Heroes of the Storm will later today release Xul, arguably the first melee specialist focused entirely on fighting on the front line. Although Gazlowe is arguably melee, playing him as such is tantamount to suicide and Xul, with than in mind, comes with a kit that compliments an aggresive melee playstyle. For anyone who hasn't seen him yet or his kit, his video is below.

It's more than likely he'll cost 15,000 Gold when he arrives so you've still time to farm some last minute currency if you don't want to spend money on him. As to whether or not he'll fit into the current Meta, I think at the very least he'll be a strong counter to Xeratul simply because he'll be so overwhelming in lane. What I'm most looking forward to seeing is if he can hold his own in a team fight because even with his bone armor and no escape skills, he's going to take a beating.

The update should arrive around 2 o'clock today (PST).
