Medivh Spotlight - Heroes of the Storm
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Medivh is a powerful ranged Specialist who wields arcane powers to manipulate the battlefield to the benefit of his team-and to the detriment of his enemies. With the ability to create portals for his team and become an invulnerable Raven, players will soon learn that it’s great to have this Archmage on their side.

This really seems like one of those heroes that will be horrendously OP in the right hands.
Or just against new players that will stupidly chase the raven or group up too much. :3
I have had teammates that.. purposely spread the Poly Bomb... So annoying.
I've never seen anyone chase the raven LOL
As a good mediv player i can tell you that he isn't op,but in the right hands he can be incredibly useful for the allies and very annoying for the enemies...
You were right all from the start
I am amazed by Blizzards uncanny ability to constantly make creative and unique hero kits like Medivh's. Keep up the good work HOTS team!
Wtb Zul'jin or Kelthuzad. C'mon Blizz I got my wallet ready and I know how much you guys love money
Vol'Jin though.
Will you please review my case for a surrender button?
The Case for a Surrender Button
1) Even if two teams have roughly the same MMR, there are factors that come into play that can affects a player’s MMR at the time. Several things can help determine one’s performance in a highly competitive environment:
a) Lack of nutrients
b) Adversely under the influence of substances
c) Emotional issues
d) Connection and hardware issues
e) Fatigue
f) Health issues
g) Psychiatric disorders causing one to troll
h) Apathy
i) And others
2) Players can determine other player’s MMR at the time through their personal judgement. Unlike children movies, where the good guys tend to win, sometimes there is no hope. And players know it. In Starcraft II and Hearthstone, players are allowed to leave matches if they judge the match to be unwinnable. Heroes of the Storm player’s judgement should also be respected by giving them the option to surrender.
3) The absence of a surrender button allows the following manifestations:
a) Player lose their limited time that can be spent on a match of higher quality or an activity that is in enjoyable. This is in addition to the time lost that is spent on gaining ladder experience points by obtaining well deserved wins; this type of time lost is unavoidable even with a surrender button. Nonetheless, it is noteworthy to mention this type of time lost.
b) You get penalized for your good judgement and your unwillingness to commit to fruitless endeavors by leaving the match.
c) Being pressured to ‘play’ a match or participate in an activity against one’s choice does not encourage civil behavior. It probably does the opposite - it increases the likelihood of salty behavior.
We got 2 Warcraft in a row. It would make sense if the next one is a SC or Diablo. Still waiting for Imperius, Malthael and Alarak. So, maybe later. And by the way, Kel'thuzard is way more important and cooler than Zul'jin. We also had enough assassin for now.
+LesEnfants1972 the Diablo II Druid would also be nice. I mean we got Xul already
no
This trailer made me play the WC3 campaign again.
Too bad you couldn't control Medvih in WC3 game.
Think of a campaign with Medivh - as we got with Rexxar.
Strongest mage on Azeroth just walking around killing everything.
I didn't know that trolls in WC-verse regenerated. Is this "new" in WoW?
WoW trolls used to have a trait that increased health regen and kept some going in combat idk if it's still a thing. But it's from the established lore.
L3ndzo83
Huh, can't remember that. Well TMYK I guess. :)
I can't wait for hogger.
CalyGamer13
he'd probably end up as either an assassin or warrior.
hogger would be too powerful.
Wut, why would they make him too powerful
Well...You must be new to wow, huh?
I've been asking for hogger since day 1 😂
Cool
Now add Malthael
Agreed ^^
No assassin Imperius!
+solidsnake64me Id want him after Malthael
Dang I didn't know the Flash played HotS!
Or Mephisto (or Urzael ;))
Aw man, that Warcraft 3 music. So much nostalgia right now... So happy they got the original Medivh voice actor for him, too (still salty about Anub'arak not being Steve Blum, but at least Rexxar is).
At least its not the Anub'arak voice they went for in hearthstone yikes.
i miss the original illidan voice
+000ShadowHedgehog000 The original voice sounds like a nerd. This new Illidan vouce at least makes him sound like someone you wouldn't try messing around with.
Fairly certain Steve Blum wasn't the original Rexxar or Anub'arak, but he'd be a fitting voice for Anub'arak.
Anub'arak's played by the same actor in WotLK, Hearthstone and Heroes.
2:36 nice reference to the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Cinematic trailer
Yea I noticed that too!
exactly what i was thinking ^^
First I didn't get it. Now I do! So that is actually Medivh in the cinematic?
Nosbled Maybe^^
Tack I rewatched it and it looked like the scene is in Nagrand, and it doesn't look like Medivh so maybe not. Still an awesome easter egg.
Unable to be targeted in Raven form... RIP Abathur
That WoW trailer scene. Wonder how many people picked up on that.
glad im not the only one who noticed
Totally did.
I saw that and my mind immediately went back to that trailer. All that's missing is an infernal and the fire-punching...
Not only that, but it sounds like they got the same voice actor from WC3, that or this new one sounds a LOT like the guy.
and the WC3 cinematic from him going to Lorderon
WC 3 Reing of Chaos Human Campaing Intro. and what about that? only the Crow flying produce so much Haters hahaha
2019. Still maining Medivh (3k games). The hero that changed everything for me.
I love that they brought back Michel Bell for his voice. Cam Clarke is good, but Michael's voice always fit Medivh's character better.
Raziel is back! ;)
solidsnake64me
Good one
The backround music from the death of hellscream cinematic...GJ blizz
Yep. It's also from the cinematic at the end where Medivh departs after Archimonde has been defeated.
Khadgar you mean?
Khadgar? lolwut?
Kael'thas Sunstrider I'm assuming he's talking about current archimonde in HFC, which medivh was definitely not there
+Aiden Rogers No.He's talking about the WC 3 ending cinematic.That's where this music is from.
Sandor Clegain lives
CLEGANEBOWL CONFIRMED!
Wtf is a lommy
#CleganeBowlboyz
How do you have upvotes, this is stupid
Well someone doesnt watch game of thrones..
Specialist class is my favourite part of this game
ye, i play league more at the time, but some specialists from heroes are so cool :)
Cant wait for princess peach
But but dat Wario! Can you imagine a smash to send them flying as his W :P
...
Same
Peaches and Ravens...
This guy is going to be a huge game changer. Looks like a very high skill cap though.
Brace yourselves. Medivhs stalking you with raven form are incoming
OMG they brought back Michael bell to do the voice for Medivh.
Too bad they couldn't get him for Hearthstone.
While many of you will fondly remember Michael Bell for his work as Medivh, I'll always see him as the Reaper of Souls, Raziel.
OMG didnt notice raziel voice !!!
Why does everyone want MAlthael? I want a Troll in this game like Vol'jin or something.
/sign
We need Hogger.
LEEEEEEEEEEROYYYYYYYYY JENKINSSSSSSSSSSSS
Get them *'jins* up in here! *Vol*, *Sen*, *Zul*, don't matter. Gimme one.
I'm with ya. Also Tosh
Keep it up blizzard I don't want this game to die.....keep up the good work blizzard!
Man so sad to see this comment 7 years later
I feel like that chain polly is going to be infuriating beyond imagining.
Just imagine your extremely helpful teammates bringing it right to you.
Tim Kramp BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T SPREAD LIVING BOMB WELL ENOUGH
The Prophecy is being fulfilled...
Isn't HotS stuff supposed to be on your main account, Wtii? :P
I've been editing Warcraft 3 videos on the channel hence why I'm on this avatar~
Oh, NICE! You got Michael Bell to return as the voice. I met him in Seattle last year; one of the all-time best voice actors.
They teased us with The Orcish Blademaster, I hope he enters the Nexus soon.
Gromash Lives !
Attila Takáts they previewed him already at Blizzcon it's a Burning Blademaster like Samuro.
its going to be Samuro
Probably during the Legion event ?
Samuro or Za'muro the Blademaster was dropped and will be probably replaced by Grom/Garrosh/Varian
I love how they brought back Medivh's voice actor from WC3; I always thought he sounded better in the role than the guy they used for Hearthstone
A fairly interesting hero; not a lot of damage potential, but insane utility. I feel like he's gonna quickly become a favorite x)
I'm already in love with Mediv! Keep up the good work blizzard! ❤️
I like how they change the old specialist symbol just for the release of Medivh, so specialists aren't always considered to be only good at pushing. THEN they show the old symbol in his Spotlight video.
I really want Imperius in this game
same
Itherael would be better
There's already Tyrael and it would be hard to design abilities for Ithereal cuz both of them are rly similar. At least Imperius wields spear
what about Malthael? He is different then any other angel...
he'd be pretty cool
Can we address how insanely OP Medivh seems???
Invulnerable raven flight alone is a game breaker.
but his damage is non-existant
Wrong, both of you.
What? the Squishy guy that does little to no damage?
I mean, he does look good and very hard to use. Kind of like a very specialized support. The guy that sets up the plays, not the one that makes it. But not necesarily very OP. It may even be very weak.
basically he has uther ult as normal ability. Oh yeah, other MOBAs have shown hw great that is...
2:38 reference to the world of Warcraft vanilla trailer
it was on tbc trailer not vanilla
Pair him with Tyrande = Rest in peace Abathur :'(
How? Portal is close range. Abathur can see the raven in the minimap which can give him time to dodge the owls
Dude, he can use D, not get hit, scout for Abathur, and Tyrande can Sentinel
Abathur is doing like 10,000 things at the same time, he can't just keep running away all the time
Medivh Artanis\Illidan comps will be so good.
Instead of commenting about a hero I want in the future, I'm actually commenting to let you know how awesome this one is. I play this game way more than League now and I was kinda disappointed by the lack of utility champs. This guy made me so happy when I saw his kit. Thanks for this :)
I love the specialist classification, since he doesn't seem build for pushing, but would see play as a dps. He seems almost like a support, if that didn't mean "healer."
Medivh?! Seriously!?
C'mon Blizzard. You know what we want. Give us the great evil himself. Give us the lord of the undead. Give the lich lord himself, Kel'thuzad.
Kel'thuzad has been confirmed; he will arrive in time :p
Hmm Ner'zhul
when u said "the great evil himself" I thought u were going for jaraxxus
jaraxxus is only a puppet
no give us JARRAXUS EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION.
The WC3 feels :(
I love his music theme. it sounds like a variation of the motif that played when we first see him arriving in the Human's cinematic in WC3.
I was originally going to talk about how Medivh should probably be classified as a support (if support had to be healers, then it would be called the healer class).
But after scrolling through the comments, I'm just glad that others are waiting for my favourite lich to join the Nexus.
"then it would be called the healer class" & Warriors would be called Tanks & Assassin would be called Burst mages.
Your point is invalid.
I want Baine Bloodhoof !! ETC shouldnt be the only tauren here...
or at least an epic skin
The problem is that there are still no Draenei or trolls in this game. And only one blood elf, forsaken, worgen, goblin and gnome (who is actually a dragon!)
Baine needs to bring in more than just "tauren" to the game to be in
Cairne Bloodhoof woule be better
+androkguz i wish they bring garrosh and baine in same time so we can avange
+Misael Macías yes indeed.
And now to improve performance :)
How so?
+mike condo i dunno XD ask the desvelopers as Its their job , people getting lag issues since morales .
I'm having problem whit FPS drops since Chromie patch qq its hardly playable some time
+hugo carlos testino valero that's usually just your comps fault
hugo carlos testino valero Lag is your internet / whatever server you're connected to. If you're getting low FPS then blame your PC / fix your graphics settings
"ready to take his place, amongst the legends"
every time i heard i want to cry
This is truly unique. A true disruptor
It has been a while since we got new maps. How about one with a Starcraft theme?
Or Overwatch-themed with references to future Earth.
I think they said something about not wanting too many maps. I miss haunted mines.
Get Blizzard to implement a "I dislike this map"-feature where you can pick one or two maps you do not want to play on.
How can one have too many maps?!
yes please!!! I am so sick of the pirate I almost cry when it shows up. I"m so bored with most of them, if too many maps is an issue retire pirate
anything that isn't warcraft related would be awesome lol.... I have played wow since launch and I have played the warcraft games too as well so don't get me wrong that I do not like warcraft stuff I'm quit fond of warcraft..... but heros of the storm is getting to a point where it should just be renamed heros of warcraft not to mention the warcraft map they recently added.... I like the map but at the same time I was really disappointed they did not come out with a starcraft map in celebration of legacy of the void release considering it is the last SC game they would make at least for some time
Why have we not seen any troll heroes yet?
What about Murky? This is so troll
XD
Cho'Gall was meant as a Troll ... well, he became an ogre :P
I think he meant Troll race heroes .. Vol'jin should be in this game ..
+Aimaimaim Miamiamia amen
Aimaimaim Miamiamia I understood...
Looks interesting. I can just imagine him as a raven just constantly following the enemy :)
his old VO?! awesome
How about some Legion members? Tichondrius (any dreadlord really; but he's the leader), Jaraxxus, Rakeesh... Or the opposite. Give us a Naaru or Velen
Jarazzus would be dope... imagine all the puns
Add Grommash Hellscream already... And as a Warrior not an "assassin" with Bladestorm for his ultimate :)
this soundtrack is just so beautiful warcraft franchise will always be in my heart
I love how they got the original voice actor for HOTS but didn't for hearthstone.
Also seeing that insane raven transformation makes me wish for another RTS warcraft game so much more.
Warcraft IV confirmed
I predict a fairly low winrate in QM for this hero.
I agree, but he's going to be really good in team league.
I don't know, he's labeled a specialist, but he has support spells, so maybe he will be able to make a difference.
I think he specialist only bcs they didnt want to have Tyrande and Tess problems again
ETC doesn't make a difference with Groupies.
Nor does Tyrael with Sanctification.
Nor does Abathur and his Shield from the Hat.
It's just that in HotS, Support = Healer.
Let the games begin.
Michael Bell... it´s been so loong, so very long.. welcome back :_)
Now this is a character I'm going to thoroughly enjoy seeing in action.
I'll probably not be nearly good enough to play him, but man do I want to see him played.
2:38 Nice callback to the original WoW BC cinematic. Human mage using poly ona a tauren warrior
Now they need to make Kyle Vlaros, aka Blackthorne from their 'Blackthorne' game from back in the 90s on SNES :D
With one of his abilities allowing him to hide in plain sight, by slightly dimming his color palette
I'd be furious if his ult wasn't a single-handed shotgun blast fired behind him.
It was always cool looking when you do that. :)
Cyber D Vonaven It was THE way to kill things.
THAT BURNING CRUSADE CINEMATIC THROWBACK SCENE THOUGH!
Just u heard the music in the beginning I was logged out of WoW and went for a classic Reign of Chaos...ah the memories.
Warcraft III music at the end
And.... Yet another reason to never pick ravenous spirit.
All i want is Warcraft RTS game with this engine, that would be beyond awesome!
i looove what he represents as a toolkit, i could see myself playing around with this one a lot
Pleasr add Maiev Shadowsong next time.
Afraid they are adding everyone's favorite warlock :/
well we have maiev now soo
Where is alarak tho?
He seams great for a well coordinated team. I wonder how will he fair without that. Can't wait to see.
I can't wait for the trailer.I love that they kept the same voice actor
Can opponents destroy those portals?
Nope
No, but the duration is rather short
No, they can't... and Mediv can link two lanes...
You just need a clay golem)
yes
Woah. That's a lot of messing with the meta. Will be interesting to see what people can come up with Medivh.
Can't wait! Keep it coming Blizz ^^
I'd really love to see another support since Lt. Morales, andMedivhs playstyle goes in the right direction for that.
Thumbs up to you, Blizzard!
likin' the abilities but jeeze the animation for the portals looks wonky as all heck
Finally!!!! We Finally know what that quote from W3 means. Thank you for explaining it Blizzard it took you just 14 years.
what quote? (too young for W3)
ivel kroezen In the end he says: "... And now that my task is done, I will take my place...amongst the legends of the past."
So he was just going to the Nexus.
Mr.Vojtik hahahaha nice, I guess he really meant the other guardians right? (i know it was a joke but I want to know the real reason for the quote)
"The roots will heal in time... as will the entire world. The sacrifices have been made. Just as the orcs, humans, and night elves discarded their old hatreds and stood united against a common foe, so did Nature herself rise up to banish the Shadow... forever. As for me, I came back to ensure that there would be a future, to teach the world that it no longer needed Guardians. The hope for future generations has always resided in mortal hands. And now that my task is done, I will take my place... amongst the legends of the past."
Omg.. This hero is soooo overpowered. Those portals and the raven form are really interesting!
I am even more hyped for the film now !
Ah yes Medivh the ward
what ever happened to the whole brawl mode? where they said u could fight like 5 illidans vs 5 illidans?
Arena? Dude I totally forgot about that. That was announced at Blizzcon last year I'm amazed it's not released yet.
Can't believe I had completely forgotten that was supposed to be a thing
Soon™
its coming at the end of this year
At the end of 2016, as they said last BlizzCon.
They decided they wanted to move in a different direction with it. Instead of making it all objective based with mini versions of map objectives, they want it to be more like tavern brawl in Hearthstone, or at least more whacky and not just straightforward objectives. So there really is no good guess as to when it's coming out.
I am WAY more interested in this character after watching the new warcraft movie. Well played Blizz.
Medivh is already a legend.. and one of the strongest characters in the Warcraft Universe
Khadgar is stronger. Khadgar managed to kill his master Medivh, and help lead against the Burning Legend.
+DrScaphandre Nah i doubt it. He does seem pretty powerful in wod (don't know about legion), but he hasn't really been confirmed as having the guardians powers.
but still he couldn't resist the Fel
+DrScaphandre
Khadgar had help, though. He only managed to get close enough to stab Medivh because Lothar distracted him.
Please add Mr.Bigglesworth as a hero
RAGNAROS
yeah just imagine ragnaros getting beaten up by a murky and hogger
+Child Molester Child Abuser TOO SOON
the light lord ?
Looks cool. Also, I'd play him just because his model was the one for Rubick in DotA All Stars
It would be really cool if they made a Raven Lord skin for him.
Where the fack is my Leeroy Jenkins???? Blizzard PLS ;-;
Give it some time. After all he did appear in Hearthstone and Warlords. Im sure that they might add him in here. :)
+Gamer Dan i hope they will ad him at april 1with a troll ilt which makes your team yolo assault XD
Only buying Garrosh or Gul'dan with real money, give me what I want and I'll give you what you want...
your $10 is not worth the time and effort it takes to make a character in a game like this.. stop being a selfish child and wait like everyone else.
The third Medivh skin looks awesome!
Not what I was expecting at all for Medivh, (I expected a killer assassin,) but this sounds really cool. I'm looking forward to getting to try his abilities out once he hits the Nexus.
2:36 wow intro cinematic reference.
lol true ^^
Actually, Burning Crusade
burning crusade
Actually TBC intro m8 not vanilla
Or simply a reference to a mage casting polymorph from Warcraft 2.
Anyone noticed the bgm? Sounds so familiar!
i think that's battleground...music i dunno
Well, the background music that plays during the beginning is the same piece that plays in the cinematic where Grommash dies in Warcraft 3.
bgm = background music, and yes it's from WC3
It's from Stormwind in World of Warcraft
Anyone knows the name from the track used starting from 1:06 until the end?
the good ol´ Atiesh, so many memories
0:15 "I will not fail humanity again" followed by sound of Reveal spell from WC3.
Sooo ... why isn't he support?
He was supposed to be, but they decided to push him into specialist since he doesn't heal. People were asking to put Tassadar into the Specialist category for quite a long time.
The game usually tries to match up teams of at least 1 warrior and 1 support, the party without a dedicated heal arguably performs worse on average. Imo it's a good move to put him into the specialist category.
He doesn't directly heal or give shields, so his role is a bit unclear. That's why Specialist exists
next up... Garrosh Hellscream! plizz..
we don't need more orcs :l
There cannot be enough orcs.
Plus there are just two which is really small amount next to 3,5 Night elves and billion of Humans... I forgot Rexxar so that is 2,5 of orcs.
I hope he gets a butcher charge! But no stun, more speed, and less risk. He can be our Butcher Thrall.
technokokos if anything we need a troll, draenei, or a undead.
Joshua Colpron Yep there should definetly be some Troll and Draenei ( even though i dont care for Draenei i think that every race should be represented). But i dont think we can hope for another Undeads since we have Sylvanas and Stitches.
Wow he looks like a cool hero, just wondering though, are any of the abilities here represent in the any of the warcraft games other than the portal and raven form?
2:36 is a great nostalgic throw back to The Burning Crusade Trailer at 2:01 with the same poly morph
people are too stupid not to spread living bombs around so i can already see how some lemmings are going to polymorph entire teams.
This one will prob be a bit harder to spread tho since there will be a big giant circle around your ally vs the little animation of fire that is only visible on your ally, but im sure there will still be some fools not paying attention lol.
Now gives us Sargeras Blizz ;)
And I thought having Deathwing would be too much...
we need him ASAP
my man Fullas when u b
Finally a very unique hero instead of a OP dmg hero. GJ blizz, seriously, no sarcasm this time.
With lvl 2o Arcane Rift Talent, he's abusing the notion of push. I love it! I'm addicted to it.
