I'm actually a big fan of bringing Mephisto into HotS!

I'm sort of curious what your plan was, as far as making him a multi-class hero. He seems like a mix of Assassin damage and Specialist push-power, but Vengeance actually gives him health comparable to many of the top warriors (between Chen and Arthas, from the looks of it). What was your reasoning behind that? Does his health grow at a slower rate, or is the lack of health regeneration a factor here?

Also, the attack range on the minions from Graveyard seems fairly high, no? Raynor's got a 6.5 attack range, exceeding that of most other heroes, and most hero-made minions don't tend to reach past 3-4 (except Abathur's Bombard Strain locusts, I suppose, but IIRC those shots are avoidable). Considering their individual health is fairly high (about 23% higher than Azmodan's Demon Warriors) and their damage is likewise pretty good (58% higher), having such a large range on top of that seems a bit strong to me.

1. Sorry I'm so late getting back to you. Anyways, his lack of health Regen is mitigated by the fact that he heals 20% of damage dealt. As you said earlier, he was meant to either:
Glass Cannon (Li-Ming)
Ranged Bruiser Tank (think Artanis)
Push hard (about Zagara strength)
Or a Wombo Combo Assassin (like Alarak)

My reasoning is because Varian is the only multi-class hero, and it would be interesting to see a hero​ which would be countered hard like this character (extremely vulnerable to silence, because his attack occurs once every 2.5 seconds.)
Also the skeleton archers ARE op. Lemme balance that.
