I'm sure they're gonna do map rotations. They keep bringing it up too often and responding to questions about it too often for that not to happen.

And yeah, GoT should go. It's gone from my favorite map this time last year to my least favorite now. I mainly prefer Tomb/BoE/Infernal nowadays.

It's just so bad, and they've admitted it! Remember when they finally admitted HM was bad and removed it? What's taking so long for them to remove GoT? It's even worse than HM, IMO.

In EU we find mostly that Jaina's cooldowns are too long to play around properly. You'll find her picked most in situations where every time she drops a rotation you'll get a kill (ie ETC + Tyrande + Jaina), but other than that she doesn't see much play.

Okay this one is actually juicy

There was a falling out in the roster where one player felt like my attitude wasn't acceptable. I'm not entirely sure he was right as we never really discussed the issues, but basically after a lot of the roster left and Bakery started rebuilding the team they were unhappy with the ranged players they were trying out and they wanted to give me another shot. I'd like to hope I exceeded expectations. :)
I don't think we're looking at any roster changes in the future, especially for after Korea. Unless something drastic happens I believe all five of us and the org are very happy.

Yeah I don't really see how you can build any other way. I know at 1 and 13 you can pick something else, but aside from that...

I really wish you could go full Worgen and not die in 2 seconds. That would be amazing.

He's got a lot of other decent talents.... I think that once he starts getting more popular in NA we'll see some other skill builds, or at least niche talent picks in certain spots.

I think his talents that increase his range are pretty good... especially darkflight/disengage range and lunge range. He's got underrated mobility and I think once some of these pros who are just starting to pick him up really learn him they'll abuse those talents.... and then everyone will just copy that shit and be like: "he only has 2 builds". I guess those are both on the same talent tier... so maybe they move one to 7? that would be cool.

I think the 2nd heroic underrated as well just for the mobility... but I really think they need to up the projectile speed.

He has 2 builds already but all his potential builds revolve around a really specific way of playing him that was determined by his stats

Inner beast and Cocktail are the 2 builds (?), cocktail is usually better for poke.
Pretty much have to get either mobility talent at 13, Worgen Q seems a tad better.
Talents at 16 and 20 are a bit lacklustre.

Is the W build penetrating round, follow through, vulnerability, rewind?

that's what I used the two times i played her since the patch... it's fun interweaving autos with abilities I guess.

I don't know exactly how it changed her play style though... and it doesn't really fix her biggest issue for me which is 0 lane presence and only like 5 seconds of uptime in team fights.

Range and AA bonus
One in the Chamber
2x W
Vuln

If that doesn't change her playstyle, you must be high. You're literally weaving abilities the entire time rather than W Q AA GG GP.

yea that's the build I was using.

I guess I just have a different idea of what changing her playstyle means (roaming, picking off heroes outside of teamfights), but I didn't really play her at all before the latest change so I guess I don't really know what it used to be either.

Hello everyone,

We're planning to release a new Balance Update on Wednesday, March 9 in order to fix a few bugs, and make adjustments to number of heroes, abilities, and talents. This week’s update will be released in the Americas login region first, and will roll out to all other regions around the world throughout the rest of the day. The following heroes will receive balance changes with Wednesday’s update:

Assassin
Falstad
Greymane
Li-Ming
Valla

Specialist
Abathur
Zabara

Support
Kharazim
Warrior
Artanis
Sonya

Of those listed, Artanis, Falstad, and Valla will receive the largest number of changes. Head over to the official Heroes site on Wednesday to catch the patch notes. Until then, we’ll see you in the Nexus!

I really really really wish they would stop messing with heroes that are FINE and start fixing the FUCKIN BROKE ASS SHIT THATS BEEN BROKE FOREVER! jesus. /babyrage

Like... what the fuck are they doing over there?

"Guys, what hero needs work right now? Gazlowe?"

"Nah, we haven't made any changes to Sonya for like 2 weeks so I think we need to revisit her"

Scenario 2:

"Guys, Tychus sucks in everyway and nobody plays him."

"You're right, We should make changes to Valla."

I remember when Valla was the poster child for baseline assassin hero and their power levels. Those were the days kids.

Goodbye sweet princess Li Ming, so close to her being my most played hero.

BKSnitch said:
She's strong on maps like Tomb where you can win purely off of rotation, and also she's pretty good on Infernal Shrines where rotation plays a similar role and also she can get a lot of value off of Multishot on the shrine minions for last hitting. Since they were the top two most popular maps I believe, it makes sense that she was picked so often!

To my question what was up with Valla

Kharazim buff? YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Poor Abathur. It's a never-ending circle down the drain for him. Everytime he pokes his little slug head up, he gets washed back down. Rinse, repeat.

They've already stated that they're doing a large Gazlowe rework. That takes time. A lot more time than tweaking a few of Sonya's values.

Fixing Kharazim- let him rotate his damn auras, but pick one to be way better (current value) and the other two worse than current values.

Tracer is the Hero discussed in the article. Apparently she can fire on the move and receives her ultimate at level 1, pulse bomb, and can upgrade it at 10. Upgrades include increased radius and slow, increase damage but decreased area or faster charge and longer range. Slated for a April release.

I hope Snitch is on THH again this week as the one dude in his AMA suggested. I like that kid. Also like him getting Zoia blubbering and blustering.

Snitch on THH was the best episode by far, pretty sure that was also when they called Khaldor and he asked why the name BOB?

The novelty of a lvl 1 ult is less so when there's been multiple heroes with an activatable trait or just a natural extra ability in Xul even. She gonna be the new raynor because no stutter stepping.
