Just complain at the start of every match that your comp is poo poo. Then if you lose, you can type "told you retards gg" at the defeat screen. Your penis grows another micrometer every time.

Li-Ming is one of my favorite heroes to solo queue with because she's one of the few that can truly "carry" independently of how your own team is doing. Like your team can be total poo poo but you can still have a pretty good game.

a lot of the icy veins builds also explain why you might want to use or not use different talents or explains where a hero is good or weak. It helps figure out why certain talents are clearly traps or why something else might be preferable to it.

In all likelihood, Alarak rework will be live in 2 days. Once that happens, I'll need to queue up, find a TL team willing to let me first pick Alarak, then play some number of games until he's not banned, then play him.

It's probably quicker to wait to do that than it is to actually have a solo Alarak queue pop on the PTR. 20 minutes while I was doing chores, then I unqueued to skype with my wife, and now it's been another 14 minutes with no sign of stopping :psyduck:

At least I have gotten a lot done in the meantime.

You are not one of us.
The PTR has a pretty much non-existent queue population more than a couple days after the PTR comes out. If you want to try any games on the PTR you pretty much have to do it either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Tyrande does insane damage on her own while also amplifying everybody else's damage and right now she only feels limited by a mana pool that ensures you can't do everything all at the same time.

OTO you can spec her stun to be free :shepface:

She seems like a ton of fun. Lots of fun builds. Definitely not solo healer but a solid lane bully and instant pick on "kill this one bad dude" maps like Punisher, Immortal, and Mines.

e: yeah gave up PTR after 30 minutes. May try again when cooking dinner and, bar that, try vs AI elites and try not to die.

Terrible Tychus Goon Update: Thanks to the tips from a few days ago, I've gone from being a massive albatross to my team to merely a severe detriment. Teaming up with other goons to melt down diving fools in quickmatch didn't hurt either.

In return, have this quick summary of the game where I finally managed to snag MVP through the excessive use of Overkill and Minigun:





Also it turns out the secret to surviving as Tychus is to lure everyone into a friendly Skeleton King, then mulch what's left:

Becoming even stronger in death and Phylactery lasting six seconds feels like it would be way too strong. They specifically nerfed Uther's ability to perform after his death, and even before the nerf his abilities all did half damage/healing.

Edit: I really love the change they made to Snipe Master, holding on to stacks feels a lot easier now that they can't be removed by a stray beetle or ghoul. Also, it's great to be able to actually use my 1k damage snipes on objectives and use the 500 damage aoe to clear waves.

Does anybody have some pro Lunara strats? I bought her because Dryads were my favorite NE unit from War3 and 'yads are rad, and right now I just pick her most used talents from hotslogs. I get the basic gist of how she plays in that you're supposed to ambush people, apply a whole bunch of the poison dot, and then refresh it with W when they try to run away. And if you get jumped yourself... ur ded, basically.

Leaping Strike is good for escaping and murdering squishies. Nature's Culling at 7 makes her a monster on Battlefield. It's also good on Shrines but so is Splintered Spear.

She seems to be one of the few heroes who has two truly good ultimates so that I actually have to think about which one I'd rather take at 10. Also a lefty! Maybe the first ever in a MOBA? I kinda wish she had the silly Dryad voice actor from War3 instead of this husky serious one though.
