Blizzard teases a new hero for Heroes of the Storm. It seems to be a dragon – but which one?
Is the new HotS hero Deathwing? Or another dragon?
After Tracer was released as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm a few weeks ago, it has been quiet regarding upcoming characters. The powder announced at that BlizzCon is shot. Since Blizzard still plans to release a new hero every 4-6 weeks, they need to step up soon – and they are doing just that. Some GIF animations showing new abilities have appeared on the official Twitter account of Heroes of the Storm.
The community is wildly speculating which character it could be. For a dragon, most players inevitably think of Deathwing, but the shadow depicted seems, according to some fans’ analysis, to fit Ysera more. The ability to turn someone into a sheep also does not seem to fit the aspect of the earth.
Our personal tip goes in a different direction. We (okay, actually Cortyn) suspect that it is not a dragon aspect, but Chromie, who belongs to the bronze dragonflight. In World of Warcraft, she travels alongside players through time and tries to prevent dark forces from disrupting the timelines. This would explain the rather “feminine” silhouette of the dragon, justify a “cute” ability like turning into a flying sheep, and simultaneously explain the gold-bronze animation from the last teaser.
But so far, these are just speculations; we will surely know more in the coming week.
