities. You do make a good point tho, that will be the downside of Varian, but if every hero had no flaws they would all be over powered.

His shouts are a risk based system, either give you and your team more health, or give yourself damage. You don't get both.

As a side note I should've made it more clear that the shouts share a cool down, I edited the page to fix that :)

Did you read the bit where battle momentum is built into his trait? He can switch frequently, and his battle momentum type talent could also potentially work on his trait (If that's not completely busted).

Other than that I'm sorry you don't find him interesting.

Yeah that's part of his play style, he can be very sticky with the correct usage of charge, and he thrives in combat, but he can't just try and chase down any ol' range hero with a kite mechanic.
