Heroes of the Storm: Sylvanas Does Stuff That Could be Considered Cheating?

Lost Vikings and Sylvanas Windrunner were confirmed to become the next two heroes to join to Nexus. John Hodgson, the technical designer of HotS, has recently revealed more information about Sylvanas on his Twitter.

“I can’t tell you all much more about Sylvanas other than that she’s awesome and does stuff that could be considered cheating”

Accord to the information revealed on Blizzcon 2014, Sylvanas is a Specialist, and her basic attacks and abilities can disable minions and structures. As a siege hero and also an archer, Sylvanas has great mobility and damage dealing ability. Therefore, we have reasons to believe that she will become one of most popular heroes in Heroes of the Storm.

Sylvanas

What defines Sylvanas? Shes an Undead leader, she has a bow.
In 2010 when we first showed her, we used to use color of heroes to determine which team they were on. She's much different today.
Our first iteration she was able to trap to silence heroes, and could block out enemy screens. Her kit didn't fit the fantasy of the hero, so they went back to Warcraft III.
Dark Archer. Black magic vibe. Banshees. Possess!
Needed to make sure not only her look was different than other archers in the game, they needed to have different kits. Sylvanas is a siege archer.
One of her development abilities was turned into a trait.
Strangling Shot: 50 Mana, 10 second cooldown. Disables buildings.
Trait: Black Arrows - Basic Attacks and Abilities stun enemy minions, Mercs, and aggressive structures for 1 second.
