If the hero was for hunter or warrior I might get it. I have enough Druid heroes.l so no.
When I look at this skin, my eyes start bleeding. Also, it's very cheap from Blizzard to not offer some kind of bonus legendary to the new players to whom this package is obviously destined. Next rotation is coming (april?), but hey! You need witchwood packs huh? No way new players can afford a somewhat complete wild experience, so what's the benefit for them? They could have proposed a cheaper pack of the newer set ( they did it once before) for those who can't afford the 50/80 packages. Christmas time!? Nope. Goose milking time!
That hero is disgusting.. Why can’t we have Dragons as heroes if we have creepy looking trees now? (Deathwing is in a human form)
That's it? No free Packs? No Legendary Quest?
Just new cosmetics and $25 Bundle? meh.
After the pleasant surprise at how they handled pack bundles in SoU (where it will at least give you a guaranteed free legendary) I was waiting for future pack bundles to do the same. Well, I was disappointed.
This one's the same as the explorer bundle the last expansion where they gave you packs of the previous expansion instead of the current/coming ones. I can't help but feel that this is a missed opportunity to allow players to get more out of DoD for a less pricey price tag.
At very least give us a random legendary, which would no doubt boost sales.
As for grandma treeface there, I like the concept, I like the design, I like that its a treant instead of the usual night elf, but why'd they made the face so prominent is baffling considering that other treants would be lucky to get pupils let alone bulging eyes.
This is what it looks like when a tree undresses you with their eyes.

Priest: 4
1. Default B (A when animated)

1. Default B (A when animated)
2. 1K D
3. Magni A
4. Deathwing D
Dude, seriously, were you with some kind of visual impairment when writing?
Mecha-Jaraxxus as an A, 1k rogue better than original? 1k mage good?
I know I know, aesthetic is subjective, but hell no :)
Deathwing is probably the coolest looking one, wtf
I agree with most of your rating, but - agree to disagree - that ValeerRRrrra doesn't do much for me ... , Morgl was the OG annoy-o-mumbler and therefor deserves more credit and, finally, Nemsy and 1k Gul'dan are both A+ options. For the rest, as far as rating goes, we'd be on par.
Elise's bm lines makes S tier in my heart
Why hello there.
I feel fortunate to have witnessed this. ( so many people just shame concede most of the time )
You have legendary skill, my friend!
and there is no way Madam Lazul is above Tyrande, she is at best she is C/D
why they hate rogue, warrior and hunter so much? another druid hero?
EDIT: the art is cool BTW
Oof, here's YET ANOTHER Druid Hero?
The timing of this is weird, announcing this before DoD has even released
I mean...Shaman got two heroes back to back as well. They don't seem to be going for Equality here
30 packs an a gif for a price of a middle sized indie game. Welcome to 2020
It's a very decent deal on the packs. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Personally, the time it would take me to grind gold for 30 packs is MUCH more valuable than $25.
I'm definitely on the fence about this one. And why another druid instead of a new mage or hunter? Anyway, we'll see what the emotes are like - maybe that will push me over the edge!
Ugh, whyd they have to give her such a creepy human face.
No l’m good. As long as blizzard keeps killing the mage class, I will buy no bundles or adventures.
Keep us posted. Very urgent, insightful content!
