Late to the party but Varian's fun. I really like the parry mechanic, it's really satisfying and rewarding when you use it to block or nullify certain attacks. What I don't particularly like that it takes so long for the multi-class function to come online, even though your talent choices are sort of leading up to the role you're going to choose, especially if you're the "tank" on your team.
Prot Varian's great, between taunt and the stun, it's so great for locking down targets. I haven't had much luck with Arms Varian and sort of prefer Fury as the dps spec because it's got more utility outside of teamfighting.
Kind of glad I waited on buying him and tried him out for free. Don't think he's a hero I'll buy anytime soon.

Ya kind of my thoughts on him as well. Prot is the only spec I think can be played in competitive play, but his other two are fun for pub stomping. I usually take all melee heroes to level 10 really quickly, but Varian I'm probably leaving at 9 for a long, long time. He's just not that fun?
Zuna's a good player and the way the crowds jeer at him is pure dumb. HotS needs more players like him.
And re Bakery Brian, it's interesting because he explains in detail every talent choice, where he is moving to, what the team should be doing and why - and also when he makes a mistake and what he should have done. It's way more detailed than any other streamer, and if he streamed more I'd happily sub because it's by far and away the most informative stream. You really get an insight into pro level thinking and supports from him.

So why did Denial leave HOTS? This first HGC season is gonna be weird with all these no sponsor teams with stupid names facing each other 
Spent my day today farming tomatoes. I'm not going to blame this entirely on my teammates, but what I saw today in terms of pure incompetence, and embarrassing decision making was nothing short of stunning.

Whoever said Fan is a basement dweller might not have been completely incorrect, he called himself introverted in a twitlonger.
He also name dropped KBro again on stream.

We think we know people cause we see them on stream. It's all a persona. People can and are alot of the time proven to be extremely fake

Nah
Whats gonna happen is karen is going to get alot of shit her way. Yeah you can feel bad for fan, but thats only 1 side of the story. I could care less for him talking about it on stream for that reason. Viewers arent his friends.

Oh, I just disagreed with your sentiment that fans gonna get shit thrown at him. I doubt he will, knowing the internets leaning. Otherwise I agree with you

Does Glau have any other stories than tempo? He kinda left cog and then joined within a week. Early this year and they left the org over money issues.
Glau getting kicked from Tempo was right when I started watching Hots, was there anything before that?

I stopped the bleeding, but it wasn't due to my teammates lack of trying to throw, that is for sure. We were completely obliterating them (correction, I was obliterating them) and our Valla decides to solo lane top at level 16 and die immediately after being warning pinged 10 times. We spiral out of control into full throw territory as my team starts dying one by one to complete idiocy. Luckily we reach level 20 first somehow still and big red button does the rest. I am astounded at the level of garbage I'm playing with right now.
Blizzard must have been in the giving mood for the holidays today.
We went 6-0 in Team League (me, Milly, proto). Milly filled, I played Valla 5 times, and proto played Diablo 4 or 5 times. Just straight stomps almost exclusively.
As usual, though, we always say "let's do one more". Went into QM, riparooni win streak. Lump of coal confirmed.

Rag is a fucking joy to play. Not sure there's ever been a hero/champ with a cooler, more unique design than Rag regardless of what your moba of choice is.
Finally got him to 9, been slacking because I've been playing so much HL. Now begins the long grind to 10
merry christmas!
Looking forward to Rag dropping down to 10k so I can snatch him up. Played with him a bit in Brawl and he was a blast to play
[edit] Oh snap he's already 10k gold had no idea! Bought
lol only hero I am missing right now is Medivh. Not sure when I will buy though

Rag is really awesome. Unique and great feeling kit. He joins my list of heroes that feel "just right" to their concept and in any situation with their particular moves: Zagara, Uther, Auriel, Xul, Rexxar, Jaina, Brightwing
Others can be particular to only certain situations, or something feels a bit off in execution, but these feel so good to me.

Yes expulsion zone is the better heroic due to its lower CD and being able to use it to peel or trap opponents. Peeling meaning keeping opponents away from your teammates so they can't damage them. To trap opponents you throw it in front of them preferably in a chokehold so they can't run.
For instance you can throw it onto an enemy gate so they can't pass it to get to safety. Another usage is to perma displace them by pushing them against terrain/structure making them unable to use channeled abilities in addition.
Seemed alright, but all 3 times I tried it got matched with account level 10-15 people that don't know how to play for some reason.

Snowballs are pretty OP, the big ones are almost instant waveclears. I got globals all 3 games and won 2 and threw 1.

I guess I'm just unlucky then, my teams have been so fucking demolished that snowballs havent really mattered in my games. Each game has had about 30 deaths on my team and 4-5 on the other.
Anyone else kind of bummed Lava Wave is worthless in team fights now that it doesn't do shit for hero damage?
Its just an XP ult now and that is sad for such a cool ability.

Wasn't too snowbally for me. The 1st was a pretty nice comeback even, the 2nd a stomp and the 3rd a throw. So I'd say we had it all.

Had a HL game earlier playing as Rehgar with a Thrall and Diablo.
Diablo is damn near unstoppable with bloodlust. We completely decimated them in every teamfight in less than 10 seconds. Bloodlust is damn amazing with earthquake to.

I faced double rag and double sylv. Was a slow painful death. Lanes just kept being pushed in.
Hey all, a friend just got me into HotS last night, and I'm really enjoying learning the ropes as it's my first moba (awww, etc.)
Anyhoo, I'm going for the Nexus challenge and I was wondering if there's any risk associated with linking my Battle.net account with my PS4 for Overwatch rewards.
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question. A couple of months ago I spoke with a Blizzard support rep who helped me recover my account, and he told me linking my Battle.net account would reset console progress... Now they're promoting the link feature with the cross-game goodies, and I doubt there's any reason to worry, but just wanted to check with folks here first.
