    Valeera looks fun, but OP. So many assassins in this game! And almost too many stealth heroes.

    Her ult is another invul shield too.

    I'll have to agree. Too many assassins and adding more stealth heroes isn't really great...
    Also I'm wondering why they aren't adding more heroes from OW when almost all OW heroes are almost "ready" for the nexus... They just need a little tweaking and they are good to go.

    I watched a streamer yesterday who loved Valeera, he repeatedly said it feels just like playing WoW and how much fun it was.

    Then he tried the alternative build and his judgement was devastating:

    'Even if they greatly buffed this ult it wouldn't be viable. I do not want to mock Blizzard but if Valeera makes it into the game like this then I would be highly surprised. Honestly I have no idea what the devs tried to achieve here.'

    Then I think they are accomplishing their goal of getting some people who stopped playing WoW to play HoTs. How many of the last heroes added in a row to HoTs have been WoW? 4-5 I think.

    @ Xingbairong - I want more OW heroes like Junkrat/Torb/Roadhog but I think they are trying to keep Overwatch players in Overwatch considering how queue times have increased lately in that game. It would be cool if they released a pack with like 3 OW heroes at one time.
