Which is probably why it won't make it into the game. Blizzard has already said they don't really care for mechanics like that in games.
From what they've said at Blizzcon she is a pure specialist who really excells at push and anti-push. Her trait will stop tower/forts from firing via auto attacks and I think stuns mercs. She has (I presume ultimate) the ability to make mercs change allegiance. She has a silence which I think functions something like Kerrigan's or Tyrande's stun (place it, will activate in a set time) and she has the ability to inflict damage to people chasing her by leaving a trail that they can run over and take damage. I also assume she would have some form of archer-esque skillshot as well.

I feel the same way. It's quite a relief to not have to worry about laning, last hitting, runes, jungling, doubling and tripling jungle packs, not stealing from the carry, gold per minute, etc. Just gets right to the fighting.
The skill level for mobas is so high that even with all that taken out, there is still an insane amount of stuff to learn in HotS with comps, pushing, objectives, playing the map, when to fight, initiating fights, poking, etc. I mean I don't even know some of the terms I'm mentioning.

I'm still marginally shitty at this game though, i hated mobas since WC3 DOTA was a thing, so this is the first time im actually getting into it lol
Looking to improve anyway though, been primarily playing zeratul, picking up nazeebo as well
its all good, I would suggest grabbing mumble if you don't already have it, as it really helps using voice chat to communicate, because it is mainly about team fights and there is a lot of poking and prodding for positioning before the jump happens.
I would recommend this site for builds, just put in the hero name, type of game, and the league, you can scroll down to see a quick idea of the most popular builds, but then you can also look at each skill/talent individually.

Don't forget with naz, you can press W again to pull down your badly placed walls, a lot of people seem to not know this when I encounter NAz's in quick match on my team, nothing I hate more than getting trapped in and missing a kill lol.
Finally hit 30, now I need to pick up 2 specialists so I have at least 2 of each type for ranked, Naz is gonna be the first I think I kind of wanted to save up 15k for sylvanas is she going to be support or specialist?
I may just pick up ETC and NAZ to round out my 10 and still have gold available for sylvanas when she rolls out.
Again for anyone starting out, I really think the 30 day stim pack is worth while, it helps you level heros insanely quick 1 win Is almost instant lvl 4, also helps with building up gold as that is really slow and 10k a champ is ALOT imo, also if you want to try hero league without putting in 200 games to hit lvl 30 and dodge the scum that is QM
its very nice, ive got maybe 50 games in and im lvl 30 with 18k gold and I bought 5 of my 8 heroes with gold.

Seconding the stim pack, just bought one today and the xp and gold difference is insane even without grouping. I should hit 30 this week for sure, at 11 heroes owned atm with almost 20k gold banked. Think Kerrigan is going on sale this week (if it's the same as EU anyway).
edit nevermind it is Kerrigan, she just went on sale for 4.50 yeah might as well buy her, she is good, now im sad I didn't grab tass for 3.50.

I like Tass a lot, glad I picked him up (feel like I'm getting to be not trash on him too so that's a plus). I had zero interest in playing Kerrigan (despite knowing that shes basically the top melee pick in the competitive scene) but leveled her to 5 today for the gold and ended up liking her a lot. She really shows how melee assassins seem to work in this game in that you have to go all in (and be right about going all in) or you are fucked.
Is there any idea on when the next hero might be released, im not exactly sure when thrall came out he was just the newest since I entered alpha, I need to pick up 2 more heroes, but I want to have enough gold banked to buy her if I like her.
Their official stance is they just release heroes as they're finished. Since Lost Vikings was playable at Blizzcon I'd imagine they'd come out sometime this month. Not sure if I'd say up specifically for them, though.
Other than complete idiots, and someone telling us to grow some balls and initiate I haven't ran into anyone that has really gone off the deep end, all quick match.
that's also why I recommend stim pack, get into hero league asap ;p
these master skins are really bad like terribly bad, like I understand they want money, so those are gonna be the awesome ones but does it hurt to make them at least some what cool? they are 10k gold for Christ sake.
