What's you guys' opinion on calamity, as mentioned before I'm kinda down on it.

I was really hot on it come release but seeker is just much better imo. Which is why I'm surprised calamity is the most popular talent of its tier.
You can build her to be a much worse Zeratul which is fun and she can tank bosses but it's just not good compared to seeker + glass cannon.
Just had a 30 minute HL match on Dshire, 3 of the opponent's team dead, none of ours all of us healthy, core at 38% + shield. My team chases Gmayne, in vain may I remark, and then goes for the hard camp. We still ended quickly from there since we get the DK but come on 30 minutes and you wanna extend it further. One game to go on my placement matches, gonna guess rank 22. I'm having more fun ever since I started considering it as just a bit more than QM.
Gonna be sad when Temporal Flux gets the nerfbat, it's just game over with immobile heroes unless someone interupts you.
Edit: of course I get a Nova player that plays her in HL because she's fun...

that's actually a first
I think Calamity is easily the best talent at that tier, so at least she has a good range of choices. It's gives her a high damage AE ability, which is extremely useful when she's dived. I also think without Ess of Johan Seeker requires incredible skill to pull off.
So, what's the betting C9 draft Greymane this week?

Lol actually got rank 22 and got absolutely crushed in the game. Our Rehgar was dead most of the time, because he'd stick around at low HP against a burst comp, and I wasn't playing Diablo particularly well either. Nova got zero kills, though a bunch of assists because, it's BoE. Why would you pick her on that map, it's one of the worst maps for her on an already horrible hero.
I dunno. That's the team with the smallest range of heroes that's actually any good. I definitely think we'll see one of em pull it out, but if it's C9 I'd be a little surprised. Perhaps all the talk about their small hero pool has made them branch out over the past month, though.
very useful against certain picks like zeratul
dont be baited into using it as extra damage, only use if safe (after 13 you can teleport onto someone, have them throw down a skill like a zera q or worgen attack and then tele again for free for dmg/escape)
also it gives her actual waveclear
love li ming talents in general
i think the likelihood of greymane is pretty high this weekend
idream has him at 10 on his main
oh cool hotlogs has a "view matches together" option now
nm you have to pay for it

I tend to take it when no one else is bothering to clear Zagara creep, for the most part.
I think her waveclear is fine just stand to the side of a wave and shoot at the mage in the middle, hits pretty much all minions.
When I'm using teleport aggressively I don't blink in but blink to a side to get the perfect angle.
Seeker isn't that hard to hit, especially with temporal flux at 20, and it's helpful against in your face characters.

Xull looks great

Eh Sanderson does great world building but his the rest is usually fairly mediocre.
I didn't even realize this was out. Whelp, into my veins it goes.
I've never read a statement that I disagree more with.

First game in a few weeks and my team comp is ETC, Anub, Cho'Gal and a Sylvanas. HotS quality matchmaking
Please don't take this the wrong way, but there's nothing wrong with that matchup. In fact, assuming the Tyrande takes the appropriate talents, I'd probably put money on her winning over the other team.
Solo Tyrande has been a great and high picked support for some time now, and going double support against her never worked as a counter.
It sounds like the game came down to skill and co-ordination on the Tyrande' more than anything.

Xul looks like a support/specialist hybrid. Heavier on the teamfight support with bone armor aura, AoE attack-speed reduction and single target lockdown. His ults look like they're split between defensive and offensive options. I like the idea of the undead mages option more than poison nova. which looks like a turtle/reactive ult given his lack of mobility to quickly initiate with it. It'll be interesting to see what his lane pressure is like with the skeletons but that seems at odds with the rest of his kit. And how does that work if you're not fighting in lane near minions? Does nothing? Raise a meager skeleton if a hero dies? Raise a couple?
He looks interesting but not really like he's the solution to anything.

I take it back milly. You can be pro hots if you move to the Philippines.
I think xul will definitely be relevate, a strong lane plus a amazing team fight heroics? Sounds like zagara and sylvanas. Both relevant.
Edit: that also sounds like gazlowe. Although I don't think gaz's lane is that strong, because it doesn't really push. But if Xuls damage and gankability is gazlowe tier then I guess he might be crap.... But his base kit seems a lot stronger. Maybe he has to stand still to channel his scythe skill shot?
Errgh. How much better would gazlowe be if he could move while charging his laser?

this face running joke is weird
I would have marked out had hair stroking occur, not going to lie.
I have seen tournaments here and now for HotS, but Anna seems really smooth / calm / comfortable. I'm really impressed. I watch a lot of DOTA 2 / LoL tournaments - she still has impressed me even compared to many of the hosts for other games.
