Heroes of Storm Finally Adds Hogger to the Nexus

Since shutting down the Heroes Global Championship and moving several devs to other projects, Activision-Blizzard has drastically slowed downwards the cadence of new Heroes of the Storm content. In 2022 alone, the team added ix heroes to the roster. However, over the two years since HGC went away, they've only released five more. Of course, that fivesome includes much-requested favorites like Deathwing, Anduin, and Mei. The quantity has stale up, only the quality of choices is still alive and kicking. That's doubly true today with Blizzard announcing Hogger is finally making his manner to the Nexus. Check it out below.

For World of Warcraft originals, Hogger is massive nostalgia hit. Every bit one of the beginning rare monsters people came across during their journey in Azeroth, Hogger was often a touchstone for early players. Ofttimes, players would form raid parties of level one characters to endeavour to have downwardly the massive beast. And information technology looks like Hogger is taking that cult-status with him to Heroes of the Storm.

In Heroes, Hogger is joining characters like Artanis, Leoric, and Thrall equally a Bruiser. As you can run across in the video above, he excels at oversupply control and flare-up impairment, but lacks top-stop mobility. Plus, he can plough into a tornado to cause tons of chaos.

I really love his trait ability Boodle Hoard. Information technology lets him toss a pile of junk that turns into terrain for v seconds. This lets him either lock an enemy out of an escape path or create one of his own. Both of his Heroics look handy, but I'll probably use the Hoardapult in most scenarios. It only looks like so much impaired fun.

Heroes of the Tempest is available at present on PC. Hogger is available to attempt on the Public Examination Realm, which means he'll exist in the game soon.
