Having a new Rogue hero is great and all, just wish it was an more rogue rogue (Maiev's a Warden and a Rogue but not really...?), like Vanessa VanCleef, Mathias Shaw , Garona Halforcen or even fucking Taoshi or Genn Greymane. I don't want to come off as ungrateful, because I'd still be using Maiev, it's just that since only Mage had 2 hero skins, I think it's highly unlikely that we'll ever get those heroes. It's like they really want Elves to be the face of Hearthstone. This is nowhere near as "controversial" as putting Azure Drake in their "Hall of Fame" (why didn't you put Warsong Commander and Blade Flurry there :( ) and openly saying that versatile cards are bad for the game. This post doesn't have any real meaning lol; maybe when Druids get Zen'kiki the apprentice druid as their playable hero instead of Hamuul Runetotem or Broll Bearmantle and Warlocks realise that there aren't any notable Warlocks other than Gul'dan in Warcraft so they're bound to get some random NPC, they might have the same feeling.
Anyway, I hope that they make some more skins, even purchasable ones would be ok, at least for me. It can't be as hard as printing a new expa- oh, you can't fill skins with Worgen Greasers. Nevermind. On a slightly more serious note (can't really get that serious talking about hero skins), do you guys like Maiev as the Rogue hero? Or Maiev as a character in general?
I think it really depends on your perspective. I personally think Maiev was an excellent choice. I have actually played quite a bit more WC3 than WoW, so I have no idea who any of the other people you mentioned are, but I'm quite familiar with Maiev. And honestly, elves/orcs are popular hero choices because they are the most recognizable races in warcraft. I would be all for seeing some more alternate heroes that WoW fans would appreciate, but its also important to consider that a large section of the hearthstone playerbase doesn't know that much about the warcraft universe.
I've never played WoW, but overall, I'm very excited.
Valeera wears red, which reminds me of Warrior, my least favourite class. Black and green is a great combo, and matches better with Rogue's card border.
"Yea its cool you're giving me free shit and all, but you're not giving me exactly the free shit I want so I'll go on the internet and write a couple of paragraphs that don't mean much."

let him express his thoughts, no need for mockery here. he explained himself in every point, i see nothing wrong with his post. he's not bashing anyone and he's not saying its bad, he's just saying it could've been better whether its free or he had to pay for it.

Yep free could be better, blizz could have paid us too! This really is first world problems and has no impact on the game. It's total greed.
I don't know a lot about WoW lore, though I played a while (a few months only).
Regarding Maiev, a few friends of mine who really love wow and its lore are really excited that she is the new hero.
As for the art itself, I find it correct. At least they cropped her correctly, and not like they did with Khadgar, who got a super illustration so poorly cropped we don't even get to see Atiesh :(
im more dissapointed with how easy it is to get her. Win 10 games after new expansion is out?everyone is gonna have her. Everyone.
Id rather have it reach rank 5 or legend with rogue blabla, or win x amount of games with rogue in x month only above rank 5 or legend. You know, tying it to skill in some way. Or even just work.

I agree, too easy to get, everyone will have the new hero and I wanted it to be some kind of special.
1) Maeiv is an important character of warcraft and I'm happy she is finally represented
2) Tyrande in priest makes much less sense then Maeiv in rogue tbh. She doesn't even follow the same religion as Anduin and remind me how many heal skills she has in w3 ? Zero, yeah. She is a ranged carry firing on people with a bow and searing arrows + buffing nearby ranged allies with precision aura. Where are the searing arrows and the precision aura and the starfall and the tiger ? Feelsbadman. She should have been a card for druid I think (she is the wife of Malfurion..)
Maybe making Maiev a card would have been better if it was a good one like Sylvanas. Because Illidan sucks in Hearthstone that's so sad (and he sucks in Heroes of the Storm too :x). Well at least Malf got the lion's share.

Tyrande is a priestess. There are a couple different religions in WoW but they are all still priest/priestess
Maeiv is less of a rogue. But still she fights with speed and agility like a rogue, so I think she fits into the rogue category better
How does the Hero system work though? does it replace your hero or can you choose betwee the two like with card backs? because i didn't grind my Ass for a golden Valeera last month for nothing.
Will there be a time limit on when you can receive this hero? Because only 10 wins is super easy and it feels like everyone is going to have it if there is not like a 10 day limit on getting it.
"Yea its cool you're giving me free shit and all, but you're not giving me exactly the free shit I want so I'll go on the internet and write a couple of paragraphs that don't mean much."

So you're telling me that if Blizz's next hero portrait for druid was a steaming pile of feces but it was free you'd be fully satisfied? I think it's a somewhat fair point to bring up as it does mean there likely won't be another portrait for rogue for a long time. IMO I'm fine with it being Maiev but I could see why someone who doesn't like it might be a bit bummed.
I would've loved to have Taoshi be the rogue hero or at least Mathias or Garona because they fit the class much more than Maiev, to me she seems to fit being a legendary more than who you'd see representing the class. Oh well, can't be that picky I guess. I'll still probably use her over Valeera.

Don't forget "and whine that Blizzard loves elves, while my profile pic is an elf".

Dude, you can't be telling me that if they gave you a portrait that was a steaming pile of feces that you wouldn't us it. I know I would use it and love it.

What? You were expecting some less shallow reasoning?
As someone who cares more for aesthetics, I fully approve of this hero.
First world problem.

Greatness, at any cost.
Maiev and some new cards for Mill rogue will be great!

I wanted Zul'Jin to be the rogue hero. Why are there no troll heroes or undead for that matter?
