Finally tried Tyrande since the changes to Shadowstalk. I do rather like the change, makes it way more viable and gives it a lot more uses too. Especially in solo queue where it was hard to coordinate a stealth gank anyway. Her healing numbers have shot up too. While I'm not sure she could solo heal, she's a lot closer than she was.

Tempo should have just done some wacky strats and have fun losing.

Reminds me of that big debate with Olympic Badminton and teams intentionally trying to lose games after they qualified from groups in order to procure a more favorable match-up in the knock-off rounds. They were trying their best to win the tournament according to its rules, but they weren't playing individual games in a competitive way. I can't say it's their fault for exploiting a problem in tournament design to their advantage.

The games weren't meaningless though, the result determined the opponent they'll face in the bracket. Now they'll face C9 earlier than they should want to, really don't get why they did it.
I don't see where the TO messed up.
they were disqualified though, and it was really entertaining to watch.

Traveling this weekend so hadn't had much time to post. Here's some things I was thinking:
Lol at the MMR discussion again. A lot of you people are crazy. and I think the 20 placement matches are literally only there to hide people's rank so no one can complain "why do I have this rank 34 guy on my team!?"
Also, nexus blades on Sonya is trash booty garbage. 20% damage is so terrible compared to iron skin. Nexus blades are only a really good choice on zeratuln because his autos hit for like 700 at 20 and maybe maaaaaaaybe thrall if your stomping because his get up to like 450. And even in both of those cases if iron skin was an option you'd be crazy not to take it. That's why you get rewind on zera so much.

So your point is that iron skin is picked 4x more then nexus blades? Or that iron skin is every one of the top 10 builds? Thats not even considering that talent pick rates and talent win rates mean very little when considering the quality of a talent.
What is the win rate of Sonya comps that reach lvl 20?
I mean if you want to do an extra 40 - 60 damage on your autos at 20 instead blocking thousands of damage then go for it, but if your in a match where that's the right pick then it doesn't matter what you get at 20 because you've already won.

This is very interesting. (lolMorales) Tass/Uther/TLV jump substantially. Hammer/Murky/Gazlowe all fall.

I sometimes top hero damage with mine build, he's a clear assassin.

Yeah, Blizzard need to fix Sonya. Now.
She is utterly ridiculous if supported, to an extent that is completely unfun in a quick match or hero league. All it takes is Sonya + a decent spot healer and the game is horrible, and if the spot healer is Uther then you may as well go home.
She's going to be first ban every game at Blizzcon unless they do something to her, and that's stupid because it completely messes up the ban strategy. But you can't let anyone get that character right now.

They could "find" a random bug and globally ban her.

It's to the point that I will basically always counterpick Brightwing right now so I can Polymorph Sonya. It's the best I can think of to counter her right now. Sonya is just stupid.
I wouldn't mind Valeera (elf rogue from WoW) as well. But your list sounds great. The Diablo Wizard esp would be nice to have
Boy have times changed. Just a few months ago people were asking for Sonya buffs. Be careful what you wish for! LOL
Had a hard time fighting against a Sonya in ranked match last night. Wasn't sure if it was due to my entire team (including myself) just playing bad tho

I ve done the cheap trick. I'm ready!

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?
Uh, that's weird... print screen and link the picture here in this thread (cover up all the important info).
This is the email I got 2 hours after sending my ticket in:
Yeah same, it only took me a few hours to get a reply along with an order confirmation for Artanis.
I'll be blunt, my first thought when I watched that was map hacking. Sometimes the Lili seemed to find him way too quickly.
Was funny that he didnt realise Lili outduels Zeratul though...
Its that his role is half spec half support, and that in matchmaking he's kind of annoying in the spec slot.
htc playoffs have started fyi, c9 vs ts right now http://www.twitch.tv/htc

Wait a second first game is over already? Chen, Butcher what's going on?
Chen got incremental buffs, which should help move him out of the super-marginal niche pick spot he was in.
I expect them to slightly uptune Stitche's non-bile/gorge damage in an aim to improve his QM/H win %, his base talent design seems very solid now and its the big QoL issue remaining.
