Eh, depends on the map/objective. And that siege damage problem kind of vanishes once you get Mobius Loop. So it's only a problem pre-6 against a Xul/Azmo/whatever match-up in early laning.
That's what I've been telling you about KT.

I dont know bout now- but back a few months I recall Zag being a really good pick for people that wanted to climb rank
Also you speaking to breezy- he's like a hipster gamer that loves edgy characters. I say this cause I know he loves Swain (LoL)

Enjoy the old, global Zergling-spawning Nydus while you can. I miss that about the new Zag.

Well
are you going to go play tetris?

Well, there's McIntyre's team. Former Brain Power folks + him and Jason from PG.
Faye / Srey / McIntyre / Jason / iakona
whelmed
EDIT: On that note, do you guys think that unless more money comes into the scene (ie: more money going to 4-8 instead of all of it in 1-4 and mostly 1-2) that we will eventually see these second and third tier teams stop forming with known names? I mean there are good players on that team, but without some serious synergy it's hard to see them compete and even harder to see them staying together whenever the inevitable next roster shuffle comes and someone has a chance to move to a better team.

Not at all in any way - and the leaks didn't mention her either. Given they have said overwatch characters are a very low priority for them I don't expect we will see any for a long time. I think the teaser in Overwatch was just a nod to another game.
They added a poster in Hollywood. It's not hidden or anything, it's prominent.

Hope that works, on my phone atm

Team seems decent iakona and McIntyre are tier 1 in NA Srey is still unproven and Faye is hard to say but she's good.
Only issue is that the only known shotcaller among them is Srey

That poster is there since the beta. It is not teasing anything, although it is obvious D.Va will be on HotS someday (popularity + relatively unique mechanics)
With how popular Overwatch is, I will be surprised if we don't get at least two more Overwatch heroes this year.
That's a pretty solid team. They'll be top 4!

alright so as we suspected, Zag and Greymane are stupidly broken and its doubtful they'll be changed when this goes live.
counters to these two heroes, plz?

That's been there from the start.
I feel like competitive experience is valued pretty highly so those pieces will continue to be put together despite maybe not resulting in ideal dynamics, but if these teams start falling to lesser known teams maybe rosters will start expanding outside those circles. New known names would probably reinvigorate older players i imagine. W/r/t money i dont think the payouts or contracts have ever been hefty in na, itd probably be naive to think that the majority of players sticking around are here because they wanna "prove they are the best" or whatever but i mean these motivations are hard for spectators to gauge
Pg splitting and getting picked up here and there is a little worrisome

Weird
Mc was the shotcaller of Barrelboys and Complexity.
Top 4 isn't what datboi said he was aiming for though. He wanted to be tops here and challenge globally. Can't really see them doing that unless they've somehow hit on some killer synergy.
Would def love to see it happen though.

It's weird how prophetic the thread title turned out to be.
Prtty sure it's just a for fun team

I feel like this is close to the best build for solo queue lyfe bar maybe a swap in talents or two. Excellent sustain for your health/mana and damage: http://www.heroesnexus.com/talent-calculator/83-guldan?filter-ptr=1#LbAbIbJbNb9aEbTBA
1) Glyph of Drain Life - as they said on THH, the extra range is a lifesaver and enabler. By being able to heal yourself from further away + being able to prevent someone immediately running out of Drain Life, you are more effective at sustain.
4) Health Funnel - basically like free full mana and health anytime you get near a wave, mercs, or heroes like Zag who summon little shits for you to drain. Consume Soul is fun too but Health Funnel is a better, more reliable source of healing
7) Hunger for Power - 15% ability power for 25% less healing received? Aight. I can heal myself. Plus, can't rely on random healers in solo queue.
10) Horrify - cause the alternative is shit.
13) Healthstone - great baiting tool, great sustaining tool, all around great.
16) Rampant Hellfire - stacks so easy and gives you that sweet damage. Darkness Within is also really good.
20) Whatever. I just go for the vuln, but the circle has it's uses I'm sure.

I don't think his Corruption talents are very good. It does good damage, but hitting it more than once is contingent upon the enemy lining up or the enemy fleeing in a straight line.
By going all in on his trait and abusing it, you never have to back and you rarely die. You just keep churning out Q's and healing yourself with W when necessary, while waiting on E's cooldown. Once you hit 16, the Q's start doing real damage.
I've already got him to level 8 on PTR =/
