Varian is so good, especially taunt. My favourite thing is when the enemy Genji goes Dragonblade because if you taunt him with it out he just stands there since Dragonblade has no auto attack. It's. So. Good. I've also finally decided to try and Ragnaros and yeah... I can see why he has been nerfed if he is still this powerful.

Zwiebel posted:I appreciate that they gave Nova her own Bribe on a talent tier that doesn't really do much. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I've felt for a while now that making Explosive Round more easily accessible would be a good buff for Nova without running the dangers of turning her back into her old Gathering Power broken-style self. Whether that's on a talent tier, or a change to her level 1 kit, I don't know. But giving her some decent but not amazing wave clear would be a nice way of rounding her out I think.

Change her trait from auto-cloak to some sort of variable ammunition ability that lets you switch between things like explosive rounds, slowing rounds, and maybe one other thing, and then put cloak as an activatable ability in place of Pinning Shot.

Zwiebel posted:Also her special level 20 talent that lets her restealth is kind of hilarious if you look at Valeeras or even Samuros kit having that poo poo by default. Maybe she'll get a pass at some point. Little known fact about that talent: you can cast abilities and attack while it's in effect.

As a quick match player Gazlowe is so amazing right now. With all explodium talents barring turret gunk (still the best even after nerf) and the new buffs to robo-gob he's just insane in team fights. You just poo poo bombs and turrets everywhere (since your bombs are giving you more turret charges) and can either run up to delete someone or run away to avoid it. This is probably because I'm not playing with the toughest opponents but as long as I stay mobile I feel like an invincible military industrial complex.

It would also help differentiate her further from Zeratul as right now they basically have the exact same trait. I think it works better for Zeratul because he's a melee assassin and wants to try and use stealth as a gap closer, while if you make Nova generally less of a blunted one-trick then she wouldn't need to lean as heavily on permanent cloak, if for no other reason than she has a gun.

Yeah I have to admit that "got 4 common items, pay 250 gold to reroll for a guaranteed better result" is vastly superior to Overwatch's own lootbox system and I kind of hope they backport it.

Eh, ideally common items wouldn't even be a thing. Does anyone actually care about sprays and voicelines? Probably wouldn't even mind if each crate has less stuff in it but it was guaranteed to be something you'd actually want.

Dunno if it's promised but I rerolled one into an Abathur unlock.  Having way too much fun levelling things to 5 as a clueless newbie. It's fun watching HGC and having a basic understanding of a handful of the characters. Sooooooooo much to learn.

The upgrade is not guaranteed, you're just relatively lucky. I've had it not happen to me. I am kind of sure that 4 common is a relatively rare occurrence on a reroll though, but I'm probably wrong on that.

If it's not guaranteed it feels like they weighted it pretty heavily then because I was expecting a lot of "pay 250, wind up with all commons again" but like I said, it's yet to happen for me.

I doubt it's guaranteed but I'd bet that its weighted, too. The initial seed might be purely random, and re-rolling might take into account something that was previously opened or something. Since you're paying actual gold they probably wanted a system that doesn't feel unfair. I think its a good system since people used to just sit on piles of gold, but now gold is a better commodity.

Just had a fight on Sky Temple where a battle for the boss came down to our Li-Li vs their Genji and Malf. Our Li-Li won and killed them both. Whichever goon is PureRok, I salute you this morning.

I kept flubbing my W on myself, so I wasn't sure if I'd make it toward the end. I went ahead and recorded the fight over the boss. I somehow turned off the whole UI; I don't know how the replayer works. Edit: Also we're red for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsM_WhK3y2M Basically all of my kills that match came from that one fight.

Goddamn I didn't realize you had time to go all the way to the fountain halfway through. That makes it even better. Also you can see me flub my movement and get pasted by the boss. Best Genji NA.

None of the stealth dudes are fun to play against so just remove all the stealth from each of em and gently caress it don't replace it with anything Staring at the ground watching for a shimmer so you can ping to try and get your teammate's attentions which they will ignore and get ganked by zeratul anyways isn't fun gameplay

Having fun with Tyrael, I haven't lost any of my QM games to level 5. It seems that with him people tend to underestimate how dangerous he can be because he's a tank, I got a lot of kills from low health dummies sticking around trying to kill me only to get sword'ed.
