Since warden is not a playable class, insisting they rigidly follow characters' classes equates to not wanting Maiev as a hero portrait at all.
Yes she could be a priest based on her role during the War of the Ancients, but is a priestess of Elune really the same thing as the playable priest class? No. So Tyrande shouldn't be here either. Nor N'Zoth, Deathwing, Lady Vashj etc.
So she's fine as the nearest thing, which is a rogue.
I'm also not comfortable with Tyrande or others you mentioned but I can't deny that you're right because in near future nor far future, we know they won't be playable with their own classes. But that doesn't change the fact that Rogues are assassins who aim to kill the target while Wardens are jailers are guardians. Maiev is a warden who uses rogue skills but her job is all about ward and guard. She was the jailer of the Illidan Stormrage. We might know that because we all grew with the Saga's earlier games. Honestly, I don't like that people meet her as a rogue and don't know the real origin of her.
I would like to see Old God Class and them as Skins, same with others as well tho.
She originated Fan of Knives, uses poison daggers, blinks in and out of shadows, and wears a black hood.
I guess to blizz she is practically a rogue in all but name.
You are also right. It is how Maiev in Warcraft 3 but same with what I wrote above. If you play HoTS, you probably know what skills Maiev uses in that game and also in lore. It is deeper than that and your guess is wrong according to that game. She is not practically a rogue for blizzard either. She jails people, pulls them etc. It is different than a rogue's assassinating.
How The Lich King can't be a skin, Maiev Shadowsong should have been just a card but not a skin imo. but I can still understand the idea behind. We won't get their classes near future or in anytime so we at least use them as a skin of existent classes.
That also rises some hopes in me which we might get Death Knight class in some day.
I was playing some non-combo Quest Rogue in wild for 4/4 lackeys and believe me you don't even need bounce with Bloodsail Flybooter and with lackeys anymore to complete the quest. If you are lucky enough, 2 copies of it will complete it for you and that's not that hard, i know that because i played a lot in wild.
In my opinion, it should be reverted because of Bluegill and Boar nerfs. I really think that the unnerf of The Caverns Below is fair enough with charge nerfs but i'm repeating again, you don't even need bounce to complete it with Bloodsail Flybooter now.
Just looking at the 1 drop section shurima makes one realise how much better these are: Dunekeeper: a 2/1 + a 1/1 ephemeral used eighter for nexus demage, extra death trigge, a free sac unit and an extra death trigger
I just recreated Leblanc with the revealed cards that how I wanted her to be.
I really don't know about her power level, I didn't think of any of the existing cards while I'm creating this. Just wanted to create an interesting version instead of a creepy aggro one.
I kept Leblanc's Mirror Image at 4 health because of the possible heal playarounds to fake the opponent. Level-up conditions/Stats/keywords might be overpowered or weak but can be tweaked. I just wanted to know that you're happy with the real LeBlanc or something like this which I showed above.
Oh and I forgot to write on the card but Level 2 Leblanc loses its Last Breath after she dies.
Edit: I have corrected level 2 state of her.
I am really so disappointed to see the real LeBlanc.
For Aegwynn, the Guardian, I don't agree that decksize will not let her to be good. All she need is minions that produce spells. Team 5 still wants Mage to be the class that generates random spells. At least Aegwynn says it. How effective will those random spells are another question tho. Especially if they produce no damage dealing spells.
She is one of my favourite champ in LoL and I won't even want to try her in LoR. SHAME !
Where is the all trickstery about her ?
I'm so angry at Riot, all of my favourite champs in LoL are crap in LoR. I know it is so early to say that she will be bad or good but she is not interesting to play neither.
They might even use Jandice Barov - like effect for her passive in LoL like; "When I die, Instead I am summoned again with 1 health and with my Mirror." And Mirror could have a text like "Your opponent can't see this text. I can't deal damage and whenever i take damage, i die." You simply level-up her for nothing. Because she won't survive for another 15+ damage most of the times and her requirement is "I saw" which is bad most of the times. She needs to be on board with her little hp.
Her blinks, Her Trickstery, All are gone for this Aggro crap. I had my hopes that some mage-like plays can be implemented to Noxus with LeBlanc. Now all is gone. They really want Noxus to be pure aggro region. That doesn't have to be. Red in Mtg isn't like that. Even Hunter has some cool mechanics in Hs.
I am really disappointed. I will keep my high hopes for Akali -the other favourite champion of me- for some interesting plays it seems and will wait to see when she will be released.
Black Rose Spy might be good, but delayed most of the times. You might be too late to play her most of times and for duping Champs, there are better options.
Thorn of the Rose is just a filler to give cheaper 5 attack to players that is interested in Reputation but doesn't have enough cards. Most worthless of these. Not even related with LeBlanc. Seems like "Leblanc also can stun your enemies like in LoL!" stuff that Riot wants to say.
The only interesting card here is Mimic to gain copies of fast and Slow spells that your opponent cast. Might be the best card of this reveal.
U should be able to dust ur golden dupes of basic cards but i can be wrong. Are basic rotating too?
Yes, some basics are rotating. Check the Core Set 2021 Guide page for which card isn't rotating so you can find out which one is.
Keep in mind that the Core cards and the Legacy cards are technically separate copies. So that means that even the Basic cards in the Core set are still considered to be rotating to Wild, since they are part of the Legacy set. You should be able to DE the golden Basic cards and still keep the regular copies if you want them for playing Wild. Since they mentioned golden Core cards will come from completing achievements, and because the Legacy cards are technically not tied to Core cards, I doubt having a Legacy card in golden will give you a Core card in golden. But I could be wrong!
And since everyone with Wild unlocked will automatically get all regular and golden Basic cards at rotation (info here, Introducing the Legacy Set section), that's 14,300 dust from just the golden Basic cards, which is 100 dust short of being able to craft 9 legendary cards.
Thanks for the link, but i have still some questions.
It says that Classic packs will continue to give classic cards, but the 2014 versions. For example, We can't open Brightwing from them. And my question is that new classic cards which is in core set 2021aren't collectible ? I mean, Won't None of the existing packs give Alexstrasza the Life-Binder for example ? If it is like that, What will happen in 2022 ? Can't we play those cards in wild if they don't decide to put them Core set 2022 ?
Damn Blizzard, When you made some changes, there are never enough infos !
And If anyone can say that what will happen the Classic Packs and will they offer Basic cards, I will be appreciated as well.
That is actually a very good question. They will technically become Wild packs, eh?:D To be honest, i think they will stay without change, they will still reward Classic cards and thats it. At best they might throw in Basic cards, but im not too sure about that.
what my thought is; if level progression of classes will give core set cards through level 10, i can think of that after level 10 they will continue to give basic + golden cards but can't be so sure of it as well.
I'm using emotes mostly for some reactions, greet and such. I mean, normal ways. Not spamming or anything.
When they never emote back, I know that they squelched at the first moment when we encountered. I consider this as a bm. Think that you re playing this game physically and as soon as you sit, your opponent seals their ears with something. Spamming might annoy everyone, I'm ok with that but you can squelch after bunch of emotes, You don't have to do it instantly whenever you encountered with a human-being.
I was so annoyed when Quest Druid was in the meta. They were there but they act like they are afk. I really hated that. In my opinion that was a BM as well.
Also, not accepting friend requests are bad manners in my opinion because I want to say something to my opponent after the games end. Sometimes it was about how they played well, sometimes I want to ask some questions about the game why they decide to do that and sometimes it was all about their nickname, and sometimes it was a different deck and i want to ask for codes but so less people accept it. I can understand that people thinks always the bad side of that; "They added me, They will be toxic about game/deck etc." but it is bad manners to not accept in my opinion. You don't really have to read intentions.
Other than that, Simple stuff like roping, spamming etc. But Roping after doing their move and spend all of their mana annoys me more than waiting to play until rope comes constantly.
With the exception of Fireball, none of those core spells have or will see inclusion into the current iteration of burn mage. And since I rate Imprisoned Phoenix higher than Aegwynn, that should more or less settle this debate.
leaving beasts on board ?
Rush is a mechanic, you know.
rly (!?)
I'm also not comfortable with Tyrande or others you mentioned but I can't deny that you're right because in near future nor far future, we know they won't be playable with their own classes.

statistics junkies..
I wish you could also enjoy all parts of games but winrates matter more than enjoyement.
Even she is my favorite Warcraft character and love to have this portrait, i can't really get it why she is Rogue portrait.
She is a ..... Warden !? :( not rogue !?
C'mon Blizzard !
well, there was no Bloodsail Flybooters in those times.
I was playing some non-combo Quest Rogue in wild for 4/4 lackeys and believe me you don't even need bounce with Bloodsail Flybooter and with lackeys anymore to complete the quest. If you are lucky enough, 2 copies of it will complete it for you and that's not that hard, i know that because i played a lot in wild.

Blade Flurry gets what it deserves.
actually, Stowaway is great with C'Thun, the Shattered. It draws both spells and C'Thun, the Shattered itself.
Bloodthirsty Marauder is just like - what was the deadly sin of Legion Rearguard !?
Which stops ALL chained spells.
ALL
I already wrote a long comment under Leblanc's reveal article. So I won't repeat them.
I just recreated Leblanc with the revealed cards that how I wanted her to be.

definitely not blitzcrank

At least Aegwynn says it. How effective will those random spells are another question tho. Especially if they produce no damage dealing spells.
Well, at least Shurima + Hecarim is real.
Probably with Azir who is the ruler of these Sand people. So Azir is meant to be with Hecarim. We'll see.

Bloody Business is situational Whirling Death, that you don't have to wait for combat, Sigil of Malice is worse Mystic Shot. Whispered Words is just a good card tho, but not interesting.
Black Rose Spy might be good, but delayed most of the times. You might be too late to play her most of times and for duping Champs, there are better options.

Wild packs sounds bad actually. :D

Imagine you triggered Aegwynn, the Guardian onto Imprisoned Phoenix, Your Fireballs are now Pyroblasts.
I'm actually saying that, Why not both ?
