So best case scenario it's a 3/4 Taunt for 2 mana, plus you drew a spell. That's not bad, but it's also fairly low impact. It looks like Shamans are mostly going to be going Elemental this expansion, so I don't know if this fits there.
Looks ok, not super powerful. The buff is mid, the draw is nice. I will probably fit nicely in Elemental decks to help you keep playing elementals each turn.
Great AOE. Will clear most things, and leave you with a medium body. If you have some small minions, trade them into any enemies with more than 6 health and you should be good to go.
For me personally it is a gold sink at this moment. My FOMO is acting up again and I am now spending my gold on each and every hero portrait that becomes available for gold. I already counted that I have nowhere near enough gold to obtain all of the 133 missing hero portraits, but I will try as long as I possibly can.
And no, it is not devious at all, because I do not have to collect these cosmetics, I just "need" to, lol 😂
I've never been a fan of moba games, I might even say I hate them, but even I had some good time in heroes of the storm. It was just plain fun. Hopefully they revive this gem and do a good marketing on it.
The no real individual success was a major issue for some people, but I agree, it was a great feature of the game. You all leveled up and got to make this big push together which could at times quickly overwhelm the enemy. It brought it different types of strategies and just required a little bit of different thinking.
I'd rather play Heroes than League of Legends purely from the whole "the games are so much shorter" side of things. Plus, it felt like people weren't complete assholes in Heroes for the most part. Though I will admit, my teammates in League might have been ragers, but they were typically more skilled than your average player in Heroes. If I had a dollar for every Heroes teammate I had that clearly didn't understand the game, I'd be up there with Jeff Bezos.
There's nothing wrong with that either. Heroes attracted a competitive audience on the high end and a very casual audience near the bottom and middle. That's what happens when you have spillover from Blizzard's other titles and people are coming in and playing a MOBA for the first time ever. The most important part is to teach them where possible! League on the other hand, good people are all over the place on the ladder so you'll see good people at the bottom on a regular basis, there's just a reason or two they are not moving on up.
I agree though, I hate playing a MOBA alone. I prefer playing them with a full party or a full party minus one because it gives me a better chance at success.
Me and a couple of friends would play this almost every night for a few games. Sometimes we didn't even play against other players and just ran comp stomp. Heroes is a great title, it just came out at such an awkward time so it never really took off. Had there of been faster queues and just more content in general, I think it would have done so much better.
Nice to see a post for Heroes of the Storm! Hopefully we get a comeback. Well done with all the updates lately. The webpage content has been great the past weeks, long time lurker here (since day 1!), took me a while to make my 1st post. Just wanted to say thanks and keep up the great work!
The Staff of the 9 Frogs is a 2/9 that reads "After your hero attacks, summon a 1/1 Frog with Taunt. (each frog is bigger than the last)". So it certainly leaves up to the name. Wonder what happens if you re-equip the weapon, to the frogs keep growing?
stat wise this minion's ok. I wouldn't want to generate him randomly, though.
That weapon is pretty sick, though. 2/9 means 18 damage that generates 45/45 worth of stats across 9 bodies with Taunt, allowing you to protect more valuable targets.

Elemental synergies are pretty unexciting but Mountain looks super fun in Thunderbringer Big Shaman. Imagine pulling that on 4 or 5 with Ancestor's Call or Muckmorpher.

Solid card right here. Nice combination of low cost, bit of healing, plus Discover.
New Shaman Spell - Trusty Companion

Great AOE. Will clear most things, and leave you with a medium body. If you have some small minions, trade them into any enemies with more than 6 health and you should be good to go.
New Shaman Minion - Doctor Holli'dae
This card looks super good! The main drawback, as I see it, is that everyone's running Rustrot Viper, thanks to my boy Ignis, the Eternal Flame. You may not get to swing that weapon more than once. On the other hand, not too many decks have space for TWO Rustrot Vipers, so run Doctor Holli'dae AND Ignis, the Eternal Flame!
New Death Knight Spell - Corpse Farm
2 Plagued Grain in hand...

New Priest Minion - Elise, Badlands Savior
This reminds me a lot of the recruit mechanic.
Can you use this Elise with Thunderbringer to pull the original copy of itself and Ragnaros the Firelord that might've been in your deck? yes.
But not consistently.

Welcome and thank you =)
Now don't be a stranger!
New Shaman Spell - Giant Tumbleweed!!!
This is better than firelands portal in that it clears an entire board.
But it's worse than Firelands portal in that it can't go face, clears your board, and only gives you a vanilla 6/6.
Still, clearing the board and leaving you something is better than nothing.
New Shaman Minion - Doctor Holli'dae
Blatant power-creep on the 0/1 Frog of yesteryear. When will Blizzard learn?!
