A/N
Those of you who recall the Love is in the Air promotion for the game might recall that in the trailer, Zagara is seen looking at an app called "Matchmakers" - a made-up dating site that lists the likes, dislikes, and desires of Thrall, Illidan, and Anub'arak. The idea for this series was to take the concept and apply it to the heroes of the game. Not every hero (e.g. not alternate skins, so no Magni or Widowmaker), but every 'proper' hero, including ones that haven't been released yet or were canceled during development.
So, first up, Diablo.

Auriel
Likes: Cheerleading. hopscotch (hey, you know you like it), gardening.
Dislikes: Discord, strife, being compared to Wonder Woman (no, Al'maiesh is not the Lasso of Truth, it's completely different!).

Dislikes: Juries, polygraphs, nephalem.
What I'm Looking For: A nice stable partner. A person with honesty. One who will assist me in my conquest of Hell.
One of those requests is a lie.
