This portrait is so bad, it hurts that I got it out of a loot box.



Now I must use it as my portrait forever so others must feel this pain.

HotS seems to have a lot of trouble with Tracer's face. That one's astonishingly bad though, worst ever in a blizzard game or any game. Far worse than Christopher Metzen's doodles. You're right though, you have to use it forever now.

A lot of portraits are horrendous. Some of the sketch ones or whatever make me think of furries.

Are the on sale heroes usually not legendaries? Obviously the heroes you want to buy with gems are legendaries, but this week is two rares and it's often cheaper epics.

This guy, who does a lot of the official Heroes art and sprays do everything. Just commission the hell out of this dude Blizzard. His art is stellar and it's really obvious how bad the other stuff looks when it's right next to this guy's stuff. Like if they just had this dude redraw all the portraits, even the portraits I think are fine, I would be okay with it.

There also needs to be portraits for all the different skins. I wish there was Lil Ragnaros portrait

My favorite bad portrait is this one, because the lack of color makes it look like Uther has a wide poo poo-eating grin when it's smaller.

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.

Medivh is actually really growing on me, even for QM. Yeah, people will gently caress up portals without VOIP, but that just means I get to use them to bully the gently caress out of people then dip out as soon as they try to go on me. His shield is amazing, and Rift kind of shits out damage when you finish Master's Touch.

Hunting down Abathurs is also the funniest thing, even if they can easily burrow out if they're paying attention. Dude just wants a stress-free game where he hats friends and soaks lanes, but nah, better run bugman.

I like the damage when shield takes damage, and then get the double shield. People will evaporate when they cause 900 damage to themselves with a blade flurry

Protect children from "Safe Schools" social engineering. Shame!

Tracer using her hair to be a shark in the ocean is pretty much the best portrait in the game though, anyone who disagrees is probably dead at this point

Those banner things when you take a camp or fort. There's absolutely no personality there or any reason at all to even have them in the game. Also they come up on objectives for some reason, most inexplicably being when you kill a group of the small skull mobs in the mines on haunted mines.

They would only be cool if you show up to a merc/boss camp only to see the banner of the guy that stole the camp from you guys so you can shake your fist at them. Except that you already know when a camp is stolen since the game announces it immediately.

It's Stukov or some kind of generic "infested Terran" unit.

Moebius group was from Starcraft and Stukov's body was regenerated by being infected by a Zerg cerebrate after his Battlecruiser crashed and he died.

Plus, the terran tech with zerg ooze on it.

It'll probably be stukov (he's a co-op commander in sc2 like abathur, zagara, artanis, kerrigan, and raynor) but of course I want it to be duran. Or just an infested command center.

Duran wasn't an experiment or Zerg, so probably not him.

Pretty sure that this is another sign pointing to Stukov. He was "cured" of the Zerg infestation and then it turned out that the cure failed and he became reinfested and began infesting others with Kerrigan.

He ran moebius foundation (under a different identity)... sort of taking the hint in the other direction.

Does Tyrande need any help? I lose a lot when I'm playing with her. I don't die a ton personally and usually do ok damage but I worry I'm not making as much an impact as I could be by playing someone else. It might just be a quick match issue where it's hard to get people to focus when I rangers mark and stun someone which seems like 80% of her gameplay.

Also I could just suck with her which is totally likely but it's nice to know what is the specifics.

Of all the things I wouldn't have said D.Va is too good at, mech basic attack damage is probably near the top of the list. Also they really don't want people taking Hit the Nitrous anymore.

I use the stylized Varian with all the ?s around his head on 99% of my loadouts. Whenever someone on either team does something idiotic you can drop it on the ground. Murky led you directly to his egg? Spray. Enemy hero walked into the death zone of your base on spooky cannon towers? Spray. Guy just keeps trying to activate/collect the objective while you beat on him and cancel his channeling every time? Spray.





I get way more mileage out of it than anything else, for sure.
