The only one I could possibly see that argument holding for is flailing arm, and that's only because there's a 3s CD between using charges. The others are obviously upgrades.

Massive Shove is debatably worse with the upgrade, though. It decreases the arm's travel time, meaning the enemy also gets out of it faster, and the CD reduction (for having them in it for 1.5 seconds) is actually much harder to achieve.

I'm also pretty sure there's some wonky with Flailing Arm's CD being 80 seconds per charge with its upgrade, which is definitely worse.

I didn't get any sort of notification, but apparently I won one of the weekly Sun's Out, Guns Out drawings. I have 50 more loot chests than I had yesterday.

Now I have two emails, one that says I won 5 chests and one that says I won 50.

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.

The faster displacement let's you get back into the fight sooner. They're still not where they want to be and took the damage

In general these "event" chests have been a MASSIVE disappointment. I don't think I've received a single event item from chest drops so far, and I've been opening 2-3 every day.

I didn't win anything but I have gotten the following out of earned summer loot chests:

-90% of the sprays
-squirter tracer
-2 colors of Bra Stitches
-2 colors of swimsuit Tychus
-2 surfboards
-an insane number of shards - I can get sexy Tychus, maybe in two colors by the end of the event if this keeps up!

I'd really like the computer though, I'll trade you my account and all my loot for it if you win the computer TIA

Why the hell not?
Just had the most AMAZING series of comebacks!

First, on Cursed Hollow, we were down by at least a keep for most of the second half of the game, and they got the curse twice before we got it once. We were EXTREMELY inferior in teamfights, but our map awareness was much better, so they could never capitalize on the three or four times they wiped us, because we had a boss or several mercenaries they needed to take care of. I was Raynor and I rushed the base and battlecruisered it down to about half, and then we all just charged in and pounded on the core, and it died before we did.

Second game was Towers of Doom, and we were down 32-8. I was playing Anub and I kept cocooning cho-gall, because I figured it was like taking two heroes out for the price of one. But then I remembered this thread saying how great Auriel/Cho-Gall was, and I started using my coccoons and stuns on Auriel instead. We proceeded to win every teamfight, capture a couple of towers, and win the game.

In conclusion, HOTS is great, y'all are great, I'm going to bed.

I've always figured they'll still do more infection events/give him away to folks who don't own Cho'Gall but that might not be a thing now with 2.0

It may or may not be a thing, but both in an AI game and in a TL game recently, I was able to queue with someone who doesn't have Cho'Gall and they could play my second half. As long as one of you owns them, you don't need to buy.

YMMV but that's how it worked for me, and I don't think it was a free week!

You can't queue by yourself, no. You do need at least two of you.

If you want to queue Cho'Gall:
1. Ask for buddy in SAGoons
2. Ask in the Cho'Gall channel (I think there's no apostrophe though)
3. Ask reddit channel or MFPT (immediately leave these channels once you are done if you value your brain cells)

You don't know that. Maybe that's where all the non-NA loot boxes have been going.

Announcer talk: Falstad is pretty good, if you want a cheaper option/change of pace.

There's something about a ridiculously over the top Scottish accent shouting at you the entire map that's kinda fun.

I really think they're not worth buying. The twins are fun but you can't solo queue and have to rely on another buddy who wants to chogall. You know who mostly wants to chogal? Folks who own them already, so you can play the other head for free.
Also Tychus is big right now due to his fun new skin. So there's gonna be a lot of matches with dudes whp eat chogall up.
