I prefer cannon build, but his Warp Rift build is apparently really good too if you can pull it off consistently.

I opened one of those $5 Welcome boxes. Duplicate diablo, reroll, duplicate diablo, reroll, duplicate Valla. Boo. Then I opened the rare chest and got Zeratul, neat. I havent played a stealther yet, no Nova either, so this should be interesting.

Anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that the welcome chest is heavily weighted towards cheaper heroes, yeah.

Crazy game with two Chromies and two LiMings. All keeps down on both sides. Fighting over probably the game winning objective... Power surge apparently fries my PC

Dang, I got 1000 gems from somewhere (hitting level 250?) Waiting for sales that'll help knock off the 12 or so heroes I have left to get.

jeeeeebus christ I'm not sure if I just got lucky on team comps or I am secretly a savant when it comes to barbarian warrior-womaning, but Sonya just shits all over entire enemy teams if things go right for her

EdRush posted:We like to dump on the matchmaking but this is something that should never never happen even in quick match. Sonya/DVa/Zarya vs no tanks and Abathur. Honestly the worst mismatch on paper I think I've ever seen. I had something similar but opposite happen to me recently  How does the matchmaker look at that 4 man group and decide that what it needs is another tank  I played plenty of LoL and would really prefer Blind Pick at this point. QM matchmaking the worst it's been in 2 years and if they keep making heroes that don't fit neatly into their archetypes this problem is only going to get worse.

Yeah I'm done, next game was a HL game with a 4 level deficit because of people who I guess just started playing their heroes or something; a Nazeebo who never, ever landed a skill, and a Diablo who never, ever used his. EDIT: Nazeebo also died 7 times in 13 minutes

I had a match this evening with an Alarak who kept 1v5 diving with a team full of pokers (gotta love quickmatch) and then calling us "League of Legends trash" for not reading his mind or something. Ragers gonna rage.

He's just narrow in application is the problem. He has a move that's decent against tanks and an ult that's good against jaina. His constant presence doesn't really pressure much.

His constant presence doesn't really pressure much. I play Leoric a bunch and he's pretty solid against many different compositions. Try this: Reanimation/Royal Focus/Paralyzing Rage/Entomb/Crushing Hope (ST) or Burning Rage (MT)/Renewed Swing Paralyzing Rage is incredible and the tradeoff of having a shorter range vs Ghastly Reach is offset by using Wraith Walk aggressively with Royal Focus. Leoric doesn't lock down single targets as well as Anub'arak does nor is he as difficult to kill and as good at peeling as Johanna, but he can wade into the thickest part of the battle and drag down everyone else with him. He pairs well with heroes like Raynor, Cassia, Zul'jin, or any of the mages who just need their targets to stay still for several seconds to be able to wreck everything. Paralyzing Rage & Entomb is just that good. Drain Hope talents are mostly a trap IMO unless you're up against Arthas & Azmodan & Chen or something dumb like that where they're not only fat they also have trouble getting away from your soulsucker.

He's a very solid bruiser against any team that has heroes you can expect to stand within range of Bigby's Grasping Hand. Also, Entomb is fantastic against anything that doesn't have a teleport or dash that goes over terrain.

Froghammer posted:Cho'Gal / Leoric / Anub / Auriel A surprisingly solid one. Leoric and Anub'arak can peel for days for the other three, and Auriel gets energy from Cho and Gall at the same time so she's constantly topped off.

Also Leo and Anub are two of the best Cho'Gall counters so drafting them denies them to the enemy.

Also, Entomb is fantastic against anything that doesn't have a teleport or dash that goes over terrain. Yeah that's the problem, he's not a tank. He's a bruiser that's good at keeping the enemy's tank or characters without good maneuverability zoned. Leo is a very useful addition to most comps, and can do a good job of bullying lanes. His durability when you can land the spooky hand and a target stays in it is deceptive, since he can melt pretty fast otherwise. At this point I really wish hardened bones was baseline though.

He's a bruiser that can't match Sonya's or Artanis' damage. I haven't been too sure what to do with him but I haven't tried too hard.

Awesome! posted:how does chogall work? like what does each person control as far as movement and abilities Cho gets the movement, melee attacks, and can chuck a bomb. Gall has nearly no movement control, ranged spell attacks (no autos really short cooldowns), and can detonate the bomb Cho chucks. Basically Gall is a second ability bar, controlled by another player, stapled onto Cho.

Awesome! posted:how does chogall work? like what does each person control as far as movement and abilities One player is Cho. He controls the feets and moving and the punchings and stuff and throws the ball. Other dude is Gall, he casts spells and can make the ball explode and stuff. Gall can't control movement, he's at the mercy of the Cho with that. They each get to pick their own talents and ults and such like a normal player.

He totally can, but he has to do it by gluing himself to their tank and keeping them from being effective. Usually you want bruisers to find their way to softer targets to disrupt and kill them. Leoric does all of his work in most comps by disrupting the front line from the front, rather than by circumventing it and forcing it to turn away from the rest of his team like Sonja and Artanis.

That's always the best, when the other team gets you a free 3rd or 4th ban. Oh on ban chat because I've seen some goons do it, when your team is talking about bans, especially the "Should we grab X or ban them?" don't chime in to volunteer to play X if you're not good at what makes them unique. I've had way too many maps where you don't want the other team to snag say Dehaka/Brightwing/Falstad and folks volunteer to play them, only to have no idea how to put on global pressure, so their z really just ends up being a mount replacement. Awesome! posted:how does chogall work? like what does each person control as far as movement and abilities One player 'drives' a warrior and has all* of the movement powers/clicks to activate stuff The other play is a ranged assassin and is just along for the ride. The ranged character also can shove the warrior in a direction and give him a speed boost. They also have a combined E, where the warrior rolls a big ball that the assassin can detonate for much better damage with their E. They also have a bunch of neat talents that synergize with the other's stuff, like "Your Q does more damage to targets hit by his W," or "Whenever you use your Q his next Q is stronger."
