Start the game as fizzlebang and the at lvl 10 the first time you cast your heroic jaraxxus comes out and kills you and you never resurrect and jaraxxus just runs around as AI summoning boss strength infernals killing allies and enemies a like.

Why do I suck with sylvannas
Do you split push/solo mercs all game?
Picking her at the wrong times?
Soloing too much? (Like any solo pushing is too much solo pushing)
Bad Positioning?
Bad talent build?
Low value wailing arrows?
Are you overextending too much and getting picked off?

Come on man, Zeratul, Kerrigan and Illidan are my favorite characters from their respective universes and I don't play them that much.
I would be very interested in either Garrosh/Grommash or Jaraxxus/Dread Lord/Demon lord. As long as it's not Mannoroth.

You should stop being afraid of playing Zeratul.
The genji rant had me in tears

Prosodium and Saltfarez would be bff
Not gonna lie, getting a Sylv teammate in QM is one of my least favorite things. I'm terrible at her myself as well as most randos, so at least you're not alone.
Easy fixes.
Ez Rule of thumb: Only pick sylv on two lane maps and spider queen never hanamura.
Ez Cookie cutter Talent builds: https://www.heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/sylvanas#gR8- for haunted mines and boe OR https://www.heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/sylvanas#hBya for braxis. At 13 will of the forsaken or spell shield can be picked if needed.
Never solo lane, never solo split push, never solo Merc camps... just never solo. Always go to the objective and always push with the objective if you can. Only defend if your team is defending as a team. Sylvanas is a force multiplier, she makes one objective push like two, or a team of 5 push like 10. If she's by herself she multiplies nothing.
Bad wailing arrows? First off never pick mind control, it sucks. The most important thing about wailing arrow you should know is not to cast it first. Wailing arrow is basically always better as either an interrupt or a follow up. First consider if there's something on the enemy team that needs to be interrupted like genji dragon blade or mathiel ult or some channeled ult like lili jugs of a thousand cups or ETC mosh pit. Then just always save your arrow to interrupt. If that stuff isn't there then think of what you have on your team to follow up on. Thrall sunder? Illidan hunt? Your own genji or mathiel is going in? Then follow up by hitting the enemy healer or CC with your silence. Obviously the more people you hit the better, but 9 outta 10 times if you can silence the healer you're doing your job.
Bad positioning? Just stay out of melee range and don't challenge other ranged assassins. Stay behind your tank, clear waves, dagger on CD. Your job is not to play up for extra damage, your job is to punish people who over extend and to always be alive for the objective. That's it.
If you're on a map like spider queen, haunted mines, or boe, and you just don't die the other team is in big trouble.

Ketch nailed it.
The #1 thing you can do as a sylvanas is to stick with the team and survive.
During a push, if the enemy trades a 1 for 1 and kills you, that's a bad trade for your team. Just stay alive. Disable the structures, and play ultra-conservatively.
By the end of the match, you'll have top siege, surprisingly close to top hero damage, and a win.

+1 nerf that character into the ground, and tone down Arthas and Stukov. Then the game feels pretty balanced.

I feel like Stukov is in a pretty good spot. He's got some bad talents that could use some buffs but I don't see much that stands out as broken quite yet.
Xul already at 54% and 2nd highest WR in the game. The build I suggested continues to be far and away the best. The nerfs are a comin'

I am 100% against nerfing heroes because they're good at what they're designed to do. You should nerf heroes when they're broken, or too good at everything and need a counter.
Arthas is just a good tank, nothing broken about him whatsoever. He fills the role of anti melee tank and very hard to kill tank. Anub needed nerfs because he was designed to counter magic damage and fit well in dive comps, but he was actually just the best tank in all scenarios.

They're definitely adding more blizzard stuff though, like the SC1 remaster. Maybe SC1 classics too? Other classics?
I like the sleek look.

do draenai have green glowing eyes?

My first thought. Kil'Jaeden also makes a lot of sense. The outline looks like a humanoid though so I'm gonna guess probably not a demon.
It can't be Akama. Firstly they said someone more famous than stukhov, which Akama definitely isn't. Plus Akama would be ANOTHER melee assassin, in a game that has overwhelming amounts of melee assassins, real trouble balancing them all, and a dire lack of tanks and supports.
I'd be horrendously dissapointed if it's Akama or a melee assassin in general.

Fel Orcs also have green eyes.
Was there an announcement?
I played Arthas a few times last night, and I just wouldn't die. I got yanked into a 4-man by a Dehaka, and ult + heal build let me just walk with out of there. They got me low, but that just seems crazy to me. If I were Diablo I would have been dust.
Also, Genji's D shouldn't be usable if he has been hit recently.
