Denial should've went with Mac instead. Less pigeonholed. Glau's top end on like two heroes is higher (when he's on), but he's not as versatile otherwise.
Kind of surprised they swapped that quick. For a team having problems getting along leading to their dissolution, they sure made up quickly...without Dunktrain. Ayyyyyy

I didn't see all games but what makes you think Glau was the problem? Caff played only ETC and K1 only once Falstad. With Jaina K1pro went for Water Elemental and he even got to play Greymane when that's one of Glau's best heroes.
Glaurung is easily targetable with his hero pool but Denial performing so bad was a team effort.
Equinox replaced Kladeous on Astral Authority

That's two retirees coming back shortly after retiring.
I'm not saying he was specifically the problem. I'm just saying he's not the person I would have picked for that team, or really for any team that isn't built solely around him. He is one of my four or five favorite players, but that hero pool is what it is. Clearly they coveted his top end more, or perhaps Mac never even got a try out. I have no clue.
For whatever reason Glau skirts the edges of success like nobody's business. Shit is uncanny how close he can be and yet be so far away.

Caff and K1 never retired. I wonder where Glaurung's tracer went and back with tempo he played diablo. I don't think you need a team built around him, he probably just needs a really good shotcaller or great team synergy.
Speaking of McIntyre am I reading this correct that he joined Vox Nihili?

Arthelon's back with erho
Shame. It's the only main podcast I never managed to get into - combination of too much content a week plus it never grabbed me in the same way.
Wonder if we will ever see State of the Nexus again. I really miss that one.
I was referring to iDream and Equinox. Both said they were done just a month or two ago, now they are already back.

No clue. If he did that's the first I've heard of it too.

Oh those two were separate comments, my bad.
It's confirmed Guldansgame now go as Dumpster Tier Rejects with Prismaticism and Kladeous instead of Mc and Jason. I think Vox cut Daihuu but he's still listed for them.
Jason is now listed as a 6th for Naventic somehow.
Miwa, usually an observer, is playing with Marche.
Arthelon, Erho, Soldier Zixz and two others are listed on a team. (Almost all retirees)
Da fuq would Soldier play with those dudes again for? Talk about toxicity.
Not really sure why Vox Nihili would change it up either. Granted I didn't really watch the majority of their games, but seemed like it was going well. I think Mac is really good, but I had just assumed their success was part luck and mostly chemistry based.
Rosterpocalypse continues I guess.

Who knows, the guys hang around before and during the event. They mingle, they talk, rosters get changed.
They def overperformed but it's doubtful they could reach higher anytime soon with that roster.
Mac and Glau even had time to play Kerrigan together, literally.

I see the reddit hivemind finally found the one thing that could legitimately convince a decent number of people to rebel against HOTSlogs beyond the ~2 years of whining on it's accuracy.
barrett should really just make a patreon, though. Dunno why he's so against it. They are pretty effective from what I've seen.

Zixz twitlonger on why they formed as a team is basically.
NA sux, free trip to PAX, Kenma is 2nd best support.

oh yeah I remember that but then he replied to me like this when I called it in question on reddit

I like her. It requires you to be in the fight to build energy and I found I was doing good team healing in major fights the games I played once I got used to her playstyle.
Yeah, how dare they ask him to do something about the ads on his website serving malware.
i mean it more liek
what do you usually do when you have a website you dont like or ads you dont like? you adblock or you dont use it
normally you dont make 3 threads about it lol
but i mean i guess there's nothing else to talk about
ive had it adblocked since inception, the ads have always been bad, but it's fotm right now
usually youd expect the hots reddit to have a fotm thread on some sort of balance or game related thing, but not these days

I think the point is more that it's a witch hunt like he personally wronged them than anything. As someone aptly put it in one of those 3 or 4 threads, "this is how you undo 2 years of hard work and service to a community with a couple days".
He definitely set himself up for it a few weeks back, but as usual, the backlash is 2x the fury.
And this. hotsreddit has less and less pertinent info on it as we go along.
Not when they're experiencing what they say they're experiencing.
This stuff immediately gets a thread in OT if it happens here.
i feel like it's probably not a great game to play if you're starting out pc gaming (like there are probably a lot of cool games out there that don't hammer you w/ a lot of information) but it's free so you can always just try it, it's probably the easiest of all the mobas
if you want a fun game to play w/ friends there is a lot of stuff to experience that is pc exclusive
like get this game when it's on sale, it usually goes on sale pretty often: http://store.steampowered.com/app/219640/
it's a lot sillier than the trailer too

What region are you in? Before you start playing, make sure to use a Recruit a Friend code on your B.Net account it gets you two free heroes. (Here's an NA code if you need one- https://battle.net/recruit/WNX6HZ6MFF )
My only experience was about 10 fail games of LoL not understanding anything prior to this and never having watched LoL/DOTA on TV, and I picked it up fast.
You could hop into this pretty easy if you're a regular gamer. Some of the vernacular and nuances may take you a bit, but playing with friends should speed up the process. Game is much better with friends than solo, as well.
Now I've seen everything.
You aren't teaching someone in their 20s (presumably) PC-level FPS controls from scratch.
Still a great casual game tho.

Did you miss the thread by barret on how his ads are better now and that people should stop using adblocker? I haven't been in the thread so idk about the witch hunt but I'm not surprised about the existence of these threads and some critique would be reasonable.
This hotdoggies saga is interesting. As vengeful as the reddit hivemind can be over various things, he himself seems to be equally oblivious to the own damage his remarks and callousness is causing his brand/site. It's like two animals devouring each other.
Unsure why dude thinks people want him to get a patreon so they can get a look at his financials. In all non-ad related scenarios he's been friendly and thoughtful. With this one, however, he's full on politician mode.

If you bought Auriel on the EU PTR, you're getting the Demonic Auriel skin for free due to them goofing on the bundles: http://eu.battle.net/heroes/en/forum/topic/17613091240#1
