Oh yeah for sure, the team with the advantage has no reason to risk a fight, which is why the map design is a bit booty. But a team with lvl advantage should never lose the advantage unless they pick a bad fight or have an awful comp with no waveclear or global

dva is such garbage now. wow.
Ya the number tweak nerfs sent her down into the absolute bottom of win rates. Made no sense at the time, and continues to make no sense. Nerfing mech damage and HP when you already neutered all of her good talents... just stupid. She wasn’t even a top WR hero at the time.

This brawl is always amazing, who doesn't love 35 minutes games?


Some pretty good skins there, a lot of them should be epic or less. Great mounts too.

Fuckin never. Seems like.

Damn. That sucks. I figured you'd be back by now. =/

Hey guys we forgot about halloween ... what should we do for skins !? Go full tf2 breh it's cool just give'em hats and they'll gobble that stuff up.

Don't mind Kio he hates the game now.
not even joking RIP Kio

He does have a point, though. That BW skin and Cho'Gall skin are even more low effort than all the horse re-skins. Why not actual Halloween costumes and not just "hats"? Also who the hell is playing Chromie so much for her to get skins so often?

Joker Junkrat base skin reminds me of Injustice 2 Joker a bit.

I still haven't uninstalled that
dumpster fire of a
game
yet
.

I'll keep simmering off in my corner and try again later. A miracle could happen and the QM matchmaker could stop throwing every nasty comp with the kitchen sink at us.

Like someone else told you it REALLY doesn't take off until the season is almost over unless you have a dedicated group

There's only like 4 euros I know in this thread that actively play/post and that's: Famalie, Maleduct, Prelude and Rhaknar
 

Rhaknar

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
and 2 of those dont play TL/HL

Graymne skin is amazing, apparently sucked out all the skin budget for holloween because the rest are super uninspired. Valeera is good tho.

Last year we got two skins right? We are getting two real new ones again, along with a ton of silly half-assed ones too, I’m ok with that.

What? Diablo is one of the only warriors in the game that can hard carry a game by himself
Not if most of the team is trash. On BHB I had a split pusher Tassadar, it was almost as if he was intentionally avoiding the team, I'm not sure if he actually had a minimap on his screen.
On IS I had a solo camper BW, without bribe, and she died every single time to Nova just as the obj was about to begin.

I forgot it's a weekend, though. It's like playing with some bots on the team, it's not 100% Diablo's fault. I had abysmal games with Nazeebo too just now and, surprisingly, excellent games with Dehaka.

Well in that case it’s not Diablo’s fault is it? Diablo is extreeeeemely strong, not playing him cuz your teammates sucked in a game is no good reason at all.

Because he requires follow up, so it's pretty frustrating making sick plays with no one getting kills.

I really don’t see it that way. Diablo can instantly kill anyone by himself at 13.

Not sure if you are someone who watches much Twitch, but check out realbambam. He’s a Diablo 1 trick GM player. He absolutely destroys on that hero and it’s fun to watch.

I won a game on Johanna, unbelievable. We got the first dragon in the game at lv20, it was a pretty interesting match. Johanna, Stitches, Gaz, Zul'jin, Aba vs Genji, Jaina, Varian, Tyrande, Garrosh.

I follow him, but 90% of the time I've seen him through Mewn or Dunk's stream.

Diablo can't kill anyone by himself, even if you hit 2 stuns you only have a shitty aoe and your auto attacks, you're not gonna 100% them with the enemy watching. But if I pull in a healer and bodyblock him as he tries to escape and my team doesn't focus him, yeah, that's the frustrating part.

This is just wrong, with the 13 quest completed post 16 w/ Domination, you can/will kill just about anyone in the game with wall stun > flip > wall stun.

What warriors are you playing that can kill someone by themselves faster than Diablo? I need to get on that train.

I was surprised they went with Leoric over Malthael.
Nah, that makes sense. But w/ solo damage Gul'Dan you are 100% all in on getting picks w/ Horrify because you will not have any damage. (Was Leoric 5th pick? If so they shoulda just gone with another source of disruption, killing Auriel needed to be the focus.)

Double Tank/Double Support/DPS has generally been doing really, really badly.

It's just not enough damage, even if it's a Valla.

edit: This game 4 draft is actually a good adjustment- double bruiser + tass is absolutely enough damage. Just..not sure if tanky enough.

Man, watching Cho'Gall Auriel is just disgusting. What a dumb combination, almost unbeatable unless you're 100% prepared for it in draft

Just played 3 games in a row versus 3 (then 4) Specialists in QM.

Speaking of quests, the way they're "randomized" is pretty weird. I think I had the Diablo quest about 4-5 times in a row excluding the generic ones and now, after not seeing it for months, I keep getting the Starcraft quest.

It's 10% max health, they need to be pretty low to actually kill them before they can leave. And I'm talking QM here, it's not like I can stay a lot in a fight, with no support, without awkwardly leaving for a globe/well, if no one's following up. Diablo is all about displacements. And also, the enemy is not gonna stay in the dumbest places near a wall all the time.

But it's not about killing faster, if I'm playing Dehaka, for example, I can stay a lot longer in a fight without support, deal significant damage, cc, stasis, super high sustain, good aoe.
