Found Empath.

Is this the Empath you are talking about? I just went over the skillset and it seems like a damn good hero. Huge initation capability!

s2 has said they wont do illusions so i doubt this is the new hero. Plus he has nymphoras ult, but more OP.

EDIT: Fingers crossed for match awards!

Try to imagine reading my whole ****ing post, rethink your post, uninstall this game to prevent yourself from further embarassment and THEN reply, k?
Seriously, I referred to the cowboy soul reaper AND GAY ASS GOBLIN SHOP FEATURES instead of FIXING A MAJOR ****ING BUG/ERROR THAT PISSES ALL REPLAY VIEWERS OFF.
Reply from someone with power to do something about these replays is very much appreciated.

Not everyone in the s2 team knows how to fix that. I'm sure there are people working on it, but should everyone else halt their own work just to sit and hold that programmer's dick while he works? No, the art team and development team are doing their own jobs (giving us new alt avatars and new heroes) while the programming team is working on your replays for you.

Realignment
We're constantly looking to improve the balance of HoN, but with all of the new items and heroes we've introduced to the game recently, we'll be undergoing a wholesale, global "realignment" process. We, with the input of competitive players, will look at every single hero and item in an attempt to bring the big picture into focus. Forests of Caldavar will also be closely examined for further balance changes.

Hell, it's about time...sorry had to.

No really, this is what I'm most excited about, to see heroes that were **** for good 3-4 years now (dota + hon) finally become actually viable and worthwhile picks.

and i was under the impression that soul reaper couldn't get any cooler.

[OMGWTF]

Please allow the top rated custom maps (like Devourer Wars) found in DREAM to be tested with other players via no-stats games.

Thanks.

Seems cool. Glad we're getting a new support hero in the pool. Now, that's all about the "support" meaning. If that's WS kind, meh...
