Just read that the PAX East schedule will be released by the end of this week, so looks like we'll hear soon. Definitely a good venue to announce some big stuff.
I dont doubt there is some blaming going on, but i was thinking more about how kenma is like twice his age and whether there is some "im dissapointed in you son" shit going on
Yeah, looks like they're trying to fix that this patch w/ the added fix.
I didn't see those changes in the notes. In orange? Or did they not highlight them? The version I saw was all white.
Weird. I see it now.
The only true Murky skins are Master Murky (aka the GOAT skin) and Funny Bunny Murky.
Grunty Murky was the best of them all til they "fixed" it. Now it looks like shit compared to how it used to.
It has been so long since I've played him. What did they change about it ? It was so cool looking when it was released.
I just went as Murky against a Murky with basically mirror comps (they had Diablo, we had Varian was the only difference). He built more traditional old school Murky and went Egg Hunt, I went the Bribe talent and then like all of the Slime talents.
Not a fair fight for him. The fact that I had my Master skin on and he was wearing the base skin just drove it home even harder.

Check out those monster Abby buffs brehs
Well he kind of snowballs now, basically.
The slime talents allow you to: slow the target, slime more often, auto attack to add more slows, and then the more you slime them the stronger your slime gets (125 more damage, then 35% more slow). Combine all that with Fish Tank giving you 75 bonus armor when you auto attack a hero and shit is pretty ridiculous.
Once you have Fish Tank you are way harder to kill, and you kill so much faster now it just...well, I haven't faced it on live (only played it), but I can imagine it's mega annoying and depressing.

I am really curious to see this new Murky on action reading what you are all posting.
Also very excited for Lucio, even though I'll have to fight for him. I played support most games before it was cool again.

Hmmm gotta think of a way to get out of valentines day so I can catch these
.....only kidding...... 
This alone might make me pick up murky again... last week I decided to try and learn Sonya. So I have plenty of pent up rage against varian
If it's tank Varian he just can't hang with you. You just chip away and he can't get away. Same with the Smash variant I'd imagine. The Twin Blades might be able to do something even through that 75 armor talent at 13 (plus he heals himself), but you never really see that spec anymore in QM at least.
Zul'jin is pretty good against Murky early game because of his Q, but once you hit 13 (or if he's targeting someone else in a team fight pre-13) he's fodder too.
EDIT: I loaded into one QM and the guy was like "I hate new hero releases, people always fuck up the queues playing them on both teams. Also why is everyone playing Murky?"
.........
Like I told one of those QM teams I was with, though. I've been waiting a long time for Murky to be good again. Granted he's too good, probably, and it's gonna be short lived...but damn does it feel good to rule the seas again.

These Lego Heroes of the Storm figures this dude made are pretty awesome (and hilarious): https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofth..._heroes_of_the_storm/?st=iz60z6h7&sh=bb75a482

Alright brehs, what's the go-to rework Murky build? I want something to go off of when I get home tonight.
If murky gets into melee range of a hero, he's going to kill that hero. That's true for about 90% of the games roster currently. You are repeatedly slowed, and chomped down by his autos and the slime, and if it gets too hairy for him he can just bubble out. Once he gets fishtank he's tankier than half the heroes in the game...
Chromie and Hammer at the pro level and Murky in the normal game. This is the worse timeline.
Egg Hunt or A Fishy Deal (A Fishy Deal prob better unless you face a bunch of stealth)
Slime Time
Time To Krill
March of the Murlocs
Fish Tank
Toxic Buildup
Making Inky or Big Tuna Kahuna
There's also a more tank oriented build if you want to do that, but you should be plenty tanky enough with Fish Tank against most QM comps.
I tried Medivh in vs AI today. The portals memes are real, no one knows what they do.
Varian stuck behind a wall with a portal next to him keeps hitting the gate until he dies.
Valla decides to go 1v3, I put a portal next to her because she's gonna need it, but nope, she turns around and dies while escaping.

For Azeroth event was farmed in little over two hours. It's super easy to complete right now, you can just hop in general chat and find tons of people looking to group and zerg rush bot macthes to complete it. The WoW mount is pretty badass.
As a solo-queue Medivh, only use portals for yourself. If anyone else actually uses them, it's a bonus but use portals primarily for your own mobility. Trying to make plays happen in uncoordinated games and save people who won't use them isn't worth putting the ability on CD.

I've got to agree with this even as someone who doesn't play Medivh. You never really expect the portal to be there when you need it but if my buddy is playing him and lets me know he's putting one down then I'll use it. If shit goes bad you're just focusing on running away, not finding a portal.

Log into HotS and /join general. Super easy to find a group of 5 to spam AI bot matches to zerg farm the mount right now.
