This game just now... We had a Varian that only spoke russian in chat even though he was solo queuing and nobody else on our team was russian, went off by himself a lot and then after we wiped the enemy team with their core at 10% (around 30 minutes into the game) he ACTUALLY went off to get camps. What's even weirder is that we already had two camps coming to their core. I want to assume he was just trolling but I'm honestly not sure.

I didn't wanna leave the area because we had 3 nukes sitting in the middle of the map, with those teammates you never know, they could have even won with a 10% core against 100%.

Zarya is my new favorite tank. She has incredible utility with the speed boost on shields (and cleanse later) plus everyone always seems to underestimate her damage. Did 90k hero and 110k siege in a match the other day (next best had like 55 and 80). I'm pretty much at 75% energy for most of the match. I grab Expulsion zone ultimate and use it defensively or to cut off enemy retreats from team fights.
I feel I save more lives playing as Zarya than I ever have playing as support.

Tough to say considering he has 3 different builds (AA/Q/W).
His AA build is the top winrate right now and seems to be the most popular. At 7 you'll still want Boomerang.

Why did I wait so long to buy Auriel? She's amazing!

Auriel is pretty fun when you learn to land her Q and E, so fun

I got Cassia in a box and I don't get her? She has no escape, is squishy as hell, so what makes her tick? I tried 3 different builds and did distinctly... average, but the whole time I was thinking "man if I was playing Li Ming/Valeera/any other assassin I'd be doing twice as well"

She's just an anti AA assassin.

KT still gotta be the best aoe assassin.
Zagara was my favorite hero before they reworked her talents. Now, for the life of me, I cant play her right. I always built her for damage before, and she was uncontested in the early game. Now, I keep trying to play her the old way. Needless to say I fail each time.
Plus I reallllly miss her old creep build.
Oh my b i meant like ranged sustained, tho i guess guldan is that

You know what bothers me about Zagara?
Creep doesn't heal her. That's a Starcraft staple for the Zerg. Creep should give her some passive regen. I don't care if it's small, it's just a flavor issue of mine.

She's a weird one, slightly under powered I think but she can do a ton of damage. You need to always be moving to take advantage of her trait to keep from being rekt. Pretty much never use Fend unless you're sure you will get a kill. Poke at people with her AAs and use that dumb OP chargedstrikes talent at 1 to do massive AOE damage in team fights.
They changed it to move speed to make her less obnoxious in lane.

Yeah this is doing me in too, her range is absolutely pathetic. At her effective range she gets melted easily by just about anything, and if she gets focused down she's dead in half a second. She seems useful in ridiculously specific circumstances and in those circumstances ONLY.

You take 60% less damage from their AAs, you run at them and don't stop moving and you win 10 times out of 10
How was she different before? I played her for the first time only recently.
I'm having pretty good results with the build I'm using, high hero damage too.
Increased banelings range, splash on aa, more banelings, nydus (even without the mobility, having a portable fountain every time you need it is so good), creep gives armor, mutalisk, and nydus again.

Obviously it's up to you to decide when it's safe to go in, she wins against Valla, raynor and zuljin every time ez if you play it right. If you can't keep her trait up then don't bother playing her because it's her only chance against other ranged auto attackers.

The blind is such a poop ability. Blinds do so little in the current meta with ability damage flying all over.

Creep healed her before the rework, I dunno the idea of remove most of Talon skills into a one single pasive

you guys should play with NA GAF some time. I'll add you.
Was wondering why my inputs were so laggy in this AI game, only to discover I was put on an Australia server even though I'm in California. Never been knowingly put onto a non-US server before.
Not really the optimal condition to play Genji for the first time.
...he's pretty fuckin' fun tho.

That was way too late for me but next time I'll join you.

HOTS over the weekend is so bad.
Hots on EU servers is so frustrating. I appreciate everyone wants to speak in their native tongue, but EU servers at times are so difficult to communicate and the insta-hate when someone isn't the same nation as you is immense.
I'd go play on the US servers, but all those lovely things I have on EU server
