Is account level just the combined level of all your characters? Also is Tyrande good? I got a skin for her last night and I've decided that I'm just going to play whoever I have cool stuff for right now. I also got a chariot that looks like it's straight out of Kirby, so that's awesome.

Huxley posted:Is there some kind of new-player grotto I'm in where I only get to play Cursed Hollow in QM? Yes, they limit you to Cursed Hollow on brand new accounts for the first few games (I think it is account level 3 or the first 3 games) because it is the "least wacky" map and doing the same map will help you get used to mechanics without trying to learn a new map at the same time.

Hot Smart ARYAN Girl posted:When playing medivh, is there a way to automatically travel through your portal as soon as you cast it? I'm pretty bad at clicking on it in the heat of battle. Watching grubby play, he gets through instantly every time. I don't know if he's just that good, or if there's a trick to it. For the first question, no, unfortunately. Would be nice if you could just press a hotkey. You might be trying to enter the portal by clicking slightly too high or too low consistently. I'd just spend 5 minutes in Try mode and get the muscle memory down. It has max priority, so if you right click a portal it should use the portal every time, even if it's really close to an enemy or tribute or w/e

IcePhoenix posted:Is account level just the combined level of all your characters? 1) Yes 2) Tyrande is kind of an "enhancer" hero. There are a lot of other heroes who have the ability to make plays by themselves, but Tyrande can provide huge advantages to her team if they are coordinated and make use of them. She's very situational. 3) That mount is awesome, but Circus Lion with Hat will always be the best.

Thanks for the advice on Tyrande. Looks like I may just be best off sticking to playing her when partied with others. I'm absolutely going to play her in pubs

The thing they want you to do is to just go back and forth between the two lanes and just kill the other team's hero. Ignore the little guys. edit: unrelated, I really wish you could set up loadouts for random hero select. I don't ever want to ride the regular rear end horse or kodo ever. And I don't want my Anub'arak to end up with a regular skin over his cool yellow robot skin. Regular horse mounts are also scientifically proven to cause a team to lose.

That's just the facts The topic of "I don't want random select to give me a random skin" has come up so often on reddit that when I saw it still does that after 2.0 I was honestly pretty surprised. I feel the same way, because there are some skins I just don't care for and got in bundles or whatever.

Hello! I'm new to the game, having watched Scarra's stream and seen that it looks fun and so far I've been enjoying it. At the same time though, I've managed to get two different epic Murky skins through chests and I have a feeling the game is trying to tell me that I should play him. I've heard he's a bit of a troll character though. How does one play Murky and is he worth getting?

I mean, that's better than the 5-assassin deathmatch nonsense that usually gets bitched about. Yeah, it's triple support, but all three supports are pretty good damage too, and Arthas is a sufficient frontliner.

That's a way better team comp than 5 squishy assasins with no sustain vs 4 assassins (two of which have sustain) and a Varian.

You got three of the highest-damage supports and two heroes who benefit a _lot_ from constant streams of healing. That's a pretty solid comp. Have Li Li go full Wind/Serpent/Water Dragon build, Auriel go Increasing Clarity/Repeated Offense and the resurrect ultimate, and Tassadar go Force Wall and pump up his slowing beam with talents. The baseline heals are going to be enough to keep the team up and running. SKULL.GIF fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Apr 27, 2017 |

If you can manage to not slam out "gg" in chat after your first death as a stealth player you're already well ahead of most of them.

ceaselessfuture posted:So what's the general "not be a bad player" strategy for Stealth characters? I dunno, the bar is pretty drat low on expectations from stealth characters. We've seen too many play like stealth is complete invisibility, get caught out, then blame blizzard for not having real stealth and repeat. Play like you don't have stealth. You can guarantee value from your kit and abilities, you can't guarantee the value that you get out of stealth. Then start seeing what you can get away with.

ceaselessfuture posted:So what's the general "not be a bad player" strategy for Stealth characters? Scout around your team/the objective/important areas of the map a lot so your team has the information advantage. Don't hang back like a muppet in teamfights (or try to roam when a fight is coming up): try to attack the squishies/wounded in the middle of the battle if you can, but actively fight - you contribute nothing if you're just standing around waiting for enemies to drop low enough that you can gank them, but you're still helping if you Snipe the enemy tank on cooldown because it was the only target you're in position to hit. Don't try to go for a sick gank far away from your team and then get killed because you didn't know where the enemy is, your gank target wasn't actually isolated, and the enemy team collapsed on you. Zeratul and to a lesser extent Valeera have decent waveclear, so don't be afraid to lane with them inbetween objectives/fights if there's no obvious thing you need to scout. Basically, play your hero as if you were a non-stealth hero who also has the ability to scout the enemy team/objective relatively consequence-free, rather than playing like you have 1HP and if the enemy ever sees you you'll spontaneously explode.

GenericOverusedName posted:I'm still debating whether or not to take fishy deal with murky there, it seems really good to snipe the solo dude camp and grab that team heal. The only reason you should ever NOT take Fishy deal is if they have stealth AND you think you'll be able to use the egg to reveal it (so fights over a stationary objective). It doesn't even matter what the mercs are on the map or how many lanes or whether you think your puffer will be contested in lane. If you don't need to reveal stealth there is no reason not to take fishy deal.

I agree with this except on Tomb of the Spider Queen where the mercs suck (only three camps and they usually don't do much before getting cleared). Fish Eye can be good for keeping an eye on the turnin points, especially the bottom one where there are plenty of vents to hide the egg in.

I tried that Auriel cooldown reduction on Q build and thought it was pretty sick. Hitting 3 heroes is no cooldown so you can spam it all day for tons of damage. However, we lost the game because my teammates decided my build sucked and wanted to talk about that instead of play.

Each one of them would bitch endlessly until I used it on them and then that individual person would stop bitching about it for the rest of the match.

Boz0r posted:Is the Probe dude any good/fun? I like playing Zagara, and it seems similar. Probius doesn't have much in common with Zagara beyond plopping junk on the map and pushing lanes, but their skills are very different. It can be fun if you like the shock combo, but is hard to get results with and has some lame talents. It can push a lane like crazy if left alone, though. I'd maybe say that in terms of play style it's more like Chromie with much shorter range, but nobody is really that similar to Probius.
