Hey- for that guy whose friend was getting into the game- Gamestop has marked down the HOTS starter pack to $8. Definitely grab it at that price. http://m.gamestop.com/product/pc/games/heroes-of-the-storm-starter-pack/121762
The Ronin Zeratul code inside also unlocks Zeratul (goof on Blizzard's part), so you actually have two Zeratul codes inside the package as well.

Was deconfirmed by Browder last summer, so even if he's in development, he's a ways off.
Where was this seen?
Edit: NM, found it
That was last summer though. These are newly recorded lines for the Azmodunk skin.
At least Malthael is on Dustin's short list!

Those Azmodunk audio files are nuts. I'm struggling on whether or not to actually spend money on the game.
Brown Horse represent.
Yea. Wondering if it makes nexus blades worth it or not. Probably still better to get lvl 20 demon form.
I just hope neither of them end up being warriors. Supposedly Malthael was supposed to have Leoric's kit way back when. Never knew of that until I heard it on a podcast this week.
Synergy is nice w/ it but id personally go for cc reduc every time
From what I know of Imperius isn't he almost guaranteed to be a bruiser/warrior, though?
I'm with you, however. I want more assassins
and supports huehue
I'm not sure. We need an angelic support.
And the attack speed is only at 20 now
Yep. Learned that thanks to ARAM. Either warrior or the off chance of support
They really, really need to make ARAM it's own game mode. It's so much fun but doing it like this through custom games has a ton of issues.
1) Tassadar, TLV, Sonya, Abathur - enough said. Unfun heroes, and unviable in their roles. There's a reason TLV and Abathur are not in Arena mode, and they shouldn't be here either.
2) Party leader almost always being tank really sucks for them.
3) Having to explain to people what ARAM is every game is silly, and not fair to the community.
SMITE has a lower population and like, 10 different games modes. HotS can afford to have 3 for solo players...

All those heroes you listed are fine for ARAM. Tassadar and Sonya especially are a-okay. Vikings has to play pretty passively, but it's not an instant loss. Neither is Abathur, but agree to disagree I guess.
ARAM isn't an official mode and probably never will be thanks to arena. Why exactly would they explain it? If they wanted an actual ARAM, it'd be there with matchmaking, I'd assume.
You're kinda lttp to these issues, but that's okay I guess.

LMAO, the toxicity in EU HL right now. bkb dropping the r word on teammates. I should be surprised but I'm not. Atheroangel and Bakery troll picking and Athero instigating in chat. WE'RE ALL THE SAME.
Also re: ARAM, yeah, for reals. Welcome to 3 months ago on most of those complaints. When we were running GAF groups we were all in here bitching about similar things.
I've never really had an issue with Sonya. brian swears by Tassadar in ARAM. I'm not a huge fan, but don't think he's auto loss unless you get certain healers on the opposition. I differ with Milly on TLV and Abathur, though to his credit Milly has won more than a few games on both in ARAM despite never playing them in the "real" modes.

I don't think either are auto-loss, I just find them deeply unfun because they just aren't fully capable of doing the role properly most of the time. When I win with them it feels like it's because the enemy team is simply worse than ours skill wise. I don't think any hero is an instant loss, I just don't think some heroes fit (either because of how they play or because of the fact they still aren't in the damn correct roles).
And yeah, fully acknowledge you guys are months ahead of me - just slightly frustrating because I think I've played more HotS in the last few days on the PTR in ARAM games than i have in *months*. It's the perfect type of mode to enjoy HotS, and I think blizzard are making their typical stupid mistake of trying to do something "their way" and taking forever to do it when there's already good alternatives out there. I actually think Arena mode doesn't even sounds as much fun as ARAM because arena mode doesn't have talents at all (which still strikes me as stupid).

I agree they should make it a real thing with a real queue. I think it'd be insanely popular. I'd bet they will do that eventually, but who knows when.
I've kinda had my fill of it though. We literally played it to death for a month straight and then a few of the others kept going for another month after that. I'd get back into it if it was a real mode, but on live servers it's mostly dwindled down to the same 100-200 people playing each day. Early on there were a ton of people coming in and out.
I'm just glad I'll be able to play ranked on a semi-fair playing field now as that's what we've always wanted to play, but after getting r1 it seemed pointless when on any given patch it was RNG as-to who got first pick (and whether your team picked the right heroes if they did).
EDIT: I have 12,790 gold and 3 dailies to complete on PTR...and can't ever use any of it. Kinda dumb. Should be able to transfer it at half-rate or something.
EDITx2: Holy sweet mother of Blizzard. The teams on PTR are so bad. I am now like 2-7 with Dehaka. I've had 3 games where there has been a Tychus or Sylv who have just laned in one lane all game...like why even get on PTR to do that?

I basically only know of one rule that changes in ARAM which is "yes you can heal at core after keep is down" or "no you can't"
It's fucking bullshit.
So for a little backstory, I messaged all the mods individually (because I didn't see the message all button before I was halfway through the messages) asking if it was OKAY if I could post the screenshot that Dread ate the funyuns. 2 mods replied quickly, saying it was a-okay, and a joke. 1 said he wanted another form of "proof", which I'm not sure what else you'd want? Alur's screenshot?
In comes Starryeyed. Accuses me of "trying to be sneaky" by not messaging all the mods at once, and going on to basically say it was a shitpost. The post itself had 7 comments and 40~ upvotes within an hour. But it lacked substance. Why the fuck do you have 7~ mods if ONE gets the make all the calls? I've seen worse shitposting on that subreddit that gets through on a daily basis, but that wasn't cool guize!

These are the guys that decided it was smart to not allow image/gif posts directly, while it's true those smother serious discussion threads the growth of the subreddit plummeted because of thät policy.
That's what we were talking about earlier. Not sure if that was a good call or bad honesty.
This stuff tonight, though...the guy got pretty righteous about it from what I saw of his messages to Milly. He definitely felt Milly was trying to give him the runaround somehow despite no one else really having an issue.

Just flat out tell him that's between him and his mods to settle. Giving people like the time of day is just a waste of it.
