So I know we are probably all aware of this, but wanted to bring it up anyway cause I find it very interesting...

Thoughts on Blizzard embracing the "MOBA" title in their new trailer?
I believe the guys on CORE discussed this and that's where I heard it first because I hadn't watched. I agree with them, though. I'm not sure running away from it so long as the best play. You are what are, as well as what you are perceived as when you're a product being sold.
Over the past year we've seen them change hero design a good deal, delve further into esports, and all of that in an effort to embrace more hardcore or veteran players. I guess this was the final nail in the Hero Brawler coffin. Good riddance.
I've been a support main since probably shortly after Feb. 2015 when Milly started.
The state of supports right now though kind of prices me out.
My stats stack up favorably on HOTSlogs (higher than averages in diamond, etc) and my numbers were always good, but I couldn't win at all with Auriel when she was released. 38% winrate in 13 games I think. Not sure if it was just early adoption and people not understanding her and me not being 100% or what, but I've never had that bad of a start on a support. I had a 71% winrate on OG release Kharazim across 50+ games, for example. I also don't have good rapport with this current version of Brightwing. The only current "strong" support I play is Malfurion, so I've just went into tanks.
Picked up Chen and Zarya. Already played ETC and Muradin and Leoric. Will jump on Artanis once his Q + E fix is in. They double so well as bruisers right now that it doesn't feel as bad as it used to back in the day.

I heard their discussion, while they're probably right... hindsight is 20/20. I don't blame Blizz from backing away from the MOBA term, they weren't trying t to attract the LoL/DOTA people, they thought there was an audience that hadn't already played a MOBA and they were going after them. Turns out that audience is super small, so now they've shifted the marketing focus towards MOBA players.
Also I just realized the Brawl reset and its Blackhearts Revenge yet again.
And I take back what I said about the Wind Walk talent at 16 being OP on Samuro... Press the Attack is pure fucking nonsense. If they have any front line at all you must take this talent. Holy mother of sweet baby Jesus!

Dignitas is getting owned in China. 2-0 by MVP and estar bodying them in their firdt game of the series.
Next game they take a 7 minute keep. Dignitas is legit trying to throw a game they could have won 8 minutes in.

Entertaining mess are the kindest words I can find. Anyone have an idea how Best of 2s work? Dig estar are 1-1 but they skipped directly to AA vs Miracle

Awesome I love round robin, means everyone plays against each other at least once.
AA competing with Dig for biggest f up by executing the VP RoF combo in the wrong order saving their opponents.

I've played him since beginning but not much lately. Did they do something to him recently ?
Mount speed nerf helped him a lot.
hehe Cable Sonya
You refer to Marvel's X-factor? That brings back memories used to love that comicBreezyLimbo

Mount speeds were nerfed? When!?
Few patches ago. 140->130.
It's good for burst, you just need to be moving that hat around a lot because Syl's got really bad sustained damage.

Auriel + Valla is just dumb OTOH, hat her during a strafe and have full heals on CD over and over
I wasn't thinking about the W in teamfights, yeah that adds a ton. I was thinking more 1v1, where she's pretty awful.
Valla might need a shavedown to stop the crowd-out effect at top levels.
