Unranked draft is the route I've been going mostly. Games have been pretty solid for me since 2.0 launched.
Unranked draft should save you from a good portion of it. Like with any mode, if you get stuck in the lower leagues it can be ugly regardless, but you'll miss most of the OW AFKers/griefers and the like in unranked at least. And should get halfway decent comps most of the time.
Yeah, the one thing ITN has hands down is production and presentation. Garrett is on it. CORE's is better too, because even though Scott is kind of out in left field and out of the loop he does facilitate good conversation.
It's all about mentality.
I mean, some people approach QM as the fun, laid back mode where you just try to learn stuff. Others take it more serious. Personally, no matter the mode I treat it the same. I definitely don't queue up in QM wanting to win less, if you know what I mean. I don't typically get toxic with anyone in any mode without someone else stirring the poop first with some snark or BM in chat (though I certainly have in the past at times), but for others a misplay or two just sets them off. Then there's people like the one you described, who don't like to be questioned or guided whether they are right or wrong.
Best thing to do is mute, report, likely eat the loss and hope the next one is better. Once dudes like that Samuro start down that path there's really nothing you can do but hold on for the ride til the match is over.

what a badly transcribed article.
The numbers are all out of whack. At the top it says Bunnyhop slows 40% down below it says 60%. The other ult lowers the CD by 8 or 5 seconds.

Self destruct on E.............
Unranked seems like a good idea, I've never actually tried it.
But since I was sick and tired of my team getting owned by the omnipresent (triple-tapping) Nova, I went Tassadar to help them see her and, of course, that was the only time Nova was on my side, with another Tassadar on the enemy team, but we still won and even stomped this time.
I've only used him in vs AI in the last couple of days, so this was the first time I was against real people, and he seems pretty strong, I kinda like him. The quested up AA damage seems also respectable.

She gets a dash on 16.
Her Talents look solid, much better than Genji's
Alarak and Tyrande rework !? Blizz plz
Quite puzzled at the Lili nerf ... I mean sure I was bullying both a Varian and a Valla out of a lane by myself but no need for this right ... right ?

Wow, they're really trying some new stuff - baking a quest right into Tyrande's base W.
A) Alarak is one of the lowest winrate heroes across the board
B) He had very little talent diversity
C) Sadism just wasn't a particularly 'fun' trait.
D) Reworks aren't always buffs.

I honestly forgot, but my excuse is that it's technically different as it's a quest for his trait, not one of his abilities
Edit - also, essentially baking in primal aggression for Dehaka is sweet. That was always such a hard talent to pass up.
A good alarak (and most seem decent) is disgustingly gross as is.

Man I liked Shadowstalk, what is that new version supposed to do make her a single target assassin?
wtf

Tyrande sounds OP.
not sure about Shooting Star but it sounds fun. Double support with Medic and stimdrone her for some fun.

He was/is a QM pubstomper, will agree with Milly on that. It might not show in the winrate similar to Li-Ming and the like, but him queued into some of the shit comps you get in QM was as bad as Varian versus no real tank at times.
That said, I hope the rework makes him a little less punishing or at least less one note.

I am surprised Dva looks the same in HOTS , Blizzard nailed her skills perfectly , I hope using her guns while dashing on mech mode is a talent
I hope she takes a good bunch of time to get her E up, it would be a massacre on choke points

Either quickly burn the clones or ignore them and kill Samuro, don't let him wreck your squishies. If the behaviour doesn't reveal it, clones have half the health so take "double" the damage (their healthbar imitates real samuro)
Samuro is only completely invisible for a second when he activates windwalker afterwards he'll shimmer and distort the ground beneath him. It takes getting used to but you can spot stealthies in motion.

Why nerf his pylons ? I rarely see Sondius
Glad I'm not the only that zoned out after a while reading his changes. Looks like this will need to be figured out on the field. For such a badass character I'm a little sad that I can't find good art to pull from and make a decent avatar.
His pylon R plus turret and W more or less lock down any objective. IMO they are too durable with talent.
Even if your place them poorly, you rarely get punished for it since they are so resilient, unless you literally place it in front of them.

I'll let someone else much smarter than me determine "the build" and go from there. I do like Alarak, but I'm one of those dragging his win rate down I'm sure. When you pull off a great telekinesis combo though. So good.
Should be able to after getting the hang of how his w controls, his combo is way easier than kerrigans which can be outplayed, it's instant, so it's more knowing when to hold onto it for more value and knowing when to use the abilities separately.
The trickiness of him is w/ his w plays but in the beginning all you need to know is how to combo w/ w and mobility with alt-w, afterwards you can try crazier stuff like w'ing you and the melee on top of you backwards
