Jaina masters is GOAT and she has 2 seasonal skins unavailable right now.
...yes. You fucking nerd
Also, I dont own Legacy of the Void, but wa curious about Alarak so was watching some cutscenes on youtube, there is a lady Protoss with a dual scythe-staff thing, seems prime for being put into HotS no?

Cassia is fun I get now what teams see in her. She trades very well with auto attackers and has good waveclear.

That's Vorazun. The biggest problem with putting her in is that she's a Dark Templar like Zeratul, so she'd be another stealth character. The smaller issue is that they'd need to create her kit from scratch because her abilities in Starcraft are all things Zeratul already has in HotS.
But if we're talking about female Protoss characters, there's also Rohana, and she'd be pretty unique.
Udall had some pretty nice hair too. I love the immediate "WALTER WHITE" from chat. Also, "when does your school for the gifted open?"
Do feel bad for Khroen, though. He had the best hair, now he's gonna just look like a skinny bald dude.

Hair grows back quickly, once it's a couple millimeter long it will look just fine.
I'm shaving my head every spring now, it's just so convenient. You just look like a nazi every now and then.

How can you not like those legs !
Doesn't matter how nice they are, the blue is borderline garish. I don't like any tints of that skin, really pales compared to the recent Ming ones. Her holiday skin is still her best IMO, but agree she could use a new one.
Other heroes who desperately need new skins or could have used them in 2.0:
Gul'dan (would take anything honestly)
Brightwing (Deathwing Brightwing preferably)
Cassia (just released but hers are awful)
Cho'gall (surprise us)
ETC (have never liked any of his either)
Greymane (ditto, they aren't great, no real variety unless you like USAUSAUSA)
TLV (so many options here and they haven't had a new skin since release)
Morales (when it comes to an argument about who has the worst skins in the game, when you bring up Morales her opponent is now in there with the champ)
Probius (mainly just need his skins fixed so his structures match the tint)
Rehgar (no new skins since the very first holiday skins...been a looooong time. And no the Voidclaw tint doesn't count.)
Zagara (save us from the desert queen Blizz)
Also Stitches, Tyrande, and Nova need way more skins. They don't have enough yet, clearly.

Looks like auriel
I can't. I'll give you three guesses why. =
Alur go ahead and uninstall the game right now. Morales?
Metroid Morales?
Valentine's Morales?
u suck!
you dont need to fight to soak, just be near. even behind a wall

Look up the word garish in the dictionary. Should be a picture of both of those skins there. The first would be ok maybe but not on that model.

So I just picked this up (like everyone else), and I am finding I really like Falstad. He seems really strong to me. Is he as good as I imagine, and if so, does he have many bad maps?
I also like the feel of Lunara, Cassia, and Kerrigan. How are they?

Split and soak until you have play again then you flank the backline with triple vikings in teamfights.
What your teammates do is more important as they should roam as 4 getting kills while you get to soak passively. They should also be stalling objectives as long as possible w/o dying to enable you to get ahead in XP.
Don't be afraid to fight, triple vikings add up to some of the highest Auto Attack damage and Olaf is devastating with his stun.
If you take bribe you can have a viking invade enemy easycamps (giants).
On large maps you can sneak channeled objectives.

Varian could use some decent skins too, his are all U G L Y.
The Valentines Morales skin is the definition of a disgusting mess.

Awesome. Watched a few video guides and they're already super helpful.
I don't like using support characters in these types of games because 9 times out of 10 the person I'm running a lane with abandons me against 2 heroes and I get killed no matter how much I try to hang back. Right now I prefer using a beefier hero with survivability that can also do some damage.

Lunara is a lot of fun *if* you can trust your tanks to do their jobs. She is incredibly, hilariously fragile, so you really need someone to give you cover. With that said, it can be incredibly satisfying to watch someone run away under a bunch of poison stacks, knowing they're already dead and there's nothing they can do to stop it.
Kerrigan is fun, but a bit of a one-trick pony with her combo. She's also sort of stuck in a "other characters can do almost everything she can, but a bit better" place right now. Also, Melee assassins can be kind of risky for newer players because you have to get in there, and with their reduced health pools you get punished for misplays more than being slightly out of position as a warrior, or support, or whatever. Kerrigan does get shields which help her a bit with that... but if you jump in too early, or over-extend, or end up out of position you're going to get punished.
Thanks and I find it not to be a skill to choose I seem to get to like 17 and game is over -.-

Thanks for the help! I play league a bit too (newer to that as well, but not nearly as much) so I typically understand how to position in fights, even if I don't always do it right.
Lunara definitely is like you said. It kind of feels like she requires two tanks sometimes. Played a qm with a solo diablo and no other CC against Butcher/Valeera and after a certain point I was just not able to play the game, haha
they are fabulous and you know it!
I don't remember if her nerfs went through in the last patch but you should be running DPS Lili right now.
Just anti-country music man. When you talk like me and snarky mfers like Milly make fun of you daily for it, you have to reject your upbringing.
The red and purple tints of master Varian are good IMO. They have mounts that correspond. Would like to see him get a better skin than that crappy Lo'Gosh skin though.
About as fabulous as a QM game where the opposing team is Murky, Chromie, Azmodan, Valeera, and Varian.

one and done
4-1 with fellow Gaffer Prelude, that sure was fun. This last Hanamura game was fantastic, very close.
Also got Muradin to 10 and he's a ton of fun. He's no Artanis tho :3
Edit: I assume Muradin's terrible mana issues are "a thing" and not just me being an idiot?

I'd take Nascar talk over Kanye any day.
This explains everything.
But what about the kind of folks who attend NASCAR events and activities eh?
I thank you.
First I was the thread sheriff. Now I'm the threadneck. Thanks Milly.

I have a cursory interest in Soccer, I don't think I'm being judged for hooligans' behaviour.
Blizz reportedly asking for a 20m buy in for their overwatch league with no profit sharing until 2021, get 25% cut in event of a team selling their spot 🤔🤔🤔
According to the article in comparison a spot in lcs can run ~1.8m
