I think that's more about the Sanctuary world as a whole.
Hopefully it'll be worth the long wait.

Too bad they didn't follow the original looks from D2 a little closer. Also the voice is not like the real Mephisto, for whatever reason. Lastly, how come none of the abilities look like Mephisto's actual abilities in D2? They could have done a much better job in these regards seriously. For example "The Butcher" from D3 that is in HOTS follows the "counterpart" from D3 much closer, so I don't understand why they "Care-Bear" and "Sweeten" Mephisto down to almost "Cuddly" in HOTS. If this is where they are going with D4 also, its nothing more than a travesty.
Well lore-wise, his appearance from Diablo 2 can't really be called "his original" since he was using the body of Sankekur as a host (same reason why Diablo looked different in Diablo 1 and Diablo 2). If i'm being honest though, I would've preferred them to use a design similar to the one from Deckard Cain's journal. Voice isn't too bad, but the laugh did lack that cackle that used to chill me to the bones.
Abilities is simple, Mephisto didn't have a lot of abilities that he used in Diablo 2. Lightning, Ice, sometimes poison, heck even his uber version just had conviction aura as an added skill. So not much they could've done with that. Rather than have a lacking character, I guess they rather try and fit his theme as Lord of Hatred.

In that case Diablo may as well be considered a copy of the siege beast as well since he also grabs the player.
