but only by 100 right?
can i just not math?
yea it's a big increase, I just don't know if it'll change much in the grand scheme of things. it's all relative you know.
if all that extra health is just one extra raynor right click well then
Wow a lot of people love the Coop AI mode. That queue is instant. Hero League is also quick. Quickmatch has the longest queues by far
And oh snap that guy with all his heroes at L10!! I cant get anyone to 9
Wonder how many games it takes on a character to hit Level 10??? 50 at least? It seems awfully long too me.

Quick match has to deal with a lot of people playing the same roles (assassins) or same heroes (everyone on Medic when she released/everyone trying out the newly buffed tanks after the patch/etc), plus matchmaking via MMR. AI has no matchmaking or comp rules to worry about, and HL only deals with MMR and doesn't have to find 'x' class to fill a spot so it makes it a little easier.
Once you reach a certain threshold all of the PVP queues get pretty long though.

Guys, a noob question: I want to spend my hard earned gold with viable heroes so I can enjoy HL soon, but I also would like to buy the ones I enjoy the most. As explained here, it's kind of a good practice to have at least 3 tanks and 3 support so one can make a reasonable draft. I'd like to know if a tanky hero means only a high HP hero, or if he has to have high HP and also to be a warrior. Anub'arak is an uncontested tank, but butcher could be considered one too, since he has 920 health but is an assassin?
dont worry about the classifications too much, azmodan has the most health in the game but is scared of everything
a tanky hero will usually have some sort of mitigation, mobility, or cc, and straddle the line between being ignorable and unignorable
top 3
muradin, leoric, johanna
uther, monk, tass

Who do you guys think is next?
They have three heroes that were confirmed to have been in development since forever ago: Gelbin, Zuljin, and Cho'Gall, and all three were shown in a past in-game dev screen shot that also showed Butcher/Leo/Joh prior to their release.
Those three probably got bumped back because of the LOTV co-marketing stuff and they quickly developed Medic and Artanis.
I would expect those 3 heroes to be revealed at Blizzcon, and perhaps a few other surprises such as Kelthuzad or Gul'dan.
But I definitely expect them to go back to Warcraft now haha

hopefully they rep at least 1 from each franchise plus the guy from blackthorne, I believe really heavily that some overwatch will be included too (not really an unsafe bet)
im kind of blizzarded out though, I feel like they could dig and find the perfect hero/gimmick to put into the game but I can't think of anything
would go nuts for tony hawk
maybe jaina's racist dad

Thanks man. Which means I'll have to play a lot more to get the feel of these archetypes. Well, I'll just chill out at the free rotation for a while

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?
Sorry
I... stopped trying. I played like 10 hours a day for 2 months straight during the summer vacation. Now I only play when I'm in the mood and when I've got time. It's tough, but I'll make it (all 10's) soon enough!Morales buffs looks great!

Personally I'd like to see a Diablo II character. Maybe the Necromancer where you can call up all sorts of undead minions to attack and use poison and bone skills, or a Druid who can switch between being a tank (bear) or an assassin (werewolf) on the fly. A warlock from WoW would be cool too, where you place slow burning dots and drains on everything you can while your demon does all of the melee attacks.
They have so many possibilities for heroes in this game that it's going to be nigh impossible (or just very expensive) to ever own all of them.

Give me a Peasant / Worker specialist! Build temporary structures (mini-towers? temporary spawn-point "bases"? one-shot healing fountains?), "upgrade" my side's current forts and towers, etc.
i'm like 1-7 in my first outings in QM :/
oftentimes the players i'm with won't go to objectives, which sucks but i'm also not sure Li Li is the right move - i get stunned out of her ult way too easily for example. going to go back to the drawing board, get some more time with Jaina in co-op and try her out in QM.
winston and symettra will be dope af

Malfurion is honestly my favorite support hero, with Rehgar a very close second. Although the monk is really good too, I haven't bought him yet but I probably will soon (already have him to 5). I've not played the Medic yet in a real match though, and she does seem interesting to play at least.
I generally like playing supports and specialists, more so than warriors and assassins for some reason.
Yes it can be rough. AI teaches new players very little about how the game is actually played when the enemy is 5 real people because the bots themselves often stop going to objectives or don't go as a team after the first one or two spawn. Not having that constant pressure often creates bad habits in my experience and a good bunch of players come into the actual PVP modes unprepared.
I'm sure there will be quite a few. Milly79 is
not
He needs to be able to stutter step. His best build relies on him standing still. Impossible.
Until you get Nexus Frenzy and no one can out run you.
The only GAF person I know who streams is ZPs, but he was a streamer before he was a GAF AFAIK.
He's streaming right now. Doubt you'll be able to interact with him here though as he doesn't visit regularly.
Yep. All the other AA built heroes can stutter and move. Tychus just has to stand in his spot and hope the enemy gets no closer and no further away.
Also where'd you see the buff talk?
I forgot EscapingJail. Haven't seen him post in forever though.
This is what I wanna see.

This along with the balance team looking at him, @Alur.

Blizzard's esports initiative for 2016 will hopefully also include Korea

Would be a bummer to lose an entire scene.

Hard to say what they'll do there. With WCS in SC2, they just let Korean companies run things and incorporate that into the WCS system. No clear option set up for HotS like that in Korea yet.

Artanis looks incredibly fun. His heroics are basically: 1. 1v1 me? GG you lose. 2. Teamfight? Lol enjoy the silence.
Is it too late to get Artanis early if I preorder LotV today?

yep, blind!
...his entire kit is based around his AA and buffing his AA? Was the grenade that OP?

Could be. So basically the heroic essentially disables all AA but allows ability casting?
I'm probably 100% going the damage heroic anyways. That gank potential and being able to quickly blow up a Kael, Valla, etc.
