4 PM EST has come and gone. The promised announcement has not been announced. Vandy is late.

I think he meant the loading screen portrait. So instead of showing as a random hero it actually shows your randomized hero. I am guessing it didn't do that before this patch, and instead showed you chose random.
I just played my first two matches and I love it. DOTA 2 and LoL never clicked for me, but this has. I only had one person shit talk; they told me to attack the enemy immortal (I still don't get that game mode totally), I was too slow and they called me a noob. I said it was only my second game and he said "then go play against AI".
We ended up winning largely because of an opportunity I opened up for the team. So I felt pretty good about that.
Anyways, are there any guides I should read or tips I should know that aren't super obvious or explained anywhere? I feel like I get the basics, but there's a lot of intricacies I'm missing.

I can't look at Hotslogs, down that path leads madness. Just had a real shitter of a match and the worst player on the team, like I thought they were brand new they were feeding and playing so badly, was apparently the highest MMR. I know the math is fuzzy but holy fuck.
I'm apparently Quick Match Platinum, which sounds like I'm the prettiest ugly girl at the beauty pageant, so this is a good as it gets. I guess I need to start playing HL.

I feel MFPallytime is a good place to start to learn the game and characters.

I may be forgetting 3 different buttons on piano uther at any time but he's still tons of fun to play. After 3 losses in a row and a game that already seemed lost at the start we bodied them. Feels good. They got 2 or 3 turn ins in BHB for free and a boss when we somehow got our shit together and started fighting for real. The match ended 27-12 in our favour and wasn't even close.
I'm never gonna get out of scrub ranks but I find enjoyment in it at least.

Use this website http://www.hotsbuilds.info/ for builds. It pulls from a lot of the major players like hotslogs (don't tell Brawndo, he'll get mathematical on your ass). MFPallytime is great, as well as the heroes subreddit.

It is shit. I groan every time I have a match in that map.
Is it really, though? It was one tournament, not a major one, and both teams admitted to caring very little for what happened in it. Beyond that, Team Blaze has never won anything against NVT to my knowledge. Then there's the fact that bige himself made the move, so clearly HE doesn't think "they can't beat them" otherwise he'd have bought into the hype that his current team really was #2, no?
And, honestly, even if it was a "if you can't beat them, join/recruit them" style thing...how is that any different than plenty of previous roster swaps in HOTS? EU rosterpocalypse has been all about sniping players from competing rosters, and was the same last year as well. C9 cannibalized it's whole b-team (which was 4th in NA) just to get past Tempo Storm finally. If there's an upward move available you pretty much have to do it before someone else does.

why are you supporting my point yet starting with uhm? I meant Naventic crippling Blaze since they can't beat them fairly.
I see though how it could be laid out as short form for "If you can't beat them, join them" an easy mix up caused by me not being of english mother tongue. The comment was pretty much just a continuation of something I said earlier in the day.
It's part being facetious, part serious, part just disappointed there might be going a top contender and part trolling. It's fairly obvious and understandable why he switched and I wouldn't blame him.
Navi Dig was a straight up on the table deal negotiated after the players expressed their desires for all we know, unlike this which does have a bit of a behind others backs feel, but everything since was a shitshow me and other EU players were rather outspoken on.
C9 merging was disappointing as well, Vortex used to shake up new patches. Illidan + Aba was a glorious tournament

what the hell? How is this possible
Lost Caverns, ARAM. I mainly rotated between the points. Once I hit 45 I started team fighting more.
This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.
Got eviscerated in the aram semifinal
Illidan artanis zagara monk greymane

There's some kind of issue when you visit the site from https://www.neogaf.com every now and then. Dunno why.
Who filled out your team for the ARAM tourney, brian?

Is anyone else mega hyped for her shadowpaw skin? You bet your ass I'm getting that thing day 1
Me too, that teapot looks amazing
All's right with the world.
(seriously, this is actually a good test of if the balance is good)
To the new guy who has played two games:
I've played about 1000, and people on my team tell me what I should have done all the time. Usually, they tell me I should have charged into that 2v5 with them.
And these are people who have played hundreds of games. So. You can always get better. And the people who complain loudest are usually noobs.
Have fun. If anyone is a jerk, mute them.

Also going through a losing srreak atm. Already down 3 ranks.
Was it actually competitive? Or was it like the shit shows ARAM usually is?
Nice, hope I got it. No way I shouldn't have watching it on PC, phone and ps4 at different times.
C9 was out last night for a bit in HL. Didn't see any other pros though. Just regular ladder dudes. Hopefully they'll start showing up more...
I do think some of the players are at Heroes of the Dorm, particularly since the schedule was changed. I know Glaurung, for example, goes to a lot of them (Glaurung and Mac are streaming now, though). Maybe that's part of it.
That said, I'm skeptical that we'll see them en masse on the ladder before Grand Master, and honestly skeptical that we'll see them after that because it seems like then it will be another excuse. They seem unable to grasp that EU pros are playing more than them, and Korean pros are playing way more than them and that it ultimately hurts their growth by not playing the game more. They also clearly haven't looked too hard at other games, like League of Legends and their pros, whom you can see streaming and playing constantly (and I'm sure make some decent money at streaming to boot, which you'd think a few HOTS pros would want).
I don't quite get what the mental block or whatever is for NA and playing the game outside of scrims. I think part of it is laziness/apathy and part of it is the fact that many of these guys truly believe they are the best in their role. I also get the impression that most of them don't really like the actual game. Particularly the version of the game the rest of us play when these pros are forced to be on a team with randoms without the communication they are used to and therefore are unable to carry the game solo/duo. And ultimately, once the structure of their team is taken away, they can be beaten on ladder by random players with similar MMR whom they by and large dismiss often as lesser (happened plenty of times in THH). I think it bothers some of those players when they are streaming and get the cat-calls from the cheap seats of Twitch chat over losing to people like Lightknite and chu8.

McIntyre posted a new tier list, also a video for the tier list if anyone is interested.
