I think it's an okay ability. It's good for damaging a large group of enemy heroes and/or minions. Or you could use it to cut off a heroes path if they're running from you. I dunno, but overall, I think it's pretty cool.
I love how everyone playing Overwatch acts as though she said it first in Blizzard I would like to point this to you Malik the Unscathed : Mantid in Pandaria had said Heroes never die. this happened back in the first year of MoP. Promptly before flying into a huge fight and getting brutally destroyed though (spoilers I guess...)
"crystal aegis is great if you have an ally who often finds themselves over-extended and unable to make good decisions" Dread, I think I can finally keep you alive now.
Would u be able to aegis crystal an unstoppable ally? Cos if so the furnace blast butchers with the savage charge, and the leorics with MotBK will be raging
i wonder if it interupts allied channel abilities. Imagine casting it on illidan just as he's going to charge across the map or anub before he can charge an enemy player.
Mephisto is the cooler and more interesting character of the Prime Evils...(its the smartest, the oldest and the leader of the prime evils) I guess he will come no doubt. Its a shame, but diablo its the most boring of the 3.. xD
It's possible only Auriel will be able to see the "Resurrection" ghosts as they're only really there to give her a target for the cast (because the character's actual corpse may end up getting blasted off the map like Team Rocket) and even with Leoric it'll be where he died, but his proper ghost self can still go around doing Leoric ghost things.
An ideal support for me - no mana, meaning no backing for replenishment, and combar ressurections! :D Just worried about her healing output as she has only one ability able to heal and without something like Uther's Benediction or Hardened Focus, it's going to be a big problem to overheal one target. Let's see how it will work once she comes out :P
Mother of HOPE, are you F-AURIEL blizzard, you LIGHT to me. HEAVEN't we talked about this blizzard... i HOPE you ain't stealing more money from me with these amazing heroes, because i'm falling into DESPAIR. Atleast I tried. :P
Given that these are supposed to be advertisements and explanations of heroes that people won't have already experienced, it seems redundant to do ones for people who are already in the game and people have already worked to death.
Penningtontj Well.... It would be nice for people like me who are either new or just bad at the game. Getting an easy tutorial on how to play the various characters.
In that case may i recommend the youtuber MFpallytime... He is very educational in his videos... he explains what all the skills does everytime he plays a hero he talks about tactics, builds, positioning... you should check him out he basically taught me how to play hots ^^ He also had a series where he played all the heroes from a to z explaining how to play them and how he likes to build them... though that series may be a little outdated now but so are some of the old spotlights :)
Though i love the newest additions of heroes, i have to admit that i'm longing for new levels even more. Especialy since Haunted Mines was removed from the Quick Matches and Ranked/Unranked Matches.
It makes sense now. they buffed Artanis because "He's a chill guy and asked us, so we did" 2SC based maps are being announced soon....they are bringing in the Protoss. I think Fenix is coming.... O.O....And Auriel is gonna wreck with him!
+KeViNZP Fenix, Alarak, Karax all know him. Art got a decent buff and hasn't been nerfed. the developer notes aren't exactly explaining why. somethings off and there's a huge request for Alarak and Fenix. it's gotta be one of them for sure. the question is who else?
Trait: Years of knowledge - Having lived long and after years of reading books Cain periodically gets exp. however since he's old he alos moves slower. Q: Stay a while and listen - AoE sleep.W: Books Everywhere - Throw a barrage of books at your enemy.E: Silencing Chant - Chants a spell that silences one enemy.R: Rune of Teleportation - Cain sets up a rune at a location which will teleport him and any ally to another rune he has setup. Max 2 runes at a time.R: Horadric Morale - Inspires nearby allies, slightly increasing their dmg dealt and reduces dmg taken.
Well that probs wont happen cos mercy had the heal from her gun as a beam, and she's probs gonna be a character. If she will join as a skin, it probs would be for morales, but it would be a huge waste
jacob chadwick No, she will never be a character. And you know if you just add her as an Aurial skin it works : wings, resurrect... and for the rest it's the Aurial stuff it's not really a problem.
I like the way she looks. Seems like she can fill both roles as main healer or off healer utility. As a support main myself, I'm truly impressed with this blizzard.
Except for the 1 damage per hour your team will deal because the only thing the enemy will have to focus is the damage to win. Sure you can keep an assassin in the fight for longer but they will either be unable to attack from running or from rezzing twice almost simultaneously.
You probably just revive Leoric's existing spirit. Why make the two mechanics conflict like that when it'd be a lot cleaner just to have them work off the same spirit. (Less cluttered battlefield too)
How...exactly are you offended ? ^^ This is the same as Sewer Workers saying they are offended that in media sewer workers are mostly male. Perhaps not absolute, but....such public images for such jobs are merely representative of real life proportions ^^
Actually Auriel only ties the series, bringing female Support Heroes up to 5 (where men have been for quite awhile) - and if you count uncle Medivh as the Support he actually is...
Okay we got ourselves Auriel (I've actually have been looking forward to see what will she have) and she is pretty amazing though I see that she may have some problems here an there considering that ifthe teammates wont do any attack then it would be hard to bring her "magic" back up after all as I see she has no dps spells........ though I still feel that LT.Morales is still much more of a healler when it comes to support the tank..... BUT there is 1 skill that I've been looking forward to see in one of the champions and thats the ressurection and the Angel of Hope was the perfect choice to bring back the fallen heroes to life not too op considering that it kinda needs time (though I haven't seen the cooldown) so yeah she looks amazing!
Well if her ressurection spell would have another charge then I'd probably say that it would be a little bit op but still she seems like a good one.... though I'd want to say that Kerrigan while she is a strong assassin can easily be beaten by anyone else like Thrall after all he has been op since he came out and while I didn't readt the patch notes I can still see that he has been nerfed and probably reworked like Arthas I'd still say that with him and with the special build for him he can do a more massive damage to the enemy than anyone....
When someone asked "who should be next", i suggested deckard cain. and i suggested that he would have an ultimate that would be like some hidden sorcery that revives allies. it's better auriel's way, but the haters at that time can SMD now.
Think I figured this out: she'll be something like Tyrande only more defensive and perhaps more reliable because of that factor, they're BOTH designed to be paired with an assassin for better effect (disregarding the stunlock paired wtih ETC, Mura, or Diablo here though, just focusing on her trait lol :P) Only that Tyrande's (probably) better paired with a burst assassin, and Auriel will be paired better with a sustain dps one to gain more reserves of "Bestowe Hope". IMO she'll be very good paired with Raynor or Hammer for example :)
[Allies] Ariel: Have courage, there is always hope (casting revive on Sylvanas)
[Allies] Sylvanas clapping: oh great... An angel.
Would be nice if revive on Sylvanas gave her original from, using the green skin.
+David D.W. Maybe a Corrupted Valkyr will appear above her?
and arthas just standing there rofling
Sylvanas is like...I see a val'kyr unbend to my will ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
1. Ressurect Murky
2. ???
3. Profit
1. Ressurect Cho'Gall
2. ???
3. Profit
Ressurect leoric after 10 seconds so his spirit has already wandered off. Watch him cry and be confused why he was back at his death point. Profit.
1. Drinking water
2. See this comment
3. ???
4. Profit
technically 2 heroes... serious op-ness if that happends, new meta?
That's a good question... Cho'gall is always a problem xD
Hots devs don't get enough praise. They do an incredible job!
Well at least this healer won't go OOM. Looking at you, Uther.
Morales is fitting better here xD
Uther is oom only in the early game, then he is ok, if you went for hammer or pursuit.
Yeah if your team's Uther goes oom after like level 5, just bang your head on a nearby wall in frustration.
OOE
yeah, you're just not good at mana management son
Who needs mercy when you have auriel?
incoming mercy skin for auriel
would be funny if it's her release skin
It's not, it's going to be Demonic Auriel. It was shown off a month or two ago.
Incomming Auriel skin for Mercy?
heroes have more than just 1 skin you know
All Hope is lost for my wallet...
at least you have a big one damnit :P
Hahaha
Good one
hi Kedric
Amen.
3:52 dat movement speed, Thrall rage mode is on: Lok'tar Ogar!!!
Resurrect + Stim drone + Bloodlust = Thrall God Mode!
I don't think tripple support wil be a viable team comp any time soon though
so Resurrect + Stim drone + Bloodlust on level 20 ilidan better than god.
or Greymane?
I wonder what happens if ressurected ally gets mindcontrolled right away... lol.
"Foes channeling powerful abilities"
nice try, but rain of destruction is still awful
i knew this comment would exist as soon as he said that lol
Not even
*Rain of Random Destruction* see that 5% HP thrall well right next to him, is a globe, yeah lets rain all on that globe
Pretty sure it was just an example of a channeled ability, not necessarily a good one. ETC's Mosh would have been a more impactful example, I feel.
I think it's an okay ability. It's good for damaging a large group of enemy heroes and/or minions. Or you could use it to cut off a heroes path if they're running from you. I dunno, but overall, I think it's pretty cool.
HEROES NEVER DI...
oh, wrong game.
Mercy better not ending up as her skin D:
From the teaser I had no doubt she would have a mercy skin but i was mistaken
I love how everyone playing Overwatch acts as though she said it first in Blizzard I would like to point this to you Malik the Unscathed : Mantid in Pandaria had said Heroes never die. this happened back in the first year of MoP. Promptly before flying into a huge fight and getting brutally destroyed though (spoilers I guess...)
Philip McDonald we acknowledge that, but op quotes heroes never die in the context of teammate revival, which is relevant in overwatch but not wow.
I think Auriel and Mercy could be good friends
Ima ruin it
is good to see more supports in the game , we really need them .
Why cant i have more of these type of people in my games
Pro tip: Cast Resurrect on Murky for the most value.
Lmao I think murky has a short self res time than her res on the body xD
And we get 2 Murky from 1. Solid business.
"...especially if they're channeling dangerous abilities"
*shows her interrupting Rain of Destruction*
I chuckled.
"resurrects" HEROES NEVER DIE!!!!
But will we have Disco Medivh?!
DAAAANCING IS FUUN
You will for One Night in Karazhan.
Will we have xel'naga Kerrigan?! That is the question for me.
Amazing job blizzard. What an incredibly well designed and thought out character. The design choices on her are perfect
LOL at Xul 4:14 - "No big deal, I'll just stand here and--" *BOOM*
*ragdoll*
"Heroes Never Die!" - Auriel, 2016
"crystal aegis is great if you have an ally who often finds themselves over-extended and unable to make good decisions" Dread, I think I can finally keep you alive now.
Heroes Never Die!
love the mechanics. she's gonna be really cool to see in the pro scene.
This comment aged badly.
Oh god, that Aegis Crystal trolling potential. I mean, in a team setting it looks awesome, I just pray no one takes it in solo queue.
Would u be able to aegis crystal an unstoppable ally? Cos if so the furnace blast butchers with the savage charge, and the leorics with MotBK will be raging
imagine not stoping them with this ult. they would basicly be a second tyrael lol
i wonder if it interupts allied channel abilities. Imagine casting it on illidan just as he's going to charge across the map or anub before he can charge an enemy player.
it interrupts leorics walk
1:47 Eric slowly dying is hilarious
There is always hope, heroes will come back 😢
Now bring Imperious and Baal... xD
what about mephisto?
Imperius, Itherael, Malthael, Baal, Mephisto, Cain, Leah, Adria, Lilith.
Malthiel
Mephisto is the cooler and more interesting character of the Prime Evils...(its the smartest, the oldest and the leader of the prime evils) I guess he will come no doubt.
Its a shame, but diablo its the most boring of the 3.. xD
Imperius, Malthael and Mephisto, Baal!!!
! Thanks! Haven't played for ages but this hero really makes me want to get back to it! Great addition, good job!
Finally not Arthas gets murdered again and again... :D
well, they just finish his statue...
Personally I don't really like this development in the trailers, it is so calming watching the lich king fly like it's nobody's business
yeah, and Arthas loses this only job now :(
I do not think so, on my matches he is often a choice of the enemy.
these videos are definitely getting better
Awesome design one more time. Keep up the great work, guys!
3:32 "Especially if they are channelling powerful abilities" Sorry but Guldan's rain isn't a powerful ability
OP. I've seen stuff dude.
PHATERTL When used against crowds... Omg ... the chaos... for defense is so underrated
I once RNGd in the middle of infernal shrine. Got a tripple. They looked as if they were actually trying to get all the meteors.
***** and now it has a niiiice sinergy with Auriel's trait. (I'VE MADE THE NUMBERS DUUUUUDE)
200 % MOVEMENT SPEED LOL!
Legit the same as Sylvanas Mind Control at 20 lol
GOTTA GO FAST
"...can stop powerful chanelling abilities."
shows Rain of rng...
2/10
it has a hgiher winrante than horrify in the stats. so might want to reconsider
tenjek cool, and with all that damage will have a nice synergy (*) with Auriel's trait
Haha kind of funny resurrecting an undead character like Sylvanas.
I'd laugh if Auriel commented on this.
''Rise to fight again!.....Wait a minute....''
that would be a good easter egg
Man, the narrator for these spotlights is great.
this makes me wonder if all the angels will be comeing into the nexes.
Thank you so much for adding such a interesting and complex support character. I look forward to seeing what she can do.
Awesome play style! Looks great
i love these non-standard resource characters, keep it up!
How will her resurrection interact with "dead" Leoric?
he'll rez instantly? i imagine he'll just float around with his death timer around his head opposed to just standing still from where he last died
it might be a perfect synergy on where his ghost is located at the time.
It's possible only Auriel will be able to see the "Resurrection" ghosts as they're only really there to give her a target for the cast (because the character's actual corpse may end up getting blasted off the map like Team Rocket) and even with Leoric it'll be where he died, but his proper ghost self can still go around doing Leoric ghost things.
taas maar khan
its the same with mercy in overwatch
heroes never die!
An ideal support for me - no mana, meaning no backing for replenishment, and combar ressurections! :D Just worried about her healing output as she has only one ability able to heal and without something like Uther's Benediction or Hardened Focus, it's going to be a big problem to overheal one target.
Let's see how it will work once she comes out :P
since she bestows hope upon others...she is very much needed before the end of 2020 comes...
WELLP so much for mercy being a character in this game!
She would kinda be Morales, with Auriel ult.
Auriel Mercy Skin...calling it now.
I WHIP MY CORD BACK AND FORTH
I WHIP MY CORD BACK AND FORTH
I've gotta say, that's a clever way to have a resurrection skill in a MOBA.
finally a cool hero with unique abilities again.
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment!"
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
HEROES NEVER DIE
nova do
spoilers?
that's awesome but
Where's my homie Covetous Shen
Mother of HOPE, are you F-AURIEL blizzard, you LIGHT to me. HEAVEN't we talked about this blizzard... i HOPE you ain't stealing more money from me with these amazing heroes, because i'm falling into DESPAIR.
Atleast I tried. :P
I'M DONE xD
Sounds like the kinda puns I'd make :D
I commend u on that.
I comment you on that.
go get yourself ice cream...you earned it
you get a thumbs up from me :P
Now this is the support I wanted!
Auriel + Gul'dan = infinite lane sustain
Oooh, that demonic skin at the end...super cool
When will you do these spotlights for the older heroes. Like Raynor, Tyriel and Tuchus?
They probably wont
Given that these are supposed to be advertisements and explanations of heroes that people won't have already experienced, it seems redundant to do ones for people who are already in the game and people have already worked to death.
Penningtontj Well.... It would be nice for people like me who are either new or just bad at the game. Getting an easy tutorial on how to play the various characters.
In that case may i recommend the youtuber MFpallytime... He is very educational in his videos... he explains what all the skills does everytime he plays a hero he talks about tactics, builds, positioning... you should check him out he basically taught me how to play hots ^^
He also had a series where he played all the heroes from a to z explaining how to play them and how he likes to build them... though that series may be a little outdated now but so are some of the old spotlights :)
Tuchus new hero!
havent been this excited for a character since dehaka
A manaless support? lets see how long this last...
Though i love the newest additions of heroes, i have to admit that i'm longing for new levels even more. Especialy since Haunted Mines was removed from the Quick Matches and Ranked/Unranked Matches.
HEROES NEVER DIE!!!!!!
It makes sense now. they buffed Artanis because "He's a chill guy and asked us, so we did"
2SC based maps are being announced soon....they are bringing in the Protoss. I think Fenix is coming.... O.O....And Auriel is gonna wreck with him!
Niadra plz, I must become the quilgor xD
oh my god I hope that's true, it's been a while since they did a starcraft hero.
+The Sexual Tyrannosaurus Aside from Dehaka, but who knows him, right?
+KeViNZP Fenix, Alarak, Karax all know him. Art got a decent buff and hasn't been nerfed. the developer notes aren't exactly explaining why. somethings off and there's a huge request for Alarak and Fenix. it's gotta be one of them for sure. the question is who else?
Bring Deckard Cain with the Q ability to bore everybody within an AoE to sleep and then allow other heroes to finish them off.
Dat Carbot wanderful idea
Stay a while and listen
Trait: Years of knowledge - Having lived long and after years of reading books Cain periodically gets exp. however since he's old he alos moves slower.
Q: Stay a while and listen - AoE sleep.W: Books Everywhere - Throw a barrage of books at your enemy.E: Silencing Chant - Chants a spell that silences one enemy.R: Rune of Teleportation - Cain sets up a rune at a location which will teleport him and any ally to another rune he has setup. Max 2 runes at a time.R: Horadric Morale - Inspires nearby allies, slightly increasing their dmg dealt and reduces dmg taken.
there you go champ
Lol yoi guys har some nice predictions nos de are getting him
She's awesome! Haven't been so excited since I first saw Artanis.
Waiting for the Mercy skin :D
Well that probs wont happen cos mercy had the heal from her gun as a beam, and she's probs gonna be a character. If she will join as a skin, it probs would be for morales, but it would be a huge waste
jacob chadwick
No, she will never be a character.
And you know if you just add her as an Aurial skin it works : wings, resurrect... and for the rest it's the Aurial stuff it's not really a problem.
Well...her ult has been taken by Auriel so idk what will replace Mercy's "R" when she does get released as a hero...
Her ult is an AoE resurrect though, and in OW you have a much shorter window to rez.
Might actually have her rez be a combat based rez.
I like the way she looks. Seems like she can fill both roles as main healer or off healer utility. As a support main myself, I'm truly impressed with this blizzard.
Auriel + Kharazim + Rehgar = immortal
Except for the 1 damage per hour your team will deal because the only thing the enemy will have to focus is the damage to win. Sure you can keep an assassin in the fight for longer but they will either be unable to attack from running or from rezzing twice almost simultaneously.
She seems AMAZING
Heroes never die......... Heh
"specially if they are channeling powerful abilities"
>powerful abilities
>powerful
How does Ressurect work with Leoric?
he said there will be a spirit at where the hero died. so a sprit stays where leoric dies and other travels.
Lazy Coding
I guess that makes sense, but it seems weird.
You probably just revive Leoric's existing spirit. Why make the two mechanics conflict like that when it'd be a lot cleaner just to have them work off the same spirit. (Less cluttered battlefield too)
Alex Marcy
the ressurectable spirits will only be seen by auirel(and only when talented that skill) like butcher's meat.
Im betting blizz doesnt want you to cheese by running to the backlines to safely rez Leo. He probably drops a spirit where he dies like everyone else.
one of the best support imo
Is she tanky or squishy?
"squishy" i thing, she's a healer)
Take this as a reference, she has more health than Rexxar or Misha but slightly less than Xul.
She's got decent hp for a healer, but lets see how it fares considering how aggressive she has to be.
Looks like a super fun support! :D about time we got a another Archangel :)
2:15 lissandra ult. LOL
But it works on allies not enemies
LOL
Winter Wyvern was first sry
wow great kit on her!
as a woman and a nurse, I am highly offended that most healers or support characters are women.
there is male supports here too
How...exactly are you offended ? ^^ This is the same as Sewer Workers saying they are offended that in media sewer workers are mostly male. Perhaps not absolute, but....such public images for such jobs are merely representative of real life proportions ^^
Literally half of the supports in this game are females. Out of the 10 supports, 5 are male.
How saving life function is offensive?
Actually Auriel only ties the series, bringing female Support Heroes up to 5 (where men have been for quite awhile) - and if you count uncle Medivh as the Support he actually is...
I can't wait to play her
Ohh heck yeah!!!! She seems awesome
Okay we got ourselves Auriel (I've actually have been looking forward to see what will she have) and she is pretty amazing though I see that she may have some problems here an there considering that ifthe teammates wont do any attack then it would be hard to bring her "magic" back up after all as I see she has no dps spells........ though I still feel that LT.Morales is still much more of a healler when it comes to support the tank..... BUT there is 1 skill that I've been looking forward to see in one of the champions and thats the ressurection and the Angel of Hope was the perfect choice to bring back the fallen heroes to life not too op considering that it kinda needs time (though I haven't seen the cooldown) so yeah she looks amazing!
All I can think of is how insane she would be in double healer melee comps. Looks like Kerrigan is gonna be in the meta for a looooot longer :(
Well if her ressurection spell would have another charge then I'd probably say that it would be a little bit op but still she seems like a good one.... though I'd want to say that Kerrigan while she is a strong assassin can easily be beaten by anyone else like Thrall after all he has been op since he came out and while I didn't readt the patch notes I can still see that he has been nerfed and probably reworked like Arthas I'd still say that with him and with the special build for him he can do a more massive damage to the enemy than anyone....
She is isnt so crazy after lthe last patch
Mercy and Auriel main here! I love them, please make a Mercy skin for Auriel and the other way around, that'd be awesome! ^^
Heroes never die, heroes never die everywhere.
"Interrupt powerful channelling abilities", shows gul'dan casting rain.
GJ Blizard! Looks great! :)
A support that I would actually play.
Now for them to put Etherio in there. His fighting style in the Wrath cartoon was epic! Also, put Imperious in there for good measure.
3:50 Adding 200% means you're tripling their move speed, not doubling it.
That bothered me more than it should.
So awesome. Such a great character for dedicated healer players
0:35 "... to become PARAGONS of virtue..."
Shameless d3 reference I like it.
WOW I LOVE HER KIT
This looks like a next level support!
So glad to have a new support after so long. I am actually going to buy this hero. First purchase ever in hots. Hope its worth it.
When someone asked "who should be next", i suggested deckard cain. and i suggested that he would have an ultimate that would be like some hidden sorcery that revives allies. it's better auriel's way, but the haters at that time can SMD now.
Seems like she'll be my main when it comes to support. Disengage, zero mana worries, AoE heal, and the ability to Resurrect allies.
Looks pretty interesting :)
Thanks for the post guys!
best support yet
Can't wait to play her! :D
4.15 "It was at this moment Xul knew he fked up"
Must admit from what I saw she looks way more viable than I originally tended to think when read the kit :P
At 3:42 she ressed Li Ming and she fought for the other team instead lol
It looked like that because Kerrigan was right next to Auriel, but I thought the same thing at first lmao.
Think I figured this out: she'll be something like Tyrande only more defensive and perhaps more reliable because of that factor, they're BOTH designed to be paired with an assassin for better effect (disregarding the stunlock paired wtih ETC, Mura, or Diablo here though, just focusing on her trait lol :P)
Only that Tyrande's (probably) better paired with a burst assassin, and Auriel will be paired better with a sustain dps one to gain more reserves of "Bestowe Hope". IMO she'll be very good paired with Raynor or Hammer for example :)
Tychus too. Watched a PTR where the Auriel player Bestow'ed on Tychus. Energy regen was fast.
I can already see the Mercy skin coming for this.
watching resurrect, my reaction is like : "Mercy skin confirmed"
HEROES NEVER DIE!
