How does this coencide with your win percentages? Just out of curiosity
I play versus AI games about half of the time so my percentages are skewed a bit. But in QM's I seem to win about 50-60% of the time irregardless of what map I'm on. That goes up quite a bit when I'm grouped with other GAF'ers though. The map doesn't seem to affect my win rate, just my fun rate.
good lookin out homie, i'll give it another week... dunno how long i can hold out - that lili default is so bad and that alt is so good
The next weeks sales are typically announced the Friday before. So just a few days and you'll know
And I agree it's her best skin. The festival isn't too bad either. Alur is a hater.
I'd imagine the games are becoming shorter too?

So tempet to buy Medic's skin since the default one is pretty gross
Me too. Just gonna try to grind up to the Samus skin though.
lololol awesome.
Welcome back bb! We missed you.
Agree 100% on the patch so far. I even enjoy the new minigame they added - quickest load times - so I can see not only I'm the highest ranked player in my group, but my computer is also the fastest. I win almost every race. Best loader in HOTS pretty sure. Kappa
After these fixes IMO there's only a few heroes left who are just bottom of the barrel for their archtype by a significant amount.
Assassins: Tychus and Nova. Warriors: Diablo. Also think Anub'arak looks even worse with the increase in tanky warriors. Support: They all seem to have their use now which is good, but I haven't tried the new Tassadar. Specialist: Also don't have a truly bad one that sticks out, once they hit a certain level below the top two or three they are mostly all on that level.
Curious how the more deep into the scene guys like brian!, kirblar, Turdburger, and co feel about Anub'arak right now? From my POV, all these other warriors going up makes the nerfs they gave to him after his patch in the sun look even more harsh now (specifically the healing and damage ones, the locust speed nerf was good).
But they release every hero overtuned and OP to sell them!!! HOTSlogs is bullshit. /s
Yoshichan
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?
Shiiiit, you're right! I just remembered that I have a 9 ½ Tassadar that I really couldn't continue (despite going back and forth between him and other characters for over 2 months). I did try Tassadar out in the PTR and he seemed fine now so I will finally be able to get that final half level :lol
This is heart warming ♥ thank you Alur!
Played Sonya a couple matches last night. Was #1 in hero damage every round. She's so beast now.
My build:
Shot of Fury (War paint depending on comps)
Focused Attack (Whirlwind cc removal depending on comps)
Follow Through
Wrath
Ancient Spear CD reduction
No Escape (Stoneskin depending on comps)
Hardened Shield
She can stick on basically anyone and put on some serious hurt with this build.

Medic is an absolutely awful solo queue support. Morales is extremely dependent on certain heroes. She's successful when paired with certain warriors and AA assassins, which QM matchmaking does not always provide. When played in a pair or group, she's awesome. When you solo queue you become a glorified taxi in some matches.
gazlowe
His noobstompiness is going to eternally make him a niche competitive pick.
Yeah I could see that.
After watching the way Gundy played him and a couple others, I think he's as viable for regular plebs like us as several of the other specialists in certain situations.
I guess you could argue you'd never take Gazlowe over "x" in the same way you'd never take Tychus over just about any other AA hero though. I just find Gazlowe to be in a better spot relative to his archetype than Tychus and Nova (though Nova did get a significant improvement in this patch IMO).
Can't remember it happening before unless there was a rework of the tree. I didn't know about this one either. Sounds pretty strange.
Agreed, that's where I'm going with it too. He's not great but like Nova he sort of has a lane and the bigger the hero pool gets the more viable it becomes to have heroes who are just good at a certain level of play unless you function highly with them. Tychus just plain sucks at his role right now due his AA being immobile unlike all the other AA heroes.
Grundy is a freak. I can count the number of good gazlowes I've seen on one hand, heck 3 fingers. I don't know how he does it and I don't think I've ever seen anyone else like it. In the non-gundiverse though Even a good gazlowe is worthless 99 times out of a hundred. They should let the hero move while charging up the laser
I think tychus could work sometime soon. His q and lazer are good against heavy warrior comps. I think he just needs a few stat boosts to all of a sudden be super good.
Yeah I'd take either at this point.
It rarely happens to me unless I'm on my main account which is lower MMR. There it happens fairly regularly and it sucks.
yeah it's happened a bunch of times
I legit have no clue WTF you are talking about. lol
If you're talking about the Browder tweet, he's saying if someone AFK's during draft and therefore rolls a random pick in a Hero League draft, the draft will end just like it does when someone dodges and that AFK player will get put in leaver queue as if they had actually dodged.

This is coming from a pretty casual player, but from Try Mode and playing with a friend, Lt. Morales seems like she has some good potential. Left my guard down for not even a minute and my core was getting demolished by a Morales healing a Kerrigan with no minions or anything. Some fun stuff is gonna happen with that Medivac, too, I just know it.

Chen is off the chains right now
So had this happen to me last night. Enemy was bombarding our core down to 11%, nobody back at base to defend. Every hits B... and well I'll just let the video speak for itself.

Just had the most bonkers Mines game in awhile, it even took half an hour.
We lost the Golem lane keep and were in no position to go for skulls so me as medic and a valla just decide to go for their keep and try to yolo core. We were a little uncoordinated and wiped with their core at ~75%.
They had 68 skulls already but opted to go for our core instead which isn't unreasonable if they didn't start retreating immediately once we respawned. Resulting in us killing 2 of them on their retreat and just ending it.
They had 3 chances to end the game but didn't take any. I think people not knowing when they can end is a pretty big issue in my MMR range, which is average to slightly above.
Morales is a lot of fun but getting to use Stimdrone can be difficult.
Holy shit, Bob almost became Tempo EU.

That megaton broke Solidjake's stream.
I kinda wish they had joined Tempo honestly. I figured Zoia and/or Reynad were actively trying as much as he brought it up. I think it's good to know that at least one sponsor was willing to double dip on the potential.
