New Tyrael:
Didn't see anything different with Tyrande
Tyrande is ability art change only

Hah, glad I didn't buy him on either server.
what is his nerf? it read like 6 of one half dozen of the other to me... and no explanation for it either. He's got like a 40% winrate. disappointed no stiches changes, and the thrall stuff was: LOL nothing!
also, where do you see zera buff?
also they didn't explain imposing on splash damage like muta's or hammer splash
Zera is unchanged, but Focus Attack will only proc on heroes now game-wide, which is a buff for him.

Monk seems INSANE. He has infinite mana if you choose insight, and at 16 his heal can remove silences, blinds, slows, and roots. Divine Palm (ultimate) is self-castable too, which I didn't expect.
His animations are great. Love that E.

Blizzard trope:
Release new Hero, have them be OPed.
Nerf eventually.
Nerf some more.
Nerf a little bit more...
Nerfed to make them more in line with the others.
Let's change it all around again!

Biggest buff: You can now spin your character in the play mode screen!
I kind of hate how the heroes change position every time a new one is released. Just when I got used to where everyone is...

I've tried to do that an unreasonable number of times. This is amazing.

They don't do the stun animation when you over-spin them like in the store, though.

Interesting that the PTR combines your hero collection across multiple servers. I have my full collection here, from both NA and Asia. When you combine them I'm only missing 8 heroes

Ugh. I love Diablo 3 but as someone with a high level toon in every class, it's hard to go back to square one with everything and grind through that campaign for the umpteeth time. Especially the first 4 acts.
It is funny but makes 100% sense. Otherwise people would try him for their 5-10 games or the week or whatever their fill is and be like, "Welp, I'll grab him when he's on rotation again".
It is super strong. Like so:
It snowballs like a motherfucker.
Oh god, it's like that on real games? - I accidentally went into training and it was blowing shit up HARD.
Dead Rush on Nazeebo is bugged, btw - they're not uprooting.

Nice. I was holding off on DIablo hoping that some day that Mike guy from the botched giveaway would mail me a code for him. I guess I'm getting him for free anyway.Saves me some gold
I need to use my self control and not get Novazon until sale. I really, really like the design, even as much a Countess Kerrigan. I also play Nova more often now that I simply stopped giving any fucks so I'm okay with being worthless in half the situations that come up.
They want to test gold gain on ptr without letting you carry it over into live.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
My dreams of telling the other team "gg ez" have been ruined.
They'd need to let you use your Real gold on the PTR client, which crosses the streams in a way they probably don't want. (HS/Heroes Gold is almost certainly part of your character file, not part of your global B.Net account, while your $ is.)

lol wat
wat. Hammer, Kerrigan, Sonya will all see play and were uncommon to non picks on the current patch. The entire ban structure will change too considering that Kaelthas and Leoric are worse
To be honest though, this patch is fucking garbage

You don't have to. Since Reaper of Souis there's been a whole new mode called Adventure Mode that's totally different from the normal Act system (you just need to beat the new act first, then it opens up). It basically opens up all the portals in the game and gives you little quests at each of them, you'll level up *very* fast. 0-70 takes no time at all these days (and is even faster if you have a high-level friend who's game you can join. I think the current record for 0-70 is something like 70 seconds)
i thought kerrigan was picked a bunch, im iffy on hammer and sonya (i can see sonya a little)
kerrigan's shield talents seem kinda nuts to me and her ult gives her shield faster now
i only played one game with her but she seems a little nuts to me
im not saying that picks/bans are different or not, just the heroes who were hanging out are still hanging out and the ones that are unnoticed are still unnoticed
what i mean about the gold thing is why cant i spend my ptr gold to buy monk for the ptr realm

I love when the punishers on the new map jump over a wall and start wailing on an enemy hero. It's hilarious.
Kerrigan was good, but both niche, huge skill cap, and was nerfed a fair bit when they changed B4B/Envenom. Some of these changes are definitely there to give builds to lower-skilled players.
i cant recall the exact matches but i swear kerrigan was picked a couple of times
actually i probably agree with turd, hammer can come back for sure with those buffs
I didn't get to test it so im still not exactly sure how imposing presence works, whether wiping the atspd debuff is on hit or on the start of the attack, it doesnt seem like much of a nerf to me if it's the former. but if you can ban muradin and pick tyreal you could probably get away with some autoattackers

ya but if good heroes become bad, then other ones will step in
Hammer definitely going to see play with a flat 10% damage buff and a nerf to imposing. They also reverted some of the health nerf
Kerrigan was played last patch, but only in precise conditions where the map and surrounding comp was made for it. I think we will definitely see a lot of her now, she's going to be a lot more durable with a 30% BFB and maelstrom being stronger and probably the most important thing is that you can't precleanse her combo now. But she's nowhere near Zeratul or Zagara's power level
i dont think we'll see less of leoric, I havent tried kael yet tho.
yeah i def cant say much about kerrigan right now since it's early, but playing against one just now I was all...really you can get away with all of that, dude won a 1v4
prtty excited to see how this patch turns out
Leoric's still good, the Leorky build just got hit, deservedly so.

Love the ui changes. The new maps punishers are super OP though.
My first game was 10 minutes long and the second one 13. It gets out of control quickly.

I didn't know Mana Tap was so legitimately terrible. Flat bonus of 20 mana per hero killed with Flamestrike, no scaling. LOL. I've insta-locked either Gathering Power or Nether Wind so many times I haven't looked at any other talents at 4 in forever.
I've got RoS and multiple 70's, the problem is this mount is tied to a seasonal character, that means you start with nothing. Everything is at nothing. You don't get any progress from your jeweler, your blacksmith, no transmog, no trash items from other characters, no hellfire ring, you get no benefit from your other characters progress.
And no one I know has played D3 since RoS dropped.
