Which format do you want it in? I can do most of the stuff pretty easily, based on what you’d need.

So far, I’m guessing (in CSV format):

• Name
• Universe (Franchise)
• Realm
• Event (if any)
• Seasonal (Spring / Summer / Fall / Winter) - perhaps “Limited”, too?

A version for Skins, Mounts and Banners, of course. Sounds good? 😁

Feel free to reach out, if you want a full list of Skins and Mounts alongside their respectful Universe, Realm (a lot of that is, obviously, unconfirmed) and Events. I'd be happy to make an export! 🥳

And thanks for the mention, /u/PLCMarchi! ♥

First of all, it's awesome how you reached out for the community like this! It's always a pleasure to feel like we can help somehow!

I've tried to read everything to not repeat stuff so here it goes:

Warrior is a tag I belive to be important, specially considering the old system. I belive most of the tags should have a practial use, even tough some easter eggs are nice.

Searching for Siege I'd hope to find heroes with high siege damage. Same for burst and sustain. (Maybe this could turn to be complicated because some heroes could fit is many categories depending on build or even player's style.)

Fire could have Kaelthas, diablo, alexstraza

Ice could have Mei, Arthas, Jaina, KTz

Earth could have thrall

Amani only shows the Amani tint but I belive it could show every War Bear because they use the wow amani bear model.

Nor beetle neither bug shows anubarak

Troll only shows Zul'jin, should show Vol'jin too.

Flame could show Helldorado

Pirate could show Hogger's skin

For now I guess that's it!

Edit: I'll just add some feedback on it

- I'll mostly use it for banning heroes. It would be a lot easier if I had a "ban list" just like the favorite list.

-The other use is to find mounts and skins that match by color.

-The "Event" tab is often a problem to me; I'd rather have event horses in "horse" tab, for exemple. Maybe have the "event" tag instead of tab could work better for me. Can't say for other people, however.

- Would be neat to be able to have favorite mounts and portraits somehow, be it tagging, be it a tab, or any other way.

No, not like that.

I use the voice Chat (the push to talk-button is circumflex). And when I later want to ban a hero, naturally the circumflex I pressed earlier will show up in the search bar, messing up the search.

Sounds dumb and probably is, but I freaked out several times already.

I have missed banning "Diablo" so many times by searching him in Hero Select it's insane.

Why? Because every Diablo Hero shows up, and often Diablo himself isn't in the top results.. Please put the actual Hero "Diablo" as the top priority for that search!

However, I recently did learn that searching "red" finds Diablo, and only Diablo (despite there being many other red Heroes, like Valeera).. except, I never remember to do this on the spot. I only learned that by looking through datamined files.

A few things I noticed! 😁

Maybe not directly related, but: Poor Escobar. Unlike his buddies - Timmy, Bobby, Frankie, Joey and Tommy - he's a racoon, rather than a raccoon.

The Citrine tint of the Thunder Guard Zarya Skin seemingly has "Thunderguard" as one word, unlike the remaining ones.

If you want to carry Leoric's Charger as Cho'gall, you currently have to search for "Leroic*" instead, as the name is off.

... and, lastly (which I doubt makes any difference search wise) is also related to Cho'gall's newest (and magnificent) Skin Greed Cho'Gall. Unlike their other Skins, Gall's name is capitalized.

Keep up the good work! 😍

If a search keyword is a substring of the hero name, these heroes should be shown first in the list.

For example, I type "de" if I want Deathwing, Deckard or Dehaka at the beginning of my list, then every hero matching by a keyword, instead I get a list that starts from Illidan.

Also:

"Warcraft 2" should include Deathwing.

"Fire" does not include Kael'thas

"Ice" and "Frost" keywords return nothing but would be cool if it returned Arthas, Jaina, Mei and Kel'Thuzad, same for "Zealot" for Artanis and Alarak.

Recently when I start searching for "falstad" for a ban, I'm always surprised to see junkrat pop up. My friend said it was because his name is Dr Fawks or something like that

It's my own fault, but maybe it can be adressed nevertheless:

After using the ingame voicechat (I know, I belong to an endangered species), I often struggle to ban Heroes because the circumflex (which is the standard assignment) will appear in the search bar. This may be an inherent problem, but would it be possible to overrite this saved information at the beginning of a new search?

:)

The carbot sprays for specific Heroes are hard to find using the search bar. Not sure which tags are used there, but I always end up scrolling through everything.

In some places, yes. But not in Collection -> Portraits or Emojis

Two things that should probably work:

Gnome - Chromie

Alexei - Stukov

I would love to be able to search for skins/mounts based on the realm they are from, just like Gnuless organized them on the Nexus Compendium. For example to search Mistharbor for the Bottleship and Shipwrecker Hogger, Luxoria for the Magic Carpet and Desert Queen Zagara, etc.

It already works for some items, but is inconsistent.

By store I assume you mean the in game shop with skins and mounts and such?

​

One thing for me is searching seasonal skins can sometimes be a challenge.

​

For Example, the last Fall event was "Craft Wars" and all of the skins found in those chests have a flag that says "Found in Craft Wars Loot Chests" However I cannot use the term "Craft Wars" to locate any of them.

​

It can be hit or miss. Searching the term "Winter" will bring up several of the skins found during the Winter events (Or with Winter in their name like Winter Veil Jaina). The Toys versions of Stitches, Dehaka, and Valeera all appear, but Mephesto and Qhira do not, as another example.

​

Basically, I am trying to search by seasons (Especially current seasons to make sure I have everything I want before they go away for a year) and am often unable to find them easily.

Rarely actually! Here's a few search terms that are missing some results though:

"gnoll" doesnt show Hogger, "mage" only shows Kael'thas, "nexus" only brings up Qhira and finally the Regal Tiger and Tamed Ravasaur mounts aren't showing up when using the search term "ranked".

Speaking of ranked reward mounts I believe that there are some slight visual errors regarding the Quillbear mount; there seems to be an issue with some of the planes of the "teeth" of its helmet, right next to the mount's mouth, when looking at it at any angle besides straight up. Kinda hard to describe, here is an image where i highlighted the area. Also parts of the helmet are moving very organically, as if they were following a breathing pattern.

Have trouble with the funny u in lucio

I wish there was a a tag system visible.

Ganker, soak, clear, camps, burst, sustain, cc etc

I have missed banning "Diablo" so many times by searching him in Hero Select it's insane.

Why? Because every Diablo Hero shows up, and often Diablo himself isn't in the top results.. Please put the actual Hero "Diablo" as the top priority for that search!

However, I recently did learn that searching "red" finds Diablo, and only Diablo (despite there being many other red Heroes, like Valeera).. except, I never remember to do this on the spot. I only learned that by looking through datamined files.

I’m not sure if it’s related but sometimes i have difficulties to ban some heroes because of localization. For example if i wanna search gazlowe to ban him, i can’t search him by his original name (“gazlowe”) but only by some adjectives or by his italian name (“sparachiodi”).
Some heroes’ names differs by only one added/missing/different character. Can we have the english (original) name be present anyway in every localization?

Only kind of tangentially related, but something that commonly bothers me is when I search for in the store, the default tab is the featured tab, so the search by default searches there. It'd be nice if when searching in the featured tab, it would include the hero tab.

Also, alphabetical sorting seems a bit weird, here's an example of the first page in skins sorted by alphabetical, I wouldn't expect to see the Nephalem skins there, but would expect stuff like Angelic Valla and the like. I think that's because the sortnames for that stuff is things like 1SonyaVar2

I do recall someone mentioning to me that some newer skins lack the additional search text, but I don't know which skins in particular.

/u/Blizz_KinaBREW hey Brew! Just to make sure this is not lost on notifications, I hope at least the mount colors may be of some use! There is also a second part of it with skins and heroes suggestions on a second reply!
