Nigh unpickable in QM as a result.

Thought you meant he loses them if he had completed, still pickable imo (tho yes rare to have the correct prerequisites on qm) since it still gives value on each q hit.
200 extra dmg on something relatively easy to land (400 on stationary targets like buildings and ccd ppl) is not something to sneeze at, but the choice will always boil down to "can i survive without shield", "can i stack on this map", and "how long will it take for me to stack and can i contribute early game while stacking"

Lol. If you sub to some pros on twitch, you get access to their discord and there's a few of them that talk in there and will answer questions and the like. Nothing special or any decent contacts!
Yeah, if you have KT in a four man then it doesn't seem too difficult if you position carefully and only focus on completing it early game (pretty much only using trait for your q). Since you never know what anybody is doing in qm it's a crapshoot. Then again, picking KT in qm is always a fucking gamble. You run into a dive heavy team and you're probably going to have a bad time since you can't count on anybody protecting you.
Also pretty hard to pick in HL unless you're like last picking KT into a good KT draft. Typically someone will pick a hero that can dive you.
Also in HL the extra mana for wave clear/map control is even more valuable.
Yeah another weakness of convection is that it deincentavizes you from using de, and that if you are stuck laning for some reason you cant dw much either
You want it mainly on 2 lane maps or if your comp has the quicker rotation on maps like dk or spider, but even then you might find yourself needing the shield (which quick rotation maps are the best for stacking)

There's some spots like Braxxis or Infernal where I'd argue you should take it regardless, though, because it's more value for those objectives and they are easy places to stack. I def wouldn't take it against Valeera + Nova or something like that, though, sure.
You can see the pick rate jump from like ~54% in QM to like ~72% in HL though because of that. The random comps can be brutal for playing a mage period, let alone trying to do a quest.
Ah. Was hoping for that sweet Bakery intel pipeline.

15 globes to get the shield... takes like 6-7 minutes if you're trying at all.

It's not impossible to complete but you have to be conservative with your positioning and complete the quest early, before 10, while your team still has lots of safe ground for you to retreat to. It is, however, quite often a giant pain in the ass to try and complete. Once your team starts to lose lots of fortifications, and everyone's got ultimates, the safe ground becomes more amorphous and you're probably not going to complete Convection unless the game goes well past 20 and you pick Flamethrower.
That said I find there's more value in the Flamestrike talents, particularly at 1, 7 and 20, for solo queue versus the other choices.

for me it's usually going well getting stacks during laning but then I feel obligated to D E try to save someone or partake in a fight and end up dying and effectively don't have a lvl 1 talent anymore.

man wrecking ball is unintuitive to use. First game I threw most people right in front of my feet the stun talent at 16 stuns opponents being thrown as well and is pretty great, makes it effectively a point and click stun if you want that.
Decimate does weak ass damage.

Unless I'm missing something, 200/25=8.
I didn't do the math so I don't even know if it's a buff or a nerf, but they finally included abattoir in his kit, yay.
hell yeah
Yeah, it's a CC ult, not a damage one.

looking at it like a CC ult not sur ehow it stacks up to the taunt
Garrosh has a lot of peel and isolation in his kit, his Ult choices are two variants on additional forms.

Infinite chase and kiting. It's got some power to it, I guess we will see how that plays out once it's live

Looks like that leak that had Ana might be dead-on: A Sleep debuff has been added into the game behind the scenes. https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofth...datamine_potential_future_pve_brawl_sleep_cc/

Or it could me Mal'Ghanis the dreadlord! Pleeeeease be Mal'Ghanis
Yeah I really don't get how sleep would function. It's not just the community, it's also the way hots is designed / there are a lot of spells flying around and abilities which you don't have much control over once u leashed. Unless there's a damage threshold to it.
In dota they have a sleep mechanic where if you auto the sleeping target you in turn get slept (autos have to be done by the user since a slept target becomes untargetable by normal automatic proximity autos, u gotta click them), any dmg taken wakes the slept target up including spells. It's a point and click cc too
Id imagine itd just function like this without the sleep transfer, it works fine for dota (lower players often transfer sleep to themselves and higher lvls will use it for setup and cc), but im wary of it being a successful thing in hots. Def think adding it is a good idea tho
Hard not to imagine ana being op if she gets aoe heal reduction as a base spell, her kit seems like itd be awesome for a moba

Das "nightmare" which is different from sleep.
sleep is in Dota though, any damage will wake someone up from sleep.
Oh yeah naga siren has a massive aoe sleep
Sleep is def a moba friendly mechanic, just unsure how hots ppl will adapt
As long as they implement the whole proximity autos not being automatic on sleep targets thing i feel like itll pretty much match overwatch, in general i feel like all the overwatch heroes have been fun and have been implemented well
