Raynor has been in desperate need of some love for some time.
I approached this rework concept with a few things in mind.
1: Raynor is built around being a very simple hero. This has been a great way to teach new players the game, but it has severely limited him as there is almost always a better hero for a given situation. This rework concept aims to retain the spirit of Raynor's simplicity while diversifying him enough to be able to build into more specialized roles.
2: Create distinct and powerful talents that clearly demonstrate different play styles. Specifically they are.
Auto Attack/Tank Buster
Penetrating Round/Mage build
Team Support
3: Address his survivability issues. Though he can be played well and perform in lower tiers of play, at high levels he simply is too easy to single out and explode. Though I not sure I necessarily fixed the problem, I believe I made much more difficult to blow him away quickly.
