I feel like Auriel is rarely a bad pick, but Warhead Junction actually seems to be her lowest-winrate map, at 44%, and I'm not entirely sure why.

For all the hype other players are getting I think Darkmok is by far the strongest EU player.
Lack of teamfighting. Auriel doesn't work well when everything is based around small skirmishes.
Jason is a really good flex player, i guess nvt wanted a more dedicated tank guy but i cant recall bkid doing well on anything besides muradin
When i think about it tho, bkid as a tank player strives to constantly throw his weight around and make space, while jason was more caffeinish and mind gamey, maybe the fit will be good. I dont think jason is necesarily a good fit for the fury-shaped hole that gfe has had for a while but as a player i feel like his playstyle suits gfe, he did a really great job molding himself to nvt's style though.

bkid out of GFE. Has a new team but it wasn't announced.
Not really surprised.
EDIT: Damn laggy ass NeoGAF. I tried to post this for an hour lol

Just glad they aren't making sweeping changes they have a lot of potential, internationally.

36% winrate, 12W/21L, on Braxis Holdout. That map can go eat a bag of dicks.

Medivh and Zarya shields are kinda bullshit in QM games when you que as dps/tank in no healer games.
Zarya is kinda manageable but I think Medivh should not be grouped into no heals QM games.
I dont think he should count as support but maybe have the system only group him in QM games with support.

I'd actually love to see a special dialog box pop up if you attempt to solo-queue Medivh. Like a "a you really sure you want to do this?" warning.

^Medivh just has a high learning curve. In the right hands he's OP as hell.
Also Medivh+Butcher is the absolute worst.
Also Medivh+Butcher is the absolute worst.
The problem (in my eyes), is that Medivh is a niche hero, which means he will always be feast or famine in a Quick Match game. He will be amazing in certain comps, but garbage in many, and when solo queuing, it's a roll of the dice which you'll get.
Medivh isn't the first hero like this of course, but what's becoming problematic for QM is that Blizzard has started releasing more and more niche comp heroes. This is wonderful for drafting modes (and thus, better overall for the game), but means QM is going to get worse and worse.

He was yesterday as well and has been playing them rarely under cog
I don't remember him ever playing them for Cog, but that's so far back at this point it's hard to be sure. Can't say I've ever seen him pull them out on stream either.
I'm guessing they're just dicking around a bit and trying not to show their hands for Blizzcon. With his skill level/apm it should be a hero(es) that he is pretty good at, though.

Faye at least claimed so yesterday. Just glad it's not mono guldan games.
It's too bad they had to show the Li-Ming vs Illidan thing.
it's the best choice in that tier against illidan (besides gotlike positioning and gcannon) but i dunno if it's something worth keeping a secret, like they're not gonna bust out li ming as an illidan counter anytime soon
does glau not play alarak? was a good opportunity to pick him

Won my first ever Team League game last night with four of my friends, felt incredible. We've been really working on our communication lately and team comps, and it was so worth it. Can't wait to do more.
Our comp was: Stitches, Butcher, Sgt. Hammer, Morales, Medivh (me)

oh my god this sounds like such an annoying comp to go up against.

It was pretty glorious and a lot of fun, we've been perfecting it in QM. The only thing to note is that we should be banning Chromie moving forward, which gave us a bit of trouble here and there.
Here we go again!

Fuck Chromie! Burn the gnome*!
Yeah, she's become a real terror to play against lately, though she is so fun to play as when you're blasting fools left and right.
Unrelated, but are the two new Halloween skins confirmed to be coming out tomorrow? The Valla and Xul ones.
Managed to get Alarak to level 5 playing with a friend in QM. Though quick match games are usually a crapshoot, I settled on a lightning focused build which I felt pretty good about. Mana cost reduction, +range, extra healing, cooldown quest, sadism, both ulti's by level 20. It's probably actually a bit better in QM because there's often no supports on either team, so you can just zap people from range on CD and eventually they need to do something about it or leave to go heal.
A big thing that helped me when playing him is when I learned about the Alt + W thing (no mouse click) which automatically casts the Force Push on you and shoves you forward whichever way you are facing. HUGELY helpful for getting out of bad spots quickly instead of trying to get yourself in it with a manual cast.
He's fun and I was considering picking him up, but I should still probably grab the rest of the 2k/4k heroes I'm missing to try and round myself out for the Draft modes.
