While most characters only feature in one-two episodes, some are more or less prominent to be mentioned. The entire cast of HeroStorm is effectively parodies of most common player behaviors found in Heroes of the Storm.
Raynor
Debuted in Episode 1 "Aspire to Inspire".
Being a "baby's first character", Raynor is a parody on most new players one can meet in Heroes of the Storm: a blithering idiot, only capable of speaking via blowing raspberries, (seemingly) incapable of thought or reason and lacking any situational awareness.- A-Team Firing: Whenever Raynor is seen wielding his weapon, he jumps in place and shoots directly upwards. Somehow, he still hits his targets.
- Blowing a Raspberry: His main (and only) way of communication in later episodes of HeroStorm, fittingly for a parody on new players.
- The Ditz: Despite series having many of those, Raynor is the moron of the bunch. To start, he looks incredibly derpy at all times. He is unaware of anything happening around him, as he is only capable of doing 3 things: shooting the air, "speaking" and standing still being a target dummy.
- Eyelid Pull Taunt: Seems to be permanently stuck in one, as his tongue is always sticking out and his eyes seem like they're ready to pop out of his skull.
- This Loser Is You: Raynor is an Affectionate Parody on most new players: bumbling buffoons, only capable of one tactic, standing completely still most of the time and "communicating" through unintelligible sounds.
- The Unintelligible: His "speech" consists of making raspberry sounds.
Diablo
Debuted in Episode 2 "Lord of Terror".
Diablo represents most players maining said character without a lot of experience. Diablo is rash, easily pissed and prone to acting unreasonably aggressive.- Grievous Harm with a Body: Same as in Heroes of the Storm, this is Diablo's main way of attacking enemies.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Diablo's most prominent trait is his impatience and no tolerance for any annoyances. In many episodes he's present he spends all of his time trying to kill one specific hero for being an annoyance (Valla firing at him, Garrosh taunting him) no matter how dangerous his vengeance may be for himself.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Charges off to attack a taunting Garrosh despite the latter standing in a zone covered by his towers. Naturally, when Diablo charges Garrosh, the latter simply throws him behind the gates.
- Painfully Slow Projectile: In Lord of Terror, Diablo's Fire Stomp travel speed is... unimpressive, to say the least.
- Wrestler in All of Us: Considering it's Diablo we're talking about, it's a given.
Illidan
Debuted in Episode 3 "Illidumb Hunting".
Illidan also represents the starter player base trying out said character. While Illidan isn't a complete idiot, he often picks fights he cannot win (which he doesn't know due to character's/player's arrogance) and is always eager to use The Hunt on anything hostile he can see.- Blindfolded Vision: Standard for Illidan, although this version of character seems to have working eyes underneath the blindfold.
- Catchphrase: His usual The Hunt ultimate lines.
- The Chase: Consistently gets into those with hostile projectiles, with himself as a runner.
- Death of a Thousand Cuts: Fittingly for a character, Illidan is capable of furiously swinging at anything. He even attacks walls to be able to use ''The Hunt'' again as soon as possible.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Eager to use his ultimate on any enemy hero that is in range. It almost never works out for him, sadly.
- Running Gag: Trying to run away to another country from any Painfully Slow Projectile that chases him. Two times - from Kael'thas' Pyroblast (which is arrested at the border due to flying after the plane without permits or tickets on its' second attempt) and once - from Kel'Thuzad's Frost Blast.
- Also, the times he just starts dodging even when not being attacked by anyone.
Nazeebo
Debuted in Episode 4 "Nazeebro".
Nazeebo, while isn't an outstanding character (at least in this representation), remains true to the core gameplay of the character in the game. His defining characteristic is speaking in "voodoo noises" he usually makes whenever he casts an ability.- Action Bomb: His toads. Although they refuse to move and need to be kicked to be of any use.
- The Beastmaster: Uses toads, spiders and zombies to attack enemies. Although.....
- Improvised Weapon: .... He seems to use said animals as the only thing he has to defend himself with, packing them in his pockets just before the match.
- The Unintelligible: Communicates in "voodoo noises", although it would seem that other characters understand him.
Arthas
Debuted in Episode 4 "Nazeebro".
Arthas is one of the little sane men/characters in the series. Having a clear understanding of what he's supposed to do, he nonetheless ends up on the receiving end of beatings quite often for the sake of comedy.- Berserk Button: Seems to have one for not being able to root an enemy or watching Uther or Raynor in general.
- Cool Shades: It appears that the cut-outs in his Lich King Crown are these, as he adjusts them after being blinded by Cassia in The Lich King.
- Evil Is Deathly Cold: Fitting for the character.
- Hostile Show Takeover: He stabs Jaina in the middle of "Jaina the Frost Mage" and replaces it with his own version of the Christmas carol where he begs Blizzard to buff him.
- Painfully Slow Projectile: Howling Blast... isn't one of the fastest traveling projectile roots, to say the least.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Upon failing to hit Cassia with Howling Blast multiple times, he goes for Breath of Sindragosa, rooting and freezing Cassia, the gates and towers she decided to hide behind and the fort.
- Serious Business: Seems to not tolerate any foolishness that occurs in his presence, be it yelling at Uther after his attempt to speak of the Light while entering the bunker in A Blaze of Glory or throwing a minion aside for snowballing him in The Lich King.
- Suddenly Voiced: He's voiced by Carbot for his carol in "Jaina the Frost Mage".
Uther
Debuted in Episode 8 "Support Group".
A parody of comically inept healers, Uther does everything except heal his team. He never seems to take the hint, however.- Captain Obvious: After Artanis barely survives a 3-man gank (no thanks to Uther), Uther says that Artanis needs to use the healing fountain. He says it a second time in "Spear of aNoob" to the ghosts of Tyrael and Leoric.
- The Ditz: Not quite as stupid as Raynor, but still clearly has no situational awareness or idea how to play his character.
- Insult Backfire: From Artanis.Artanis: You lack honor.
Uther: Thank you! - Minor Injury Overreaction: He gets shot by a minion, so he casts Divine Shield on himself and retreats.
Lt. Morales
Debuted in Episode 13 "High Heals".
A parody of single-minded healers, Lt. Morales actively refuses to heal anyone but the person who gets her the most healing stats.- Dr. Jerk: When faced with ETC begging for help, her response is to tell him to be quiet while she's healing Thrall, who is doing nothing but charging headfirst into danger.
- Good Thing You Can Heal: Her own self-heal ability allows her to survive being blown to pieces.
- Healing Factor: Her medical equipment is portrayed as granting this, allowing Thrall to tank Illidan's glaives, Lunara's spears, and Greymane's claws shearing off limbs and half his head with no issue.
Abathur
Debuted in Episode 15 "Enemy at the Gate"
A meek but dangerous support who represents people who main highly-specialized characters, but know their limits incredibly well.- Cherry Tapping: Kills a heavily-weakened Kharazim by gently patting him on the head, urging him to be quiet, laying him down on the ground and putting a medical sheet over him. Later proceeds to kill ETC by leading him around a tower trying to escape him, and then gently slapping him on the back after the tower knocks him unconscious.
- Cleanup Crew: Makes a point of burying the corpse of anyone he kills or helps to kill.
- Dirty Coward: He cannot win in a straight fight, and he knows it.
- Odd Friendship: With Brightwing; He helps her dispose of the bodies, and she makes it easier by polymorphing them into squirrels.
