Melee healer is tricky by default. You want to contribute with damage while keeping yourself and allies healthy. I think a lot of the potential of Rehgar is wasted if you play lili-mode with him. Feral lunge can be ridiculous sometimes and on some maps, versus some comps you want healing totem, slowing totem or farsight talents.

I'm not surprised really. The amount of Rehgars I've seen trying to be a melee dps is quite staggering. Although it's nice if you can do some damage on a target as Rehgar, healing should still be your priority in my opinion. Instead they seem to chase, focus only on damage, and get themselves killed.
So apparantly if you get the SCII-3 Digital Deluxe, you not only get the Void Seeker mount, but also an upcoming StarCraft Warrior.
Which makes sense, since the odds are pretty good for having a fall SC2 'expansion' for HoTS. We're in dire needs of SC maps and heroes.
But who would the warrior be? Probably Fenix or Artanis, I suppose. Could they make a Ranged Warrior Dragoon Fenix work? Or would they use his old, old Zealot form?

No more protoss dudes please. They all look the same. Would like to see something creative with a Sentry or Colossus warrior.

I think this is a general problem among all bad players, not just Rhegar. So many players want to treat Warriors and Specialists as Assassins. Warriors especially. Early game Johanna is probably the most common suspect.

I aint no pro.. But from my experience, i think it's cool if you don't over commit.. Keeping an eye for possible team fight/ganks etc, but if situation is allowing and no one is doing the lane then ofc the exp is worth it.

It's fine, but not ideal. Most supports can't clear lanes well, so you're at risk of having your lane pushed-in. Also, since supports excel at... supporting, and you have no one to support, you're sort of squandering your capabilities. If I'm playing support I will generally ask someone to lane with me or if I am playing a non-support class I'll move into a lane with a solo support.

I have the most games played and won with tyrande. She taskes some skill to play, but you can absolutely wreck with her.
If you've only played a few games with her, she's going to seem terrible.

But bw can do it in some maps where he can just jump into teamfights.
That's split-pushing, she's just able to soak the EXP safely because of her Z. She still isn't particularly good at clearing the actual waves.

I think releases are always on Tuesday right?
Tyrande/Jaina is great, but I think you need a burstier hero than Zagara in that last spot. Zag/Tyrande don't synergize well at all.

I look forward to there being slightly fewer Butchers as more people spam queue Leoric.
After playing with him in Co-op to get to 5, there's no way I pick him in solo queue.

I've become extremely good with butcher, love this dude
Any hero is welcome beyond the trifecta of op Jaina/Kael/Zeratul
The slowing turrets were a great response to the other team having 3 melee heroes + Rehgar.
It's just not going to deal much vs a team of mages.
While I am not amazing by any means, I have won all my games with BW since the patch. I like the new BW more with the reduced CD on Phase Shift allowing you to shield heroes more. And Pixie Dust bouncing is so good as long as teammates know how to utilize the speed boost in certain situations .

Good stuff in the US open.. Sadly I missed Tempo Storm.. How were they?
Can someone explain to me like i'm five, why this loser bracket system is good? How come you get to challenge the winner of winners in a final? How is that fair in anyway?
Edit: oh no wait! I get it now! It's ok bracket system!

Are we expecting new balance changes aswell?
Unlikely to have anything major beyond bugfixes.
No one fucking likes Tampon Storm.
Man I am so in love with Abathur as a character in this game. He's so flexible and fun to play as. I know some people have this image that Abathur's are underappreciated but I actually find I get the most compliments when I'm playing as Abathur because people realize when you save them.
I'm about level 8 with him and I feel like I'm doing pretty good because I'm winning most of my quick matches. But I certain realize that I can improve my game with him. I feel like I need to exploit my map awareness a bit more to help my team. Plus we haven't been through the entire free play rotation yet so I still need to train on other heroes to really learn them. I love playing Abathur in this game so much that everytime I play another hero I feel like I'm just training my Abathur game, lol.

do you need to pre-order the digital deluxe edition of starcraft for the heroes stuff?
also, is mcintyre not playing for complexity anymore?
edit: yea i guess he stepped down http://www.complexitygaming.com/news/4512/

Damn. That's a surprise.
He deserves a better team anyway. He should just go be someone else's Zuna or the like and be a piece instead of trying to run the whole show.

Oh.. Ok.. So now at least one person likes them, since I do
Go Tampon! Soak like never before!
I bet Vortex grabbed him.

Do you have a link or something to this information, on the blizzard page it says nothing about getting a starcraft warrior? just the mount.

From what I know, it's due to his moving all the time--he has been moving around for the past few months and always had changing Internet and situations and surroundings that seemed to often affect his play and their team, but from what I understand he just settled somewhere this past week but maybe his team grew tired of it? But I'm obviously suspecting there's something more that happened. They lost a match in heroes hype RO4 to The Pleyz this past week-- partially due to a knock back bug with the dragon knight on d shire--but they had no business losing and it appears all shit hit the fan after that.
He hasn't elaborated and rightfully so. I thought he and Blinks and Trummel would never break up so I'm still shocked. If I had to be honest though trummel looked like the biggest dead weight on that team recently; even more so than their recent carry addition of h0ns.
He said on his stream tonight before I left that he has a multitude of offers to sort through and that he expects to have a new team by the end of next week.... I am sure Vortex was probably one of first teams if not the first to hit him up.
I'd be interested to see if he joins with another organization such as Cloud 9 or Tempo Storm or whether he tries to forge his own path.
The dudes awesome and you should all support him and follow him on twitch if you don't alreay. There's truthfully not a more down to earth and dedicated guy in the entire pro scene

As of tonight they haven't, but I'm sure they've expressed interest to him and honestly I'd be surprised if that isn't where he ends up because it makes the most sense. Their TigerJK experiment failed horribly and they need a player to play melee assassins. McIntyre is probably the best Kerrigan player in the world and is at least competitive with the rest of the melee assassins.
Vortex has always been one of coL's main scrim partners; for example their scrims with coL from waht I understand were crucial to Vortex pulling out the Zeratul/Abathur combo in ESL S2 Playoffs that knocked off Maelstrom and almost nailed Tempo Storm, so he's clearly in good graces with that team, and it just makes too much sense because they're missing the role that he fills.
If he goes any other path he probably has to make his own team from scratch and I certainly wouldn't want to do that if I was him so we'll see I guess haha
