I keep forgetting to check. If it's there I'm surprised there isn't a Reddit thread.

As for the new podcast, yeah. Provided the sound quality isn't potato tier it's hard to imagine it not outdoing THH.

Watched the Heroes of the Dorm spot on ESPNU. Michael Udall got dat face time.

I see in the Dorm bracket rules PDF we get an in-game portrait for doing a bracket, but has anyone seen the actual portrait?

Jaycie is a legit name, the fuck? What was up with Trikslyr I can hardly understand a word he's saying.

LOL <3. You are truly a man who does not like many things. You're the HOTSGAF equivalent of Clint Eastwood in Gran Turino. Are you certain you're not the elder statesman here and the rest of us are much younger?

Anyway, ball-busting aside, I didn't notice an issue with Trik's voice. He does have some Dread/Khaldor Italkreallyfastandtrytogetitallinonebreath in him, but /shrug. His streams are the best because he's always so damn positive. As for questioning someone named Jaycie...I'll see your "the fuck?" and raise you a:

...however you say that. Okay, okay. Maybe I wasn't done with the ball-busting :p

These two donations on Chu's stream sum up the issues we face in HOTS in 2016:

I'm a serial nitpicker. I'm the asshole in the theatre that can't shut up how stuff doesn't make sense.
I also can't help it that the US have no name register and can basically vomit on the birth certificate and it goes through.

It wasn't so bad later on but if you ask me what he says in the TLDR bracket video when addressed for the first time I don't understand anything.
I know his streams and I understand him just fine when he doe them which is why I wondered what was up. Was it just jitters was it some texan accent or what?

Lastly in the glorious, and needlessly complex, language that is german we can just make up words and they make sense, so suck it. Frühmorgensforumstirade! Schlafentzugsrythmusstörungsstressdebakel! I don't make any sense right now.

Everyone seemed super nervous but Gillyweed in the actual 30 minute show on TV. Jake tried to jump the gun several times, and Trik stumbled some. Gilly did too, but not in any way different than normal. She just gets ahead of herself I think.

EDIT: Chu8 just raised $2000+ in one stream and now has to shave his head on stream. I should've been a streamer so people could donate to me with annoying memes and I could make bank.

Ugh could not get a single team to fight as 5 today. Or stay within beam range on Morales...no running to the opposite side of the fight then behind a wall will not let me heal you. I'm not going into the fray.

Is there a non tldr version publicly available, a good trainwreck is entertaining to watch even better when it's informative.

That makes Chu basically a myfreecam girl. It's always fascinating to watch the people willing to pay someone to humiliate/denigrate themselves, it's so morbid. The practice itself is distasteful imo. Always wondered why Twitch doesn't crack down on it.
When it's done in the name of charity in a humourous auction I'm down with it though. Like John Oliver once auctioned himself committing a crime of the bidder's choice and afterwards robbed a prepared liquor store with the winner. For like 20k.

It is a pretty amazing phenomenon. I agree it's super strange TBH, but here I am watching it so WTF do I know.

It wasn't quite a trainwreck but it was very much "thisisourfirsttimewe'resogoddamnnervous/anxious" and a little cringey because it certainly did nothing but reinforce stereotypes. Not that I particularly care, but a bit more casual approach would've been nice.

EDIT: Dread's brother is like the perfect Dread's brother. Is this Dread's girlfriend or the brother's? I know he lives with his girlfriend so I'm confused. Maybe it's Dread's sister? lol

Dehaka has a footprint similar to that

A Warcraft raptor would too

Seems to imply a ghosty thing though idk

My guess would be a fossilized raptor, either as a character or as a mount. Or as a character with a built in mount.

Or not, maybe the foor print doesn't match. I don't know.

Edit: Dehaka is a pretty good guess, yeah

If it's Dehaka I really hope they incorporate essence absorption into his kit somehow, could be a cool hero

I agree the footprints aren't quite consistent with what Dehaka's would be though. But the pic also suggests burrow which would be a Dehaka thing

It's almost certainly Dehaka.

The image was also posted to some of the Starcraft Facebook pages of various regions:

https://www.facebook.com/Starcraft....877146377490/1061434890588376/?type=3&theater

"BREAKING NEWS: &#8216;missing&#8217; minions found dead

Early reports suggest an &#8216;outlandish&#8217; creature is responsible. Many question the legitimacy of the eyewitness reports."

Edit - huh, Blizz has added the comment: "This message has been posted on the StarCraft page instead of on the Heroes page in error. We apologise for any confusion that may have been caused by this post."

As an alternate theory what about Warcraft heroes who live in Outland with those foot prints and weird/missing/extra eyes?

yo. maybe dahaka's essence absorption thing works a little bit like Tiny's grow from DOTA2. Grow is tiny's ultimate, and it makes him get physically bigger. So maybe Dehaka kind of starts smallish (which is where those tracks are from), and as he eats minions or absorbs essence or whatever he gets bigger and bigger?

Assassin
Nova
Health increased from 1,273 (+4% per level) to 1,350 (+4% per level)
Health Regeneration increased from 2.65 per second (+4% per level) to 2.81 per second (+4% per level)
Snipe (Q)
Cooldown decreased from 8 to 6 seconds
Mana cost decreased from 60 to 50
Perfect Shot (Talent)
Cooldown reduction decreased from 4 to 3 seconds
Pinning Shot (W)
Slow amount increased from 30% to 40%
Covert Ops (Talent)
Maximum slow amount increased from 50% to 60%

Developer Comments: We have been giving Nova slow and steady buffs in order to increase her viability without pushing her burst damage to uncomfortable levels. Each round of changes has shown us positive results—albeit not large ones. A lower cooldown on Snipe and a stronger slow on Pinning Shot should help Nova players secure kills more frequently while also helping her to contribute more during engagements and skirmishes.

------------------------------------------------------

Specialist
Xul
Basic Attack damage reduced from 115 (+4% per level) to 104 (+4% per level)
Raise Skeleton (Trait)
Skeleton Mastery (Talent)
Damage bonus reduced from 100% to 50%

Corpse Explosion (Talent)
Damage reduced from 65 (+4% per level) to 55 (+4% per level)
Spectral Scythe (Q)
Damage reduced from 300 (+4% per level) to 240 (+4% per level).
Mana cost increased from 45 to 60
Cursed Strikes (W)
Attack Speed slow amount reduced from 50% to 40%

Developer Comments: Xul deals too much damage for the amount of utility he has in his kit, and his pushing Talents are vastly outperforming their competitors. He also has the highest win-rate currently and it’s still climbing, so we needed to be pretty heavy-handed with these nerfs.

------------------------------------------------------

Support
Rehgar
Ancestral Healing (R)
Can no longer be self-cast

Developer Comments: Rehgar is too hard to kill for how much value he brings to the table. Adding more counterplay options for Ancestral Healing should help to trim down the frustrating moments when you can’t seem to catch the Shaman. We also wanted to do this without nerfing Rehgar’s Ghost Wolf form, which could cause his playstyle to feel less active.
