edit: wrong thread
There's a thread about mobas on the front page of gaming where the OP says he likes Heroes. It's more civil than usual but the gems are still in there.

I don't like most of the skins, I had to agree with someone on that. I also think they are way too expensive, even on sale.
But no, "I don't see any skins ever" or whatever they said only underscores how little most of them have actually played the game.
That's fine, everyone shouldn't love everything and you shouldn't play what you hate, but it's still a misrepresentation.

I don't know. U can't really hold it against an entire fan base.
See a lot of ignorant comments going in both directions.
Dota fan: "there's no point in the laning phase"
Pretty much the same as
Hots fan: "they have the same amount of depth and strategy"
Tell me you wouldn't post in a thread titled: " I like every moba, but hate heroes of the storm"
People just want to defend what they like and validate their opinions.

I'm back, and learned a new word that is inappropriate to use. My productivity also skyrocketed coincidentally.
Dignitas was playing w/o Adrd yesterday and they played like poop. Interestingly Schwimpi from NaVi was subbing for him.
They almost lost against VP and were beaten by Team Spartanien quite handily. Semifinals today should be interesting on the new patch, pure chaos.
Virtus Pro should probably disband at this point. They tried so much with their team yet it's really not starting to look any better. After game 1, no matter whether they lose or win, which has often been pretty impressive they just fall apart, draft the weirdest comps and generally play bad.
C9 vs SPT was interesting. C9 wasn't playing particularly well and had to target ban and capitalize on some really dumb mistakes by their opponents to win.

This one's not entirely wrong, you can share control in dota, so you can have 2people playing the same hero, and there's some heroes that have enough of stuff to do for 2 like say Meepo, Chen, Visage or even Lone Druid once you have an agh. Or Zet, but he's not in dota2 yet, Valve doing the 1 hero per year thing, but the hero literally copies himself and can use items/skills on both.
Granted, it's not quite Cho'Gall which was designed entirely around the concept so it's more complete.
I wouldn't because Matthew McConaughey told me time is a flat circle. And forum arguments are circles too, particularly in Gaming proper.
Agreed and like I said, there were valid points made. The rest of it was grandstanding for some reason I can't quite fathom.
That was my point with the quote. Not that another game couldn't/didn't have something similar, just that Cho'Gall is apparently a "silly gimmick" because he's in HOTS and not in Dota. I would also assume that poster probably didn't even play Cho'Gall to find out whether he was a gimmick, bad, good, or indifferent either.

I won't beat around the bush, Abathur is still the main reason I play this game
This should surprise no one

Well, the only reason I started was because this was the first game I'd ever gotten an alpha invite for out of the blue
Johanna is cute though, I'm glad I stuck around~

Agreed that you shouldn't talent into it, except for L1. The extra length makes it a great positioning/escape tool.
It's all about the heal over time, which only needs 1 target hit to proc at full effectiveness. Gives you a huge amount of sustain if you are making sure to always top yourself off.
You should always be looking for W opportunities if your health isn't full. Q I use less often, but comes in handy for quick escapes, or to jump in on a fight you feel good about.

Today Dignitas is playing with JayPL and Schwimpi, both players from NaVi.
Their drafts are funny w/o Adrd

I found that Cho's E and Gall's Q/W/E all out-range Towers. It's pretty easy to get pot-shots in on structures because of that.

NaVitas lost against Fnatic, interesting to see just how essential Adrd is to their team.
This article has interesting insights from a HotS hero designer on Cho'Gall's inception and implementation. I found that it reaffirmed what I learned from playing Cho and Gall individually.

The Pyramid Scheme marketing for this to coincide with the stat changes was diabolically ingenius.
Yeah, the sheer ability and variety of ways to poop on buildings from a distance makes me think that's gonna get smacked with the nerf bat. You can often line up mines or blobs in such a way that even if you can't hit a moving enemy hero, you're still guaranteed to hit a building behind them worst-case, if not both.
The only difference in exp gained per minute is the 50K bonus you get from winning in quick match. otherwise they are the same.
Even Hearthstone has a couple positive posts every once in a while about League of Explorers, that place has been a steaming pile of salt for months. What is the world coming to!
