Sales are a weekly thing.

Sales are weekly just like League and what-not. Illidan hasn't been on sale as a hero yet (which could mean soon), though his skins have...but as a discussion a few pages back noted, you're better off spending gold on 2k and 4k heroes and money on 7k and 10k heroes if you have money to spend.
This is a good point too. They just did a revamp of the difficulty notations for a portion of the heroes and they are still pretty wonky.
For example Uther has a skillshot heal and his typical build takes several "extra buttons" to press (usually at least 3 or 4) yet he is marked as Easy. Rehgar on the other hand is marked as Medium though the only questionably difficult thing with him is timing his healing ultimate.
The same for assassins as Jaina and KT occupy the same space, yet one is labeled Hard (KT) and the other Medium (Jaina) though you need to get in closer range to perform Jaina's combo. At the minimum they should be equal, though to be fair the labels came out before/just as Jaina had Sprint removed so that may be part of it.
Source? Any clue why it didn't go up earlier?
It's still Monday here in California.
I don't have an ETA to share right now, but we'll let you know if something comes up and we're unable to release PTR today.
.
That's usually the case, which is likely why they want it up ASAP.

Ah yes I remember your Aba video when BoE came out. I'll check out all your videos tonight. I feel as if Aba can really make a difference in a game so I want to try and learn
Cool, let me know if you have any questions. Keep in mind most of my backdoor build videos are on an old patch that isn't quite applicable now. But, I also plan to get a new Abby video up once Monk launches. Hopefully that launch will be soon!
That's awesome. Probably not going to pull that off consistently, but it feels great when you can roll a game like that. Share the replay somewhere so we can check it out!
Yessssss, we need more Abathur players in here. Buy him ASAP!
Ah yeah, you're right. I just CTRL+F'd the list on the website, it doesn't have the past two weeks though. My bad.

I love playing Abathur but I'll admit I'm not fantastic with him. I think he's one of the hardest heroes in the game to play well. I pretty much just play him in Versus AI games because whenever I play him in a QM I feel bad for my team, lol! I really should practice more with Abathur and get better with managing him.
Ditto.
PATCH NOTES FOR PTR
Mine hasn't downloaded a damn thing. It started and now it's just hung at the beginning. Getting slammed I guess.
EDIT: Treasure Goblin is a limited time gold only mount.

Hitting Zera without dumpstering him will be tricky.

Played as Abathur with a master skin nova. Pretty sure we pissed some people off. That combo is so gross.

Awesome! I hope she's good again. My favorite support.
Is it 15-20% just on her passive? What about blink heal?
Just the passive. They said we should see 15-20% more heals from the buff per game.
The secondary Symbiote targets Stab and Spike Burst deal half their normal damage, and Carapace grants half its normal Shield amount.
Such buffs!
Oh dang, nice. Thank you.

Good. She is my fave.
Didn't catch that part. Still, the fact that it shifts has to be considered equal to before if not a buff as in my experience it was often wasted quickly unless your team was all on voip.
It's kind of one of those good in theory bad in execution talents. When it works it's beautiful though.
they really dont like seasoned marksman
also this:
makes me think they have no idea what they're doing... not because they nerf the talent, because the words they are using in this description are just... ridiculously out of place? The quest didn't feel meaningful to complete? What game are you playing?
edit: only about half way through, but these are without a doubt the best patch notes we've had in ages. will post more impressions soon.
edit2: I was about to be sarcatically mad about leoric's changes, but they made it right be buffing the heal from W while undying... that's how it should work, passive stuff is still somewhat useful, but getting off a full W while dead should be the best/optimal way to reduce you're CD... it makes his ability to come back into the fight in the mid game better or at least equal while reducing his OPness in the late game.
edit3: sonya changes are not a buff. extra 120 hp by lvl 10 is like nothing. nerf to whirlwind heal from neutrals ruins her early game which was one of her strongest aspects.

Zeratul gets buffed, Zag stays the same, Jaina/Kael/Leoric get the nerf bat.
Wat
Wat
They're down on generics in general now.
Per HeroesNexus - Datamined release dates for Monk is August 19th, and Rexxar is Sept 8th
And Tass got nerfed. That FA change is amazing for Zera. Insta-2nd ban every game now.

I saw that too. Hope they are good.
Always good for some unintended humor when a new Zag goes ham on a chest on to see...balls roll around boxes.

Jaina is still a top pick, but it will be extremely interesting this patch to see if auto attack heroes are actually viable. I'm glad they told imposing presence to go fuck itself
The wording on Kerrigan's BFB implies that she gets healed 10% and then gets an additional 20% as shields. If that's how it actually works, that's pretty big. Cleanse nerf will already help Kerrigan immensely but with the talent changes and overall buffs she's definitely going to be played a lot more this patch
