Oh i know. I'm sure other ranged assassins specialists can play her but those two made a splash recently with Chromie so they would be more prone to targeted ban. Like Medivh with adrd or Glauraung.
Was he playing with his wife ? He usually go very relaxed and non try hard when he does.
Anyone else have their latency.. switch recently? lol
My best connection used to be to US West. That was true of all Blizzard games. Now, my best connection is US Central with West being at least 30ms higher in all their games. This happened about a week ago, after US West was my best for years. And I haven't moved.
???
I might even transfer my WoW toons because the Chicago datacenter realms are now by far the best while my current realm, that used to be good, is now over 100ms.

Whoever redesigned Murky and everyone who approved these changes should be be punched in the dick. If it isn't Valeera stunlock/root comps, there's either an Alpha style Murky zerging a lane or, worse, out-tanking your fucking tanks in teamfights and just killing everyone dumb enough to fight in March. I just don't want to play this game right now. Re-installing Overwatch.

That's right! You show Blizzard what you'll do if one of their games isn't to your liking!

Bought the Lucio bundle today and had a comp with tracer+valeera which would normally be awful on Battlefield of Eternity... But
We absolutely stomped them and the chase potential was unreal..
Lucio is totally OP but not because of his healing, but with his speed enhancing abilities imo.
He can allow your team to absolutely ignore mage abilities easily, he can provide disengages with ease. He can chase and solo some classes which is unreal for a support.
Every game I played with him felt so much easier than any other support, and if it's dual support that can provide some damage like li li or tass than it's GG.
edit: In short, crossfade probably needs some sort of larger c/d, being able to switch on the fly is a bit too much.

Crossfade not being an instant swap would kind of kill who Lucio is IMO.
As you said, if he is OP it's because of the speed. It makes more sense to hit the amount of speed (and maybe the amp it up cooldown), or go the other way and hit the healing to compensate for the speed being what it is.

"Should I take Bloodlust"
"Ancestral"
"So about Bloodlust"
"Ancestral, they have a blow up comp"
Takes Bloodlust anyways
"You took BL?"
"It's good with Zuljin"
We had no engage and barely any lockdown, didn't get a single good BL all game.

If he can't even get a good BL off, it's very unlikely the guy was gonna land a single good ancestral anyways. Let him take what he wants. Play your hero and don't worry about others, best advice I can give anyone. It'll just make things worse if you start trying to play for other people

He did have some good attempts at BL but the opponents could just walk away. We didn't have an earthquake or anything that could force our opponents to fight us.
Any player can land mediocre ancestrals, heck use it out of combat for all I care. You're gonna get more out of it than Bloodlust in a comp it doesn't fit.
I usually don't try and dictate others wjat to do but he asked... I should just disable chat again.
I also died in my sanctification once for extra feelsbad.

As fucked up as Murky is, it's so much fun to play him just to annoy the shit out of people. Just won a game where I prevented an Uther and an Illidan from hearthing while their core was under attack. With bubble and fishtank they can barely do anything.
Edit: Hahaha, I just got solo marched by the enemy Murky. #Worth

Just had a hero league game where a guy first picked Butcher and then fed 11 times in 13 minutes.
Thankfully he was on the other team. The only person who died on our team was our Murky, who mostly just laned while me (Artanis) and Varian set up kills for our team. Game ended 27 kills to 1 in 13:30 or so.
If only they were all that easy.

Just as a callback to an earlier discussion...for today at least, SMITE has 17k viewers for week 4 of it's pro league and HGC Europe is at 12k. I haven't touched SMITE in a long time, but I have been playing their other game Paladins and got into the beta for SMITE Tactics (and I have a spare key for Tactics if anyone wants it).
also lol at the adrd shade in the pregame interviews.

Heroes has now overtaken SMITE - the first set of matches are very early for a saturday.
Yeah. QM, which is already pretty bad, is down right horrifying on the weekends.

Join ranked match, team can't communicate roles, time ticking down, accidentally highlight nova cause she is free (I dont own her) time runs out, locks in Nova.
Play shit all game since I never use her, team rages at me all game while I'm just chillin.
Win match, get MVP. Clearly game overvalues not dying.

Nice, Udall vs Quack to start things off!
Trying to learn Alarak while also switching to quick cast on release is a pain but the character is fun to play. I'm trying to stand back and punish positioning mistakes which feel so good to land and execute. Getting focused down but landed counter strike and finishing a pack with lighting surge is pretty good too.
Any tips for people that played him a lot here? I lost all my games with him yet but there's still hope. At this point, I don't mind much anyway. Just trying to get better with him mechanically is a reward in of itself anyway.

Yeah his W is definitely something you want to change off of quick cast. I've been using quick cast as global default the last few weeks and definitely getting used to it. There are certain ones I do change back after I try it though, like that and Falstad's fly - hate not being able to see the range on it.
Finally figured out who I like to take if options are open on Towers of Doom. Zarya is such a monster in a lot of those small spaces and I love stalling altars with her pew pew.

I use normal cast on alarak and it's fine. Dont forget that while you usually alt w for mobility you still need to turn around to do it backwards so doing it manually in those situations is faster. Also you should stick to manual w if you're trying to drag both enemy and self regardless of which direction, it's easy to not grab the enemy hitbox w/ alt w
