Heroes of the Storm

[Tomino]

Some games (Quick matches, but happened with Hero league as well) you're paired with a few newbies and set against some skilled players. There are no comebacks from that, really.

The problem is that a skilled player will contribute to team fights more AND follow objectives better. When games turn like that, they're just not enjoyable.
Plus, the only skilled player by your side will most probably start raging against "noobs", with detrimental effects.

Games are like 20 minutes long. If they are longer than that either it's a crazy game or people don't know how to seal the deal and are bad. I've come back from 4 levels, at that point the enemy basically stops getting xp and you have to take play making talents such as chain bomb over flamethrower on kt. All it takes is one over extension at level 20+ to take a core 5v4.

Twice now has Leoriks ultimate not only blocked me from finishing off an enemy, but caused my death because I can't retreat fast enough to make up for losing out on my butchers brand. Fucking hate the new guy...

[Dakk-Siren]

Leoric is so lackluster. No cc, mild damage. His trait is insane on the first mine phase and on cursed hallow. But he is more of a Sonya than a tank.
I hope the monk support hero is better. This game NEEDS more viable healers.

[Salodin]

Really? I love Lili, rehgar, and malf. Not much variety compared to other roles, but the main healers now are all solid imo.

[Dakk-Siren]

It's not that they are bad it's the fact in competitive play each team gets 2 bans, which blizzard said they would adopt bans in team league. 3-4 viable main supports gets sketchy.

[Salodin]

Oh true, the bans kinda messes things up if they get an early support then ban yours. I'm sure blizzard is thinking "well the other team should pick support with their early picks before they issue the second ban", but yeah I can see why people want more support.

If anyone wants to watch one of the craziest best of 5 series I've seen in this game so far Cloud9 Maelstrom vs Tempo Storm happened last night. Vod is at http://www.twitch.tv/solidjakegg/v/9003862 finals starts at 3:42. Some of insane games.

Johanna so broken. Finally bought her and she really just doesn't die. Won a game because after our team wiped at the enemies top inner keep they chased me all the way back to our top inner keep. Since they were there they decided to push the fort. Our team respawned and we killed them and then picked them off as they tried to retreat. Pushed in for the win.

Very satisfied with both my 10k purchases so far. (Other one was Jaina a while back.)

[Quicklet]

Does anyone know if Blizzard has reduced any 10k heroes to 7k yet or has plans to at some point?

[Meian]

Murky was the last one I believe during the last major patch

[Krandor]

Friend talked me into playing this game, and despite my general dislike of mobas enjoying the hell out of it.

[Salodin]

Johanna is really hard to be bad with, and really easy to be good with. She just dominates any engagement she enters if the numbers are even. I just find her boring to play though, compared to many other heroes, but that seems like more a personal problem lol.

Kharazim the monk.
Infernal Shrine new map.
Rexxar ranged warrior.
Artanis warrior.

[Tomino]

Anyone else having a fantastic time with QM matchmaking? I'm getting teams with 3 warriors, 4 assassins or 3 specialists... Not to mention going against Lili+Raeghar with Tassadar

[Artemicon]

Quickmatch pain was real yesterday ;_;

[Krandor]

Abathur and Murky on the rotation this week, Nova players rejoice

[Tohmane]

As will the Zeratuls.

[Deadgye]

The changes in the new patch look pretty legit. http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/...2015-8-10-2015

A KT rework is great. No more insane damage with no risk. That pyromaniac talent buff, oh man is he going to be slinging spells everywhere.
From what I've played of monk he seems pretty good, although I question his ability to solo heal in a team league format. If he is up in your junk if your whole team focuses him he explodes.
New map is fun. Always funny to see people get murdered by Mario mechanics.
