Maybe? Idk. You've definitely gotten better since we first played with you. I'm sure at that MMR you're able to carry a bit harder. You're definitely above 1300 for sure.

I appreciate all your guys' compliments! It helps to learn when I play with high tier players like yourself. Maybe a MMR reset would be good for someone like me. Especially cause the system seems to be screwed if your team has a wide range of MMR.
BTW, after watching you play Kerri I def have a better grasp on where to place that W. The 43-0 game I only missed 2 combos. Hopefully I can still do it with people that are expecting it to come haha
It does. You can single-carry games up until you hit the "new player MMR midrange" where it all goes to hell.

Maybe people wants to use Monk full DPS (or full Heal) and fails
Mainly he has no cc and his ults are only gamechanging if the opponent makes mistakes, his numbers are nice but he cannot prevent a smarter team from disengaging from a healwar fight
I guess it kind of looks like im saying he's bad which i dont mean to, just that there are slew of better more pickable options -> he doesnt need a nerf

I've still got miles to go on learning how to place it during an extended conflict, but it's really easy to hit when they're running straight back.
It's so easy to avoid. And usually very telegraphed.
Full Monk DD is the most satisfying shit ever.
I solo'd a Muradin 100-0. It was fucking awesome and I need to gif it when I get back.

Monk paired with a long range specialist is a nightmate to dael against, I though his healing Ult is pretty OP since it cant be interrupted and make invulnerable the healing object
Nah
Gotta remember it's two completely different buckets
Maybe it just means more people play HL then QM. Or you can pull out wins others normally don't in the face of the QM bullshit randomness. Or you've just played a lot more QM then HL and it'll even out eventually
Yeah i like it on things like raynor or zag if you have ways to prevent them from dying again, but dshield feels superior in every way to me
It's been working fine for me in all games im in, it's just that it's a preventable ult
I don't think it's OP at all. It's very avoidable and most players will let it wear out. On the flip side, if you apply it too early and don't dive back in to proc it, you just wasted it as well. Unlike Ancestral, you literally have to apply it at the last second possible to get the most value.
I get its two separate brackets. I'm 4 shy of 1400 GP across QM and HL and I want to say I'm close to 300 GP in HL, so that's definitely a factor. At one point before the reset I was at rank 3 then I dropped to 13 at the worst. Ended at 9 or 10, I want to say. I solo q'd a fair bit, also quit in the draft phase a fair bit when people decide they want to play a more structured game mode (draft) and want to run a comp without tank or heals. I think I would've had rank 1 for sure had I not done that as often as I did.
Still, frustrating to hear how easy/how much more enjoyable it is for people when my experience is the opposite almost 100% of the time. I've kinda given up on chasing it. It doesn't really mean all that much and I'm still torn between having a draft/Qing up as whatever I want.

But your objetive can die if you cast it a sec later compared with monk's yet Ancestral heals more
Early in the last game I played, I jumped a laning monk as Kerrigan, landed my combo, and envenomed him, and he nearly killed me. (I don't normally pick envenom)
So, as I'm sitting at the fountain, I watch Diablo come and try the same thing, and he kills the Diablo. Just stands there, auto attacking and healing.
Even if his winrate isn't great, it's pretty silly that his healing spec can murder an assassin and a warrior, back to back. I suspect his single target DPS, as a healer, could be cooled off a bit.

He's a lane bully no doubt he outsustains a lot.
oh god my wallet, I have to find a job.
I'd assume he'll be overtuned and stupid like Leoric to make up for what looks like a hyper-underwhelming kit.
Even the graphical effects, except maybe for Bestial Wrath all look underwhelming.
He's the first new Hero I haven't been hyped for since... Jaina I guess. Which is fine, I guess, if some people actually are.

I like the Hawk attack and the Boar summons.
Short timer and he gets vulnerable till she respawns. Dunno about XP

So the spotlight didn't explain what happens if Misha dies. Does the other team get XP? Does she respawn instantly or on a timer?

I've decided to pass on MGS V right now and instead replay thru MG Rising. Oh boy did I miss that game. I feel like Illidan while playing
How much metal gear have you played previously?

Looks kinda underwhelming like a sustain DPS
He's a ranged Warrior, hence all the stuns and disables and self sustain.

Yup, I totally agree.
Lili is a great early-game lane bully. Her blind shuts down right clicks in general and right click heroes at key moments, so she's extremely useful against certain line-ups. With Fast Feet and Shake It Off, Lili can be hard to lock down and kill. She can shrug off a Butcher charge and keep skipping away all the while talking about flowers and adventure. Her heal can be focused with positioning. You just hold q and stand in the right spot. While her ultimate heal isn't always reliable, it's still pretty good.
Lili's not my favourite support to play as but she's pretty good. Has definite strengths and weaknesses.
I think some of the "Rexxar is underwhelming" comments are overlooking the part where he's basically two heroes to micro manage. Maybe not all, but some. His abilities aren't gonna be too overly intricate or awesome, it'd just be too complicated for this game and Blizzard's vision.
I think he looks alright. He's not Leoric for sure.

Rexxar is basically another Gazlowe, a merc farmer. Except Rexxar is potentially more useful in teamfights. You're not choosing between mercing or teamfight with Rexxar. You choose between a burst of pet DPS or a teamwide slow/invis reveal/track. I think most of the fun is going to come with body blocking with Misha's charge.

Oh, a warrior? I thought Rexxar was gonna be a Assassin that explains the CC and camp management.
But there are so many warriors in a row now, Jo, Leo and now Rexxar.
I'm guessing after Artanis, there won't be any more for a while, given there will be more warriors than any other character type:

He will be a warrior too? oh god.
Yes, the two formally announced heroes (sans Rexxar) are Artanis (the game's first StarCraft Warrior) and The Medic (StarCraft Support).
They've said they want more supports before implementing bans in Hero League, but I'm not sure what number they consider sufficient.

I am thirst for a specialist but the warriors are dominating the lanes, the mercs camps and defensive roles in objetives recently

Okay finally caught up on THH, great episode but Kevin totally surprised me. Yeah he still got some stuff wrong but he called the others out when the rest did too. Also he seems to be the only one among them that has any clue about EU.
I don't get the hate some of you got for him.

So, I just caught this now (due to a post in the official forums), but the Lunar Tiger is also supposed to be removed from the shop on the same day. So most likely there will be something else on sale in lieu of the Lunar Tiger.
Was actually thinking the same thing when I was listening. I just think his perspective is more in tune with the Into the Nexus podcasts' than with Town Hall Heroes.
The same date he was out the last time you asked.
Next week.
