It does not.
Also, Artanis is still awesome and I love him, but deffinately not a QM warrior. For whatever reason people seem to ignore swaps more than Stiches hooks. Im almost 10 on him and ill be glad to "move on" to a new project.
Plus they need to beat ancestral

I personally see no benefits to adding a map rotation to quick match, just makes the game that much less interesting for me. I can understand if you want to avoid the weaker maps in ranked play, makes sense to mimic HGC or even do a HL specific rotation if you want, but if I just want to hop in and play some meaningless QM games, how is limiting the content beneficial?
The vocal minority are the ones whining now.
A map rotation needs to be implemented because as more and more maps come into the game the sheer number is going to get overwhelming.
When the game started there were 5. Once we got to 9+ the issues started becoming apparent, especially w/ new players.

Yeah they already had to make Cursed Hollow a certainty for now players dropping more than a dozen maps on those at once is a deterrent.
Heck I've had something like 5 games total on Hanamura, I still have no consensus how to play that map.

Yup. It's incredibly difficult to learn a map when you can't reliably play repeat game on them.
I think the map pool for ranked needs to be shrunk further, with the bad maps completely cut. Just rotate every week.

Different.
Samuro was a unique depiction of a Samurai arquetype mixed ninja like skills. so yeah, totally not a ninja but a Samurai/Ninja

They copied Samuro's kit from Warcraft 3 IIRC, never played that game much though.
Nope, she has Vanish as her D. She's a WoW Rogue. She can go stealth permanently after using it, but can't stealth while mounted.wait, Val doesnt have perma stealth?
How can she contest stuff in stealth then? Do you just mean her stealth has to be activated?

wait, Val doesnt have perma stealth?
She does, before attacking or performing an action. valeera even have an ultimate to stay stealth while attacking
Yeah, it's instant-activatable, but it has a 8s cooldown once it pops.

Kenma sucks and Zuna is a bad shotcaller
They were great (NA great) once, but several of their players don't play the game outside of scrims and arguably actively dislike it. Also they have the worst player in NA on their team by a long shot and he is in an important role.

Zul Jin is pretty OP, can destroy tanks pretty fast, I cant imagine how broken he was at release

He's had a really high win rate for quite awhile now, don't think he's ever been OP though. Obvious counters and ways to completely shut him down.

Let's not forget that Probius is the highest winrate hero right now, or he was. Got edged out by Anub.
Kenma is that guy to join a fight late from behind the enemy team only to do shit all and die.

stop split pushing for no reason
stop only split pushing just because you are zagara or gazlowe or whatever the fuck.
stop chasing.
no, seriously, stop chasing.
stop going 1v4.
stop hesitating between retreating or not, comit to running away.
if you are running, stop trying to save people. youll just both end up dead, and he was probably peeling for you in the first place.

I don't get how the MVP thing works in this game, my Friend gets twice as many takedowns, twice as much siege damage, more hero damage, twice as many role points AND more XP contribution than me but I still get MVP over him? Makes 0 sense.
it also takes deaths into account
Familienoberhauptvogel

as others mentioned it favours participation and deaths over pretty much anything.
That sick zagara flank.
I think kenma is like the epitome of a HL zagara picker, except only he does it in HGC. Hopefully they bench him.
Seriously, Jake can ruin a show like none other.
After getting fed up with the Garrett/Kyle ballwash fest and Kyle thinking he's such higher intellect than others, THH quickly rose back up to my #2 spot after adding Bakery and Zoia.
But Jesus Christ.
I typically like Jake, but he took it to a whole new level this episode.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. Let these two dudes talk and stop interrupting them about your fucking tournament. I remember the days when he would tell OTHERS to mute their mic if they were going to talk, but this motherfucker loads the game up and clicks the entire time then zones out and can't hold a conversation. He's such a fucking dork, and a terrible streamer, too. I asked him if Dva was OP and the motherfucker just glosses over it to answer some dumbass question the other day. He really is fully of himself.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that as soon as someone starts talking he's stopped paying attention and started to fuck with the overlay and special effects which interrupts the person talking. Jake needs to be punched in face so hard.
He's at the top because the current map rotation favors heavily point control heroes which he's the best at right now.
is probius + gaz a control point nightmare? so much clutter shooting u.

Jake is the worst host.
Probius blows you up while Gaz tickles.
Nice little 3 win streak to cap of Artanis at 10 (with some nice swaps too), to conclude that I love him but will probably not use him much in solo queue QM. Deffinately goes in the favorites column tho.
Not sure who next, after 3 warriors in a row, maybe Jaina? I never liked her back in the day. Or I could take a break from my level 10 project and play 1 game on each of my old high level favorites, just to see how I feel about them these days.
And those would be Valla, Li Li, Nazeebo, Vikings, Azmo, Zag, Uther, Gaz, Butcher, who are all 11+ from my previous stint.

I've been on a real Jaina kick lately. Try her Q build out.
Will do. Just did a Valla one, went with seeking arrow (or whatever its called) build, still love her, but no idea what the current build hotness is.
Also noticed that I got like 1/4 of the xp bar even at lvl 15, so yeah those "gold" levels are much faster now, thats awesome.
Heiden#2319 is that one of you peeps or one of the randoms that was super impressed with my Artanis swaps? :3
Played Xul tonight for the first time since back when he was OpieOP on release. Was fun in a micro focused sort of way.
I picked him because I checked the email I use for my account for the first time in forever and had an invite to the Diablo 3 Necromancer beta test. I didn't even know they did betas like that for Diablo.
