Even better you can multibox chogall with 2 recruit a friend accounts. should be able to win AI games with just cho
Carbot apparently has done a collaboration with Blizz

Yep, you can just create four of your own alternate accounts and do this yourself on all the accounts rather than recruiting actual new players.
Just be sure that the new accounts use your main account's RAF link.

That's good news. Looks like I have a backup plan. I can't remember the ballpark of how long it takes to get to level 10? Like... a couple of hours max?
With the 50% bonus + free stimpak it really shouldn't take too long at all (4-5 games?). Not sure how long exactly but I guess I will find out later!
Going from account level 1 -> 10 requires a total of 2,425,000 xp.

You know what else would go REALLY well for them? Gifting. Why doesn'r Blizzard want our money?
Also rip talent gating. You won't be missed.
Gifting can work- they need to be able to sell codes on-demand.
The issue is that their current system allows for cross-region arbitrage.
Just buy each other B.Net gift cards

End of an era. I mean, they nerfed talent gating quite a bit many months ago thankfully, but this is the final death blow. I'm happy, this is definitely a good Quality of Life improvement.

Hmmm is it working right now in EU ? 'cause i cannot see the 10 heroes in the rotation and the recruit link i've done for another account did not provide me raynor nor stimpack.
I wonder how much money they'd have to make for it to become permanent?
Like, the #1 lifetime gripe of HOTS is the price. If they permanently halved it on top of all the other good PR lately...ayy lmao.

Gave a friend the link that the website gave me for the referral and now I log into the client and it gives me a completely different code. My friend's account says he already has a veteran and he didn't get any rewards and there is no gear next to my name in his friends list like the troubleshooting page says...

fair enough, still kind of sucks that it feels like the only reliable recourse is smurf accounts
i am down but im recruiting my own smurf
It's kind of a hard thing to think about since the roles arent so clearly defined, id throw etc in there tho, i dunno where monk falls in this. I hope they dont do a hybrid kind of thing
Zagara's going to likely be getting a third heroic: https://twitter.com/DustinBrowder/with_replies
I like this, especially for the Siege guys, gals, and otherkins, who currently just have a PvE and PvP option.

3 heroics? That sounds interesting...
lol!!!
All champs free would've been even better (at launch) I think. I mean, they could still sale mounts and skins. Suckers like me buy all that and stims

theorycrafting time for a third heroic, hmm how about brood lords? or is that too much like banshees? maybe they just hang around her?
give her ultralisk back lol
ummmmmmm leviathan?
how about a ravager she can spawn every so often, who works like a turret

Forever Alone: HotS Edition. Everyone I know who would play HotS is, in fact a few have stopped. I'm not complaining that it's a cool Recruit-A-Friend mount, I mean it's got to be a neat reward to get people to do it, I just wants it. I wants it so badly.
This is a dumb promotion that Blizzard will change fairly soon I anticipate. 4 people is way too much, and will just lead to account smurfing. That's going to create a headache for the real new players, as there will be a ton of experienced players on fresh alts going into quick match games and annihilating the real newbies.

wouldnt vs AI still be faster, especially to a low level like 10 and when you dont have alot of heroes to choose from

Also on Chogall you don't go afk as Gall so you can level 2 at once.
Just play QM with friends. I got to 4.5 in one game.

right but its 5-10 thats the long part
The one game I did play gave me 20k more than an ai...
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
the last AI game i played lasted 20 minutes. and it was boring, also. it also doesn't help you get much better at the game for the time investment

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
findin four people is gonna be rough, and i hear 3 is the max amount of accounts you are allowed to have
You know, that Vulture mount is cool, but it's not worth all of that work for me. I'd just rather spend that time leveling up my heroes, lol.
The best strategy is just get in a five stack with your friends and dumpster all the legitimate new accounts.
Yep, cause you're also getting the extra EXP from friending.
I don't think anyone who is bothering to make some smurfs and playing against people at the 1700 level is too worried about improving at the game as most everyone they play will either also be smurfs of wildly varying MMRs or actually new. There's not much you can improve when you have a year of game experience playing absolutely green players.
If anything, in the case of folks like Milly who are far higher MMR, when they enter QM they are making everyone else's games worse by being a 3k + player in games made for people with half of that MMR.
Basically every game feels like you're playing AI mode, except with the added frustration of toxicity, player's general newness/cluelessness, and the all too frequent disconnects/quitting that occurs in the new player range. You can't ping 1600 MMR Thrall and Hammer + the two others to follow you to protect anything or to end the game. Well, you can ping for them to, but the results vary. In AI you can make them. Sure Milly can carry pretty well in HOTS at that skill level, but he has to contend with all the other shit too.
I'm not saying AI is for everyone, but it's definitely the path of least resistance to getting this done quickly. There's no BS and no queue times to contend with.
The grind is mindless either way you do it. The AI method just makes it truly automated so you don't have to deal with herding the cats.
