Awesome design and all, but I miss the old WC3 voice. It was more menacing and had an echo that is hard to describe but I think anyone who's played WC3 can understand what I mean. Still awesome though :)
Kinda my reaction. I understand that (not having played WoW for various ever-changing reasons) his kit's more based on the WoW style, but the loss of Classic War3 voice for something that's Lazy Alucard in tone does seem like a hit of quality.

I can't wait for youtube highlights of tard Mal'ganis's.. Mal'gani.. whatevers blindly lunging around thinking they are helping while the enemy team watches and laughs from the other side of the screen.
The usually drop turds though like wow's GCD changes, Azerite armor, Wow mobile edition's double time gate-rep gate combo and Warlords of Azeroth's tank design as a whole
Now this... is what I call a champion of champions. Not only is his character model drawn exceptionally well but his core abilities are amazing. Even his talents are creative and awesome. If more heroes could be made like this I would come back to this game in a heartbeat. Beautiful Hero, well done.
Well, intelligent doesn't mean omniscient, right? At least they are some of the more intelligent members of the legion, I mean, in comparison? :D But it is true that its not the only time a Dreadlords got duped...
He got away fine. In fact of all the Nerazim, Mal'ganis is still alive. Ok, when I say he got away, yes he did die, but as he is a demon it wasn't permanent.
"Darkness called... but I was on the phone, so I missed it. I tried to *69-Darkness, but his machine picked up. I yelled: 'PICK UP THE PHONE, DARKNESS!', but he ignored me. Darkness must have been screening his calls..."
enough Warcraft already... it's supposed to represent all Blizzard games, not only WoW. And enough Assassins as we're at it. The meme Assassins of the Storm has lived long enough.
I don't like the look and animations as a whole. They turned him into this big hulking meathead. Dreadlords were the agility hero and were all about guile and manipulation not physical dominance. Even the way the moved in WC3, they were fairly lean/lithe and had a bounce in their step. They didn't lumber forward like a walking tree.
just a regular tank with mediocre skills and creeplike dmg... why to heck would someone even think about a nerf? And if you're talking about his 2nd ulti, I guess you have no idea who Terrorblade is or how he casts it like in 2 meters range?
Why peopel always ban every single new or reworked hero, even when they are really weak? Because most players of hots are 1) casual 2) stupid and really don't like adapt to any changes.
But there are already a few vision-darkening effects and this has never really been a proper argument toward them. Dehaka's one ult, for instance. Also looking at another person's screen would leave you open and the skill has a window of 6 seconds. You would have to be on some serious next-level clawing to make it all work out.
@@SoffiodiFiamme I didn't say I liked it I just said that I think his facial expression is on point. ;-) I would have also preferred a WC3 Mal'Ganis but just like Doomguy in Smash some things just aren't meant to happen.
Eh. Preferred the Warcraft 3 looks to the WoW one. Did a great job with Kael'thas, could've given Mal'ganis the same treatment. Still though, dreadlord, yay! :D
I would say this version is neither WoW nor Warcraft 3. Especially considering the original WoW dreadlord model was heavily based on the Warcraft 3 one. For this version, the armor almost looks like Archimonde's with those bulky shoulder pads and all the skull motifs. Because of the size of the shoulders, he looks more top heavy than dreadlords usually do. Also, the face looks different than usual dreadlord models and the lips are no longer sunken in and wrinkled like they are usually portrayed. I can understand wanting to update his look to make him look beefier and more imposing, but I agree that they should've stuck to what they did with Kael'thas and Anub'arak and make him look more like his Warcraft 3 self. Hopefully they'll do what they did with Illidan and give him a skin to make him look like the Warcraft 3 version. At least they didn't give him the giant mutton chops of the second WoW dreadlord model.
after Mephisto.... ehm i dunno... this design changes, i hope they'd just update 'em with available artworks and not just give a new look just bcoz(hots base version)
this is just how hots works, they have a different artwork than the other games, yes most of them look quite identical but they still have their own niche
Yes and no. It's only effective if you use it while on low health, in which case you can get sniped by anyone with decent burst damage. Also the cast seems to be 1 second, so it will be rather easy to counter with a stun. It seems like it will make him really mean in 1v1 lanes, though. He can just use his opponent as a health pack and it will be harder to counter if he initiates with it.
That's not going to happen for quite some time - if ever. Re-doing Arthas' model to look better would also require redoing all of his skins because they would have to completely rework the structure of his 3D model. Doing that would take about the same amount of work as creating two new heroes or making new skins for other heroes.
Draeckon remodeling an already structured skeleton would take the same amount of time as designing two new heroes from the ground up, who have no builds, no talents, no skeleton, no skins, and no animation? Highly doubt that
Just in case that memory fails: in Warcraft 3, Mal Ganis did not had the Infernal as fourth ability. His ultimate was Soul Preservation (sends undead unit to the "nether-realm"). The Infernal belongs to the Dread Lord heroic unit that we used to play on regular games/ matches (Death Knight/ Dread Lord/ Lich/ Crypt Lord). So, yes, hard to believe but... they nailed a W3 hero, maybe there will be not more melee Thralls or weird Lich Kings in the future. Fingers Crossed.

OMFG YES. BLIZZ I LOVE YOU. Like, you messed up mephisto's model, but everything else reciently has been spot-on. I was honestly thinking you'd Add valimathras as your dreadlord because of his presence in WoW, but I love how you decided to give a shout-out to us who played your classic games and added Mal'Ganis instead! Amazing job!
I would argue otherwise. I remember Mal'ganis way better than I ever have Tichondrius or Varimathras (I don't even remember him at all? I assume he's just in WoW). Then again, I suppose it may be because I never played WoW.
@@Draeckon That is because you don't remember the campaigns well enough... you'll see mal'ganis mostly does stuff with arthas however the other two dreadlords are shown beyond that point every time they're mentioned.
Mal'Ganis plays a massive role in the beginning of Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, as he is the main antagonist during most of the human campaign, which is usually remembered better, as it is both the first campaign and the one portraying Arthas' corruption. Tichondrius plays a semi-important role in the undead and night elf campaign during Reign of Chaos and has a small cameo in the orc campaign. He is however a lot less active in the open, as he mostly just tells other people what to do and only becomes more active during the night elf campaign, which is the last campaign and thus not as well remembered. Varimathras was never even a character before Frozen Throne, where he mostly played a rather unwilling sidekick to Sylvanas, which he proceded to do until the events of the Wrathgate, where he became somewhat important. After that, he showed no sign of himself until Legion, where he was one of the bosses in the final raid. All in all Mal'Ganis didn't actually do as much as Tichondrius, but what he did was a lot clearer and he is part of a storyline that i far more iconic than anything Tichondrius ever actively took part in, though he did orchestrate that storyline from behind the scenes (in the same way actors often get more credit for movies than instructors among the general audience). Personally i find Mal'Ganis a lot more memorable than Tichondrius, who was mostly just running around being an arrogant asshat, while Mal'Ganis had some enticing flair to him. TL;DR: Mal'Ganis took a more clear part in the best stuff, while Tichondrius and Varimathras didn't
I'll Hunt you to the ends of the earth if i have to! you hear me? TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH! (For english speakers, WIII arthas last line in the purge of stratholme)
Let's analyze it a little. You must pick a target that has more health than you AND isn't being attacked. The lower your health the higher the risk of a burst against you for the kill before you ult. If the enemy has good burst heal they have 3 seconds to unload on your target after use and you won't get a kill. In most team fights, tanks are last targets, so ideally, Mal'Ganis won't start taking much damage until he is last left alive. If the enemy has three or more left, you probably still die. Looks neat, but risky and situational.
I have a feeling it's going to be a very situational ult, while his first ult will be the main pick - at least once people realize how not-OP Dark Conversion is. There's lots of counters for it, and most of them are basic abilities like BW Polymorph, Ana sleep dart (or her heal-nullifying grenade), any kind of stun like Muradin's hammer or silence like Stukov's, etc. If worst comes to worst, there's a number of ults that can counter it as well. It's best in a 1v1 situation, and even, only against heroes who either don't have any reliable CC or when you can catch them with those abilities on cooldown. EDIT: Also, any hero with any amount of burst can just kill you. In the scenario with Zeratul, he realistically would have just killed Mal'ganis before he could actually heal up (double-cleave with his Nerazim ult) or just VP to stop it and either escape or kill Mal'ganis when it ends.

Omg I never thought of that, gonna have to tell my Gall to cancel all arrangments for at least a month.
Not that Cho'Gall is viable in the first place
psh. Just hit him with the hammer and that's it. Alternatively just give him a volley of shadow bolts when you see him sneak in at low health.
Yet another reason to never first pick Cho'Gall in a draft. People should stop doing that.

I like how they gave him a more balanced version of Terrorblade Sunder
a 6 second CD sunder would be more balanced than terror blade lol
Somewhat. Sunder has a minimum HP percentage that it can be used on. This doesn’t.
Blind as a bat in esports seems pretty dumb. You could literally look on a team mates monitor. I hope it's goofy fun and not viable fun.
that's a legit strategy, so why not use it
Not at all, it's not like HotS is a team game
lol all it takes is to tell the guy what time it is and it's gg, especially KR guys cause they can talk faster :P
Good point. buy the ability seems VERY fun!
But there are already a few vision-darkening effects and this has never really been a proper argument toward them. Dehaka's one ult, for instance.

Yes and no. It's only effective if you use it while on low health, in which case you can get sniped by anyone with decent burst damage. Also the cast seems to be 1 second, so it will be rather easy to counter with a stun.
It seems like it will make him really mean in 1v1 lanes, though. He can just use his opponent as a health pack and it will be harder to counter if he initiates with it.
Can't wait to see people using it as an execute
It will be nerfed like all ults of the same kind (Dota's Terrorblade e.g)
If you played Dota2 this is similar to Terror Blades “Sunder” ult. Powerful but it’s not impossible to team fight against. Excellent for 1v1

OMFG YES. BLIZZ I LOVE YOU.
Like, you messed up mephisto's model, but everything else reciently has been spot-on.
I was honestly thinking you'd Add valimathras as your dreadlord because of his presence in WoW, but I love how you decided to give a shout-out to us who played your classic games and added Mal'Ganis instead!
Amazing job!
Varimathras had more impact in wc3.. after Mal'ganis dies it's pretty much him and Tichondrius..
I would argue otherwise. I remember Mal'ganis way better than I ever have Tichondrius or Varimathras (I don't even remember him at all? I assume he's just in WoW). Then again, I suppose it may be because I never played WoW.
@@Draeckon That is because you don't remember the campaigns well enough... you'll see mal'ganis mostly does stuff with arthas however the other two dreadlords are shown beyond that point every time they're mentioned.
Mal'Ganis plays a massive role in the beginning of Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, as he is the main antagonist during most of the human campaign, which is usually remembered better, as it is both the first campaign and the one portraying Arthas' corruption.
Tichondrius plays a semi-important role in the undead and night elf campaign during Reign of Chaos and has a small cameo in the orc campaign. He is however a lot less active in the open, as he mostly just tells other people what to do and only becomes more active during the night elf campaign, which is the last campaign and thus not as well remembered.
Varimathras was never even a character before Frozen Throne, where he mostly played a rather unwilling sidekick to Sylvanas, which he proceded to do until the events of the Wrathgate, where he became somewhat important. After that, he showed no sign of himself until Legion, where he was one of the bosses in the final raid.
All in all Mal'Ganis didn't actually do as much as Tichondrius, but what he did was a lot clearer and he is part of a storyline that i far more iconic than anything Tichondrius ever actively took part in, though he did orchestrate that storyline from behind the scenes (in the same way actors often get more credit for movies than instructors among the general audience). Personally i find Mal'Ganis a lot more memorable than Tichondrius, who was mostly just running around being an arrogant asshat, while Mal'Ganis had some enticing flair to him.
TL;DR: Mal'Ganis took a more clear part in the best stuff, while Tichondrius and Varimathras didn't
@@TheWildmanden but being a dreadlord is all about being an asshat xD
I wish we could get an actual prince Arthas paladin mode with the hammer and paladin powers. That artwork was sick! :D
¡Tengo alas!, ¿Se puede saber por qué voy siempre andando?
Maldita sea, Mal'ganis! Te perseguire hasta los confines de la tierra si es necesario, me oyes?! HASTA LOS CONFINES DE LA TIERRA!
What
Malganis doesn't speak taco
Malganis speak Mcdonald
I'll Hunt you to the ends of the earth if i have to! you hear me? TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH! (For english speakers, WIII arthas last line in the purge of stratholme)
Jajaja una de las mejores frases de arthas
At the beginning of the video, when you were talking about specialty and cunning, I though you were to present him as an specialist.
Now we need a turtle skin.
*I AM MAL'GANIS!!! I AM A TURTLEEEE!!!!!*
There is only one word needed for this video. OP, Blizzard forgot what balance is!
this new terrorblade looks amazing
Love it, still would of preferred Lord Jaraxxus though. More Warcraft demons plz
So, we have Fenix's mapwide Kamehameha, and Malganis as Captain Ginyu.
Dark conversion looks like it’ll be strong but something tells me it’s going to disappoint
Let's analyze it a little.
You must pick a target that has more health than you AND isn't being attacked.
The lower your health the higher the risk of a burst against you for the kill before you ult.
If the enemy has good burst heal they have 3 seconds to unload on your target after use and you won't get a kill.
In most team fights, tanks are last targets, so ideally, Mal'Ganis won't start taking much damage until he is last left alive. If the enemy has three or more left, you probably still die. Looks neat, but risky and situational.
I have a feeling it's going to be a very situational ult, while his first ult will be the main pick - at least once people realize how not-OP Dark Conversion is. There's lots of counters for it, and most of them are basic abilities like BW Polymorph, Ana sleep dart (or her heal-nullifying grenade), any kind of stun like Muradin's hammer or silence like Stukov's, etc. If worst comes to worst, there's a number of ults that can counter it as well.
It's best in a 1v1 situation, and even, only against heroes who either don't have any reliable CC or when you can catch them with those abilities on cooldown.
EDIT: Also, any hero with any amount of burst can just kill you. In the scenario with Zeratul, he realistically would have just killed Mal'ganis before he could actually heal up (double-cleave with his Nerazim ult) or just VP to stop it and either escape or kill Mal'ganis when it ends.
Genji can probably deflect Dark Conversion too.... do you imagine ? :D
What about putting them to sleep first with E? That ult doesn't need much time to cast it
Get on the PTR, he's ruining.
I came so early it still said the video is private
Must be hard getting a date, hmm? :)
@@ВладиславШаклеин-ч7м yah prolly would be - if it weren't for the fact that I am in a relationship already
me2
For more than ten thousand years I have been waiting for Mal’Ganis!
I AM A TURTLE!
was just going to say that
Teo Al and now I can’t Unhear that
I CANT UNHEAR IT NOW
Loving everything!.... except that walk cycle and face expression. WTF!?!?
agree , I prefer wc3 malganis , green malganis is the best malganis
So THIS is where Mal'ganis fled to after that questline in Icecrown.... 5 years later... dude must have been doing some pretty crazy planning
That came out of nowhere
•Logik • we know since january that he will be a hero :D
If "out of no where," you mean they've been teasing it since Friday, and we're overdue for a hero, then yes. It did come out of nowhere.
it really didn't they've been hinting on this already on Facebook my friend told me so
@@CameronSpear I did not see the tease
that's what she said
Aww, no dread infernal
It would probably be too similar to Nazeebo's Gargantuan... would fit him better tho.
Probably wouldn't go too well with a tank/ bruiser though. I'm certain we'll see the dread infernal ult on another demon sometime :)
probably in a eredar like jaraxxus or archimond
Thats for verimatheras ;)
Mark Ferring we still have Jaina though...
If your screen buddy is Abathur who put his parasite on your Malganis and both of you lock your screen to your controlled character.
HMMMM I wonder which ult will be picked more...
Conversion until people see how risky and situational it is.
What he said. At first, people will flock to Conversion until people realize his first ult is way more useful.
terrorblade says hi
Ult 2 is Terrorblade’s.
Ult 1 is Riki's with mobility.
Sunder but shittier
they stole dota1 balanar lol
Mal ganis should have a ultimate where he turns into a turtle.
Yo this just made me come back to HOTS
agreed
same. mal'ganis is literally the hero i always hoped to have but never imagined would actually be made. kind of like bwonsamdi since bfa.
A🐢TURTLE🐢MADE🐢IT🐢TO🐢THE🐢WATER🐢
Lolll
Regarding how fast the health is swapped, it seems like a well placed Force of Will can negate Dark Conversion to a good extend.
Can we get me at some point?
Poor Cairne, we already forgot your 'stand and fight'.
Well, considering Mal"Ganis is a Warcraft tank we wont get another for at least 5 next heroes, rip me, got to wait another year.
Here let me pat your back :C *pats his back*
MOOOOO, ekhm, that's not necessary.
But you deserve it :C
why does his body look like tyler1
don't insult Tyler like that there's no way he would lose a fight versus this beta demon.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
WTF MAN?
He is not 5 feet tall tho
I’d love to see someone flailing around blindly while the enemy team stands safely to the side and just watches.
hasta los confines de la tierra!
MAL'GANIS!
PURGAR
VAMOS A ACABAR CON ESTO AHORA MISMO MAL'GANIS! SOLO TU Y YO...
TODA LA CIUDAD
