Judging from that picture, looks like we should all be super stoked about FW getting a new skeleton sword dude. Looks like he could be a sweet commander as well from his position at the crest of that hill: maybe with warcry?
Whoa whoa whoa, what Grintmaw? Edit: This is why I should scroll up lol...Skeleton or Lich would be great for Midterm
The art is amazing! But wait a sec, if thats a Grintmaw (I though it could be a G'hern but it indeed looks alot more like a Grintmaw) then IS is getting two runes? Cuz the hottie is definely a barbarian. Grintmaw Spark and Barbarian Thot.
They have to do the art pretty far in advance. Also, they might not end up using the Barbarian. The same artist did the Lonx Wanderer and the rest of the image from that hasn't been used yet (a large number of frozen or stone lonx - I wasn't quite sure.)
Edit: totally missed that text in the clouds. Also the Soon reference went over my head for a bit lol...yeah soon...
We know that the SL midterm is gonna be a draksar lady, as seen in the full art for mutated drake that shows up on loading screens. She'll probably be a mutation theme rune. That makes me think that this patch could include a rework of the mutation abilities to be more like mutated drake, and a rework of mutate to work with them somehow. Maybe like Mutate: target friendly champ gains 2 dam/2 def/1 spd, and if it has a mutation ability it gains all three abilities for 3 turns.
If i recall correclty something like your mutate idea is what will be implemented and the "charge mechanics" removed from them all. Processing collar would need a fix too if that happens
