As a 5 year old making my way cautiously thru the Catacombs of Diablo 1, encountering The Butcher in that god-awful blood spattered, body littered entrail filled room and running for my mortal soul as he declared me "FRESH MEAT" was the fuel for my very first nightmare in life. 12/10, would play/experience again
i had the same experience when i was playing diablo 1 with 9 years old, i was always afraid to open the door knowing what was in the other side.... one day i pause the game and my older brother opened the door and pause the game again... when i start playing and i saw him screaming fresh meat (because my old brother put the volume of the TV at max to scare me....) i start crying and running away from him trying to reach the stairs to go up to tristam again....
For all these people that keep saying : ''Butcher looks like Sion, Blizz stop copy paste lol heroes ffs'' Butcher is from Diablo and he was out long before Sion's rework. That includes most of his skills, go check the boss fight from Diablo 3.
first of all butcher comes from diablo 1 a game maded in 98/99 if i am not wrong! and other thing.... League of Losers was created by warcraft people that use to work in blizzard company so that from being say the boss guy in that league of losers game was invited to help create Heros of the storm! so there is no *stealing ideads from other games* lol! Butcher was created long time ago, helf of the retarded kids that play league of losers wasant born when butcher walk tristam lol
@@eltonazevedo1361 >league of losers Lmao kid detected Not saying LoL copied Blizz or disagreeing with the original comment but you're just being a dumbass lmao based af
I'm surprised people are still accusing Blizz of making unoriginal heroes. Guys, Dota was inspired by Warcraft and even used their engine. You can't say Blizz is ripping off anyone but themselves.
Butcher is still my favorite assassin. Late game if you've gathered the necessary meat stacks he's an absolute terror requiring 2 or more to bring him down.
The Butcher made a cameo in WC3 The Frozen Throne during the invasion of the black temple in the "Human" campaign, he even had a sound bite where when you enter his kitchen he will say "Ah, Fresh Meat" which was used for Pudge in the DotA mod for his ultimate.
Wilion109 ..they took away his unstoppable on q nerfed his metamorphosis damage to 10% of what it was. decreased its explosion radius and removed unstoppable with w with unbound...pretty sure he can be countered now
Veinaru71 Are you guys kidding me? Im playing illidan all time and i still feel very strong. Metamorphosis was never about initial damage anyways, its about temporary hp for TF and attack speed. BTW its imposible for johanna to kill a proper illidan player.
Valvax4500 yeah despite china being full of ghouls they don't like looking at dead things, league had a problem with karthus and yorick having the champs reskinned for the chinese version.
***** "Everything in Dota is a derivative from the Warcraft universe." That comment just showed how little you know of Dota's history. Skeleton King(Wraith King) - King Leoric from Diablo 1 and Diablo 3 Buriza(Deadalus) - Buriza-Do Kyanon is a unique Ballista in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Pudge - Butcher from Diablo 1 and 3 Need I go on?
Zergskorpyon Brood some people like me, just wants to see the world burn Kappa Btw I played dota back than and now I play both HotS and Dota 2 so don't get mad buddy, funny troll is funny 4Head Kappa
mephisto with his very deadly skills as an assassin and the necromancer with his bone skills or summon skills as a specialist. Baal would be cool too, but i think a map in the chamebr of the soulstone with an baal event with his tentacles would be awesome too
Another tip I would give is to not carge into Assassins with escape abilities, like Zeratul, Falstad and maybe even Valla, since they can punish you by reacting quickly to lead you into a trap. Only charge these heroes when you are sure that their escape abilities are on cooldown.
Did they remove the size gain on Fresh Meat? Aw. I see a lot of Lamb to the Slaughter for comeptitive games, but the pubstomps will all be Furnace -> Charge.
FourCourtJester I see the difficulty of the delay to well place Lamb to the Slaughter. You probably need to work with stuns to choose the right victim.
"ololo sion ripoff" butcher and his signature skills came with D3 in 2012. New Sion was released 2014. butchers and his lore exists since 1996. Sion came 2009. So if anyone here is a rip off then it is Sion.
He seems real cool. His skill set seems to be similar to the skeleton king dude though. Q = slow, W = mark a target to heal, E = charge/movement. Heroics look real cool though. And their traits seem to be unique too. Just wondering how they'll match up or if its just better to pick one over the other. But we ALL are looking forward to ONE thing. More heroes. Plain and simple.
Grab all of his healing skills/talents. One is that fresh meat will heal and other ones as well. Pick damage over range when you get to that, remember you can survive battles so getting up and personal is not a problem, quicker you can deal dmg (and heal yourself while stacking fresh meat) you can end battles before they begin. This also, means more control you have over the enemy. Where they have to double guard the butcher, frees a teammate to do as they please without worrying about a hero riding them. An additional option is to make the butcher tough, so opponents will want to double guard the butcher, make the butcher APPEAR alone, your teammate will be nearby. Your teammate will hop in if the 2 on 1 battle is not doing so well. This is what some would call "bait and switch".
NADYN Yeah, they definitely used similar animations or something, because his overall expression and face looks very similar to Garrosh, specifically at 0:44
A skillshot slowing q, unstoppable charge, scaling ability from kills, detonating dmg around him and a nice ol bulky body... Im talking about sion of course :P
I really want to play this Hero. I'm more of a "Hey I'm going to go blow up these buildings, see ya." team mate. I need to practice more with Melee. I have been with other Heroes but there's just something fun about the idea of being a giant demon charging at people with a cleaver. Also I keep thinking of Rammsteins song "Mein Teil" so now I pretty much have to play him since they're my fav band if the name I'm using wasn't obvious enough.
Seems interesting for sure. a high burst assassin with a lot of life steal and power with some cool CC on he's ult. I feel like if you just kite him or your a caster then their will be no problem in killing him. good characters against the butcher will probably be, jaina, kelthas, valla, falstad, tassadar, slv, zertual. in my opinion.
the butcher is fairly op, you want to try to get a global presence to get alot of meat face, if you get low hamstring is a great getaway, be wary of marking mobile heros with the charge, cancle if they go into a fort or to the back of their team, maps like dragon shrine are best so you can body block escapes while you wait for cooldowns, hamstring recharges fast so use it liberally. aslong as toy hit the soft stack cap for meat you are pretty much able to kill anything, but try to focus low health heros as a single charge brand string combo can bring alot of them down
The Butcher is cool, but he as well as other hereos are missing some heavy soundeffects. For example when they move you can't hear them trample, you don't hear their weight. Same goes for several attacks and spells. When you hit someone, it doesn't feel like there is a logical amount of weight and power behind it. Additionally, some movements/motions in the game feel so static or too quick which diminishes the weight and power of heroes. When The Butcher "cuts his throat" it looks halfhearted - he should make it slowly, otherwise it looks as if he was made of paper. Another example is Diablo; when he walks, there is no sound representing his weight and power. Hope that helps.
Oh, they made the "meat" look like a falling drop of blood. Great attention to detail, Blizzard! Edit: just in case the sarcasm goes unnoticed, I would appreciate it if the meat looked like the muscular tissue of a living being opposed to the oxygen bearing liquid that runs through vascular tissue.
Amg, wasn't planning on buying this dude but after this video i don't know, he seems really nice. Hopefully he'll have some nice talents and we're set.
The Butcher can leave his brand on me whenever he wants. :3
MFPallytime I would leave my brand on you, too...
MFPallytime He can have my fresh meat anytime ;)
MFPallytime ohh you made this 3 mins ago, sweet
MFPallytime no! bad pallytime! bad! go make a tyrael video meow!!
MFPallytime hey pallytime, do you know if the EU servers are getting the butcher tomorrow or on Wednesday?

Axe? Sickle? IT IS A CLEAVER AND A MEAT HOOK.
You just gave me the best skin idea.
In one costume its a cleaver and a pizza wheel
Needs a skin where people drop candy instead of meat.
WeAreMovieMakers or a baker's skin where they drop cookies!
Backwards day and have it completely vegetable and fruit related :D
whushaw
Or just be a gardener.
Or a bear and they drop honey
Years after still no candy meet

***** Eh... I will be skeptical until it happens. Blizzard is wonderful but they also often get in over their heads.
TeamOmega27 lol DOTA was a mod of Warcraft. It HAD to use blizzard heroes.
I know that. I was simply telling people that the heroes in HotS are from Blizzard games, not Dota. :)
TeamOmega27 Yeah! Correct.
And if we're going to get really technical about it DotA is a rip of Aeon of Strife, which was a SC mod.
MEAT GOOD, VEGETABLES BAD!
David Henchman meat WITH vegetables is BEST.

David Henchman ZOMBIE FLESH GOOD, HUMAN FLESH BETTER!
Cool Side of the Pillow
Pfft, you can't have a proper steak dinner without taters....precious.
lavafoxx what's taters eh precious, what's taters huh?!
Really looking forward to playing the Butcher. Soon!
Awesome character design, lore and artistic work at the backstory. I'm really surprised and hyped, nice work.
Butcher is still my favorite assassin. Late game if you've gathered the necessary meat stacks he's an absolute terror requiring 2 or more to bring him down.
Can you still kill him by trapping him on some stairs?
EndlessVacuum just a few persons will get this haha :D
EndlessVacuum That a Diablo 1 reference? Never played it. I'm just asuming hence I found out from other comments that he's from DIablo 1. :D
Dr Boom Did he learn to open doors tho? :D
EndlessVacuum Just buy the warhammer from Griswald and stunlock him. :)
The Butcher - how vegans see meat eaters.
Especially peta or extreme vegans

Oh man... they keep trying to show Ilidan can be countered...
Wilion109 he can be, i was destroying him a johanna yesterday.
Wilion109 ..they took away his unstoppable on q nerfed his metamorphosis damage to 10% of what it was. decreased its explosion radius and removed unstoppable with w with unbound...pretty sure he can be countered now
Veinaru71 so they took what was unique about the hero just for balance sake... smooth...
Wilion109 ikr... truly sad but yea not much you can do...they changed my faves so much lol. illidan etc....and johanna 2 borng 2 play
Veinaru71 Are you guys kidding me? Im playing illidan all time and i still feel very strong. Metamorphosis was never about initial damage anyways, its about temporary hp for TF and attack speed. BTW its imposible for johanna to kill a proper illidan player.
Another melee assassin... hehehe... can't wait to get my hands on him tomorrow :)
AverageAdam its coming out tomorow!!?!? :O
Valvax4500 Yes!
omgomgomgomgomg *fangirling mode engaged* !
Yes, Big Patch tomorrow. Balance Changes, The Butcher and Battlefield of Eternity Map. All coming out tomorrow.
AverageAdam tomorow??? HYPE!!
Why did you change fresh meat pick-up icon? Earlier it was a piece of meat which made sense, now its some random drop of blood.
polterghost Probably same reason Cigar was removed. Chinese version isn't allowed to show bones either.
Indianoric vvvones wow really??
Valvax4500 yeah despite china being full of ghouls they don't like looking at dead things, league had a problem with karthus and yorick having the champs reskinned for the chinese version.

Valvax4500 no, that's totalitarianism
1:39 That sound made me Alt- Tab to my HOTS... Gawd fell for that one hhaa
dragon501000 SAME
A very nice, well made video!
He looks a lot of fun. Almost in the same vein as Thrall, no attacks, no healing.
Freash meat. Pudge confirmed Kappa 4Head
Pudge is based off butcher
***** Actually Pudge is based off of the abominations in World of Warcraft. Everything in Dota is a derivative from the Warcraft universe.

Will you announce Imperius & Mephisto soon, Blizzard?
pls blizz mephisto and the necromancer
Guilty n0x Dont forget about Baal
Remus88Romulus Need Imperius!
mephisto with his very deadly skills as an assassin and the necromancer with his bone skills or summon skills as a specialist.
Baal would be cool too, but i think a map in the chamebr of the soulstone with an baal event with his tentacles would be awesome too
Guilty n0x Baal... As a shapeshifter? Turn into looking like any hero on the battlefield to confuse the opponents?
Another tip I would give is to not carge into Assassins with escape abilities, like Zeratul, Falstad and maybe even Valla, since they can punish you by reacting quickly to lead you into a trap. Only charge these heroes when you are sure that their escape abilities are on cooldown.
FRESH MEAT!
Remus I forget how old I was when Diablo 1 came out. Young enough to pee myself when I opened that door though...
KingWillie1984 and.. well..... did you?
Dota 2 pudge reference
Did they remove the size gain on Fresh Meat? Aw. I see a lot of Lamb to the Slaughter for comeptitive games, but the pubstomps will all be Furnace -> Charge.
FourCourtJester I see the difficulty of the delay to well place Lamb to the Slaughter. You probably need to work with stuns to choose the right victim.
FourCourtJester I don't see furnace ever being taken.
FourCourtJester i dont see lamb to the slaughter being effective before 20
cooldeadpunk777 Ult combos.
Well this didn’t age well
awesome! this was the first diablo villain that actually scared me as a child, his catch phrase always had me running when I soloed XD
1:48 SWIGGITY SWOOTY I WANT THAT MALFURION BOOTY
Butcher seems to be pretty well balanced
This hero is so ugly, however he's nice :D
flowz The Butcher does not play nice!
flowz demons should be ugly. especially a demon made out of other demons
CheeseFromOuterSpace Leah is pretty, despite she is technically not a complete demon
CheeseFromOuterSpace But what if he was made out of succubi parts?
Shadow lord that would be a incubi friend.
Now give me the oldschool butcher skin :)
"ololo sion ripoff"
butcher and his signature skills came with D3 in 2012. New Sion was released 2014.
butchers and his lore exists since 1996. Sion came 2009.
So if anyone here is a rip off then it is Sion.
DH Who is sion?
LoL as a whole is a rip-off.
He seems real cool. His skill set seems to be similar to the skeleton king dude though. Q = slow, W = mark a target to heal, E = charge/movement. Heroics look real cool though. And their traits seem to be unique too. Just wondering how they'll match up or if its just better to pick one over the other. But we ALL are looking forward to ONE thing. More heroes. Plain and simple.
Ruthless onslaught can turn corners 3:00 :)
yeah you just choose the target and he ll auto pilot to them
Mirza Ajanovic because while he is charging he is unstopable
I cannot WAIT to top hat this guy as Abathur!
The Butcher + Stitches = Sewed Up Buddies! (PS. Please release plushies of both)
I was expected Butcher be tank not a assassin...
LoDrAkK/// there is a lot of tanks from Diablo. Melee assassin wasn't there. I am expecting Skeleton King as melee specialist from same reason
BrutusMira I think they already confirmed Leoric as a warrior. Unsure. Monk is supposed to be a support.
Daniel Milligan Yep, Leoric will be a melee warrior, his trait and heroics have been announced aswell.
LoDrAkK/// Why? Only because he is fat? xd
Yay, now I get to play Sion in Heroes
Oh hi there Sion!
Bro bring this game back to life plz ty.
Wow Blizz nailed on what makes the Butcher, Butcher. GG
Oh. Hello Sion.
Butcher is going to be ridiculous
He is Sadistic! He's Maniac!
Abdullah the Butcher liked this!
i suggest at level 16 with the butcher to take the blood frenzy talent as it also gives you +1% att speed for each fresh meat
Oh, how much he’s changed.
Grab all of his healing skills/talents. One is that fresh meat will heal and other ones as well. Pick damage over range when you get to that, remember you can survive battles so getting up and personal is not a problem, quicker you can deal dmg (and heal yourself while stacking fresh meat) you can end battles before they begin.

Your teammate will hop in if the 2 on 1 battle is not doing so well. This is what some would call "bait and switch".
So glad its a melee assassin, one of my strongest classes and then a new tank coming out soon as well gets me pumped! Cant wait!
Zombie flesh good, human flesh better
TheMikesc15 He eats zombie flesh as well? Gross.
I don't know... but his face reminds me about Garrosh Hellscream...
Das racist!
NADYN Yeah, they definitely used similar animations or something, because his overall expression and face looks very similar to Garrosh, specifically at 0:44
NADYN and every orc ever in Warlords of Draenor.
+NADYN Not the olyone
His voice got deeper. I like that
Stitchs + The Butcher = Gang SQUAD CONFIRMED ??!
the Butcher is awesome villain
Wow 5 years ago I remember when he first came out
A skillshot slowing q, unstoppable charge, scaling ability from kills, detonating dmg around him and a nice ol bulky body...
Im talking about sion of course :P
Jacodaify Butcher was around before SIon.
Eul and the rest of the allstar team is probably working some dead-end job while Guinsoo and Icefrog are laughing all the way to the bank...
R.I.P. Illidan
These videos are really good.
Fresh meat is going to make him really fun to play.
The music sounds like Urzael's theme. I hope he eventually makes an appearance.
Oh god, THIS is a champion! I'm feeling it!
0:18 Cain confirmed
Indeed. Literally confirmed.
All his moves I remember them when playing agianst him I can't wait to play this guy!
I really want to play this Hero. I'm more of a "Hey I'm going to go blow up these buildings, see ya." team mate. I need to practice more with Melee.

I can't wait to get some Murky Meat for my Butcher!
spiderprime
that is right murky needs to not get killed by the butcher too much
so The Butcher=Murky bane
spiderprime And Lost Vikings.
Olav Lomeland
True too true
they're quick respawn rate and the fact that there are three of them means lots of fresh meat
JackX0098 nova is the murkeys bane
trust me i know
JackX0098 they don't respawn quickly anymore, they have been redesigned by quite a bit in this patch and probably won't be picked much anymore.
lol lambs to the slaughter! love the noise.
The Butcher of Blaviken.. oh wait nvm -_-
Cool Sion rework!
Seems interesting for sure. a high burst assassin with a lot of life steal and power with some cool CC on he's ult. I feel like if you just kite him or your a caster then their will be no problem in killing him. good characters against the butcher will probably be, jaina, kelthas, valla, falstad, tassadar, slv, zertual. in my opinion.
Easiest Moba on the market keeps getting easier. Sick.
Well it looks like he is going to be a very fun hero. I really like the charge ability, it will be great for team fights.
the butcher is fairly op, you want to try to get a global presence to get alot of meat face, if you get low hamstring is a great getaway, be wary of marking mobile heros with the charge, cancle if they go into a fort or to the back of their team, maps like dragon shrine are best so you can body block escapes while you wait for cooldowns, hamstring recharges fast so use it liberally. aslong as toy hit the soft stack cap for meat you are pretty much able to kill anything, but try to focus low health heros as a single charge brand string combo can bring alot of them down
The Fresh Meat icons should be little slices of actual meat.
LET THE "NERF BUTCHER" BEGIN TOMORROW IN THE FORUMS!
Roadhog: Imma just take that.
Butcher was so easy in Diablo 3
Butcher HYPE
this guy ult reminds me of the movie valhalla rising, love it :D
mr deckard cain sounds super creepy in this video
Looks like he is going to be a tough one...
Omer Majid Illidan doesn't feel too good about this one
not anyone...no one can stop death
im sold
im downloading this now :D
Denn du bist, was du isst
Und ihr wisst, was es ist
Es ist mein Teil!
Butcher OP, please do NOT nerf.
lamb to the slaughter plus DVa self destruct
wonder how long to leoric comes out
MoXfy Milling He's all I'm interested in as well.
MoXfy Milling About 3 or 4 weeks after tomorrow :)
MoXfy Milling 3 weeks after. If they continue the trend they announced some weeks agos. new hero every 3 weeks.
MoXfy Milling The King arrives when he deems us lowly peasents worth hes time.
Which means the monk is coming out in 6 weeks... That is a long wait
The Butcher is cool, but he as well as other hereos are missing some heavy soundeffects. For example when they move you can't hear them trample, you don't hear their weight. Same goes for several attacks and spells. When you hit someone, it doesn't feel like there is a logical amount of weight and power behind it.

I'm waiting for Gul'Dan
Where is hook? I came here for Hooks.
Is that...a LEGO butcher?
Well now I have to het the butcher it seems.
FRESH MEAT! THAT'S KAWAII
he is hella spooky
Still want to see Deathwing or really any of the leaders of the Dragon Aspects. Blizzard heed my prayers.
Oh, they made the "meat" look like a falling drop of blood. Great attention to detail, Blizzard!
Edit: just in case the sarcasm goes unnoticed, I would appreciate it if the meat looked like the muscular tissue of a living being opposed to the oxygen bearing liquid that runs through vascular tissue.
NoMassamusic They cant..because China. There was a point in the Alpha where minions actually bled, too.
at first i thought this was a diablo looking skin for stiches.
"It will increase his attack damage PERMANENTLY.. until he dies."
"Permanently..... until he dies" that's not permanently silly
This looks like my kind of assassin! Can't wait.. Also, i see a new map.. will this be introduced with the Butcher?
YES! Butcher - Pudge, a hook but use to SLOW NOT PULL ENEMY TOWARD BUTCHER.
yeah, now, we dropped these "amazing" hook!
And it moves to Stitches!!!!
Quy Tran Manh Stitches and The butcher existed first.
Amg, wasn't planning on buying this dude but after this video i don't know, he seems really nice. Hopefully he'll have some nice talents and we're set.
wooow nice! Looking forward to that hero!
