I'm like 1,000xp shy of lvl 5 with him. I'm honestly loving him so far. Where he'll end up on a tier list I don't know, but what I do know is that he's a blast to play and has some serious playmaking potential with his telekinesis ability.
Also, his Deadly Charge heroic is one of the most satisfying ways to pull off a kill in a teamfight.
I forgot that they changed Muradin. Imagine my surprise when I saw that his W build is gone... RIP.
Edit: Leoric's drain hope is mighty annoying now without the self-slow... You had a chance of outrunning it before but now, if he lands it, you're SOL. Meanwhile Gul'Dan's life drain is a stationary, channeled ability...

it's baked in now, innit?
25% AS reduction is baked in and there's 3 (?) W talents at level 4 now: increase to 50% AS reduction, CDR, or the double W.
It's not as effective.

So how many of these 24 hour stimpacks are we getting? I'm not complaining but I'm on my third one already since the event started 
I wonder if it's due to the mount speed nerf giving pushers that much more effectiveness.
I think that's what is going on.
I hate the mount speed changes. It really feels like you're slogging through mud. I hope they revert it or at least bump it up a bit. The game was build around brawling, so I don't understand the issue of deathballing in a hots sense. In a moba sense the changes they made make sense. I'd argue it's the largest change they've made in the game even next to the scaling.
It's the laning issue. They want it more important (a big part of this is allowing players of other games to transition easier, I think) and all these changes are trying to make that happen.
I think the mount decrease is pretty good but might need a little more hero-specific tweaking (dibblez) and the winrate for constantly played specialists that arent hammer and sylv will peter down. A lot of ppl arent used to clearing a lane before a map obj or not wasting time pussyfooting around a map obj and playing it w/ more urgency, i think that contributes to these initial winrates a bunch
It's def a buff to globals tho, abathur should be having a good time

GFE about to be up 3-0 over denial on bratislava holdout all 5 games are played out and the pot is split according to the results.
Denial somehow thought BW would be enough to keep Kerrigan alive.

Eh it's a showmatch on a new patch and map. Their team still won when it counted and they'll have their name @Blizzcon.
Good to see GFE doing great. They didn't respect MG regional 1 and didn't get their shit together for regional 2.
GFE is up 4 games they could have let Medivh through at least once, I want to see what scares them so much.

I've played like 6 games this week, and only 1 had the SCV event thing at the beginning. What gives?

1 game out of 5. With an interesting addition to Glau's roster in Raynor.
You've been unlucky. It has a 50% chance to respawn if anyone on your team hasn't completed it yet.
He's played Raynor before

He did? Must have missed it.
Edit: Masterleague only has the last game on record with Glau on Raynor.

Wow. Really unlucky I guess. Thanks for the info!
Ketch -- offline for 13 days.
RIP Ketch. Where you at man?
I may be wrong, but I think Milly might be referring to his stream. I've seen him Raynor a few times while streaming.

Sept 27th, I think, alongside the 2nd Starcraft map.
Same. Thought it was just me. Is this happening to others as well? It's annoying af. Never had an issue freezing like that. I had the latency issues on ORD1 before I moved to the West Coast, but since I've gotten here it's been smooth sailing til this.
September 27th.

Yeah been happening to me as well chalked it up to crappy ISP.
Thanks!
I reeeeeaaaally want Li Ming and Xul... then Zarya will be next up after that I guess.
The newb Illidan and Jaina on my team berated Auriel for "taking all the damage talents" when "she's a healer not a DPS". The same newbs with 11 deaths each, double/triple everyone else's. lolwut
I asked them to point out which talents she picked wrong, because they both vehemently insisted that they've played Auriel, and they obviously couldn't.
Her build?
1 - Increasing Clarity
4 - Majestic Span
7 - Energized Cords
10 - Crystal Aegis
13 - Blinding Flash
16 - Will of Heaven
20 - Shield of Hope
Yes, potatoes, Auriel was the problem. Not you, Illidan, who repeatedly tried fighting 5v1 and ignored the enemy Chromie in team fights.
Because it was Towers of Doom, Jaina got the (only) Cannoneer card (most damage to enemy core) at the end despite being terrible and abusive.

The call-out stuff is nice, fluff, but nice.
I have no idea who the new hero is, I own all of Starcraft II, but haven't played beyond the early stages of Heart of the Swarm. What he seems to be is a glass cannon version of Artanis. It's probably a terrible comparison, they probably don't have much in common besides being Protoss dudes who zip around the map but I haven't been impressed with the ones I've played with or against.
It's probably significantly easier to balance a game when the only aspect you have to concern yourself with is pvp. A multiplayer game is largely just a sand box of game mechanics. The HotS team don't have to worry about creating content beyond maps and heroes. Even then it isn't necessarily an easy task, look at how long certain heroes and certain roles have been problematic in HotS.
