I just want more of anything. This is a great game but development seems glacial. It has to be crushing stuff like D3 in revenue too.

well, that is really disappointing as its just a pure cash grab didn't even mention a buy for gold option.

Not that I can blame them, league is making bank on shit like this, honestly surprised that it took them this long. But its Blizzard so everything takes them forever and a day.

Really also surprised they wouldn't offer a gold option. People are hoarding up gold at this point in many cases and it would be a gold sink. Which should be especially important since people with lots of gold might be less likely to spend real money on expansion card packs or adventures later on.

So who's going to pay $90 to change all their heroes?

Not gonna change them all, but depending on who is the mage one, I might get that since it's the class I play the most. Although I do like Jaina.

I do hope they introduce a Monk and Death Knight hero at some point though.

So what's the fucking point of 500 wins now? Golden warrior looks cool but this dude smashes his hero power with a fucking hammer.

Really, the 500 win portraits actually take some work at the game so they should carry more weight. But they will look like ass compared to the new ones.

So far all those times I've insisted that Inner Fire.deck is not a viable deck to ladder with, Veev is absolutely proving me wrong.

And it gets an animated entrance to the game like a legendary card????

New Heroes also come with unique emotes and voices that convey their individual personalities, a play area featuring a custom visual theme, and nifty "entering the game" animations so you can greet (or intimidate) your next opponent in style.
What do they mean "a play area featuring a custom visual theme" like it changes the board too?

Actually, make it so 1000 wins unlocks the second gold portrait for free, muhahahaha.

Yea I have 0 interest in this if it's cash only. The fact its gold from the start is weak as shit too. Basically invalidates having a Golden Portrait. Anyone can buy a gold hero now, lame.

And the true nickle and diming begins..

Instead of making the game better like a tournament mode, they give us this shit.

I think its a given that we will see DK and Monk as part of a paid expansion at some point in the future. Personally I am hoping the DK hero power is that it forces the opponent straight to rope on his next turn. I would never play any other class, ever, no matter how shit DK might be in the meta. The tears would be too delicious.
For new card backs etc? My care meter is zero.

Maybe it will be a complete flop and they will have to confront that no one wants to pay for this shit.

Who am I kidding there will be tens of thousands of worldwide morons buying them day one.

Yep, cosmetic bullshit sucks. No doubt they will make bank, but I prefer substance over style.

My favorite games are mostly 10+ years old. This industry (at least the larger devs) has gone to shit because everything needs to be appealing to the mouth-breathing masses. Fucking slap some shiny marketing on Total War Rome 2 and charge $70 for the piece of shit when the original Total War Rome still kicks its ass.

/Rant over. Incoming HS story:

On another note, just drafted a Mage Arena deck. Very first game I beat a Shaman with Feral Spirit, Lava Burst, Shade of Naxx, Emporer, and Alexstrasza. That is 2 good rares, a good epic, and 2 good legendaries in one fucking arena draft. And I only saw something like 10 of his cards. WTF... seriously.
