+The Legend of Seph I wouldn't be too happy about it either. I really didn't enjoy that map, and I'm glad Towers of Doom replaced it. Now let's replace Garden of Terror with a better map!
+Yewtub She can easily replace Kael'thas as the top Ranged Assassin in the hands of skilled players. Hero League is going to be fun for a few days as we weed out the unskilled from the skilled.
headcanon Azula escaped the fire nation prison, renamed herself Li Ming and unlocked Arcane magic in Caldeum. She became the chosen one and is now fighting evil and now fights in heroes of the storm
SHE HAS THE BEST VOICE EVER! BLIZZARD YOU MAY TAKE MY MONEY!!!! For those who are confused she is just the voice of the two of my favorite characters ever: Azula from the Avatar series and Mandy from The Grim adventures Of Billy and Mandy. Love her work!
+Ferynze O Champion is a Hero. The old school way to call a Hero. You will know it if you played WC3 before. Quote, when you Hero dies: "Our champion has fallen"
Taylor Davis I just opened my TFT and checked it once again. Undead: Our hero has been killed, Orc:our hero has been slaved! Human: our hero has fallen，Night Elf:our champion has fallen. I was a Night Elf main player so...
Finally! So happy to see some form of Archon on her, can't wait to see what it does. Also, she totally needs a "Firelord" skin where all her attacks become fire, since she as Azula share the same voice actor.
this came out far faster than i thought, thats what li ming said.... also love how arcane missiles is not only her core ability but each missle has its own pathing
+Nazael Rahl No Malthael. Leoric took his spot so there is very little chance that we're ever going to see him. And this is going to be the last D3 hero for now. D2 is coming after wizard
She's kinda in the position that Kael is in (assuming numbers aren't out of whack), but without the CC....in exchange she has a mobility. She's very poke-heavy, and can sweep up team fights. Kael, however, can end team fights without requiring having been winning it in the first place....but has to legitimately wait after he blows his load, while she can continue to sweep. On paper, she's very much a possible contender....then again, on paper Lunara was good....
+Bakhain she could be bursty, all 3(somewhere shown as 5) missile, and max range bigger ball. but the spotlight doesnt shown those bursty, but she still have the potential.
Its nice that we're getting a mobile mage this time. Can't wait to see Li-Ming use her reset trait to dominate every episode of TGN's top five plays Kappa
+darkwoodmovies Also, Lightning. I kinda expected them to make the D3 wizard Lightning and save Arcane for another Warcraft mage, but I guess they didn't think so.
+Stone Keyboard I don't have jaina and kael, I like both characters in WoW, I'm aware of what they can do, but didn't bother using them in HOTS, but I think arcane magic will do. lol.
I played about 1500 hours of Wizard in Diablo 3 since the launch. I've also played a fair bit of Heroes of the Storm, but nothing in comparison and I've never been this excited for a hero release since the Alpha when Diablo was annonuced. This is wicked. Gonna be my favorite hero by far.
+BananaBread I got a bunch of wins when buying her at 15,000 , she was so OP....she's nerfed now...not that much but I'm still not used without an arcane orb that pull enemies in
+Toby, Just A Random Dude its been 6 heroes since the last diablo hero. there's been 2 Starcraft ones recently, Artanis and lt.Morales. its about time we got a diablo hero or 2
+Leonard Halim Guess what, there are people who consider arcane magic to be supreme & pure and elemental like fire and frost to be primitive, I had been super disappointed if she had the skills you wanted her to have. Also Meteor would have been way too similar of a mechanic to Flamestrike and Blizzard (high damage impact after a short duration) + as you said its great, we still have the possibility to get D2 Sorceress.

Robin Wolf well yeah. arcane is more powerful. but hydra has been an iconic skill since D1. and there is also an arcane hydra too in D3. it should have been the other heroic ability after the disin. or if they want to make her other heroic as a more utility type. hydra can also be put as one of her active talent. tho not sure if it can make the talent too OP. but man. no hydra is just lame. they even buff hydra skill multiple of time in D3 so people use it more. since it's a very iconic spell/skill
+Leonard Halim I agree a bit BUT - meteor would be jut another Flamestrike or Blizzard (the Blizz dev. guy said this in a podcast) as for the Hydra - could be cool but Xul's right after and he'll have Skeletal Mage wall (which is very similar also) What I DO LOVE about her tho is that she has Teleport, if there's a talent that gives her 2 charges of that thing - would feel like Playing illusionist spec (only this time PvP) all over ;)
well, xul will be male, but i dont see this much of a problem, i mean all fem diablo classes are strong in this game, and whats exactly the problem? Or just weird for people?
+Lance Lindle Lee Because there are too many male Warcraft heroes that are going to be added: Garrosh, Kel'thuzad, Grom, Khadgar, Gul'dan, Varian, Anduin, Velen etc
They tried way to hard to make her girly. The wizard that I know from D3 is confident and even arrogant, but has a stance of power, not some prancing, hip swaying, over-sexed runway model garbage. Otherwise that's my only complaint. Nailed all the signature abilities of the Wizard. Glad to see more D3 characters in the game.
This makes the 16th Assassin and three in a row. I'm really glad Xul is a Specialist, but I think he should have come out first before the two. Can't wait to see what you guys might reveal at PAX South.

They're _Mages,_ not _Wizards._

Well, Blizzard. You've given me every Hero I've ever asked for except for one. What's the ETA on Deathwing?
+MFPallytime hi pally! :D
+MFPallytime Just give us a Pallytime hero in HoTS
+MFPallytime I know right they add this stupid thing that you know never has cooldowns but not a dragon
Agreed! It isn't an unreasonable request.
PS. And don't even think about giving us Garrosh, before DW.
+MFPallytime Blizzard Deathwing Soon (TM)
The voice actor sounds like Azula from Avatar the Legend of Aang!

Because they are voiced by the same person Grey DeLisle
And the same in Diablo 3

+Thanatos Black (Jackson Browne) I was so sad to hear they dropped some maps from the rotation and garden terror wasnt one of them lol
She seems like she will be stupidly good in the right hands. That trait is very powerful.
+Yewtub She can easily replace Kael'thas as the top Ranged Assassin in the hands of skilled players. Hero League is going to be fun for a few days as we weed out the unskilled from the skilled.
+Kris Fernalld I actualy don't like to play kael'that nor Jaina. I think i know who i am going to buy now.
Arturo Ramírez Li-Ming? Or a high crowd-control Hero to counter her?
+Kris Fernalld depends on her numbers she doesn't seem to hit all that hard but we will see
mrdrfuzzybalz Hard to tell in these videos. Cannot wait to take her to the practice map and test endlessly.
In the right hands she will be absolutely deadly. She definitely looks like a Hero that can carry the game.
You where here? intresting
headcanon
Azula escaped the fire nation prison, renamed herself Li Ming and unlocked Arcane magic in Caldeum.
She became the chosen one and is now fighting evil and now fights in heroes of the storm
I just love how arrogant she is in both D3 and now HoTS. "I'm so good... I astound myself!" :D Makes me smile a bit.
Ye she sucks hard, yet says "this realm needs me" when someone picks her.
Useless
This is Azula's voice, isn't it?
+NADYN yup
+NADYN She even looks like Azula. But yeah, that's Grey DeLise. Also voices Nova.

For those who are confused she is just the voice of the two of my favorite characters ever: Azula from the Avatar series and Mandy from The Grim adventures Of Billy and Mandy. Love her work!
This is such a cool design...there should be more high skill champions....can't wait for Xul though
+David «Einherjar133» Mužík wait? What's a ¨champion¨?
+Ferynze O Champion is a Hero. The old school way to call a Hero. You will know it if you played WC3 before. Quote, when you Hero dies: "Our champion has fallen"
+GG WP While i appreciate you thinking of such greatness, im 98% sure he just plays League and every playable character is a champion for him -.-
+GG WP they said your hero has fallen, champion was never used.
Taylor Davis I just opened my TFT and checked it once again. Undead: Our hero has been killed, Orc:our hero has been slaved! Human: our hero has fallen，Night Elf:our champion has fallen. I was a Night Elf main player so...
look at the flick of that wrist
Beautiful kit. I like how Blizzard introduces more flashy looking and mechanically challenging heroes!
But... can she shoot a magic missile at the darkness?
+AoiKaze2000 Yes, Magic Missile is a skillshoot.
So is arcane orb!
+AoiKaze2000 That's a reference I haven't heard in a long time. :)
+AoiKaze2000 sorcerer of light!!! then why'd you have to cast magic missile?
+AoiKaze2000 If there are any girls there, I wanna DO them!
Hopefully she can compete with KT and Jaina! Love her D3 moves.
Finally! So happy to see some form of Archon on her, can't wait to see what it does. Also, she totally needs a "Firelord" skin where all her attacks become fire, since she as Azula share the same voice actor.
Holy moly! She looks so cool. So D3 like!
And wow! The reworked ability icons look really nice. Not just taken from D3 directly.
the juke potential is real with her !!!
There's a new mayor of Juke City now!
+MrJustinArt pally is not amused.
DeEwouterKabouter
Well, pal... there's been a reelection.
+MrJustinArt ....Tracer is the new mayor of JukeCity
this came out far faster than i thought, thats what li ming said.... also love how arcane missiles is not only her core ability but each missle has its own pathing
Illidan is going to be a great counter vs Li Ming, I'm excited to see a chance we might utilize him in HL a lot more often now!
FINALLY !! I've been waiting for the wizard for so long. I'm going to buy right away!
I just can't wait for *Tracer* to join the Nexus!
Cheers, Love! The Cavalry's Here!
This is going to be fun.
Also where is Malthael?
+Nazael Rahl
No Malthael. Leoric took his spot so there is very little chance that we're ever going to see him. And this is going to be the last D3 hero for now. D2 is coming after wizard
Sverr NOOOOOOOOO
VArsovski10 Prime and Lesser Evils and Archangels have much potential. Auriel, Imperius and Malthael are definetly a hero material :)
VArsovski10
Kind of agree with Urzael) Pretty charismatic "Angel" of all. Even Malthael is boring. But the only evil i want to see is Baal
+Nazael Rahl I would love to see Imperius, Urzael, and definitely Malthael.
Happy Nexus Birthday, Li-Ming.
I love this wizard in D3, especially with the season 5 updates so its great to see her in other areas as well!
Awesome and amazing. I feel like TGN Squadron called it with the new Arcane mage/wizard
+Shadow21GX i wonder why... we have a fire... a frost... what does that leave... >_> it was super odvious it would be arcane
***** well thats more of a shaman thing...
+Shadow21GX But shes the Wizard from Diablo, not the arcane mage from WoW.
+Typervader's Lair They both use arcane magic.
DarthWind
Yea but you can't treat them as the same deal.
For anyone looking for the music playing in the background, it's "Chains Of Fate" from Diablo III: Reaper of Souls soundtrack.
Can't wait for Imperius, Malthael. Mephisto and Baal to join the Nexus! HYPEEEE!
Im so happy you brought Grey DeLisle back to voice her!
1:15 "Look at da flick of da wrist!"
I find the change in face really striking.
Looks like a fun hero for others to play.
We no care about diablo 3 wizard hero we want badass diablo 2 necromancer
+MyViolador That would be sick.
+🔧 MantasU90 He's already in coming after her. Check the last video.
+MyViolador No
+MyViolador I want them both, but would have necromancer first. Need more specialists aswell
***** Hype is real.
Wow she looks so much fun. Looking forward to playing Li Ming
yay! I hope this bring variety to jaina vs kt comps
+Elmer Tagra
She doesn't look to be as bursty. I don't think she will affect the position of the mages in the meta.
She's kinda in the position that Kael is in (assuming numbers aren't out of whack), but without the CC....in exchange she has a mobility.
She's very poke-heavy, and can sweep up team fights. Kael, however, can end team fights without requiring having been winning it in the first place....but has to legitimately wait after he blows his load, while she can continue to sweep.
On paper, she's very much a possible contender....then again, on paper Lunara was good....
Chain bomb will never die
fernando Iranzo They already said they are looking in to ways to rework chain bomb. so.....
+Bakhain she could be bursty, all 3(somewhere shown as 5) missile, and max range bigger ball. but the spotlight doesnt shown those bursty, but she still have the potential.
Looks amazing, playing with a Wizard on Diablo 3 at the moment and I'm loving it!
As LOL main player , this game looks so fun :) , seems like Blizzard put a lot of effort in this game , definitely will give it a try
0:34 - "Fully convinced that she was a hero prophecide to defeat the legions of Tell"

Yeah!
Yep, that's Grey Griffin!
+ShamaticWow Pssst, Nova is also azula
+Andrew Bui Erin Van Oosbree!
Oh, sorry.
Its nice that we're getting a mobile mage this time. Can't wait to see Li-Ming use her reset trait to dominate every episode of TGN's top five plays Kappa
So Jaina = Frost, Kael = Fire, and Li-Ming = Arcane even though she's not from WoW?
+Stone Keyboard They have the same set of wizard talents in D3. Arcane, Fire, Ice.
+darkwoodmovies Also, Lightning. I kinda expected them to make the D3 wizard Lightning and save Arcane for another Warcraft mage, but I guess they didn't think so.
MarkerInTheSand I thought lighting was only in D2's sorc?
+Stone Keyboard I don't have jaina and kael, I like both characters in WoW, I'm aware of what they can do, but didn't bother using them in HOTS, but I think arcane magic will do. lol.
+MarkerInTheSand Diablo the mark of a diablo-verse wizard is arcane magic while sorceresses tote elemental magics.
2:19 - Am I the only one that's fed up with this line after hearing it one trilion times in D3?
Are there no more hero trailers?
Agree.!WHYYYYYY
+279thedawson they already said they won't make trailers for every hero
+Daniel Vafidis but why
+frank_ _ Too much work just for fan service
her video had parts what looked like she will have a trailer.
This snuck up on me, so great to hear Grey back as Li-Ming!
u better give me xul, so I can play one of them
I haven't been this eager to play a game since D3 wizard trailer! Good job!!
That's so much more badass than I expected. But is it true she's gonna be "very hard" to play?
Thanks for putting in another op Hero Bliz. Really what your ballancing needed was another mage that oneshots every one.
Anyone knows where can i find the music from this spotlight?
1:42 Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls Chins of Fate theme
3:32 so is Haunted MInes coming back?
Li Li Ming. I ship it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Haven't been this excited for a hero in quite awhile!!
I thought I finally escaped Katarina...
at least li ming has mana.........
MingLee.
+Johnny Blue What is this "MingLee" thing? what am i missing
+totalymew isn't minglee a character from avatar the last airbender, is she? but i can be wrong.
dear god.
YEEES SO GOOD NOW NECROMANCER WILL COME SOON YEY
I've been waiting this whole time, and she looks amazing. I don't care if she's hilariously squish, my true main hero has finally arived.
A character that's sassier than Nova? I would love to see them do a cat fight... Also, she reminds me of Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender...
Funny fact both nova azula and li ming are voiced by the same voice acress ;D
I like how they mention everything except at one stage she can just stay back and Annihilate everything with her Disintegrate when she hits Arcon
I am so gonna buy this lady!!!
I played about 1500 hours of Wizard in Diablo 3 since the launch. I've also played a fair bit of Heroes of the Storm, but nothing in comparison and I've never been this excited for a hero release since the Alpha when Diablo was annonuced. This is wicked. Gonna be my favorite hero by far.
Can you guys start adding in a release date?
+Ralph Monty tomorow
+stevepwn Guess i will wait till she is 10k
+BananaBread I got a bunch of wins when buying her at 15,000 , she was so OP....she's nerfed now...not that much but I'm still not used without an arcane orb that pull enemies in
Nguyen Dat u bad dude shes still good i get ungodly amount of kills every game
i have't been this hyped for videogames in years!
WE
NEED
MALTHAEL!!!!
projecta3halkida here you go
That looks absolutely amazing.
so do we get her tomorrow? Is this how it works?
+Henry Lu yea
+Henry Lu or she's a week on PTR like monk and medic, that's the other option i think. since greymane isn't in the game that long yet
+Robin Depraetere anub and azmo been released really close so
She looks really fun, can't wait to try her! Mashalla Blizzard!
I need Azshara! D: Or any other form of Naga, then I'll be K. TY blizz
+Ashley Newman Lady Vashj maybe? :)
Indeed! then they can have all my moneys
That evil cackle at the end, fantastic.
Great, another Diablo character.
What happened with the starcraft event??
+Toby, Just A Random Dude soon(tm)
It died like all interesting in starcraft in general.
Soon™
+Toby, Just A Random Dude Yeah it's almost like there's people who play Diablo 3 or something wtf???
+Toby, Just A Random Dude its been 6 heroes since the last diablo hero. there's been 2 Starcraft ones recently, Artanis and lt.Morales. its about time we got a diablo hero or 2
Got dam I love her kit.
No blizzard, okay. since wow got it.
but, no hydra? no meteor?
aww..
now i want sorcerer from D2.
fire wall & frozen orb is a must have
+Leonard Halim
Guess what, there are people who consider arcane magic to be supreme & pure and elemental like fire and frost to be primitive, I had been super disappointed if she had the skills you wanted her to have. Also Meteor would have been way too similar of a mechanic to Flamestrike and Blizzard (high damage impact after a short duration)
+ as you said its great, we still have the possibility to get D2 Sorceress.

well yeah. arcane is more powerful. but hydra has been an iconic skill since D1. and there is also an arcane hydra too in D3.
it should have been the other heroic ability after the disin. or if they want to make her other heroic as a more utility type.
hydra can also be put as one of her active talent. tho not sure if it can make the talent too OP.
but man. no hydra is just lame.
they even buff hydra skill multiple of time in D3 so people use it more. since it's a very iconic spell/skill
+Leonard Halim I agree a bit BUT - meteor would be jut another Flamestrike or Blizzard (the Blizz dev. guy said this in a podcast) as for the Hydra - could be cool but Xul's right after and he'll have Skeletal Mage wall (which is very similar also)
What I DO LOVE about her tho is that she has Teleport, if there's a talent that gives her 2 charges of that thing - would feel like Playing illusionist spec (only this time PvP) all over ;)
Looks great, keep up the good work.
She's the most gorgeous char in the game.
WOW I love this hero!! More than I thought I would :O It captures the essence of the wizard so well
she sounds like azula from the last airbender
yeah, grey de lisle voiced a lot of stuff
3:33 - so will this map return? the one with the mines below?
Why is every Diablo hero female?
well, except for monk
+Lance Lindle Lee Nazeebo?
+Lance Lindle Lee i know right. like leoric, and the butcher, and Azmodan, and Diablo, and Tyrael, and Nazeebo :)
Yassirfir Dosirfem I was talking about the player characters but yeah, forgot about Nazeebo
well, xul will be male, but i dont see this much of a problem, i mean all fem diablo classes are strong in this game, and whats exactly the problem? Or just weird for people?
+Lance Lindle Lee Because there are too many male Warcraft heroes that are going to be added: Garrosh, Kel'thuzad, Grom, Khadgar, Gul'dan, Varian, Anduin, Velen etc

Yea. She looks much better now
wut's fuking wrong with u
Krystal McCloud your idiotic opinion
+Aiden L kiddo lol
that teleport maaan :D I can't wait to try her out in any way possible!!
They tried way to hard to make her girly. The wizard that I know from D3 is confident and even arrogant, but has a stance of power, not some prancing, hip swaying, over-sexed runway model garbage.
Otherwise that's my only complaint. Nailed all the signature abilities of the Wizard. Glad to see more D3 characters in the game.
Medivh was a hopeful thought on the first tweet hinting about these characters.
This makes the 16th Assassin and three in a row.
I'm really glad Xul is a Specialist, but I think he should have come out first before the two.
Can't wait to see what you guys might reveal at PAX South.
omg she looks amazing, reset on kill. flash, enourmous range omg i love her already
Slow down the video around 2:07 and you will see the most badass animation for an ability.
Can't wait to play. Quick question, what happened to hero trailers?
