2:31 no matter how far away you push genji, you can still hear him requesting healing.
truth
I N E E D H E A L I N G
Swag Man lol
And he just e's back in ezpz
''Mada mada''
Illidan, "YOU ARE NOT PRE..."
Stukov, "Nope"
*shoves Illidan across map to fountain*
Since no one did this joke...
Stukov: "No, I am prepared to go all the way".
You lived through that, i assume XD
Both ults look really fun to use, frustrating for the ones that its being used on haha
CarbotAnimations Bestfriend!!!
dank animation incoming?
More frustrating for the teammates that are gonna be denied kills because "I thought it did more dmg."
Oh, Hi Carbot :O
Its a trap
He looks fun to play, and finally an ability that pushes enemies across the whole map instead of a short distance.
It is said Genji is still being removed to this day.
MiniNinja it is said that supports still hear Genji's request for healing
MiniNinja good.
No
MiniNinja well said my son.
MiniNinja He got nerfed. Feelsbadman
Wait Stukov is not a dps, but a honest cc support with healing capacity and zoning tool?
"Heavy Support Breathing"
youre not alone
And no escape or mobility.
Most supports don't have escape or mobility though. The ones who come to mind are Lucio, Li Li, Tassadar, Kharazim and Rehgar. The ones who lack escape usually trade their survivability with heavy focus on healing (Morales) or CC (Auriel, Malfurion) so it's pretty normal stuff. Or else they'd be OP!
D7C98 "insert fap joke here"
you can say he is the strongest aoe dot hero so far. paired with a strong dps + kill securer, you should even be able to get kills vs "strong" full healers like morales or lucio/brightwing. in quickplay i would play him as a flanker that iniates team fights or saves retreating allies. my dream setup with him: cassia solo , zagara / kael'thas + etc + stucov, butcher solo
2:22
"Stukov gains a significant amount of ARMor"
...
A support hero? In my HotS? What is this madness?!
epiccraft1000 we already have one
A support hero? In my HoTS? It's more likely than you think.

Minecraft profile pic's head
*cough cough* santa picture *cough cough*
Doom the Destoryer he isnt santa...
Let's recap : I was betrayed and killed , shot into space, captured by the Zerg, resurrected and infested, cured, given to Mobius to research the Protoss cure and was instead experimented upon as the cure slowly failed. Everyone up to speed ? Good
And contacted the queen of blades 2.0 and killed the dude who experimented on me in some kinda void. Anyone need help now?
That didn't happen to you Tyrael. Lol
So sad ='[
Yeah, to say that Stukov's been through a lot is an understatement.
I wish all Supports had so much functionality in their abilities and ults. Having the base skills for slow, silence, push, damage over time, and a small burst in addition to a heal over time and a small burst heal is a lot more versatile than many supports that may have one CC and a couple types of heals.
and not so boring like lili and bw, you would have to pay me to play those scum bags
Brightwing is not boring when you know what to do with its abilities ;)
Stukov is best support
@@GiliacHeskel ok, she gets an exception.
Oh nooo :( a terrifying cigar, look away children!
Alex hahaha LOL 😂.
And remember kids: Smoking turns you into a russian zerg Monstrosity!
lol
Was about to say... can't have a cigar in game, but it's fine to have one in media associated with it? Oh Blizz... you and your double standards...
At least Stukov can have a cigar.....
the arm look amazing for trolling the enemy team
Apparently Stukov is a lefty...
Wait , so are you telling me , that my teammates that spread Kael's living bomb around , MIGHT finally be usefull?
Ender Rzvx1 Trust me, it doesn't work this way. People don't look where they're going and they'll find themselves running away from their allies with the Pathogen on them.
+Marcin Rokosz Totally agree. The pathogen will more likely come into play with Universal Carrier talent allowing Stukov himself to influence where the pathogen will go in close-quarters skirmishes. I just wonder if there are more useful talents at the same level. Most likely...
Bah, who cares about the living bomb? It's all about charging down all 4 of your allies with a pyroblast on your back.
*casually waits for Leeroy Jenkins*
LEEEEEEEEEROY
MMMJEEEEENNNNKIIIIINNNSSSSSSS
i bet most of his abilites are charges
his ult at least I had chicken makes a giant chicken fall from the sky and when it hits the ground it heals all allies but makes Leeroy attack faster and take more damage seems like something he would do.
Alex Senif Nah, that would be a regular ability (eating chicken to restore a bit of health). His ult would be spawning a ton of Rookery Whelps to hurt everyone (not just his enemies xD)
I am incredibly happy to see Stukov! I've been asking for him in my heart for so long.
A Zerg Support. My dream has finally come true!
AverageAdam missing infested minions though. Or are those his teammates? :D
Szalai don't worry everyone will be his minions in the end. His infestation will grow forever.
Meanwhile, Tassadar is crying in some corner.
LOL.
Theme teams amirite
Finally Stukov is in! Now all we need left is Kel'thuzad!
And Deathwing...and i would really like to see Hogger
And Imperius. And Fenix. And Cow King. And Cayde-6. And Deathwing.
DrScaphandre
and Grom
DrScaphandre and symmetra
Maiev Shadowsong and KT are among the most highly anticipated!
This is probably the dopest support design I've ever seen.
Farabee you haven't seen league of legends
Lucio ?
For two years people have been all "We need more supports with strong control abilities and less straight up healing. We need evil supports. We need Zerg supports." Then as soon as he comes out a fresh new crop of people are like, "Meh meh meh, I'm Trudy Beekman, MEH."
This guy looks awesome, Blizzard. Impactful and fun to play.
I absolutely love his toolkit and talents.
Sean Mullin who is Trudy beekman?
His Massive Shove looks INSANE and freaking awesome, and his usual toolkit, I'm guessing, provide considerable healing and damage effects in team fights to make up for his lack of defenses. Lurking Arm looks like a fantastic teamfight tool too. Overall, Stukov looks like he'll own in a teamfight and I can't wait to get him.
I'm glad we're getting an evil support, but it's still not KT :(
I'm on the co-op board
Can I get a robot skin for him?
With like a crane arm.... with a mechanical claw
That sounds great.
no.
With a skin like that, you'll always be Viktorious
a cyborg skin would be better
So you want Swann.?
Here! Take my strong hand!!
Zarya: Arm wrestle me.
As long as you don't use it to make my thanksgiving dinner XD
Alright! This is one of the characters I was really hoping would enter the Nexus but doubted it would was going to happen. Happy to see him and looking forward to him being in game.
*Genji dashes in for easy penta*
*Stukov presses R*
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..." to be continue
penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta penta
? The annoucer says pentaple, so penta is still the short form
@witchking20 Quintuple is 5
Cue "Roundabout"
I hear penta-kill in common usage a lot more than quintuple kill. Which I find interesting. The "penta-" prefix comes from ancient Greek, while the "quad-" prefix comes from Latin. (Nobody uses "tetra-kill," or really tetra-anything.) And triple is based on a prefix shared by Latin and ancient Greek.
This man is now my new support main. Universal Carrier is BROKEN with proper spacing.
Finally a freaking support oh my god!!!!
Weakness: Can't speak English in Allied Chat
CYKA BLYAT RUSH CORE
Не понимаю о чем ты говоришь
Alright I'm new here, but does rushing core means that running to the other side's core?
In CS:GO Russians and Eastern Europeans are reputed for embracing the strat of just running with the whole team towards the B point on Dust2 to blitzkrieg the defenders. Here its more like "CYKA BLYAT FIVE MAN PUSH MID NO STOP"
cyka!
About time another Starcraft hero is introduced
what do u meen,probius was not long ago :|
Trolling for life NEVER SOON ENOUGH
Probius is not a Starcraft hero. He's a burst mage hailing from Dalaran.
probious was like last year
He probably means a REAL SC hero, not a unit-based one lul, still, he probably meant the following = about time A SUPPORT hero was introduced (especially a non-wow of the kind) :D
as soon as I saw that arm I thought of akira
"TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
same!
KANEDAAAAAAAA!!!!
now you''re just asking for skin based on akira
For units creation there's already Zagara, Azmodan, Gazlöwe, Probius and so on, so I like the way they took, looks original and promising, like Alarak for example it'd be possible to make hot plays which is exciting.
He'd be a neat character to team up with Zenyatta, whenever he comes out
Still waiting, huh
Gotta make a playlist for playing Stukov.
*adds the Soviet anthem*

Support? he he he now we can check
Eh the Protoss bros are better. Brotoss 4 life.
I will agree only because we have Q. Beyond that the Protoss can pike off and make room for our glorious true son of Terra. Not those poser Terrans that weren't even BORN there!
FOR THE SSSWARM
LUL
Zerg support? but we've had aba for a while now. Kappa. Also anyone else think Flailing Swipe looks like giant paint brush strokes? Stukov just bob ross-ing people left and right
Yettee0201 lool
Kaggykoo You called?
"And here we ahave a happy little Zergling eating a happy little marine alive."
why is this so low?
Yettee0201 he's beating the devil out of them.
Blizz got really creative with this character. Can't wait to see him!
Stukov announcer please.
Excited on Stukov and Zarya interactions as they are both Russians!
That's like saying you expect an interaction between 2 black characters..
Completeboredom 123 wat.
Traxium cuz in Soviet Russia russuian speaks only with Russians!
Completeboredom 123 that's a stupid comparison.
+Completeboredom 123 Not at all. Zarya is a russian person living in OW universe which is in ONE potential future for their country, while Stukov is from SC universe which is another potential future Russia. Two people from different futures of the same country having a conversation would be interesting regardless of the country.
"Healing pathogen"?
Wait, what?
Don't forget that most people don't even know what a pathogen is exactly.
oxymoron
Zerg mutate all other forms of life, why not pathogens too.
Because a pathogen is a broad definition for microbiological life that can cause harm or disease ;) A pathogen cannot heal its host by definition, else it would not be called a pathogen.
well i guess it has "healing" in it so ... hey ! why not then xD
Battlecruiser Operational
You added one of my favorite characters and made him a support.... THANK YOU!!!!
im just waiting for those kelthuzad comments
Nah, hots got Stukov, best not to complain now, they(blizz) might be paying attention after all!
Evil Support but it's still not KT omg riot why
weeaboo filth.
Aggressive and a healer.... awwwwwwwww yeah!!!!
You should try Kharazim...
Javin Zipkin karazhim was my first healer I really enjoyed. And the patches made him a bit different but still good. then I switched to auriel because the mana never runs out. I could always be fighting and healing but I wanted something slighty different after all those weeks of auriel and kara. stukov will fit right Into my play style.
Do you have a minute to talk about our Lord and Saviour, the all-aggressive-mobile-CC'er-healer Rehgar Earthfury?
New main confirmed.
A Blizzard Game with all of their game characters in one game...
*HEAVEN*
3:55 Wait. Gazlowe loses his pants when he dies?
I was happier when I didn't notice.
Very pleased on the characters Blizzard has been choosing for HOTS. Almost half of my recommended list from a year ago is now in the game. The only ones left I would like to see in game are
1. Deathwing
2. Tychondrias
3. Mephisto
4. Bael
5. Imperious
6. Kel'thuzard
7. Grom Hellscream
8. Fenix (Dragoon, not Talendar)
9. Kiljaeden or Archemond
10. Lady Vashj
Fenix, Kel'Thuzad, Imperius, Deathwing and Mephisto are now in the Nexus. Tichondrius has been supplanted by Mal'Ganis, and Grom with Garrosh.
i love his pirate skin! :3
The Alexander Rise again !!!
Aleksander :)
yeah , what ever :)
amin ghasemi He is Alexei, lol
Adûnâi I'm Russian, the correct form is Alexey)
For the Swarm!!!
Finally another support.
ive only been playing for about 6 months but honest to god i am so stoked for this support
Always knew it was only a matter of time before Stukov made his appearance. I can see this guy being useful.
4:22. Medivh, for the love of Tirisfall, you can shield and portal. COME ON!
He can also 1v1 pretty much any hero if he's stacked his Q
psst HE IS SILENCED for 2 s after he droped D so NO he cannot
Still could before the fact. If Stukov running to the middle of that gap then that Medivh had at least a good second to do something.
Do what? He was slapped to death by Stukov's massive arm before the silence and massive slow effect was removed lol
If you were listening at all he is silenced.
Dugalle must be proud
Du'Galle is dead man!
Lolzor he is not
He was, until HOTS decided he wasn't. And in the Nexus it doesn't matter, as we can see by the fact that Tychus, Big D, Malthael, Varian, and so on are around.
It'd be awesome if these videos had captions/subtitles so the deaf and hard of hearing could enjoy them as well.
Big McLargehuge they add it later
Awesome!
its been so long and now we finally have it.STUKOV!
The visuals on both ults are just stunningly good!!
i like this Stukov, but is it only me, or has he hit the Gym? he is so big, seems like his arm is 3 time bigger and his upper body has been pumped up to thycus levels of buffness. seems like he has a case of WoW sicness, may have side effects of giant hands, huge torso and sholders.
wowolema well, he took up the Tychus Findlay's Bust Yo A$$ Routine...
ofc. he needs to get redy for the beach season.
He eats a lot of protein
That is LOOOONG arm. :'D
I would say It's the long arm of the law, but I don't really find Stikov to be lawful.
who is Stikov? x_x
THe longgggg reach around i guess lol
You know what they say about long arms?
For the swarm!
The swipe ultimate animation is extremely good looking well done on that
Stukov's having more fun being Zerg than Human :D
YES CAN'T WAIT
Full Zerg team HYPE! ( KERRIGAN, DEHAKA, ABATHUR, ZAGARA and STUKOV)
I'm glad you guys talked more about some of the cool talents he has this time... Not so keen on the fact that heroes are coming out with only one alternate skin now... and no, more color variations doesn't make up for it.
ScorchHellfire What? I can't remember any heroes coming out with more then one alternate skin.
Vulcan since Malthael release, "Master" skins; upgraded versions of the default skins, were absent. This would be the second time.
Wait, what do you mean? Malthael has a master skin, doesn't he?
I was thinking of Stukov and how cool it would be to have him in the Nexus.. This looks amazing!
THIS IS THE BEST SUPPORT I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE
"solo support"
wat
Basically their way of saying he's strong enough to heal a team on his own. There's a few characters now that while tagged with support no longer have the raw healing output needed to do that.
I think hes saying wat because his healing is clearly not strong enough for that.
Looks fairly sizeable at 1:32 when combo'd with the kill switch. We'll need to see him in action I think to see what talents boost it and what cooldown things have.
He's a strong, independent healer that don't need no teammates!
he can heal an entire team alone, also he can solo a lane and go 1v1 and be fine
That lurking arm looks like it would ruin minions and push waves fast.
I did not expect him to be a support tbh
Me neither but it seems he is kind of a Tyrande/Tassadar support. Mainly utility and debuffs not healing focused. I think his damage will be pretty high too but I have no way of knowing yet, it's just that they said his melee is powerful which I assume means his auto-attacks ain't exactly a classical support style.
back to fountain you go
FINALLY a new support been waiting AGES for this.
The first support hero i actually cant wait to play as, he might become my new favourite
he brings a whole new meaning for zerg russian.
Good to see another support character beeing added :)
But i still would like to see Mylune as a support :D
offline65 Well I would rather have Mylune as support than Lunara as assassin
Lunara is fun to play :)
Top tier for me at least :D
offline65 Lunara is not fun to play, she is dishonorable and disgraceful to play
I want a "Battlecruiser operational" voiceline!
Looks like a pretty cool twist to Zenyatta's skills
Giving you the warms of the winter today
STUKOV! YES! FOOOOR THE SWARM!
THE ZERG SUPPORT IS HERE! WE CAN HAVE A FULL EFFICENT ZERG TEAM! (That Shove abbility will be so hilarious)
I can't wait. He is soo cool!
(also, FIRST!)
Tnecniw Also, not first bro
2:31 , seems balanced to me.
To be fair that looked a bit ridiculous, but fun at the same time
Ma'Rakha we don't know if he stays vulnerable while casting this or if damage iterrupts the push. so maybe you could easily kill him while he pushes people.
Don't forget he's standing there doing nothing while he does it.
It also only works in a middle lane where the walls and towers are already destroyed, which means it's a very rare situation indeed.
he stands still and any CC will cancel the ult
He'll be the new 1st banned.
Being able to force a 5v4 is pretty good in open maps.
Joshua Hurt I'm still banning malthael
Wow, didn't think I'd be this excited for the new character. Looks like a real game-changer.
That extendo arm push is the funniest thing I have seen in awhile
he needs an "Infested Wesker" skin.
also William Birkin first form from resident evil 2 lol.
Are you sure he doesn't have the ability to switch to an assassin or something? I didn't know there were other class types in HoTS anymore...
Endyo he does do like 350-500 ish melee dmg level one....
( *Davy Jones Hero Spotlight* )
I just love these "fiddler crab" type characters who's superpower is one arm bigger then the other.Its just so cool.
That massive shove looks amazing! Gonna cause so many angry outbursts!
AKIRA SKIN WHEN?
Who?
He means the anime.
Yeah sorry, I meant Tetsuo
skin? seriously? A SKIN???
Izumi from parasyte would also be pretty good
humm lot's of WoW skin possibility
Scourged Stukov obviously
Sha possessed Stukov, this seems like it would be the best
Iron Horde Stukov with a giant Iron Horde furnace arm
Classic elder god bullshit could also work for this
They could also make him one of those centipede armed demon from Diablo
Sha Stukov sounds awesome
A Sha themed skin would be awesome
His E is clearly inspired by centipedes from diablo Ahaha
Old One skin from Warcraft
We need Stalin Stukov skin!
OMG!! Me encanta
I didn't know how much i wanted this until I saw it
Its been what I have been waiting for all this time!
2:18 gomu gomu no pistol xD
don't even start with the kt jokes stukov is a highly wanted hero and it is a support; best hero release since the last 5 heroes
Never heard of him tbh
CreativeUsernameEh It's literally impossible to beat Heart of the Swarm without encountering Stukov
number of ppl who played any other blizz game > number of ppl who even bought heart of the swarm let alone played the whole thing
Ausdasis Then it's their own fault they've never heard of Stukov. Makes him no less popular.
Ausdasis Also, don't make dumb comments like 'never heard of him tbh' if you don't play the games his universe is from. Common sense.
A Starcraft hero I actually want to play, excellent.
Great to see the game getting a Zerg support hero, or just a support hero in general
Finally! Something fresh! And better yet it is a Support and not another assassin! THANKS BLIZZ
Kil'jaden looks a little sick
Diablols got their Malthael
Starcraftz got stokvu
can we get Kelthsosad next?
Vikings also need Hero.
Never you havent earnt him
Waiting for Rock'N'Roll Racing heroes too
pronounce his name right and we might get him.
you mean spell.
Is the arm for real? goes until hits an object. TROLLS COMING! lol
they need to make a game mode only of him
well in most cases there isn't enough space for it to go too far
probably gonna be a brawl match
Neat, I'm already interested how conversations between him and Abathur will be at the start of a Match.
Ooooh boy I'm definitely getting Stukov once he's released.
