Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to do on a scale beyond a few hundred without getting caught. Twitch has gotten a lot more serious about it, and the reddit sleuths are always vigilant of course. You guys remember those dudes who got blasted for viewbotting HOTS back in the Alpha days? Their names escape me, but wasn't it NickHOTS who caught them?

Yuck, I don't like Gul'Dan's Heroes of the Storm design at all. I guess it's his 'younger form' but they really should have based his skin off his WoD appearance

Looks like Auriel will have to deal damage to heal which is pretty awesome

Or maybe she won't. Looks like reddit thinks the website just jacked the ability ideas from a Heroes Fire concept. RIParino, too bad it's not the actual concept.

Guy doesn't talk at all in lobby and picks Hammer after we already have Chromie and people said that's really not what we need. Proceeds to get caught alone over and over and complains the entire game about how much we all suck, never leaves siege mode until he dies, then flames us some more.

I'm done with this stupid game and going back outside to catch pokemon where people are nice.
 
He was stupid before.

And they buffed him.

They're being dumb on this because they don't understand that the flexibility his kit provides is absurd and he needs to pay for it with lower damage.

Pretty much, healthbars might as well just not against him.

Ye olde "I siege because the button has to be for something". Never mind that it actually doesn't increase auto damage only spread.

Also beware waterbombs.
 
Jesus, I don't know how to play Rehgar anymore. Haven't used him since Alpha and he's undergone at least two major talent revisions? Ran into a 4 stack that had this wombo-combo with Chromie, Temporal Loop, Dragon's Breathe, Sandblast and usually accompanied by a Tyrande and/or Kerrigan stun, simply deleted anyone caught by it. Wish I had chosen Monk instead, I think Divine Palm would've worked-ish.

Play Team League. Anything else isn't worth it.

Just take cleanse at 7 - it removes temporal loop.

What's the general priority in teamfights? Is it support and then assassins or the other way? And what about specialists. Warriors obviously last I guess?

they've been active on reddit, twitter and twitch. That's about as much as they usually do.

I don't follow em on Twitter, but reddit was pretty barren and apparently I'm not the only one who didn't know after the survival guide fell off. What do you mean by active on Twitch? Like promoting the event beforehand via Twitch somehow? Can't say I've seen that either.

I logged into HOTS and the splash screen is there, but it's just a few flashes over a black background. Whatever the image is supposed to be isn't loading for me.

The highest priority target you can hit without getting out of position and getting yourself killed. Certain heroes notwithstanding, of course, but trying to always gun for a Morales for example makes things go pear shaped as often as it works unless that Morales gets out of position for you to safely get on her.

Reddit they had the survival guide but the auto modder made some errors and it didn't get stickied, that led to confusion but they made the same posts they usually do.
Twitch they are hosting Dreamhack from the Blizzheroes channel and they mentioned it in their brawls with the blues.
It's nothing outstanding but the usual fare at least. No sidebar inclusion on reddit hurts the most imo.

"Why are focusing tank!1!!!11?!" "Gosh idk maybe because they have 2 tanks and we don't have a dive comp."
"Focus Morales and we win!" "Sure I'll just casually walk up to her all turtled up."

Reddit was a mistake.

Sonya still being globally banned is dumb - talk about warping the meta. At least teams will have had time to practice without her this time around.

Wait why is she globally banned? Also I played artanis for the first time in months... Holy shit he's so fun

Played the game last night after a long hiatus. What have they done to Zag? I don't know if I like the changes or not but I definitely sucked with her. :(

What's the strategy/build with her now?

I wouldn't call a meta shake up less than a week prior to a regional tournament that also serves as a blizzcon qualifier the right call.

Sonya was banned last week as well - teams were aware of the ban more than a week out and were practising without her from my understanding. That's why we are seeing Leoric etc being picked.

with last week do you mean 4 days ago the NA qualifier?

I don't remember which but an EU pro was surprised by the ban so shortly before the event. Should have been less than a week ago.

Edit: found it

 
At this point I'm not sure anymore if mYi is ahead of the curve or other teams just choke against them. Getting C9 Tempo flashbacks.

TL running Muradin with Aba hat. Mura Aba Uther 3v4'd making a 1 for 2 into a 3 for 2
 
Do yourself the favour and watch the vods of this match. Liquid played their comp masterfully.
Muradin, Uther, Greymane, Abathur, TLV.

If they hadn't choked at game 1 they could have 2:0'd the series.

33 minute game on spiders seems extremely abnormal even for pros lol
That map is similar to GoT in that some games just stall FOREVER.

They need to rework the endgame scaling.

In other news, they've confirmed that Supports (and I would presume, specifically healers) are a priority right now- http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/07/14/heroes-of-the-storm-designer-talks-overwatch-integration-hero-building/#7c0e57fb81e5 Medivh kinda ended up a happy accident as a Tass/Ty style hybrid.

Lucio seems like a really obvious inclusion.
