I've found it's the opposite, that once people know you have the fake egg talent they'll generally leave your eggs alone, which means you can get more aggressive with your placement as long as you don't make it obvious where you're respawning from and lead them back to the real one.

Dva seems like.a more obnoxious murky that doesn't need lvl 20 to become tanky.

I ended up being right, Dva is new Murky. Just got done playing Haunted Mines where Dva pretty much carried the entire game with her infinite push. The only reason we even won in the end was because Orion was playing on our team and dropped the MMR low enough so they wern't able to finish their 5 man death ball. It was by far the most obnoxious game of HOTS I've played in a while.

You don't pick the fake egg talent for any kind of utility.

If you only care about your own stats (not others' MMR) this will do ya. He's got a github link if you want to inspect the source code.

This thing seems cool but I really had to fiddle with it to make it work, it's not that self explanatory. A very slick interface for displaying match data though.

I had a Murky on my team take Fish Eye against a double stealth comp in QM yesterday. He used it pretty aggressively as a mobile detection station, and it actually helped a lot.

Does Destiny have any iconic characters that would be cool in HoTS? Blizzard is bringing Destinty 2 to PC, so it seems inevitable that there will be hero crossover.

In the unlikely event that non-blizzard Activision IPs are ever added to hots, gently caress destiny heroes, give me crash bandicoot.

So one Genji's master skins makes him look like Master Chief which is a Bungie game so I would be surprised if we don't see skins inspired from Destiny 2 or their other games... which I can't think of right now.

By that logic we have the entire cast of Evangelion to look forward to.

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.

If there was an old gods stage where the old gods were loving with large swaths of the map at a time and the objective was to barely beat them back that would be cool.

Actually yeah that is a novel idea. An objective that attacks you on your own and you have to appease it instead of building up a nuke on the enemy

I'm still getting matched up against Solo Varians when my team has no tank in QM. I thought blizz changed that? If its because people are queuing up together with Varian then the system should just make them wait longer until it finds a tank to match them against.

Because her kit is entirely initiation, disruption, and defense like any tank in this game? What kind of question is that.

D.va has no mechanic to gain aggro, and she doesn't have 140 defense or 221 resilience so she isn't immune to crits from bosses OR players, so she's obviously not a tank. :rolleyes:
