I haven't played wc3 in about a million years so I've forgotten everything other than that scene where Arthas returns and the bells are tolling.

Hahaha that and the one where the demon dude is drawing sigils in the sand, raising a sand effigy of the city before swiping his hand through it are the only ones I remember. That, and a handful of the multi-click responses of various units.

At this point a Naxx map with KT as announcer is just as if not more likely than an actual hero. Especially since I think they mentioned working on an actual Warcraft themed map.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I agree, there's already an ice mage and a necromancer in the game, and an ice necromancer knight. Those are vague enough concepts that there is plenty of design space still, but they probably are scratching their heads over a thematic niche

How's playing with goons attitude-wise? I'm a lovely silver player and it's really really annoying listening to people throw giant fits at the first setback in every game.

Would I learn something from goons or just get more annoyed?

in the rare occasions I play qm with goons they are usually pretty chill. I mean losing sucks so I don't expect people to happily say "oh well guys nice try" so I guess I have lower standards but in general you play a game and win or lose. There's very little drama.

There's basically 3 groups of goons:
  1. People of mixed skill levels who try and put out a decent game and are really chill.
  2. People who ignore pings, are dead before every objective, whine about comps, and complain that it's ~just a game, bro~.
  3. tcjimbo

Join the goon channel and try to friend as many of group 1 as you can.

The hero could just be called "Warcraft III" and one player is literally just playing Warcraft III against a team of MOBA characters

Hot take: Always play with Tcjimbo.

On another note, while I finally have all the heroes available - getting them all past 5 is a drag. I know it doesn't take long, but with so many, it feels a bit overwhelming. I think I currently have 7-9 more heroes to level to 5 and I feel like I'm still leveling too slow even with the stim. I've been mainly qming it up - is leveling up heroes faster playing AI games?

Playing AI games is a colossal waste of time. Just queue as a 5 stack with goons and suck; you'll learn how to play the hero against real humans and get a feel for what works and why.

The majority of your XP comes from time played, but winning a game vs real people nets you an extra 50k xp.

If you're seriously just playing heroes you don't care about to 5 for the loot, putting on a movie and playing vs is going to be drat near as fast and way less stress.

If you want to learn them and improve yourself, play vs real people for bonus XP and no bad habits.

At the least if they are going to limit the number shown, they should show the *first* digit. 0 for anything under 100, the 1, 2, 3. If a guy is a "5" that means he's level 500 something, who cares about the exact amount. If you're over 1000 the game makes you uninstall and take a break.

If I could impart any bit of wisdom to Goons it would be this: Never... EVER... play Sgt. Hammer.

Every time I see a Goon swap to Hammer, I am tempted to drop group and solo queue. They always feed all game and produce nothing. Without fail.
