He's probably a little OP, but agreed for sure. He's so damn fun to play

Looks like all heroes free from the 13th through the 16th according to their Facebook.
Played some Xul today. Used to be one of my favorite heroes, got his master skin had like a 65% win rate with him. He's so shit in this current meta
Yeah and I just bought him also. I really like his wave clear and push but he struggles against any kind of CC and has no burst dmg of his own. He is very situational, unfortunately.

He struggles mightily against EQ Apocalypse Bloodlust, as he has no movement speed bonuses and just kinda dies. I think he can only be played on blackhearts and spider queen, which is a bummer
Zul'Jin is fun, but i really don't know how viable he is. Its just so easy to kill him.

So I was playing ranked placements, everyone just stacks on the middle, die or survive then stay there until they get wipe or do the objetive and still stacking on one lane

I can't say I've ever seen this behavior aside from the very first few minutes of the game. Everyone team fights middle in the first minute and then splits to lanes.
sounds like a nightmare

Oh I was still referring to Xul with that first bit, but ya zuljin totally benefits from it!
I'm loving zuljin from a design perspective, and his voice lines are incredible.
Also, got dat Rag master skin!
Thanks duder. Well done.

top hero damage and team xp? that's the true carry.
that mini dbz powerup scream when you activate tazdingo is pretty good.

Try rebinding attack move to left click?
But Kio you troll our clan chat in Clash Royale all the time...
I'm a method actor it's what I do xD. I'm unusually verbose in clan chat for GAF Royale. It's really weird but I just roll with it.
It doesn't work well with multiple character heroes like TLV, Rexxar or Samuro right? I don't even quick cast except on tracer so maybe that doesn't help either. I've been "a moving" since Warcraft 1 so it's not something I thought it was holding me back. Battle and map awareness is something I've been working on though.

The only thing it prevents is box selecting units. So it won't affect Rexar, it's actually probably beneficial for him. Maybe it'll mess up TLV or samuro micro, but I don't box select on those heroes either.
You should use quick casting. Try "on release" option, it's very easy to adjust to.
Anyway, a move on left click is game changing for long range auto attacks.
I really hate NA.

Butcher is a beast and has been since his rework. Any time i run into one I'm a little scared, cuz 90% of butcher players are really damn good with him (the other 10% are mega-feeders)
I picked up the new skin pack today, that kharazim skin was too gangster not to buy
i wrote a whole post about positioning and made this clip (https://clips.twitch.tv/xcloser/GorgeousSalmonGingerPower) and googled this image of a 2v2 league of legends example (
the clip was meant to show a situation where the main way of dying was dehaka french kiss, but instead of leaving it's range linearly (running da fuk away) I moved in a way that ensured he took meaningful dmg. so like w/ an auto attacker you want every step he takes to get to you to be painful while keeping out of tongue range
tl;dr think of range of influence as a ring and think about how your cooldowns and enemy cooldowns change the size of this ring and always b shooting cuz ur dead weight if you aint shooting.
if you can right click someone, right click where you want to move, and then right click someone again you probably don't need to change any key bindings
) to show as an example for positioning but it got kind of long winded so i deleted it

Fuck how many maps are there?

I would just rotate them. The more often you have the same map the more proficient you get at them. If you have 3 sky temple games back to back you learn much quicker what does and doesn't work. Heck people at low elos might learn timings.
Because it is a ridiculously high learning curve for new players, and even for existing players. I play the game a lot, usually 3+ games a day. I think I've had less than 20 games on Warhead Junction in total since it was released. We played garden on Monday as a 5 stack and lost because we forgot the basic rule on garden (if both teams have a terror, always always defend). Simply because we haven't played on garden in a while.
The number of maps is just too high. Each requires a different draft and strategy and that is simply too much info for a game that prides itself on accessibility and easy entry.
Also, because some maps suck and need removing - garden, pirate map and haunted mines would be my first three to go. I still resent the time they spent on haunted mines, because from my perspective it's still a fucking stupid, unfun map that still has fundamental design issues.
