Yerp. You can't play her like a melee assasin, you kinda have to play just like you would with nova. Wait for opportunities to secure kills on the squishies, follow up on your teams CCs.

Hotslogs says I'm diamond QM (I don't upload anything, just whatever happens to get there) and I still only see people do this maybe half the time. I type back and ping defend on the fort/keep but people still insist on standing right in front of the gate and dying instantly.
Yup.

Just went 10 8 and 1 and highest hero damage with Valeera and my teammate threatened to ddos attack me. Because I am supposed to stay in one lane at all times.

No Tomorrow got zero value out of mosh that game.

LoL players still trying out HotS. Another reason I don't QM.
Or just report him and forget about it.

I did. Just annoyed him for the remainder of the match by calling him pro and asking for his autograph. Then reported him. He did however praise the jaina with 10 deaths as the only good player on the team. Idk must be bizarro or something.
What? Like, it's been out forever now. I don't really see how this is even a valid statement, but okay...

Really getting back into HotS right now, loving the newish heroes like Rag and Samuro. The brawls and some new maps like the Zerg map are amazing. Very intelligent updates to the game thus far. Can't wait to play this more, always loved this game.

Ha, ha, what?
Apparently double abathur should be avoided as there are some weird bugs that can occur that can permanently take someone out of the game. Something to do with the engine not being able to cope with two clones at once...
That was awesome, but BeGenius really was in a rough spot. Yolo core rush was their best bet to win, but it is pretty hilarious seeing Illidan solo core 100 to 0.
Too easy to take a boss, it's hard to defend and there's also two. Too many nukes too.
I "like" the map as well, but it needs some rework. Your whole team can be afk for the first half of the game and still win in the next few minutes if you win a single team fight.

This is the case with every map. Comeback mechanics. 6.5/10
I also catched the end of that game. They even managed a team wipe defending 4v5 just to add insult to injury.
No, there aren't as many objectives up at the same time on the other maps.
Trik has HGC exposure that is boosting his viewership I think. Chu8 decided to bow out of HGC and focus only on his streaming but it'll probably hurt him in the long run. Although his numbers are still healthy really. Funny thing that his team is doing so great right now in NA.

Heavily requested feature, but its something that would require re-working the entire engine, and they've said they'd rather focus on adding new features than to undertake such a big task as to fix their replay system. Although they have taken strides to improve it... if you can believe it actually used to be worse.
I'd say a better replay system and spectating friends are in my top 2 or 3 most requested additions to the game at this point.

Any Valeera that's in plain view for the other team on the map for any length of time, doing something like pushing a lane, is probably pretty shit.

Deterministic lockstep. It's the legacy of Starcraft 2's engine. It allowed for rapid and inexpensive prototyping (for what was initially a SCII arcade game/map for Heart of the Swarm) and for the HotS team to focus on content creation but also provided us with the worst re-connect state out of any MOBA ever.
The more content and features they pile on, the less likely they'll address such a core issue with their game engine in the foreseeable future. Arguably they're so far past the point of no return and it will likely never be changed.
Edit: For funsies I've been playing my Shitty Uther since it's super late-night gong-show Quick Match.
1. Fist of Justice
4. Boundless Conviction
7. Holy Fire
10. Divine Storm
13. Holy Shock
16. Gathering Radiance
20. Divine Hurricane
Right click, stuns and nukes ahoy. It's not a good build if you want to, you know, heal your teammates, but it's fun as fuck deleting Valeera's in these uncoordinated matches with this build.
