Everything is a magnet for toxicity. No worse then "pick auriel and I'll swap you" .... "psych!"

He wasn't in the past.
They brought on Zaelia in part because he has a great tracer as did Athero who he repalced.

Yeah but you're not raging at a teammate when you're blaming the matchmaker.
generally but Mene has been playing tass for dig on a semi regular basis.
personally i dont think blind pick or swaps would increase toxicity meaningfully but i guess id be down w/ any decision that privileges toxicity as a consideration
like a lot of players call for voice chat in hero league and that sounds awful to me
as a team dig has been very good w/ roles, zaelia/jpl combo on front line, flex snitch/mene, it just feels pretty ideal to have this kind of pool w/ the amount of synergy

I don't think those would meaningfully increase toxicity either but first come first served would be terrible

Experts got much less riding on this they are already locked.
expert need to take advantage of dbl global at 10, fighting that comp with the comp they have will be rough
dang nt expert, that draft was just too much in favor of liquid and this map, they still played really well though
mosh was an incredibly silly pick, but i can see how they might have felt like stage dive was redundant with the comp they had
the etc pick in general was suspect

now Roll 20 needs a 3-0 or I'll just skip the event.
that's a pretty nice buff
another example of a change made straight up to make players feel better with no real thought towards balance imo, I've never had issues with brew cancelling or feeling bad that i gott cc'd right when i started channeling, like all those things seemed pretty fair to me
it means you can insta d->w for a slow which is cool

oh i assumed there was a cooldown in between brews?
would be cool if he were rebalanced so he could brewstep
like if im reading correctly it just means when hes getting his drink on the first 25 is instant
dread reading super hard into nothing w/r/t solo stitches and solo dehaka, wut a surprise
im glad sonya is showing up more even though it's over a month late

Yea I mm pretty sure you're reading it right. But it means you don't have to stop and drink you can continue to chase instead of stopping to drink.
It also changes the priority of his lvl 4 talents too maybe.

theres is but it's still a significant buff if you just need brew for that 1 more Q you can d q now if you don't take the lvl 4.
IIRC there's also a keg quest at 4 that's fairly decent.

yeah all the quests there are pretty decent
kinda enjoy nt trying to win solo q xul style, but i feel like they are learning that dehaka is still a much better waveclearer than xul lol
malth probably too ass now to pick in competitive i think, tho he is playing against a bunch of counters this game to be fair
something to consider w/ the lvl 4 insta q thing is that it puts your d on cd, but yeah it might be worth it for sure to pick another talent now

WHERE HAS THIS ROLL 20 BEEN THE LAST 5 WEEKS
Familienoberhauptvogel

isn't the burning rage variant also there?
D Q isn't something you'll want to constantly be doing but it enables a last ditch effort to secure a kill or interrupt a channel.
yeah i was just thinking id prob only insta dq to escape, i do it now with the talent for dmg/positioning but I still usually want to wait a bit so i can followup with w e. if i can just dw for an escape id prob try to see if i can make that work before i switch talents since i like the dmg on q so much

For solo queue definitely a fringe case but in competitive you also body block afterwards and can depend on your team to follow up.

Ehhhh they seem pretty similar to me. Ridiculous throws all over the place
RIP Dig's international event run. Was impressive, but inevitable that it'd end at some point with all the changes they continually make to so many aspects of the team.

right, which is why the lvl4 q talent is usually default if they dont need the extra waveclear in the solo lane, it lets him q and still have his d up
also you prob dont mean it this way but you can def count on your team to follow up in solo q imo as long as the q was good
their comp was so dependent on greymane being up, equinox def shit the bed that game
i didnt catch the draft but im having a pretty hard time reconciling this nt comp
like i guess that it's a burst comp for resets, but r20 has to mess up hard to fall victim to the diablo/tyrande engage and multiple shrine spawns kinda means they have to force hard,and on top of that the # of viable targets is low

sooooo freedom has to 3-0 tempo right?

I really like how Tyrande has an innate quest tied to one of her abilities. I wish more characters had them - hell, give every ability an innate quest. I'm generally not a fan of them as talents.

You definitely can't deep your team will react in time to you jumping in with trait being down into potentially dangerous situations. It's a recipe for disaster.
Im still generally against quests (tho id be fine if it was an "everyone has their own quest they can do baseline" type of deal), but i feel like the endorphin rush i get when the quest sound ticks trumps everything in the end
Yeah for sure, you have to read what ur team is thinking first

Quests is a cool way to have actual carry heroes in the game.
Like when you complete that Guldan E quest or Alarak Q quest (final tier), you feel like a god with that power boost.
It's giving up early game power spike for a bigger power spike later on and it's still related to you manually getting it versus automatically getting it via level ups.

Is there anything better than the quest noise going off on Tychus' In The Rhythm? Nope. I refuse to pick other talents in the tier for that very reason (also it's the best but still)
Quests are HOTS answer to items. It's a way to improve your hero over the course of the game and work towards a big power spike, wonderful addition. All heroes need some quests added to their talent trees

I like quests I just hope theybsobt overdo it. Genji has like 2 quests while 1 is close to a regular talent. That's a fine baseline for heroes.
When heroes have quests one every tier it feels a bit overkill.

Decent but there's better options.

Valeera is fun for me. Reminds me quite a bit of playing rogue in WOW. Definitely a fun character with a couple ways to build talents. Definitely a flexible character having the 3 openers. A 2.5 second silence from level 1 is also pretty unique.

I hope Blizzard is sincere with their claims that they want to fix stealth heroes. I'd love to hear what ideas they have to make them more relevant and less annoying to play with/against. Removing what makes them toxic (instant blow up, no team fight potential outside of void prison, no lane presence) while keeping making them all viable is going to be very difficult

Stealthies don't need fixing and Zeratul has decent waveclear too.
At most they should look at unrevealable as Samuro and Valeera can nearly always escape due to being truly invisible.
I'm constantly amazed how easy hikes are with Valeera. Once you get smokebomb you're almost impossible to be punished.
