I didn't realize the recruit a friend was a thing, can I still get it if I've already started playing? I think I'm over player level 5, but I'm under 10.

You have to be level 5 or lower. You get Raynor, a 5 day stimpack, Sylvanas (at level 10) and a RAF portrait if you want to think about restarting a new account for them.

Do you think I posted to this forum because I value your companionship?

I've been trying Greymane and it feels like his 'toss drinks forever' build is way more effective than any of the other options. Is there something I'm missing or should I just be defaulting to that with the 'extra stuff from W' talents at the appropriate levels?

Royalty is a continuous cutting motion


Greymane should spend most of his time at range and only go in for finishers, which means he'll probably get more out of ranged talents. I've been dived by Greymanes a lot at full health in a Gazlowe bunker and it didn't go very well for them.

But if it's like a lone Jaina or something then just go ham.

I was playing Diablo 2 yesterday and I killed Bishibosh and Rakanishu. After doing so I thought "Huh, I wonder if they could finagle a hero out of either of these dudes." I doubt they'd ever get made, and if they ever did it'd be after characters like Mephisto, Baal, or even maybe Andariel or something.

Basically, I want more heroes based on Diablo (or even Starcraft, but mostly Diablo). Less Warcraft, thanks.

Andariel should be a Kerrigan skin :colbert:

What did Andariel do? I remember a poison fan and a single target poison that hurt.

Also there's no way they'd make Andariel without a major redesign. Cydaea I think was on the list, though.

Adria from the D3 expansion also had a cool body horrorish design, and Urzael as an artillery mage would be cool and release more Diablo characters is my point here.

Everyone gets to type WHERS MANKRIKS WIEF in chat whenever the objective comes up, so you get a good simulated experience.

So it's pretty common for Unranked Draft teams to go tankless or healerless or both, huh? I'm not going to get mad, people can play what they want. But I think in all the UD I've played today my side has had both twice. (I'm often one or the other.)

He's not just stealthed, he's completely incorporeal for 5 seconds, so you can't possibly stop him.

I mean, if you don't see him on your minimap, you should just play as if he's standing right behind you.

Somewhere around gold in HL matchmaking there's a shift in mentality. Hero league itself is the new quickmatch; silence in draft, bullshit slam picks, nightmare team comps, specialists who just tower hump themselves to death all game, the works. Unranked draft is even worse in that matchmaking tier. In my experience in Gold/Silver HL it's pretty common to go tank or healerless, let alone unranked draft.

I don't enjoy Vs AI games as they are right now, personally. I'm not against some more creative PvE stuff at all, though.

Maybe I'll just have to try to tank/heal my way up the MMR a bit. Considering I'm 2-6 right now, I imagine my hidden ranking is in the dumps.

This is all very confusing. Do you mind if I call you Rodriguez?
Been a while since I was in gold now (knock on wood), but last I was there you could win just fine with no tank and no healer comps. It's not optimal, but it doesn't become a major issue unless the enemy team is adapting to take advantage.

I ended up at platinum 4 and promoted to 3 after placements, and have been having a 90% good time in HL. I'm not sure what happened, but people are communicative in drafts, pings are reasonable/people seem to keep an eye on the map, in game chat is kept to the game and nontoxic.

I ended up in plat 2 after not having played for a year. It's such a better experience than QM by far, but seeing as I haven't played for a year I'm back to the ol' grind because I need to learn some more stuff before I take it seriously I think.

I badly need to learn how to play melee assassins and tanks. Bruisers and ranged assassins--especially Zarya and Gul'dan--have carried the hell out of me to this point, but if I'm ever 'forced' to pick a tank or melee assassin I'm straight loving hosing my team.

At least I play an okayish Rehgar. Maybe I should level Li Li to 5 so I have another option, too.

We got friggin Probius, a generic worker unit, over actual popular Starcraft characters, so anything is possible.

Diablo is my favorite Blizzard property so I definitely want to see more characters from it. Two main ones I want to see are Duriel and Blood Raven. Duriel would definitely need an ult that lags everyone. Blood Raven would be an sort of Valla/Xul hybrid with fire attacks and the ability to summon undead minions. Or if they' want to rework her abilities from DII, I can see an AA character with high self-sustain (leeching attacks).

Personally I always wait and see what my team doesn't have and choose accordingly but that's kind of what I play the draft modes for, to narrow down my choices so it's easier for me to choose something.
