HotS usually falls down in polish compared to other blizz games but d va sarcastically repeating "talent? that seems generous" is hilarious. Really cool hero overall, had a lot of fun getting her to 5.

I'm so loving excited about the L800 ETC skin because it uses his normal soundset. The Country skin looks so good but the soundset resembles a guitar in a washing machine.

It's not murder if they're Zerg or a demon. Also, the alliance started it.

When demons tell you to drink from Mannoroth, you don't really have a choice. Blame Medivh for opening the portal.

Garry just sounds like Peter Griffin quoting Lethal Weapon out of context. "This was not... our destiny!" "It's just been revoked!"  I get it, it's because WoD was all about time travel, but it's still really reaching.

Your posts are weird. Is it fanfiction? We went from fighting Garrosh in Pandaria to fighting the Legion on the Broken Isles. Garrosh just disappeared without any story reason. There was also this weird 2 or 3 year gap between Mists of Pandaria and Legion where Blizzard didn't release an expansion it was really weird

Power Bottom posted:My only exposure to Cairne is from WCIII, where he was Chill Axe Grandpa. I take it he stopped being cool in WoW? Around the start of Cataclysm, after Thrall had left but before Deathwing woke up, a group of orcs working for the Twilight's Hammer cult pulled a false flag operation and ambushed a meeting between some Tauren and Night Elf druids in Ashenvale and slaughtered everyone there except for Hamuul Runetotem, who reported back to Cairne what went down. Carine immediately assumed that Garrosh had ordered the attack (Garrosh had opposed the meeting, but still allowed it to take place) and went to confront him. Garrosh, for once trying to be the reasonable and diplomatic one, pointed out that ambushing the meeting and covering it up wasn't his style; if he was responsible for it, he'd own up to it immediately. Cairne, being the chill and rational axe grandpa that he was, punched Garrosh across his freshly tattooed jaw and challenged him to an honor duel for the position of Warchief. Garrosh responded that he'd only accept on the grounds that the duel be to the death, like it was done in the old days, and not the wimpy "we stop when one can no longer continue" version Thrall had instated. Garrosh did this assuming Cairne would back down, but Cairne was like, "Well drat, son, I just wanted to get you out of power, but if you want me to kill your rear end, too, I'm down for that." To cut a long story short ("Too late."  ), on the day of the duel, Magatha Grimtotem approached Garrosh and offered to do the ceremonial blessing for his weapon for the duel. Garrosh, who didn't know that such a blessing was supposed to be given by someone of his own race, agreed, and Magatha poisoned his weapon without his knowledge. Eventually, Garrosh realized that she'd basically used him to covertly assassinate Cairne and was rightfully pissed about it. So later on, when she sent him a request for aid in bringing Thunder Bluff under her control, his reply was as follows:Garrosh Hellscream posted:Unto Elder Crone Magatha of the Grimtotem, And then the WoW writers got tired of people bitching about how Garrosh sucked and decided to turn him into Orc Hitler.

Now that Metzen's completely out of the way they've been doing okay so far in Legion, though they do have a ways to go. Illidan's whole thing in this expansion is iffy, but he's a very popular character that people wanted to see back so I can understand bringing him back. The whole "Oh, hey, you (the player characters) have an immortal spirit like I do, mine and my body were just imprisoned in a crystal," is a pretty decent way of retconning his death. The "Chosen Child" bit should have been nixed though.

I've been meaning to get into HotS so I've played a couple of matches vs AI and some unranked vs humans and tried out different heroes to get a feel for the different roles. I've also checked out the Reddit post linked to on the first page to understand the basics. Now, i like playing support heroes and I've collected enough to buy at least one hero so any recommendations on what's a good support to start out with?

Uther, Malfurion. Rehgar. All three of them are quite versatile and effective, regardless of team compositions.

They're all viable enough so don't let that guide your decision. You'd be better off leveling a lot of heroes for now - when you do eventually want to buy one buy the cheap ones with gold and the legendaries with gems when they're on sale. Rehgar Uther and Malfurion are all cheap so you could own them all after a few weeks no problem. No Wave fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Aug 2, 2017 |

Also Li Li. She's not the best in the current burst meta, but she's nearly unkillable, which is nice for a new player. Also she's only 2k gold, just like Malf.

It'll give you an idea of characters that fit your style. Since in hots support characters can play very differently and fill different roles. Luckily there are some good cheap characters, like Lili and Malf. Heck if the 'starter pack' that's raynor, muradin, and malf for 5 bucks that comes with a stimpack is still a thing I'd buy that. It's a steal and all of those characters are solid workhorses.

Other note - you can see stealth units like nova/valeera/zeratul the same way you can spot cloaked units in sc, they blur the environment around them.

Note: if you are playing versus AI and the CPU team has a Valeera she tends to bug out and will remain in stealth without attacking. Since Valeera has a noise when she enters stealth (you will recognize it if you play WoW or Hearthstone), it's a good way to learn how to spot 'invisible' heroes.

If you go to Options then click Challenges and complete them all, you actually get a free hero box.I didn't even know about this until like 3 weeks ago. It will be one of the low-cost heroes, but there is nothing wrong with them. Some low-cost heroes are top-tier. If you feel like supporting the game at all, $5 for the Welcome Bundle is well worth it. I think it comes with a free random hero, 1000 gems and a 7-day Stim pack. Heroes on sale cost at most 375 gems. If you play a lot, buy a 30-day stim pack with the gems. Also every 25 Player levels you get 150 free gems. And you also get another 500 gold for each hero you get to level 10 (it's every 5 Hero levels). Hero Level 10 takes about 25 games to reach, so it is an investment but if you are only playing a few heroes in the beginning anyway, it is a way to get some extra gold.

Li Li is the best support money can buy. She just needs some new skins. Random Cool Li Li Fact: You can hide in bushes and channel your ult while the other team wonders why the hell nobody is dying. This is great against teams where 4/5 of them have a way to interrupt your ult. Fact Two: Blinding Winds doesn't break targeting on most teleports and jumps, etc, so if there's an immune Genji with like 20 life and he's jumping away, hit that E!

Other most important advice: from levels 1-10 the most important thing is to have someone soaking in each lane. Early game ganks do very little (seriously check out the exp bar when someone dies in the first 30 seconds, it doesn't move) except in that it denies soaking. If you're soaking 2 lanes and your opponents are soaking 1 in the early game you're going to be way ahead. This is the most important and least intuitive thing in HotS. Also ganks give more xp when behind in xp than ahead xp.

The Gazlowe AI backfill on my team last night, when he wasn't feeding, was charging up his laser then cancelling it repeatedly. However we still won because they had a cho'gall and we had an anubarak with extended cocoon.

If you're playing as Sgt. Hammer for some reason, rip your E key straight off your keyboard and you'll instantly be 25% more effective than 95% of Sgt. Hammers.
