It's rough when it happens. Been there plenty of times. I'm probably like 55/45 in the past weeks but some days were definitely the opposite or worse.
Fan prolonging the shit out of this game against Tempo with Malthael.
EDIT: That was everyone's complaints with Tempo Storm in a nutshell. Also, gat damn Fan the gawd.

Was there no way for tempo to defend there with malf and arthas?
Instead of both of them suiciding.

Same. Malf was halfway across the map when he died so he a good amount of time to clear catas and fury walked for a long time onto the core 1v5.
Psalm was amazing this game.

I think he's pretty good period, but yeah, he was filthy at times in that one. EDIT: He just owned with Medivh there at that bruiser camp.
Never thought I'd say this but I'm actually suffering a bit from Genji fatigue (like him in that game). I see Genji's wrecking teams in my games too. Not in quite the same way, but it makes it less exciting to me when I know random Joebob in diamond is still gonna end up 10/13/2 pretty often too...even after the nerfs.
I went on a 4 loss streak yesterday that started with the CG + 3 support stomping I took. I was Tyrande in 3, then Murky in 1. Didn't matter what I did. Now I've won 3 or 4 in a row as Murky. I really feel the non-mirror match thing makes the comps even worse as far as balanced teams go. Like there are even more obvious lopsided teams. I see a whole lot of all ranged + tank vs all dive + range and it's just brutal when it happens. The ranged group can only hope to trade even or get rekt unless the enemy is bad.

There's nothing at all in the matchmaker that would balance around this as far as I know. It only cares about supports and tanks, everything else it just fills up with whatever it can and tries to avoid mirror matches.

didn't it use to mirror stealthies and semi supports too?
Like you'd constantly face tass or Aba as medivh.
Yeah, it used to. I believe they took that stuff out with the mirror match change or just before, though. Typically you'd have specialist vs specialist, support vs support, tank vs tank, and bruiser vs bruiser in the old iteration where they labeled Zarya/Rag/Sonya as bruisers and so forth.

Oh, the best Karazhim is the red one build plus multi hits Q, feels weird to go DPS

I was not a fan of mirror matches all the time. I like they changed that at least.

idk why but I laughed my ass off at this. An astute observation
Not mirror matches, but at least mirroring roles.
What perplexes me is the bruiser role. It only seemed to be active in matchmaking for about a month before it was switched off without a word, and suddenly I'd find myself in quick matches where one team had D.Va and the other team nothing. They never commented on that at all.

Yep, Dva is a "tank".
Gazlow E build is so easy and fun, feels like playing a different game and let my team die alone

It probably needs to be 15. Unless you're really lucky with your team grouping correctly (won't happen 95% of the time) you won't finish this thing, if at all, until the very late game.

I had no idea caltrops was a good talent.

in QM I think so. When you can't depend on anyone to peel for you caltrops are your best bet.
Take that with a grain of salt as I still can't win with her, got her from 9 to 10 w/o winning once . Since the change in QM i'm constantly queuing into comps where the hall of storms is about as far as I can venture out w/o getting being at risk of being blown up.
Illidan, Valeera, Tracer eff you too.

sick vp into tour bus for sure.
Good job by Lagf though, pretty impressive teamfighting overall

yeah they played well, they played around the combo all game until the end lol, light at the end of the tunnel blinded them
at one point when they should have sieged top instead of backing bkid was at least two screens away from zuna
r20 was basically matador that series and lagf was bull

Sure I was thinking of it as anti dive mostly, there's also the 2nd half that once you completed the quest vault CD is halfed meaning much more uptime for Q if you go that build.
Nope, dva (like Sonya) is classed as a bruiser and it's possible to have a quick match where the enemy gets a Dva and you get nothing at all.
When they originally made the bruiser system, it matches a bruiser with a bruiser. But that stopped really rapidly, so you can end up with a bruiser on one team and no warrior at all on the other. Which is really fun when it's a level 20 Sonya, or artanis, or Dva.

I'm down for hanzo. Skillshot from across the map.
I never agreed with the hanzo hate memes.

I put her down after i got her master skin back on her release week, played her some last night and kept going like 14-0, 12-0, 15-0... Idk how you're supposed to kill her and her Pulse Bomb is ALWAYS up

Yep Tracer is a QM bully, but gets shut down in HL or TL if she's picked in the first rotation. As a late HL pick, she can go ham even without a tass to support her. In that sense, I think she's well balanced.
