nazeebo is a great specialist ya'll crazy
have you seen how many spiders he can spawn

50% is still relatively significant and there are still the bribe changes, catapult changes, and certain hero changes to reckon w/ so it's still a little up in the air. Realistically tho all it means is that setting up ur waves, esp. during obj stalls or other preventative things will give opponents more of a time limit in pulling the trigger on engages or giving things up
So a slight nerf to eu kappa

It's only 50%, but apparently it's exactly what was on the PTR. Apparently, it was only a 50% bonus on the PTR, despite the PTR patch notes.

Rain of Destruction is actually not terrible as many are claiming. The 20 upgrade is disgusting.
Also, Murky's new hearth animation is kawaii.

I dunno, watching it on streams today it still seemed utterly, utterly useless. The slow is nice but you only get hit once or twice anyways, and it's a tiny duration.
I just don't see any occasion where you would pick that over Horrify.
Ana: pushing Widowmaker even further back in line.
In that green that's Tassadar, ??? then Uther right?

As a Chromie, I really like Gul'Dan. Especially when they stand still and do their life-drain thing on someone.

Guldans mana costs are ridiculous
Like, for being able to spam his skills, he goes through mana fast
Maybe for the first talent, the 20 reduced mana cost might not be so bad..

He does eat mana like crazy. If you want to sustain and just constantly chuck out damage:
1) Glyph of Drain Life
4) Health Funnel
7) Hunger For Power (so long as no insane dive exists)
10) Horrify
13) Healthstone (but really almost any of these are good, HS just allows for big plays/baits)
16) Rampant Hellfire
20) Whatever
I dunno how his builds will shake out, but I did awesome with this on PTR and you never have to back. It's sort of like a Medivh all-in Q build (if such existed) but with more damage and no portals.
The new Terran-Front Line portrait is alright.

New Zag is hilariousy split pushy and so strong with nydus worm.
Just looks like Tassadar and Uther for sure, and the middle one looks kinda like Sonya to me.

She looks so good, I really want her in HotS

Also oh my god the talent that makes archers hit harder with Zag is so ridiculous late game. You just melt towers and heroes. If you leave a lane unchecked post 20, she can nydus easily on it and just disgustingly push. Not to mention attacks on creeps refreshing her abilities..ugh
60s.
What is this referring to?

Since when does tassadar has a crazy looking tail thing coming out of him? Thats not tassadar. And i really don't think that is Sonya either. And that is probably uther, but he looks a little skinny and the hammer is smaller than usual
That's not a tail. Those are Protoss nerve cords, Tassadar or not. But I do think it's him, just with a stylized angle, especially since Browder has talked about how they want to keep the silhouettes as unique as possible.
Edit, I'm now certain it's Sonya. Similar pose:
The green silhouette looks skinny, I grant you, but I think she's turned a bit to the side and partially in motion.
dog... do you even crystal maiden?
i think ya'll need to look at concept art instead of in game models to figure out those green silhouettes.

Both of Gul'dans ults serve as an anti-initiate tool. That is, their function is to counter all-in's and initiates. Horrify's effect is better for immediately disengaging and splitting up the enemy(IE if they're Sonya and Anub, this is the one you want to get to immediately get them off your carries tails.) Rain of Destruction is better if you're behind, as the damage it does is no joke and if you're behind, they're going to be pushing up against keeps, or if they choose to fight you, then you can make them regret trying to fight in an area because they will take damage.
I've even seen it peculiarly have meteors hit in close proximity at the same time, essentially double dipping in damage, and if the enemy team is trying to move around, it'll essentially be a minefield.
Honestly, they're both situational picks. Horrify is good for immediate disengage, RoD is good as a teamfight tool that can also discourage the enemy from staying in its area.

Horrify doesn't combo with anything, it actually can fuck up other ults, whereas Rain of Destruction can wombo-combo with a few different AoE ultimates quite nicely.

That's why, it splits them up. Although I wouldn't use it as an engage tool, it's better utilized as anti-engage. If you want to catch someone, have another character with a stun do it-Using an ultimate just to get a pick is never good >_> especially on Gul'Dans ults.

Rain of Destruction is not the talent to pick when there's a Chromie on the other team. Holy shit is Gul'Dan fun to farm damage off of.

Gul'Dan can just run up to Chromie and wreck her with two Q's and Corrupt her while she's running. Insta kill.
I've cast Rain of Destruction into an AE mess and it's done a grant total of 600 damage to one person. It's that bad, I honestly just ignore it even as a ranged carry.
Re crystal maiden - crystal maidens ult guarantees the slow on everyone around her, which is a massive difference. Similarly the explosions are much, much more rapid which makes it a lot less random.

If any hero can just run up to you as Chromie, you're doing it wrong.
Chromie's base range trumps Gul'Dan's and he frequently stops in lane and fights to syphon life off of heroes and minions, makes him an easy target often. It's like Hammer entering siege mode.

then the chromie is doing a bad job with her E and her team peeling for her.

Oh you sweet summer children
Gul'Dan can outrange her with his ultimate and still manage to hit her
