It might be a bad idea to "hype up" Vashj as the next Hero.

While it may seem obvious because of the circumstantial evidence surrounding her (like Qhira's voicelines), nothing is set in stone and as much as I'd hate to say it, the Heroes team is not known for their clear and concise hints. You can look at something like D.va's announcement or Whitemane's teasers to see that much. All this hype does is potentially set the community up for disappointment and put an enormous amount of stress on the 10 skeletons still working on HotS development.

Please hype responsibly.

    I've seen a lot of casual daydreaming and "what ifs" being taken as absolute truth lately. Remember that literally anyone can be writing these posts, and the odds of some forum rando having the exclusive inside scoop on our work is extremely low.

    Our writers have been thinking up fun voice lines for *potential* hero interactions for years now. It's not necessarily an indication of anything but the future proofing process.

    Cheers,

    P.S. The next new Hero isn't Vashj and there's no hidden cryptic messages anywhere in this post :P

    I'd also like to add that we have meat on our skeletons still. At least for another day. Stay safe out there, stay inside if you can and wash your hands.

    If anything, my skeleton is accruing extra meat lately. Boredom snacking is reaaaaaal.

    Agreed, I find that it's more about having access to your kitchen. I have a rule that I don't allow snacks at my desk. Also drink only water throughout the day.
