Yea most of them are hot trash or just aram. The pirate one was cool, and I like the one where you gotta fight the punishers.

This is just the first part of 2.0, there's two additional heroes and a new map that's also going to be launching with the update who aren't on the test server yet.
Basically it's a week of the new loot system, then a week for new hero one, then a week for new hero two and the map.
There's a lot more coming than they've mentioned so far

I liked the last two brawls did them back to back (reset was just when I finished Bloodlust)?
I got Illidan both times lol. Also won the 2 Azmodunk brawls fairly easy, just stack em, kill 'em, kill core. Went swimmingly, despite everyone doing it for the firßt time.

TFW you lead your team in every major metric and you're playing Probius. So of course we lost.

Shit did you play me? Just ran into a mean probius/gazlowe comp and murdered them as Valeera.

Naw, had a Kerrigan, Chromie, Malf and Sonya on my team.

Damn. I've gotta say there isn't much more of a cancerous combo than Gaz/Probius. Was a nightmare to navigate the turret fields.
Is there a more cancer quick match comp than: Abathur (god tier variety), Illidan, Zeratul, Chromie, Brightwing. I was in the process of slitting my wrists before the game even started.

Since the start of the new season, I've discovered and followed Nubkeks' YT channel. He documents his road to grand master by going through the draft and gameplay after the fact which I find fascinating. He plays a wide variety of roles and heroes so that's a nice perspective overall to see. I think it helped me get better by proxy in a way because he explains the thought process of a high-level game in a very calm way.
I'm still having face palm moments because bad habits are hard to break especially tired but I think I'm having a bigger impact in our games that I used to. At least a positive impact now instead of negative before Milly swoops in with a witty remark.

Thanks for the suggestion. Watched a couple of his vids and I'm liking them quite a bit.
Short range and slow animation so to me it just looks like people are constantly walking out of range and then the auto doesn't come out.
Doesn't matter though since she's a mage anyway :horse:
You know you love me don't try to hide it.
I failed to impress Proto enough so that he would shield me but that one was a hard game to do anything once they grouped up.
Rereading myself it felt like I was selling out but glad it helps somebody else too !
I think a lot of abilities would also behave strangely like that. A thrown forward projectile, like Mura's Q is easy to reflect directly back in the direction it came at, but what does a reflected Azmodunk look like - would it target the space the Azmo was at when he threw it? Would a reflected Pyroblast target KT? How would you reflect Xul's Q? How would you reflect a single piece of the fire from Diablo's firestomp? And that's before balance is even factored in.
So it's probably going to look a lot like Alarak's deflection. But it could potentially trigger only on AA or only on ability damage, and the way it returns damage could still be very different.
Unless it's a heroic.
Blade dash
Triple shuriken
Double jump
Heroic 1: reflect
Heroic 2: RYUJIKENOYAAAAA
There are things in OW that are blocked but not reflected, although not many.
I assumed itd be projectiles and autos like in ow but yeah dunno if the client is sophosticated enough for it (though it must be! If they are releasing genji that is)
Id be for a melee assassin genji tho
ok genji should be able to move and shoot, but have reduced AA range like cassia and tychus.
Man, ninja flip would be such a cool ability. just like .75 seconds of phasing that works against heroes and terrain with like a 6 second CD or something.
tychus should also be able to move and shoot, but then have to stand still while minigun is active.

I decided I'd go back to Hearthstone and try it out until 2.0 is out........
Nearly pulled a Yoshi and my fist through the monitor.......... God what an awful game.
edit: And I used to pull rank 5 consistently so I'm not terrible by any means.

The old rank system? I was always rank 1 and still a scrub :b

No the current one, I just think the game is currently garbage and will be until the lead designer situation changes.
I've felt this way for a while actually.
edit: I had a pretty good tempo mage I was running after TGT came out.
2nd edit: I actually don't think pirate decks are all that bad to deal with either, would much rather play against a pirate deck than dragon priest. Started playing again this weekend and once I got to rank 18 it was all freaking dragon priests. I'll shut up about HS now.
3rd edit: Back to HOTS where I can blame losing on my team mates
Ain't that the truth.

Ok, I've finally figured out how to play Valeera and this hero is fucking stuuuuuuuuuuupid. You can't die unless you are a mega pleb (like me) and you kill everything always. Dumb, hate her. But she's fun to play. Here's my build, its bullshit. I think the reason I hated playing her before was her other builds suck dick and this one is broken.
Here's how easy she is to stomp horrible players in quickmatch.
Yet, you still lost the game.
Valeera is fine. I love how you proclaim almost every hero in the game is broken, stupid or OP just because you had one good game with them (stats wise, at least).
I would hate to be a new player reading this thread. They probably think the entire roster is OP.
