LEGION HYPE
Viewer questions: Hey guys. I just found your podcast, started at the beginning and so far i love it (ep 4 currently) I've been playing off and on since WotLK and so far have played minimal amounts of WoD but I'm planning a full time return (had Legion pre ordered months ago!!) in the next week. I have a boosted Resto/boomchicken but leveled a resto druid from 1-80. I feel quite noobish and just curious if you have any advice going into Legion? - Andrew Mead
If you could add an Overwatch hero into WoW, which hero and why+how would she or he fit into the Lore? - @FeyMercurial
