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.

I didn't play the brawl but a one lane map might be cool. Maybe the payload paths become lanes and creeps spawn to and from

The brawl was a stupid meatgrinder and grossly imbalanced and way more fun than the actual map. If they put some real effort into it I think single lane no forts is a concept that could totally work.

gently caress this map talk, let's talk about how great some of these rebuilds of older Heroes are.

I still play Xul a lot even though I'd say he's kind of limited. His rework looks really cool and those talents should improve him a lot I think. All of their reworks in general have been pretty good steps up in terms of depth and variety, some of them have been a bit overtuned but that's the way it goes.

Apparently on the PTR, if you shove an enemy into your own gate it has a chance of just persisting indefinitely. :v:

W build Xul is so much fun. Basically 100% uptime AOE auto attack, 60% life leech and 75% attack speed steroid, and bone armor every 5-10 seconds :eyepop:

Funny design where you can win a 1v5 easily but not a 1v1

Working as intended. With that combo, the enemy team has no hope... because you stole it all.

Bribe will still be good because they didn't touch the EXP advantage, and bribe will be faster than killing it, though it's easier to kill now. Healing boost is lower now, but that was never the most important part of it.

It's the one combo in the game that actually benefits them. Some players will even ban Cho if they see Auriel and think you may be going for it (like you ban Greymane or something).

Cho/Auriel is disgustingly powerful. It's basically the only way to play either hero and feel like you are strong.

Yeah Auriel works with a lot of heroes. Someone with good, consistent damage that will generally be in the thick of things for a team fight. Typically you don't want burst or poke heroes as your hat because you'll end up with inconsistent healing.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

So why/when did they change that you could use 1-5 to select Vikings? Or are my hotkeys just messed up? I was looking through the controls and the closest thing I could find to the old behavior was binding keys for control groups.

I was playing them in a vs AI game, so no people were harmed in the making of this realization.

Yeah this pretty much is the Cho'Gall experience.

I like playing Auriel with Cho or Guldan or Malthael and otherwise not really. She's probably the weakest healer in the game unless she has specific picks with her that boost her gimmick.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



Can someone explain to me exactly what I can buy with gems besides heroes? I thought it was all the featured skins and mounts, but one of the Sir Murkalot skins was on the featured page a while ago and was only available for shards, the event skins look like the same thing, and even the generic cloud mounts that are featured right now are not buyable with gems. I've got 1200 gems and I was trying to figure out if I might as well buy the featured bundle (adjusted) for 931, since there's no guarantee I'll ever be able to use them for the specific stuff I want -- I would have grabbed Knight Murky or one of these clouds in a second if I could have.

It's not the loot boxes that are the problem, it's the fact that you can't ever directly buy what you want anymore.
