Your stats say otherwise. 
We're actually pretty even. You have an advantage because you don't have any TL games? Unless you haven't uploaded.
Anyway, sorry I get heated at times. I'll do my best to watch it.
Regarding Nazeebo - I think the majority would say that the rework didn't hit home like they thought it would. His stats do say otherwise, but I think there are many other assassins/specialists that fill his role better.

This happens to me a lot on Zarya and Auriel in quick match. People there don't seem to understand that you're losing out on half her value by not having someone with her at all times. She's basically twice as powerful in draft modes due to this very reason
Things usually go better for me as Auriel. Of course, if people try to leave me solo lane as her, I just leave unless there's a really good reason.
I haven't played Zarya in quite a while and suddenly realized she works great against Ragnaros. Especially good if Rag takes Lava Wave. With the increased personal shields talent, it didn't seem to be able to do enough to crack her self-shield, and it meant a nice quick energy boost. Even more when a teammate would stand in it too.

I will say that if the enemy rag is still taking lava wave at this point, they're either new to the hero or just not very knowledgeable. That damage nerf neutered it and his other ult is ridiculously powerful. I'd go as far as to say you're making a major mistake taking lava wave on any map aside from Braxis.

lava wave is still teh best pick tho on most maps

It's been pigeon holed into an XP advantage ultimate/wave clear ultimate now, and its super fucking depressing. Way over nerfed imo. The win rate will probably always be pretty good because XP advantages lead to wins more than anything, but the problem with it wasn't the damage, it was the shitty players who can't move out of it in time.
Sulfuras is just absurd burst damage and leads to so many kills if it doesn't secure one immediately. I personally prefer the team fight ultimate when it comes down to it in almost all situations, but you'll see Sulfuras is climbing the ranks in terms of popularity and win rates, particularly in master league.

Holy shit how is that even possible? The map design alone should prevent this
Us: Aba, Tychus, Dehaka, KT, Li-Ming
Them: Chromie, Johanna, Samuro, Falstad, Greymane
Basically with Chromie, Johanna and Samuro constantly forcing a stall on the points. Their Jo was really good.
They won the early game, we took over mid, almost threw at the end. They got the first few larger waves, luckily we had KT so it was a bit easier for us. They went boss pit with 2 down, we had 3 down. Qruul (Dehaka) and I (Tychus) scouted it out and noticed we they were low so we invaded and both died for the cause but got the boss.

I just spent $60 on Overwatch loot boxes and I don't even play that game. Blizzard has a strangle hold on my bank account.
Related question: which Overwatch hero do you want next? For me its easy, Reinhardt would add so much to the game with his base kit translated over exactly. Main tank with crazy engage, wave clear w/ his hammer, shield for his team, OP stun ult.... Blizzard please.

DVa should have a fun kit but Mei has the most moba ready kit. Ana for support.
DVa's trait is the robot (2nd health bar), activateable to resummon it. AA aoe shield, dash over/through terrain with displacement, siege up (AA speed up movement speed down). Ultimate would be like tracer variations of her explosion. 1 would immediately call down a mech w/o the trait being activated the other would add a charge to it and do more damage or something.

Oh man Dva would be so much fun in HOTS! Especially if they bring over her kit as is (they won't) but that low cool down shield against AA heroes like Raynor/Valla would be so dope. Imagine her thrusting all over the map (that's what she said) and launching her nuke at the enemy team! Fuck I wanna play Dva now.
I just hope they don't add Genji anytime soon, you just know he will be cancer personified

eh, I've been putting this off forever but I gotta get it done tonight...Might need some help knocking out this nexus challenge if anyone is just trying to do QMs, Unranked, or Co-op tonight.
Hanzo, Mei or Ana just because they would really make designing abilities around the game alot easier and they just seem to make sense.
Roadhog would just be Stitches 2.0
give me Torjborn, I think Hots could use another "builder." Actually, thinking about it, that would be boring as hell. Genji would probably be the most fun addition

I think wave is still real good but a lot of ppl still dunno how to use it, which is biting them w/ the longer cd

It's not a complete picture but you can check their hotslogs profile to get an idea. The problem is that people need to upload their replay to get a complete picture but it still helps if you do it yourself to see what you need to work on or what hero you are good with among other things.

You can also check their rank on their profile.
Played with Leoric last night in vs AI just to get a feel for him and to finish up the Winter Veil event. He seems unique in that he can lower his own respawn timer and still act while a ghost on the battlefield. The "Undying King" indeed.
He's so slow that it is a little bit bothersome but his voice lines just crack me up to no end. Always going on about "rooting out betrayal" and stuff. His voice line to Johanna: "I am always on the side of right, if only the same could be said about my allies." - lol
I also quite like: "Kneel, peasant!" and "All are loyal in death." (when he kills someone).
Heroes of the Storm is quite a goofy little game so a character like Leoric who is so...deadly serious when he speaks and acts makes his whole spiel comedy. Maybe I just have a twisted sense of humor? I don't know.
I read somewhere that Leoric was the least played warrior currently. I think he's probably difficult to get maximum value out of in terms of being a traditional warrior but his kit is certainly interesting and I love his comedy.

So nothing in game, I see.
I don't think you can. At least while playing, not sure about the score screen.

Yeah score screen and in draft if they say something in chat.
If you check regularly you can pinpoint your approx range.
Leo just needs the changes to his Q reversed. Dehaka gets away with his waveclear.

Didn't Blizzard say Leoric was getting a little rework soon? Seems like I read something like that somewhere...
What did his Q (Skeletal Swing, right?) used to do?
It just used to be much higher damage, and the double damage ability worked on everything that wasn't a hero. It gave him great wave clear, which for a while meant he and Johanna were first pick warriors as they had fantastic wave clear the other warriors didn't have.
Of course now we have Dehaka, and Leoric has been significantly weakened, so a reversal to some of the nerfs would probably be okay.

Used to do double damage against structures as well.
I don't think its damage was nerfed but the scaling changes might have been a nerf for him that never got rectified.
And to this day, we still have the feeding in base Leorics because of it.

They picked up Zaelia in his place. From his twitlonger it seems pretty amicable, huge props to athero though, he stepped up when Dig needed him and performed to the best of his ability. Glad he plans to keep playing.

Theyve said they're working on making him relevant again, we will see... I do love me some skeleton King as well
They needed to just jack up his HP. His survivability got wrecked w/ the scaling changes and they never bothered to go back and fix it.
