Well, the new "show cooldowns near the cursor" option doesn't appear to be working for me at all. :confused:

It does it when you try to use the ability when it's on cooldown.

is his toss a really small range or just he can target where to put dudes? So far it's seemed less like a throw in practice and more like diablo's flip, but I haven't played him. Could just be where folks are deciding to chuck him.

The range is kinda short unless you talent it, but you can target the destination. The throwee is automatically whoever is closest, hero or minion.

Garrosh seems cool but very tricky to play. I think he'll be pretty great in organized groups and pro matches where he can pull off some loving sick nasty combos with people who are aware of what's happening around them.

I mean I understand that it'd be too cumbersome to have to pick a target and the landing spot for throws, but right now the auto target mechanism seems kinda sorta really clunky. In my last game I tried to throw a minion onto some enemies to slow them down and save a Stitches who was trying to get away from them. The targeting mechanism picked Stitches and I ended up flinging a 5% HP Stitches back into the enemy team where he was promptly murdered.

I tried unstoppabling myself to get out of a gank and accidentally ending up flinging my brightwing into a pile of melee gankers, making me feel completely terrible. Whoops.

Garrosh reminds me of DVA in their ability to sow chaos, but garrosh can really do some amazing things with the right comps. Flinging enemy varians over a wall is hilarious during a cluch teamfight. Throwing your friends to safety and the enemy into a punisher stun right off is super fun.

Retooled Butcher feels pretty alright to use. Helps that the retooling came out along with a CC-heavy hero who can help you secure safer stuns to pick up swathes of fresh meat. Garrosh and Butcher work really well off each other.

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
I played a match last night where each team had a garrosh and each team had a lunara, so yeah the avoid mirror thing isn't perfect

There were also a lot of weirdly bad players on last night... My team of level 500+ teammates in QM just didn't leave their lanes during the first tower phase and we lost 3 towers, which was very strange. Idk if everyone got a play 8 games quest yesterday or something because there was weirdly passive play.


Also the bonus xp for choosing a random heto from your favorites isn't worth it, it also randomizes yout outfit and mount which makes it literally unplayable.

Lunara is free week and Garrosh is new so there's a poo poo ton of both, so it's probably doing the best it can.

I murdered the poo poo out of a Zagara who was trying to go nuts on our wall. Pulled her in with my Q, then chucked her over the wall for the towers to finish. It's like everything I liked about Diablo's jerk-rear end combo amped to 11.

I've seen some pretty great combos in 5 stacks with a stitches, garrosh, stukov. Even genji has trouble getting away from 2 pulls, a silence, and a gobble. -Never saw them live the dream and pull, hook, gobble, and shove though.

Yeah, we had a game with a lvl 900 troll or bot TLV who specifically would idle near merc camps, just close enough to them so on the minimap it looked like we might've been doing them, then attack them/do them just to avoid idlekicks or if we got close enough to see he wasn't doing poo poo.

It also does a poo poo job of viable comps. Had a match where it decided my team that already had 2 warriors, khara, and gaz really needed a 3rd warrior, the other team meanwhile had a pretty standard comp.

It's guaranteed at least one item for that character, but it could be anything from as awesome as a legendary skin or as boring as a voice line or related spray.

No, but AI teammates tend to have longer games which will get you more exp per game. If you can get a friend bonus going, that is faster. The fastest way to get gold is to churn AI games as fast as you can, which is faster with humans.

Does gold per day from AI games cap like xp does?
