Stitches main problem is he his cds are very long on the useful abilitys. That and his cleave is pathetic, especially compared to someone likes Leorics.

Restarted on the Asia servers. Bought the $5 pack to get started. Sigh...I guess in a month or two I'll be back to where I was.

BWing is slightly better than the public perception of her reflects. Her healing is not great in the early game but she's good at preventing burst, provided you can guess correctly which teammate is about to get slammed. The warp shield is awesome and lasts 20 seconds. By the end game she's really good.
I'd rather be Tyrande too, though, but not because of the healing.

After playing other heros for a month, Played three games as Tyrande yesterday, the feelings are real, Tyrande will you marry me? <3
Yeah but that isn't exactly ideal imo. If someone's ran in and done something stupid already, which happens 90% of the time in pugs, you cant do anything as bright wing anymore. Hence why tyrande could even be considered better healing wise. She can atleast use her heal and protective shield to fix the mess.
There's also the issue of multiple targets taking damage that happens far too often in this Kael and Jaina meta, which again bw wouldn't be able to do anything about. Basically why Rehgar and Malf are considered strong.
Just don't think she has much of an healing place at the moment sadly. BW was my most played hero but I've barely touched her since the patch. =/

Sometimes I find the lack of items in HotS frustrating, this game is so geared towards disables and there's not a whole lot you can proactively do about it as a melee hero. I just wish there was a talent that was the equivalent of the Black King Bar so I could manfight with Thrall and not worry about being stunned six ways to Sunday in every teamfight.

This is why cleanse is so damned good. I love playing Uther paired with a Butcher. Cleanse on Butcher pretty much wins every situation.

Nah i don't believe you
The lack of items doesn't bother me too much. If anything it was a bit of a positive in the beginning. I think a lot of melee heroes need work done to them in general. Besides Zeratul they just don't have enough survivability without a healer like Uther or Rehgar to keep them up.
I really had no idea. You always seem so calm!
Stop playing.
You find everything about anything frustrating.
It's rough. Would not recommend and that's my favorite hero. Just can't cut the mustard with randoms and if you wanna go 2 heals in a premade you're better off taking Tass or Tyrande for the damage implications.
They took too much healing and didn't compensate with any return in damage or anything other than "make an educated guess about incoming damage with your phase shield or pixie talents and hope you're right!"
I really like it. Not because of chasing the next rank but because you also only lose 8-12. In essence, if you win a few in a row once you get there you never have to worry about losing it. And if you do it grants nearly everyone skill bonus again to regain it. I'm fairly certain that'll all change when grandmaster drops with the new season.
The most satisfying thing in the game just may be to watch an enemy Nova line up a triple tap that would wipe out its target, you jump in and take the last hit to spread the damage out, saving your ally. Then, you both turn on Nova crying 'where is your god now?' and tear her to pieces.

Not true. Yoshi loves 3rd Strike.
I'm honestly still looking down the rabbit hole. I need to stop looking at hotlogs right after every match. It's making me salty for no reason and I'm a little soured on the game at the moment because of that. I usually explained things when I saw bad plays but now I don't bother for fearing of going overboard.
That number man, so easy to focus on getting it higher and higher.
You're telling me you've never broken a fightstick playing 3rd Strike?

Mount mode is fucking amazing.
I read that he'll only be 25% off though.
I will buy Diablo and Kaiju Diablo only if I can make Godzilla noises.

I'd buy mecha Tass but I've given up on him. I can't play him for shit even though I've almost got him to 10. I try to make him a support and I'm not good enough to keep people up. I try the assassin/specialist build with him and I'm garbage with Force Wall. Like bad enough that I kill at least one teammate per game with it and get bitched at for 5 minutes.
There are so many characters in this that are good but I can't play worth a damn, and characters that are lower tier that I'm extremely effective with. It's odd.

Thanks.
Got'em and as much fun as I have with him I'm 0/4 in QM so I've been pretty hesitant on using him.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Good writeup on Reddit highlighting hero-specific maps: https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/3eg88b/mapspecific_hero_win_rates_help_explain_the/
The Li Li/Malf stuff is really interesting.

Best hero in-game by a mile for solo-queue. (Zeratul needs more coordination to be stronger for the VP setups.)
