I remember joking with friends about him coming in the game when it first launched, saying stuff like “his heroic will be reading you a story to make you fall asleep indefinitely”, so this is great to see.
Diablo 3's not getting much content because the team is focusing on the next installment which is going to be so epic my pants are going to be blown off from the sheer awesomeness
how do you know its not ? i mean could just be a delayed release for the spotlight i really hope it is a legit hero but it seems a bit too silly with the names of the spells even for blizz but i do hope this is a real hero release
Around when they announced Diablo 3 they released footage of Deckard Cain as a playable character with a bunch of unique spells and attacks. That actually was an april fool's joke though.
My husband: "They made Deckard Cain a playable character" Me: So does he bore people to death? My husband: "actually, he does." Cut to the Lorenado Me: "Go, Home Blizzard. You're drunk"
i still hope we get a master skin for him in a wheelchair edit: i liked carbots version more. the level20 talent to throw down a meteor when dying was an awesome idea :D
Not what i would call a "prediction". Stay awhile and listen is a very iconic catchphrase that it would be difficult if blizz DIDN'T use it. Same with horadric cube.
Actually it was said at Pax East 2012 that he was one of the Heroes they would like to put in the game one day, while the game was still in Alpha access. Just before they launched the beta testing phase. So Blizzard beat that carbot guy to the punch by 5 years...
I love how this starbtle guy responds to every comment (with a copy pasted comment) that involves carbot just to tell them this, we don't care... Carbot is awesome, I am assuming he made the video he made without the knowledge from Pax East, so its cool that he was able to predict it, and either way 2 of the abilities that he said he thought would be cool have the same name and placement in the ability bar as the release Cain so thats really cool, stop trying to bum people out man and just let them enjoy that carbot did a vid on this before it came out.
I thought April Fools was a few days ago? But seriously, super hyped to see DC as a healer! The sound work are fantastic (Potions! Portals! Voicework!), and his kit looks like a lot of fun.
Leeroy Jenkins, the remaining members of the E.T.C. band and that Tauren, whose name I can't remember, that everyone would kill every time they went to the inn in Ogrimmar.
Oh boy, we got us a Blizz apologizer! Don't worry, I'll play along and pretend the problem is my top tier verizon fios service...even though it's only HOTS...ever >_>
Hold on...sorry, have to unplug my ethernet cable from my desktop to be able to agree with you...ok, now I can say yes, it was me, definitely not Saint Blizz o_o
This is the most unique hero I've seen so far! Granted I don't know all the characters in every MOBA but I feel like I've never seen a character in any of them who literally fights with the power of knowledge, artifacts, and story-telling. :-) Absolutely love it!
Do you honestly think that Blizzard, as competent as they are, could design, sketch, model, render, animate and develop the gameplay of a character for...an april fool joke ? ^^
I sat next to one of the lead developers for HOTS at last years Blizzcon during the championship games. After talking to him for awhile about the game he asked "So, what's a new hero that you would like to see come out next." My buddy and I both said Deckard Cain given our love for Diablo and thinking it would be funny to see. He gave a look of shock that we told him that hero which made me think it really wasn't in their plan for new heroes but here we are. Anyways, to the developer that I talked to last year at Blizzcon if you are out there reading this, Thanks.
Now This it could be they planned it and did not know ppl actually want him in game also the question could been an opinion question weather they made one or not
I dont' know how they'd be shocked seeing that Blizzard has a solid D2 fan base. And obviously we want Deckard Cain. And others from Diablo 2..................................... Not Diablo 3 3 3 3 3 3....
The level 13 talent Ancient blessing is insane, Did bliizard forget tracer who shoots 8 bullets per second ? It's 1k damage and 1.6k healing PER SECOND. Plus there are other fast shooting heros like fenix and tygus.
Aww. :D With Tracer and assuming level 20 values I could have seen it, being how she would have to stay in a small area and give up mobility. But yeah.
Specialists are much more difficult to make than Assassins and Warriors, and a bit more difficult than Supports. We'll get new Specialists eventually, but we've gotta be more patient with them. As for multi-class...I dunno.
All the current specialists need a significant rework after the tower changes. That or remove the classification give up ans make hammer an assassin already.
They've been joking and teasing about it for years. I'm kind of excited to play him, although his Ultimately are kind of disappointing, but maybe there better than I think. Either way, I really love his basics, he looks fun to play. Hopefully people won't ignore my potions, like they do Alexstraza's healing circle >.>
Yeah, at lv20, when the game is basically over anyway. Until then, the sleep is mostly pointless, except for when your team is being chased. It might be good if you have an amazing team that understands how you can set them up with that, but 95% of the time people are going to break the sleep status before the rest of your team is in position.
Oh, absolutely they will, everyone is gonna throw out dmg willy nilly, but, i think the best use of it is just catching as many enemies inside the sleep as possible, and then continue to focus those that are already being chased - hopefully it will turn the fight in your favour.
For years nobody listened him. Now he came back for revenge. I guess it is time we stay a while and listen
@@Mensmoocher change the setting?
I remember joking with friends about him coming in the game when it first launched, saying stuff like “his heroic will be reading you a story to make you fall asleep indefinitely”, so this is great to see.
That was unexpected.
Honestly I went and checked the date of the video in case it was 4 days old.
I was like, "Oh wow, they actually added Deckard Cain.. hmm!"
I was expecting a diablo hero as it has been a while since we had one but didn't expect chan.
its all because of itdbecoolif
Read my mind
that potion sound tho, good old days
town portal sound, also great. D2 sounds effects are great
The potions sounds are just right. Especially when picking up multiple potions. You get that spam effect just like in d2
So nice
bloop
Just checked, today is not April 1st.
same
why dose everyone is faster than me?
first thing i did after video was check release date of it....
Yep, had the same thought...
same xDDD
Can't wait for the Deckard Cain announcer pack...
omg yes
If they don't make it I'm gonna riot
Just get the Deckard Cain GPS navigator voice
is it a thing????
If you released this a few days ago I would have assumed it was an April Fools joke. That being said, I love it and I will play him even if he sucks.
same, especially with that Stay a while and listen ultimate
Endyo You mean it's NOT a late April's fools joke?!
Endyo same
Hope to see him in pro play
IKR? it's a very odd choice for a hero TBH.
I actually enjoyed listening to him since diablo 1. With his elderly Sean Connery voice.
Stay a while, and listen!
Alexander Aramaki CARINE BLOODHOOF WHEN?!
ZzZzZzZz
Listen whaaat?
LoL Carbot actually predicted that.
What a stupid heroic!!! I, for one, will never fall asleep with those fascinating tale.
He needs a Roshi skin!
Throw a Hawaii shirt, shorts and a turtle shell on him. That skin and the cloud mount, yes please.
Hawaii shirt, Bermuda shorts and flipflops.... "Fly me to bermuda!"
This plox
Anders Milling maybe for the summer event this year
The interactions with him and the female characters at the start of the game would be.. interesting
Talent: Bleeding nose. Turns his scrolls into porno mags. Kills enemies with blood bursts out of nose.
3:25 this is cruel [insert comma] poor old Deckard Cain
rip
Cruel poor old Deckard Cain? What?
FrozenStar making the old man walk against the movement of convey.
But he said Deckard Cain is cruel :(
you gotta insert your own comma or period cuz ppl don't bother with it anymore.
I'm an old school d2 player played for
"Lorenado"
What a gag character, I love it.
after that I double checked if it was released on April 1st
Tomato of Doom same
*carbot being happy*
I was wondering if anyone else picked up on that ult that carbot came up with a while back XD
Everyones happy. Not just carbot
The collaboration is going to be great. First the sprays, then the heroes...
Next hero, Carbot liberator
Stay a while and listen... LOL ty blizzard
Savix is this the real Savix?
#SoloQue
#SoloQue GATHER THE ARMY BOIS
#SOLOQUE ARMY
#SOLOQUE
Carbot was right all along! :o
muhahahaha
I know right he definitely influenced this
Spoiler alret, they run blizzard
guessing main developer of Cain was carbot
Everybody's been screaming for Cain to get into this game for years, I don't know where you guys have been.
OKAAAAY!! I'll stay a while...
King Sisyphus but more important will u listen?
...zzz...
Ameya Bhaskar nope....
Thanks goes to CarbotAnimations and Blizz!!!!
Serpent Hunter I just saw the video that Carbot did about if Decard was in HOTS
Carbot concept of hero was better
that moment...when blizzard takes the meme and makes it real :D
Well, they did Azmodunk, didn't they?
Don't let your memes be dreams my dude!
This is the same group that turned the Jaina is a dreadlord meme into a reality, why are you surprise?
It is Blizz's specialty
You realise it April right? Think the showed off that new D3 Loremaster in April a few years back, man that class is awesome!
"What are you gonna do, talk me to death?"
challenge acceptd
SHTAY A WHILE AND LISHEN
Well...actually...
-Man that got talked to death.
Suika Ibuki rest in sleep
The moment when HoTS gets more Diablo content than Diablo 3 FeelsBadMan
sad that i could laugh about this even tho it's true
Diablo 3 is dead, just wait until they release Diablo 4 and hope it's not as bad as 3 was.
but FeelsGoodMan
Delivery of the platinum chip is non-negotiable. Or go play PoE
Diablo 3's not getting much content because the team is focusing on the next installment which is going to be so epic my pants are going to be blown off from the sheer awesomeness
I almost had an heart attack when I saw this in my notification tab. First Fenix and now Decard, this is like a 2nd birthday.
I feel like he was gonna be an April fool's character but during play testing they were like
*Oh he's actually pretty good*
wouldve been even bigger brain to announce him on April fools, then the next day say, ha! it being an april fools joke was the april fools joke!
I know right I thought this was an April fools the moment I saw it but realised wait it's 5th April XD and he seems pretty legit, so good hahaha
He is by far my fave blizz/diablo character out there. I have done his voice for fun to friends and family for 20 years now :D I LOVE IT!
You've got quite a treasure there in that horadric cube...
ahh the nostalgia
*Violently left clicking*
Omg I'm having flashbacks XD
lol I used it as a bag most of the time XD
Whats he gonna do, identify my magic item?
Shut up and identify my stuff!
lol
No goddamn way, I can't believe this isnt an april fools joke.
Glorious Deckard Cain bids you to stay awhile, and listen!
how do you know its not ? i mean could just be a delayed release for the spotlight i really hope it is a legit hero but it seems a bit too silly with the names of the spells even for blizz but i do hope this is a real hero release
Potion seller, i'm going into battle..
My potions are too strong for you, traveler..
inb4 Genji getting ALL OF THE HEALING!
You obviously don't get the reference
YOU CANNOT HANDLE MY STRONGEST POTIONS TRAVELER
You have no respect for knights!
At first I thought this was April Fools, then I realized it's everything I ever wanted.
R.J. Writes so, it's not? still thinking that it is April's fools video hehe
R.J. Writes April fools on the 5th of April yeah?
he was already an april fools joke in diablo3. glad they decided to make it real.
Omg I'm gonna laugh every single time the enemy Deckard uses his ult...
Not if he's always next to teammates, which his trait pretty much requires him to do.
Adrian CubairX me and it reminds me of diablo :(

We've had this name already on Median XL for a good long time :)
Haha good one Blizzard, nice April F... oh wait you're serious
ikr...why blizzard? just why?
We requested him on the forums a while back.
I'd love if he has a way of spamming "Help!"
That would be amazing
Maybe if you click on top of him
Maybe it's one of his emotes?
zebezd thath will do
Imagine if his taunt animation puts him in the trapdoor lol
If you'd released this on April 1st, everyone would be super confused that this is an actual hero we'll be able to play O:
I just did triple check that it wasnt actualy April 1st....
My thoughts as well.
I was thinking the same thing! Especially with an ability like lorenado lol
I'm still not sure if it's a joke or not... seems like a lot of work for a prank but it just seems like it is.
They should of done it.
Nice!!! Last 3 heroes are original, cool, lorefriendly and verry strong! Well done!
2 weeks since the *Fenix* trailer
_Blizzard is awesome_
YEah!!!! :DDDDD
Fenix was delayed a bunch though the time gap between him the previous hero was huge
Thanks, carbot!
when they make him go on the treadmill lol savages 3:25
Woaaah! Once again you guys did amazing job with the design!
The memes are going to be so real.
SonicStorm 15 Stay a while and listen!
Dont let your memes be dreams.
0:40 I love his little dance!
Reminds me a lot of Merlin’s dance in Disney’s Sword in the Stone, especially that little finger wag he does.
Love the uniqueness of his animations
I want to see his interaction with Prime Evil Diablo.
Even HOTS get more Diablo content than Diablo.
Sad 🐄
5302345 than*
..... the mad men they actually did it
That Guy T H E M A D M E N
He reaaaally looks like an April's Fool joke, but he's so well designed, and animated... So it can't be.
I love it! :D
it is too late for an April fools joke
Around when they announced Diablo 3 they released footage of Deckard Cain as a playable character with a bunch of unique spells and attacks.
That actually was an april fool's joke though.
Friendly reminder Blizz has some pretty fire April fools jokes talent
The Lorenado is a reference to that April Fool's joke, IIRC
That would be a complete waste of animations that prolly took weeks to design.
Finally! Thanks!
I was waiting for Deckard since the very beginning!
HOTS team, congratulations! You always amaze me doing different chars with different gameplays. I am really surprised with this char. Well done!
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS - for so long I asked for this hero.. OMG I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!
did u fall when u were young?
I had to check if it was 1st of April when the notification poped out xD
I have been waiting for this very moment)))) Nice to meet you again, Deckard Cain
Deckard Cain from Diablo
A probe from Starcraft
Murky from wow
*PACHIMARI FROM OVERWATCH CONFIRMED!?*
Murky OP, leave the fish alone!
Rasta Chech but no so much story in the game was come
Hedr Bohlega nope, but there will be a zerg creep hero
Pachimari skin for murky or stitches?
LOL
Playing this game again
Alex Majkrzak I never stopped.
My husband: "They made Deckard Cain a playable character"
Me: So does he bore people to death?
My husband: "actually, he does."
Cut to the Lorenado
Me: "Go, Home Blizzard. You're drunk"
Haha this could have been mine and my hsubands convo as well. :D
I don’t even care he looks so much fun!!
From what I understand Lorenado was from a Diablo April Fool's at some point as well.
It was. The Archivist, joke class based on Deckard Cain
I don't remember the horadric cube being explosive.
Alright, this looks like the most authentic skillset I've seen in a long time. Loving it.
Yay more supports
Been talking and asking about this since the game was announced. IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!
AHHHH so nice to see such a funny idea from Carbot coming to life. this is SOOOO COOL!
i still hope we get a master skin for him in a wheelchair edit: i liked carbots version more. the level20 talent to throw down a meteor when dying was an awesome idea :D
Carbot predict it !! awesome new heroe!
He even predicted Horadric Cube even tho his version is a lot different
Hail Carbot!
He perfectly predicted Stay awhile and Listen so it’s ten points out of five.
Not what i would call a "prediction". Stay awhile and listen is a very iconic catchphrase that it would be difficult if blizz DIDN'T use it. Same with horadric cube.
Well, I wished Deckard Cain with Stay a While and Listen long ago. I guess everybody will hope this become true.
Someone call carbot
Actually it was said at Pax East 2012 that he was one of the Heroes they would like to put in the game one day, while the game was still in Alpha access. Just before they launched the beta testing phase. So Blizzard beat that carbot guy to the punch by 5 years...
I love how this starbtle guy responds to every comment (with a copy pasted comment) that involves carbot just to tell them this, we don't care... Carbot is awesome, I am assuming he made the video he made without the knowledge from Pax East, so its cool that he was able to predict it, and either way 2 of the abilities that he said he thought would be cool have the same name and placement in the ability bar as the release Cain so thats really cool, stop trying to bum people out man and just let them enjoy that carbot did a vid on this before it came out.
In all seriousness, wait long enough and every bliz hero will be in the game, seems redundant for them to say it, and 6 years ago lol
His prophetsy was right!!!!
You have quite a treasure there in that horadric cube. Also, it was Pepin that healed you. "What ails you, my friend?"
My name is Deckard Cain and I come from Tristram. If your looking for Diablo then you just missed him.
If you find old Griswald then you can take him down but you'll get no reward til you come back to town.
Thanks for my life i'll identify your stuff but if you choose to carry on then it's gonna get tough.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows that song hahaha
I thought April Fools was a few days ago?
But seriously, super hyped to see DC as a healer! The sound work are fantastic (Potions! Portals! Voicework!), and his kit looks like a lot of fun.
STAY A WHILE, AND LISTEN
FINALLY! Been waiting for you guys to add Deckard in.
I should stay a while and listen...
April's Fools was already few days ago Blizzard.
Great April fool's joke!
Oh, it's serious.
I'm so happy now
April Fool's is on April 1st though.
hamsterman1995
But releasing this on april 1 would have been too obvious..
You're right... Blizzard is ahead of the curve!
I legitimately laughed when I saw the thumbnail thinking it was for April Fools.
i m not the only one huh :))
I stayed awhile, and listened
Now we need Chris Metzen as a character and we're golden.
they can just make the statue where hes holding baby winstons hand, then he matches the artstyle :D
I think they should make a skin for Chen so that when he splits it's Chris Metzen, Mike Morhaime and Samwise Didier..
Still waiting for Leeroy Jenkins
waluchimaru agreed sir
PLEASE let this happen!
hope you have to wait til eternity
Can you imagine?!
Leeroy Jenkins, the remaining members of the E.T.C. band and that Tauren, whose name I can't remember, that everyone would kill every time they went to the inn in Ogrimmar.
Deckard Caine was one of my top requested heroes! But still my top pick is Cairne Bloodhoof for some WC3 representation!
thrall, jaina, arthas, kel' thuzad, anub'arak, tyrande, malfurion ?
Cairne.
Alexander Aramaki Fingers crossed
Archimonde, Varimathras, Grom, and Mannoroth are also needed.
deckard cairne?
This was great. Especially his stay awhile and listen heroic. Putting everyone asleep lol. Exactly how we all felt when he just wouldn’t stop talking.
FINALLY, waiting for this hero since alpha!
did u fall when u were young?
were you beaten much as the brat you are? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
nope lol but since u didnt answer my question that mean u did get dropped when u were young lol
if u wanted that garbage character
Carbot was right all the time
that was not his idea tho~
stealed from forums
Omg, Carbots predicted this XD
i think he actually help in the dev of this hero
"Id be cool if"
Drastically different kit though.
I'm not sure if that was a prediction or a design draft Blizzard actually used....
He didn't.
Cain was demanded since day 1.
So awesome to see these movies with subtitles/captions for the deaf and hard of hearing!
Fenix, Deckard Cain, the memes are being crushed... Deathwing blizzard, give us Deathwing!
talent tier 20, "respect the elderly".... blizz cmon, hire carbot already!,
They already have dude.
Haven't you seen heroes of the dorm?!
oh my God, I did not notice the name!
+Zerebrat Eightyseven It was a playful joke
They did it.
Those maniacs acually did it.
I may even start to forgive them for the lag and fps drop.
Ok now, let's not go overboard! Great heroes is nice, but even nicer to be able to actually play them in real time, not 3 seconds ago >_>
where do you guys live?
lol fix your connection.. all the years that i have been playing heroes i have never had lag or fps drop..
Oh boy, we got us a Blizz apologizer! Don't worry, I'll play along and pretend the problem is my top tier verizon fios service...even though it's only HOTS...ever >_>
Hold on...sorry, have to unplug my ethernet cable from my desktop to be able to agree with you...ok, now I can say yes, it was me, definitely not Saint Blizz o_o
This is the most unique hero I've seen so far! Granted I don't know all the characters in every MOBA but I feel like I've never seen a character in any of them who literally fights with the power of knowledge, artifacts, and story-telling. :-) Absolutely love it!
Never gagged this much to see my notification !!
Now that is a unique healer. Hype to play that.
But what about the INNKEEPER!?
Yes; we need INNKEEPER as Hearthstone's sole representative.
Yes. Harth Stonebrew is the hero we need
I would love some Hearthstone representation! Innkeeper or Elise Starseeker would be perfect
Innkeeper's trait RNG.
The last of the Hearthstone heroes needs to get in before the innkeeper gets his chance.
surprisingly not an April Fools joke
not all that surprising considering it was released on the fifth and not the first.
He's almost exactly like the Archivist hero class for D3, who was not surprisingly just an April Fool's joke.
Yeah why not, 2 headed ogre with 2 players 1 body was also an april fools that made it to the nexus eventually :D
"Stay a while and listen", I knew it!
I hope this is NOT april fool joke..
This is awesome!
Alexi GVS 4 days too late
already is at heroes page, so noo is not an april fools joke
its already at heroes page, so its not an april fool :D
Alexi GVS April fools joke on April 5?
Do you honestly think that Blizzard, as competent as they are, could design, sketch, model, render, animate and develop the gameplay of a character for...an april fool joke ? ^^
Love heroes of the storm. Keep up the good work supporter of the Nexus!
I sat next to one of the lead developers for HOTS at last years Blizzcon during the championship games. After talking to him for awhile about the game he asked "So, what's a new hero that you would like to see come out next." My buddy and I both said Deckard Cain given our love for Diablo and thinking it would be funny to see. He gave a look of shock that we told him that hero which made me think it really wasn't in their plan for new heroes but here we are.
Anyways, to the developer that I talked to last year at Blizzcon if you are out there reading this, Thanks.
Now This it could be they planned it and did not know ppl actually want him in game also the question could been an opinion question weather they made one or not
No Cain was definitely on their radar, they even went so far to ask for community suggestions on a possible kit for him back in 2016.
I dont' know how they'd be shocked seeing that Blizzard has a solid D2 fan base. And obviously we want Deckard Cain. And others from Diablo 2..................................... Not Diablo 3 3 3 3 3 3....
The level 13 talent Ancient blessing is insane, Did bliizard forget tracer who shoots 8 bullets per second ? It's 1k damage and 1.6k healing PER SECOND. Plus there are other fast shooting heros like fenix and tygus.
Yep my first thought was also whoa, flat increase?
Can't wait to have him next to my D.Va.
There's a 1 second internal cooldown on the effect... thankfully.
Aww. :D
With Tracer and assuming level 20 values I could have seen it, being how she would have to stay in a small area and give up mobility. But yeah.
4:04 Page Not Found? LOL
Blizzard please.
wow nice catch
2:10 Treasure Goblin skin confirmed.
I love that they really did use some of carbot's skills and talent ideas from his video. great way to pay homage to him.
still waiting for specialists and multiclass
Specialists are much more difficult to make than Assassins and Warriors, and a bit more difficult than Supports. We'll get new Specialists eventually, but we've gotta be more patient with them.
As for multi-class...I dunno.
We will never get a new multi class after the disaster that's called Varian
All the current specialists need a significant rework after the tower changes. That or remove the classification give up ans make hammer an assassin already.
Overmind at blizzcon?
mmm arcturus mengsk this year maybi specialist :)
They've been joking and teasing about it for years. I'm kind of excited to play him, although his Ultimately are kind of disappointing, but maybe there better than I think. Either way, I really love his basics, he looks fun to play. Hopefully people won't ignore my potions, like they do Alexstraza's healing circle >.>
level 20 heroic talent blinds and silences , thats a freaking huge area blind/silence
Yeah, at lv20, when the game is basically over anyway. Until then, the sleep is mostly pointless, except for when your team is being chased. It might be good if you have an amazing team that understands how you can set them up with that, but 95% of the time people are going to break the sleep status before the rest of your team is in position.
Oh, absolutely they will, everyone is gonna throw out dmg willy nilly, but, i think the best use of it is just catching as many enemies inside the sleep as possible, and then continue to focus those that are already being chased - hopefully it will turn the fight in your favour.
I love alaxandtas healing circle
The cooldowns on them are fairly short, 60s for the sleep, 30s for lorenado
And also give him a younger version of himself "SKIN" since I'm curious of what he look like when he was younger....
Chester Vince Alcolea omg that's pretty good idea😀😀
Probably like Tom Morello
He needs the beach party skin...
With the old man socks and sandals, absurd amounts of sunscreen, hawaiian shirt... the works.
Watch: the plot twist is that he still looked just as old 20 years ago as he does now.
Yesssssss great idea
awesome . long time player - but it is only through the wisdom of Deckard Cain that i have come to this channel.
Finally the hero we deserve!
