Cataclysm gives him a powerful mobility and engagement tool.Some abilities are shared across both forms, such as Molten Flame.The team settled on making Deathwing Unstoppable, giving him a special nameplate that shows health and armor plates.As soon as he lost his plates, he would retreat from the fight. The team tested Unstoppable - As long as Deathwing had so many armor plates active (health), he'd be Unstoppable.The Worldbreaker - Mid range, area denial kit, ripping the earth apart beneath his opponent's feet.The Destroyer - Close range, aggressive melee kit.Capturing both fantasies in one hero was challenging, so the team created two ability sets that he can switch between.Cataclysm Fantasy - Terrible and mighty, the world rips apart in his presence.Dragon Fantasy - Powerful and menacing, uses fire breath and physical attacks to tear enemies apart.In Heroes it was important for him to feel overwhelming and powerful, while still playing well in the game.The team settled on Deathwing in only dragon form.One idea was having Deathwing as an entire map, with the team playing on his back.Deathwing's jaw was a little too plain and chiseled, so they looked at reference material and added some iron cheekbones.The team added gaps to the armor on his back to let some fire shine through.The team tried to bring some of that fire to his back. Deathwing has an iconic firey chest, but you won't see that in game because you don't see his chest.
The team took the areas that people will see the most and added more detail to make him look more aggressive.When Deathwing was walking around during testing, people could really see the head, back, and wings.The team first makes a basic 3D model, with flat textures and minimal placeholder animations.The designers looked at all of the versions that exist, from cinematics and other art pieces, to create their concept.Alexstrasza was both, so the team just did the dragon.What version of Deathwing should they do? Humanoid? Dragon? Both?.There was a hero that everyone has been asking for and that is Deathwing!.Kaeo Miller and some members of the Heroes team took a look at what's coming for Heroes of the Storm.
