[Milly79]

Mount: - Battle bear

Skins: - Christmas Nazeebo - Christmas Lunara - Infernal Malfurion - Mecha Muradin

Kharazim update!

"Allies" at level 4 that are basically a ward.

 

[Alavard]

Kharazim getting a big update apparently.

He will have a talent tier to pick a type of mystic ally he can summon to give different effects. Also, they're going to improve his damage spec further.

Edit - oh snap, Dehaka update.

 

[Milly79]

Dehaka update too, omggg

That was lame. Burrow cancel in and adaptation heals full.

Artanis E while Q is confirmed in

 

[Ketch]

Those talents sound insane.

- Heroic Difficulty
- Your Health and damage are increased by 50% while in Molten Core, and its cooldown is reduced by 50 seconds.

And this is clearly the best.

 

[Star Falcon]

Sounds like Zul'jin is imminent.

 

[Syf]

Diablo "Diablo 3" skin coming soon

Oooh, I actually like the D3 look so might buy. It'll be tough to dethrone Godzilla Diablo though.

Also Artanis change is gonna be fun af.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

And this is clearly the best.

It sounds like you can cast molten core on the same fort if needed. Thats gonna be insane.

Also he is not gonna work in Towers of Doom at all.

 

[kirblar]

Sounds like Zul'jin is imminent.

Yup. Zul'Jin and D. Va the next two?

Q - Mentioned earlier that almost all character's are in game. Noticed Zul'jin isn't in the game.

A - Did you notice the Amani War Bear in the video earlier?

 

[Milly79]

Please add Malthael or Mei

 

[Syf]

or Mei

 

[Alur]

Malfurion finally gets a decent skin.

 

[Mrg8523-]

Now I remember why I stopped playing this game.... I really want to like this game but this always seems to happen whenever I come back.

You can take over towers that aren't destroyed yet.

 

[SargerusBR]

[kirblar]

He actually seems amazing for defending a tower you took over on the enemy side.

 

[Alur]

I want that Lil Ragnaros skin.

 

[I'm an expert]

recent characters for free is pretty strange but uh thanks

 

[kirblar]

recent characters for free is pretty strange but uh thanks

It's likely aimed at getting older players to come back.

 

[Ketch]

Yea definetly great for bot lane getting pumpkins in

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Whhaaaaaat

Oh man

 

[Svafnir]

Whhaaaaaat

Oh man

Only if they are yours. Enemy towers can only be taken if destroyed.

 

[brian!]

wait do you get the characters forever or is it for a limited time

 

[kirblar]

wait do you get the characters forever or is it for a limited time

They give them to you and then they take them away because they like withholding things.

Spoiler

/s forever duh.

 

[Zackat]

man they really pushin heroes. pretty cool

 

[BriareosGAF]

It's really Random. I think it balances the number of supports, but that's it. Everything else is totally random in every respect.

Does not balance support. Just played Auriel vs Brightwing + Rehgar (the two support lost because the opposing team had three assassins and we had one and couldn't mitigate dps).

They also don't balance parties... have had two matches where no parties on one side and 2/2/1 parties on other.

 

[kirblar]

Not balancing ARAM = super dumb

After Ranked. 46% in Quick Match, 30% in Ranked, AI dropped to 16% and Unranked Draft is at 6%.

They have metrics on where players spend their time in game, shared on screen.

59% in quick match. 22% in AI and 19% in Ranked.

Player Time before Ranked Update

oh damn that's a nice surprise, my strategy of not buying any heroes since lunara came out is paying off

played a brawl and you have to play 3 for the gold? im not gonna make it

streams up: https://www.twitch.tv/blizzheroes

 

[Ronabo]

I hope Rag says "die insect!" when you use an ability.

 

[Zackat]

So they're making Hero League solo queue only at some point in the future. 2's, 3's, and 5's for team league. Should be interesting.

 

[Syf]

Did you guys notice the new art is just boobs. Everywhere.

[Alavard]

Oh look, Haunted Mines is coming back.

 

[Syf]

MINES

Nice.

 

[brian!]

luv me some mines

dunno who to cheer for this game
dig should technically be the better team here
what does adblock not block twitch ads anymore

 

[Star Falcon]

Meanwhile, in Gold League:

Think this was the most one-sided match i've played in the lifetime of this game.

Edit: Hurrah for mines!

 

[Zackat]

oh wow hero swaps.

nice

 

[brian!]

first ban tychus makes me feel like dig has some cheese ready

 

[kirblar]

first ban johanna wtf lol

 

[brian!]

well she is really strong on that map...maybe it was a scouted ban?

 

[Ketch]

Oh look, Haunted Mines is coming back.

well guess ill quit this game again

 

[Zackat]

well guess ill quit this game again

it looks pretty good now, 4 mine entrances and changed mine layout

 

[Alavard]

well guess ill quit this game again

Well keep in mind these changes to it:

Golem spawns changed, now alternate lanes
Merc camps removed, now sapper camps like on Towers of Doom
Reworked the mine layout: four entrances and more evenly distributed skulls

 

[Syf]

So I was playing brawl when they talked about reducing the time it takes to progress. What did they say exactly?

 

[brian!]

i kinda favor aa's comp here, lots of immobile targets, but malf/mura can really snowball dig's comp so aa kinda has to not throw too early
aa has really poor engage though, like if dig can outplay it aa have very little to work w/
