I have a little 1 over my Collections tab that's telling me I have a new Voice Line, but I don't have any new voice lines, none of the hero tabs have a number on them and there are no clips with a bright blue border to mouse over. I can't get rid of it and it's driving me insane.

Right click on Collection and you can mark all as seen.

Probius = great solo laner. Is he to the point where you can solo top two lanes on BHB, assuming no Xul?

What are good ways to deal with Varian?

I'm playing QM, so I could just have unlucky comps, but it just seems like he can singlehandedly win games if he even has the slightest idea how to play / takes the two parry talents at 1 and 4. It just feels like focusing him is pointless since he is invulnerable most of the time and the shortened cooldown lets him have it up way too often, and ignoring him just lets him deal absurd damage to your team as you chase around his allies.

Thanks, goons, for TL throughout today. 75% more EXP than HL is worth the marginally longer queues.

He has no sustain and is super vulnerable to certain heroes. Like Thrall can easily bully you out of lane with Q. Plus he gets ganked easily. You have to have really good map awareness if you solo with him.

Why does Arthas' profile say '10 physical armor'? Does he have more innate damage resist than every other character?

Against auto attacks, yes. Physical is auto attacks, Spell Armor is abilities. If it just says armor, it's all attacks.

Most of the actual tank Warriors have innate armor of some kind. It should show up in their trait in-game. If not, it definitely shows up on the stats menu which is C by default.

I have neither Brightwing nor the more superior announcer pack for Brightwing. Not that the announcer pack is relevant. I just think it'd be nice to have.

This is a thing they started doing recently, isn't it? I vaguely recall reading that this was part of their attempt to differentiate the tanks more.

Flex bundle is probably the best if you're new. Honestly at that point, just try some champions out in co-op games and find ones you like. A few of the champions are more complex than others, but mostly it just comes down to who you like.

I got 100 shards for a duplicate Illidan and 400 for a duplicate of someone else so I think the shard return is based on how expensive in terms of gold/gems the hero currently is.

It depends on the rarity. Legendary heroes give 400.

All the 2000 gold heroes are about the simplest in their respective classes. ETC is the simplest warrior, all his abilities are easily understood and none of them are skill shots; Raynor is the simplest assassin, he is meant for auto attacking and starts basically with only 2 active abilities; Lili is the simplest healer, her Q auto targets the lowest health hero around you, a feature (some might say drawback) that noone else has; the simplest specialist is probably Azmodan or Gazlowe. Even with these simple heroes, though, there is a lot of room for skillful play. But if you come from a certain franchise (I come from Starcraft so I played a lot of Nova and Raynor in the beginning) that is a good place to start. Just play AI games with the week's free heroes and see who you like or play QM and see who you think is effective and you want to learn how to play.

There's a limited map rotation because of the new Hanamura map. It should go back to normal within a week or two.

Pitchfork was wrong. (f)lowers of Algerbong is crap.
The Valeera nerf was almost certainly because they didn't want to scare off new players I feel. Wouldn't be surprised if they revert it the minute the Overwatch events are done.
