Games workshop are going to throw a fit... ;-) The medic and Artanis alternate skins are amazing, but boy do they look like a chaos space marine and an elder!
 
I hope the medic is good enough to shake up the top tier of healers, the monk literally changed nothing. While it's nice that they didn't just make another support with a giant heal dump, Divine Palm is so useless because of its telegraph. Also I hope that Artanis is the last warrior for a good long while. There's more than enough warriors in the game now, the problem is the viability warriors of Diablo, Chen, ETC and Stitches. Nevermind all of the issues with Rexxar.

Monk is surprisingly popular in competitive.

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?

Do you still get Artanis with a physical LOTV copy? (I assume so, given that's how Valla worked and the Collector's Edition still has all the bonus extras like the void ray.)

haha that was a pretty nice video for the in-development stuff. i always thought that the vulture was a larger covered motorcycle though. i guess they might not want to have covered vehicles as mounts

Don't worry about scale in hots. Protoss are 3m tall yet Tassadar and Zeratul both look to be about the same height as most of the other humanoid Heroes. And then there's Hammer's tiny tank.
 
Vehicles can only mean the inevitable arrival of rock n' roll racing mount! (Please the music from the nes game... Plsplpsplsplsplsplsplsplspls!!)

Do you think we will see a hearthstone quest for a parrot mount?

Oh, I know. I meant more about it being a covered vehicle than anything else


I always thought Hammer was funny since its like a tiny little woman inside a person-sized tank

edit2: They were indeed pumping commentary through to the crowd.

I think your suspicions about the C9/TS Cursed Hollow game are probably correct.

That would be really, really dumb. I mean, I know they aren't yet in the motion controlled isolation booths that Dota now has to put people in, but my understanding was the games being watched on the screens are 3 minutes behind the actual gameplay so that he crowds reactions aren't timed with what's happening in game?

Often on cursed Hollow a good team will know what is being done because it's such a tempo orientated map. I would wager its that more than anything.

Ah, maybe. 3 minute delay would definitely be enough. It was definitely a strange look in that game to have C9 repeatedly catching solo merc camp attempts just as they were finishing.

Dat Blizzcon Kodo to match my other Blizzcon mount.

It was always a shame kodo wasn't any good. This one is better.

Can't watch the rest yet.

It's not even a kodo though. It's just some generic grey monster thing. If it was a kodo it would be cool.

It felt like that boss attempt took forever, the comeback would have been so real if ts hadnt been so behind / they started it earlier

There's a difference between buying a (cheap) character, KNOWING that he's a solid tank (Muradin) - compared to Rexxar, in which you THINK that he'll play as a "ranged tank" but just ends up being nothing more than a creep-depusher and camp-demolisher ala Gazlowe.

There's a reason why my 'list' isn't a list based on how good the character, but rather how fun s/he's been playing as from 0-10. Muradin just wasn't my cup of tea, and is that really that much of a big deal? Let's please not forget that I have 28 lvl 10 characters and only one of the 28 falls into the utter shit category (hint, my next character that I'm leveling is in the same category as Muradin). That's not bad at all.

Yoshichan, are there any blizzard games you don't like? I swear you are the most active poster in every blizzard game OT. I remember back in 2012 I thought you were going to blow your load to diablo on Neogaf.

They should give us some other borders that signify our accomplishments and achievements. You know, the important stuff. They could all have a little decoration or symbol in the top corner like the silence border.

Border for regularly having 5-7+ deaths per game (feeder border).
Border for regularly topping damage numbers on AOE class (empty calories border).
Border for regularly having highest siege damage on a non-specialist. (holding the lane border).
Border for pinging impatiently for your team to do something every engagement every game (excessive pinger border).
Border for being the last one in (you guys can't die without me border).
Border for regularly taking lopsided fights (Rambo border).
Border for being a member of the brown horse brigade (generic brown border).
Border for dying while trying to complain about a teammate in chat (pause button border).
Border for missing "x" amount of skillshots (offset border).
Border for frequent AFK at the beginning of games (appears after two minutes border).
Border for 56k connection during loading (56k border).

Those are a few of my ideas.

Yoshichan, are there any blizzard games you don't like?

Based on his posts and broken things pictured in each thread he doesn't like any of them lol, It's a real love/hate thing I assume.

It's a shit company (today) and I barely agree with any of their decisions regarding most things. Some would even say that I dislike all their games today. I can't however deny the fact that they've made some -ridiculously- quality titles over the past 15 years and I still have faith that they will grow to be the same awesome company that they were 8-9 years ago... I'm not a nostalgia-scrub though, I still enjoy Heroes, SC2, WoW, Diablo. They all range from solid titles to masterpieces. But here's hoping Overwatch will be my next game that I will dedicate my life to.

edit: Also, my right hand... or knuckles, hurt after todays QM session :/

Yoshichan hype in the Blizzcon threads is the main reason I bought a Virtual Ticket this year.
And for this, you shall be rewarded a great place next to the throne in the OT banner!

God, I can't wait till Blizzcon finally is upon us. The amount of Overwatch beta key beggings will be insane!

Overwatch + D3 expansion 2 hype will be too much

at this point there'd better be a d3 expac there lol, people seem to be expecting it.

really it's the franchise that's due for an announcement
 
Yeah I think it's more like people expect to be at least some D3 news, because there hasn't been for a long time and considering they still release regular patches(although not that often) and continue supporting it, it would make sense they haven't given up on the franchise yet. But who knows really, it's Blizzard.

I'm looking forward to Overwatch beta, kinda. In the sense that I'm looking forward to playing the game, so if I'm not invited I probably won't care much about the beta. My beta invite history with Blizzard tends to not be too lucky either, so not holding my breath.

On a hots note, we're going to get a Medic preview this week right? Wonder if they'll have a PTR again or if they'll do it Rexxar style and just patch it in and then fix the bug a week later.

Would think there'd be a PTR, hence the video going up today to beat MMO-Champion to the punch. Rexxar didn't get one cause he was the 2nd hero on the same patch.

basically they have a whole Diablo team and they're not doing anything but making 2 patches a year at this point. They have to be doing something, unless they are moving big portions of the team into HOTS or Overwatch and leaving a barebones group for Diablo support/updates.

I believe they did mention the D3 team is very small, and it's more like 3patches a year too, seasons are like 4months, not 6. But yeah I hope they have an expansion on the way, I'll definitely buy it. I'd also buy microtransactions(stash tabs and character slots that is, I have no interest in cosmetics) but it seems, kinda surprisingly, they haven't been too keen on adding these. I guess stash tabs/chars slots would come as an increase in costs to run the servers and stuff though, so not sure they'd make the money back, I don't really know.
