The thread is slow enough that you probably want to keep the Blizzcon HotS stuff here, the general gaming can be a shitshow more often than not.
forgot to add one of those absolutely wonderful dota emotes
what role are you playing? warrior?
People will automatically follow you in if you have a good initiation. However, the worse you teammates are the better the engagement needs to be for them to recognize the opportunity.
maybe you're just not getting great initiations.

The inability to undo permanent damage as Tassadar still makes for a poor QM experience as solo healer especially if you have a really bad ping. His Q on mines is pretty broken though.
And he is ridiculously fun. Kind of in the same way Rexxar was before they fixed him (meaning he'll probably get even better), but still, fun is fun.
Hey, there's more than 4 of us posting! ;-)
And yeah, everyone's expecting a ton of announcements at Blizzcon given how much time they are devoting to it. Personally I think we'll see:
1) grandmasters league, and match maker changes in general
2) Zul'Jin, Cho'gall, Kel'Thuzad, Diablo Wizard
3) two new battlegrounds, including the first Starcraft battleground
4) next years pro schedule, with more money and events than expected
5) so many beautiful skins

I really enjoy the medic 
You are too early bb. Sales and bundles don't usually change til afternoon PST and it's only 6:30 AM here.

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?
Oh, thank you sweety ♥ Didn't know that
Well, I meant in a new thread
. Though probably more than 4 there too like Syfadious said with the shitposters.If you are right on your hero predictions I'll be thrilled. Zul'jin and Kel'Thuzad are on my wanted list for sure, and I'm quite happy with the other two as well.
I agree we'll see a SC map for sure, and I'm hopeful we see another legendary skin or two on top of regular skins. They really need to go back and add a new skin a piece to some of the heroes released earlier this year. Kael'thas' skins suck, for example, unless you grab his master. Give him something cool. I don't even play him, but he needs it.
I actually may have misspoke. I know the weekly sale doesn't go live til the afternoon, but in theory the bundle could be up as the game comes up from maintenance. Granted that's (supposedly) at 11 AM PST so it's not really much earlier, but still.
In the meantime, I personally am holding onto my butt and praying to Ytar, Guitar, and Sitar that she/he guides me into Overwatch beta.

Steampunk Kaelthas is glorious
It's a good idea but it's so damn drab looking...which I get is part of the point of that skin, but when you compare his skins with someone like Jaina/Zera/Thrall/Abathur/Murky/Stitches who have multiple good skins it's kind of lacking.
I wouldn't ever put Steampunk KT near the top 10 or even 20 skins is what I'm saying, but YMMV.
The worst offender of all is ETC, though. His skins are flat trash because of the colors until you get the master.

Don't even try to tell me something different GAF.
Clearly, we need LORD JARAXXUS, EREDAR LORD OF THE BURNING LEGION!
The hammy quotes alone would make him worth it.

I still want Milhouse, with a Milhouse skin
Steampunk KT is nothing particularly special but it's the best bundled release skin exempting Medic since I started, which was slightly before sylvanas

I think we should forget about established Blizzard lore and characters and promote Hearthstone:
Annoy-o-tron, Grim Patron, and Dr. Boom will be the next three heroes added to Hearthstone of the Storm.
We will follow that up with Knife Juggler, Goblin Blastmage, and in an unprecedented move we will add the weapon Doomhammer as a hero into the game. It'll be kind of like a Dancing Sword from D&D, only fucking awesome cause it's Doomhammer. Also Doomhammer didn't exist before Hearthstone, plebs. Don't tell me any different.
Rebranding Heroes of the Storm to Hearthstone of the Storm will ensure it doesn't die as everything Hearthstone is immensely popular and generates cash hand over fist so why not a whole new Hearthstone game.
WUT. We must have vastly different tastes. Leoric's Vyrkul, Kharazim's Jade Dragon, and Rexxar's Frost Lord are all better to me. Hell, even Butcher's and Sylvanas' bundle skins were better. The only recent one I don't like more is Johanna's Centurion.

All I want is Cho'gall. Everything else can wait.

At this point Hearthstone already promotes WoW and HoTS.
I hate most of the ones you named. Agreed on Centurion though and Sylvanas' is awful as well, since it doesn't have the standard skins cloak physics. Jade Dragon takes away the visual effect of Kharazim's trait. Yeah the red Jade Dragon skin is Firelord from Avatar which is pretty neat.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Wow, I hadn't realized it before but there isn't a Starcraft map, holy shit.

Okay let's list them
Sylvanas - No cloth physics, horrendous clipping
Kael'thas - I love steampunk, changes his trait
Johanna - Simply awful
Butcher - Looks like he's supposed to be a chimney or something
Leoric - Too disproportionate
Kharazim - No visible trait, prefer the base skin
Rexxar- Dunno haven't played or paid much attention to his skin, it looks alright I guess
Medic - GOAT

I wonder wheter now that I cheated Artanis could I buy the bundle half off when it comes out?

IIRC Cooby said on THH that wouldn't work because the bundle has to have at least 3 items in it to be considered "dynamic".
EDIT: Watching ZPs play Overwatch and feeling sorry for myself. Also, probably the end of ZPs streaming HOTS I'm assuming?

Bummer on the bundle, can't say I'll miss ZP.
Pretty much, except Medic which has an amazing skin already.
I dig Ranger General Sylvanas because it goes so well with the Gold Tiger and the Gold Doubloon. Looks good with a lot of things really. I don't mind so much about the physics I guess.
And yeah it is kind of silly that her effects aren't updated, but I'm guessing that'll come eventually like it has with other skins.

Won 8 games in a row last night for the first time since probably May.
RE: Quick Match: I gave up trying to push round pegs into this game's square meta, so I've just been rolling with either a hybrid locust/prolific dispersal/needlespine + Monstrisity or mines + Evolution build with Abathur now, and it seems to mesh much better with the majority of games right now seeing as how 90% seem to be lane until 7, team fight until 16, split push until end. Support Abathur is now even more limited to ideal comps than ever before because the game is so top heavy with position altering CC and immortal tanks, and games are lasting so long that split pushing and lane pressure are sometimes the deciding factor. I think I won 3 games last night where we stopped winning team fights after 20 minutes but the game still crawled for another 10 and we ended up winning because of siege even though the other team had 20+ more kills than we did.
As for Kerrigan, I've settled into a blades + shield build as the only viable option for my playstyle. Having the ability to heal off Ravage I think makes me think I should use it more than I should.
Oddly enough, I'm enjoying Tassadar more now as a support. He's really fucking annoying if you have a Hammer + Morales with you. Like, 4 people on their team blow ults and still can't kill him or Hammer annoying.

I had a streak of 9 a few days back. Lots of stuff like 5 or 6-2 which is gravy too. Every 3rd day or so I seem to just go into tailspin and am lucky to claw out even. Yesterday I went 1-4 in HL. Was awesome /s.

Is it me, or do there seem to be a lot of people that only play Specialists? I've been in so many games where someone decides to pick a second specialist and they both push all game and ignore the objectives. It's getting kind of annoying. Especially on Infernal Shrines, there always seems to be that Gazlowe or Zagara that never goes for the shrines.
