I was playing QM and got grouped with an absolutely terrifying Zul'jin who went full axe build and guillotine. He landed every single one, it was amazing. I have no idea how he managed to do it, not like we had a bunch of CC or anything.

On the offchance it was me, lots of practice!

Nobody badda.

Comedy aside, this is the definition of overchase, as well as some exceptional bodyblocking work from Anub'arak, and also a great example of why you target Morales first.

I'd like to see Aya Blackpaw (or someone similiar) with some kind of Jade Golem mechanic that gets stronger as the game goes on. They empower her attacks somehow or ideally they're little summons that get stronger the more of them you have called in, but the devs have said they are moving away from summoner characters.

I would also imagine they will do Garrosh at some point in the future with some kind of weapon switching mechanic. He must have the Fiery War Axe.

Maybe the summons can just do 4% more damage per level you gain. That'd be pretty cool.

Edit: I played with tcjimbo once in like beta and he was making GBS threads on my hotslog mmr before the game even started. That was enough for me. I didn't even say anything I just joined the party and readied up.

I'm really curious what prompted that first comment now.

Some guy posted Tychus' "true internal" winrate that his friend from Blizzard gave him and insinuated he had more info and then people privately tracked him down and tried to find out the rest of it and he got upset. I find it unlikely the guy who gave it to him a) should have given it to him and b) wanted him to tell the world.

Not really, unless you're counting all skin/mount colour variations as only "one thing" for some reason. Because there's like ten Tychus skins and ten surfboards and that's already more than the number of sprays in the video.

I don't actually care about sharing the extra stuff I know/have been told, but the vast majority of it is trivia that won't really matter to you unless you're familiar with the Galaxy Editor or you're interested in scrapped content. I only know a handful of "real" winrates (and even then they're not too far off from what HOTSlogs shows) and the only reason I brought it up was because I didn't think it would turn into "a thing" - I was just trying to share something y'all would find neat.

Probably for sex appeal. Just look at the outfit she's wearing. Plus Jaina would be the only female character in HS otherwise. I don't know who else they would put in as the rogue representative but WoW is such a poorly written kitchen sink that it's hard to pay attention to stuff like that.

Garona! That would be too many orcs though.

And I didn't mean that as a criticism, just... Never heard of her. I still don't know who she is. She's not even as big a name as Rexxar.

She's from the very bad WoW comic and had a few cameos. She's a part of the rogue stuff in Legion now (probably because of Hearthstone).

Yeah. Even counting each skin and mount only once instead of 4 times, that's 11 new big things. Hero, New hero skin, 7 old hero skins, 2 mounts. Many of them are hype as hell.

So yeah, saving up loot chests makes sense to me.

I figured Valeera was entirely from Hearthstone and Rehgar was just a named orc shaman for the sake of HotS.
Are any of the Diablo characters "from" something or are they just made up instead of having generic Witch Doctor or Amazon characters?
Some of the Starcraft ones like Lt Morales are just made up for HotS right?

I don't think so, maybe from the books but I think they were basically unofficial? I remember reading one in high school about a cursed suit of armor that was blatantly just a random fantasy story with the name of a D2 set slapped on the armor and an epilogue where Diablo is like "bwahaha you failed me" to the villain.

It's weird that the male barb is the closest any of the classes come to actually being a character and they went with the female barb for Heroes.

Li-Ming and Valla, particularly, are from Blizzard's short stories for the D3 characters. The rest of the Diablo series PCs are just names and personalities transplanted onto the generic character.

For the most part they closely follow their characterizations in D3 but they were never specific named characters until HotS. This is further complicated by some loot in D3 later being named after the class heroes in HotS (Johanna's Argument, Valla's Bequest, etc.).

If you click on Johanna enough she talks about how she has the same name as her master, and when she gets an apprentice they'll take up the name Johanna.

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.
