In Heroes of the Storm, there is soon going to be a new character coming from the StarCraft universe – unfortunately, this is not the hero many had wished for. Where is Fenix?
Artanis is a better fit than Fenix
Fans of the StarCraft lore have long anticipated Fenix as a playable character in Heroes of the Storm and have now been bitterly disappointed. The next hero from the StarCraft universe will be Artanis, who will play an important role in the new expansion “Legacy of the Void” and is therefore thematically more fitting.
At Blizzard, they are trying to smooth over the situation and assure: Fenix will still come. They have currently just pushed him further back in the schedule because he will have a comparable resurrection mechanic to Leoric, and they did not want to release two similar heroes in such a short time. This gives more time to refine Fenix and give him unique mechanics that do justice to the legendary Protoss.
But until then, there will be a lot of time, as there are many new heroes coming first: In addition to Monk Kharazim, Rexxar, and Artanis, the Medic from StarCraft II will also be appearing.
