Cho'gall will probably be a pain in the ass to try to take down lol, I'm thinking he might be able to solo 2-3 heroes if played properly.

 

[Alur]

That's what they showed in the video. Cho'gall killing Falstad and Muradin.

Can't think of it as "soloing" though as there are two people on that hero with two sets of skills and two full talent trees. It's not soloing at all.

Yeah, I meant "soloing", since Cho'Gall will most likely be perceived as a "super" unit to the opposing side.

almos c9 time bois

 

[RumblingRosco]

So... Seems like CC such as Polymorph is amazing on Cho'Gall. Basically you're Polymorphing two enemy Heroes for the price of one.

 

[Milly79]

So hype for horsechick

Yeah insane value. I wonder if somehow one or the other or both has cc reduction.

 

[Ketch]

[brian!]

[Dance Inferno]

Man, this is amateur hour. I made breakfast, ate it, made coffee, drank it, put my clothes in the wash, ironed my shirts for the week, put my clothes in the dryer, did my dishes, folded my laundry for the week, and the game still hasn't started.

 

[Indignate]

Literally every sport in the world though.

It's not cool to start on time, Blizz knows what's up.

 

[Alur]

Needs more ToD IMO.

 

[Milly79]

[patchday]

Looking forward to watching the match (when it finally starts)

 

[Dance Inferno]

I give up. I have better things to do than waiting multiple hours for a 15-minute game to start.

 

[Milly79]

Minor changes to Uther made. Speculation?

 

[jediyoshi]

zzz

Less time in ghost form would be an easy one.

New level system: Still a disadvantage, but something you can fight against now.

[Alur]

Thanks Blizz for delaying the game til I got home and got my internet up and running! We can start now doe.

 

[Venus Van Dam]

poor e-sports manager lady having to buy time until they fix things up.

 

[brian!]

oops i dced and cant reconnect to twitch chat

 

[ZeezbruhTV]

wow, wrong game lmao

 

[kirblar]

Anna's saving this via the on-the-spot interviews to kill time, getting us away from the drained guys in the booth.

Per the Heroes Panel- they're happy with the Medic PTR changes and they're coming. There's a definite mis-transcription, as they're very much not on live right now, but it does indicate that the 2+ level lead snowball was indeed a huge issue. (40% power advantage for the team ahead in levels.) They're ok with early game stat advantages being neutered as a trade-off.

We're experiencing audio issues on the Heroes stage where players can hear each other. Apologies for the delays, we're working to resolve.

For once, this isn't on the HOTS guys.
