Dear devs, it'd be really cool if heroes show their ready animations in draft also.

I mean you guys make different ready animations for recent heroes' skins, and I think they are really great.

So why do you use them only for QM? It's kinda waste and it seems a little bit boring to see heroes just standing there when they're picked in draft screen.

Please bring them a bit more life in draft screen, too. It would be awesome.

    That would be really cool! It would require a lot of testing with 90+ heroes which is a substantial amount of work. If more than a couple break bounds or do anything that may look strange in the Draft UI we would have to find a solve or cut the feature all together. Some people have suggested Taunt animations as well (this has some more egregious problems as a lot of heroes don't generally stay in place). These suggestions are awesome and we would love to give them a shot one day. I'll bring it up to some people and see where it goes.

    If you are going to do some testing like that make sure to check out Deckard's army skins. Sometimes he keeps a book in his hand and saluts while shoving it in his head.

    Sounds like a bug. I'll let our QA peoples know. Thanks!

    Looking at those 87 heroes (88 if you count Gall as a seperate hero) currently in the nexus

    90+ heroes ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    I like the tease!

    I've mentioned it in other posts but yes we are working on other heroes. Hate to disappoint those few people who say Deathwing was our last hero but they're wrong. Be safe out there.
