If they just gave me a non-verbal way to say good game--specifically at the very end of a match--I would just shut off team chat and never go back to it again.

They do. You just launch yourself incessantly at the other team's Hall of Storms while the rest of your team kills the core.
That's "GG" as taught by the kindly non-BMing surely they can't be as bad as those Tempo Storm guys Cloud 9.

Edit: fuck me.
I like u milly
Also fuck them for reducing stun range instead of aoe size
It's always had pretty good range.

So they're decreasing Tyrande's overall damage, decreasing her stun...which is a skill shot...decreasing the range talent, and increasing her baseline single target heal while trying to decrease her overall heal output without touching either of the skill cooldown talents?
How about you just revert all of the changes you made to her recently instead? Lose the healing on Shadowstalk, re-add the reveal. It's supposed to be a teamfight initiation tool. Make the Sentinel skill cooldown only affect Sentinel. Tune her trait. She was fine how she was initially, she just wasn't a great solo support for Quick Match. The actual problems with Tyrande (and Tassadar) only started once they started balancing them around being better solo/Quick Match supports.
I'm glad I can ignore the pro scene in HotS like I felt I couldn't in Dota. It seems like half the time you guys talk about the HotS pro-scene it sounds like high school level gossip. Stuff like this didn't occur in Dota when I paid attention to it. If it did, i don't remember.

I think that's kind of indicative of HotS's overall popularity versus LoL and Dota at the moment. GAF is a massive forum, the MOBA genre is arguably one of the biggest at the moment, but not many people seem to have much interest in HotS.
I just looked at Twitch, 200k people are watching LoL, 75K are watching Dota 2, while only 5K watching are HotS.

So her final burst heal from her heroic heals for 5 HP fewer than before? I mean, why even make that change? Am I just not understanding this?
That comment is awesome. Also, hell yeah, my boy is back. Or at least not shit-tier.
Haha, far from that. She does feel a ton better though. Still think she needs a little more, but so far, so good!
EDIT: Brightwing's Q hits like a truck compared to how it was in the past. It's still super weak because of the cast time/delay thing. Seems like if they wanted to up her damage they'd speed that up instead.
LOL, clearly you haven't followed many pro scenes if you find what we talk about high school level. I think that's more indicative of what you think of what aspects we talk about than it is the scene in general.
It's a reflection of people taking at digs at people's favorite teams. As I said, don't go near LOL if you think that's bad. I was simply making fun of Milly calling all of Bob Ross dicks while turning a blind eye to C9 BMing in the world championships by launching into the Nexus.
I think you can say lower numbers are certainly indicative of HOTS popularity vs LOL and Dota 2, but that's not really a groundbreaking statement. Don't really think it's indicative of HOTS' actual popularity either. Just that it's clearly not on the level of those two.
As for the community thread, nearly every one I follow or read occasionally has the same thing this one does (though typically worse). 5-15 people talking in a circle about the game, throw in the occasional drive by shitpost, and then 4-5 other people who show up randomly to comment on something and never return for weeks.
Granted the threads for Dota and Leeg do have a few more active people, but it's ultimately the same story...most of the people who play these games on GAF don't post in the community threads. That's pretty much universal across all of the multiplayer games (MMOs, MOBAs, etc). The representation from the forum is not very large. It's just very vocal.

If the internet was represented by a physical location, youtube comments section would be a trailer park and twitch chat would be its sewage offrun into a nearby stream.

Lunara's health buff seems to help. While still a glass cannon she no longer feels like Murky with a regular spawn timer.
Yoshichan
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?
yeah mods have been after me for a while now but they're not taking me down
i'm clean
i'm clean as clean can be
except for when someone fucks with my kylo
nobody fucks with kylo or you're fucking with me

Then we got beef. Kylo is basically Sasuke, if Sasuke got beaten by an orphan rookie... oh wait.

Brightwing change is nice.
It's not a bad idea - better than voting imo.

So cleanse now only sensible choice over lightning shield for Rehgar?
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
that malf buff is good for my playstyle with him.
So it's slightly worse than the worst idea?
I don't understand this incessant need to buck all previous trends of what works.
Bans should be in organized stacked teams, not random games. It makes zero sense to have one person, who is unlikely to be communicating with anyone else, be in charge of taking heroes out of the mix.
Other moba's have bans where you aren't playing with a full team?
There's a variety of ways they could do it, but ultimately the game needs bans for a while variety of reasons we've gone over a million times, and those reasons apply just as much in solo play as they do team play. No method of selecting the person who bans is perfect, but just having them in game will be a massive improvement. I think voting is an utterly terrible idea, so any other option is better I think.
You could random it, you could use highest mmr, you can click a button that says you want to be captain when you go in - lots of solutions, and all of them have the benefit of being better than the current no-ban environment.
