wtf. We had a brawl where all 10 players had a pick between probius, probius, and probius.

Side note, it turns out that you can blow up friendly probius's void zones.

I had a pretty annoying losing streak and had to do some math on it.

Assuming you win 50% of your games, on average:

1/2 games will be a loss
1/4 games will be the start of a 2 loss streak
1/8 will be the start of a 3 loss streak
1/16 for 4 losses
1/32 for 5 losses
1/64 for 6
1/128 for 7
1/256 games will be the start of an 8 loss streak

So yeah big loss streaks are more or less going to happen, more the more you play.

It was hilarious for the first 5 minutes until literally everyone on both sides but me and one other guy pointed out you have to move outside your base to collect coins and coins were the only way to win that brawl. Your monstrosity can't collect coins, nor can clones. No one listened to me when I told them to move their asses, so it literally turned into the one guy on the other team and me running around trying to just complete the objective while everyone else sat in their base with total radio silence.

I mean, at least have 2 people with hats on go and try to do it, but nope! Game literally took over 45 minutes, for no other reason than it was slow going and very hard to turn in because the other team randomly would decide to send their monstrosities to the middle and I was alone.

Eh, depends on the map. On Blackheart's you can pretty easily solo split push both top lanes by level 7ish...

But you shouldn't. You should have someone else solo soaking the top two lanes while your team pushes bottom lane as 4 with you shutting down their poo poo.

It's not unreasonable to have Sylv, split soak the top lane while the you push as 4 on bottom. Could be that your draft didn't give you another good split soaker or something. Though usually it's Xul that's doing the solo top strat on that map.

Whether you have an ideal top laner or not, you should still push with 4 bottom at the start of the game because it's so far from the other lanes, and you force them to waste a lot of time rotating down to respond. You'll end up at least getting the towers down before they can show up to contest it.



After they've responded, maybe then re-evaluate your life choices and go top; but the argument for sending Sylvanas to the top lanes only really makes sense if you have absolutely nobody else who can soak them effectively. Sylvanas is best spent multiplying the team's pushing power, not being by herself. If she's going to end up by herself, you are 100% better off if you just draft a different hero instead.

Garrosh's E (Wrecking Ball, throw enemies) is up there. When enemies are juuust out of range, it will often go on full cooldown without throwing anyone.

Also, queue to log in right now of 45 minutes. I only have 90 minutes to play :gonk:

e: aaaaand it upped to 66 minutes. FML.

e2: huh. I clicked "Go offline", opened HotS, and logged in that way. Worked instantly. Must've been a weird bug with the launcher, potentially on my end.

I love how it's immediately apparent which kind of Butcher you're play with/against. Someone posted a while back saying that if you have any amount of game sense as Butcher this was a buff, and that's absolutely true. In one match last night I got to 200 meat in less than five minutes, and after that there was no stoppin that murder train. Diablo and Stitches where just cramming meat down my throat as fast as they could, we ended that match at something like 42 kills to 8.

Basically, if you don't want a retarded Butcher, be Butcher.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Finally got to play Garrosh for real today on the live servers. There are plenty of comps that just wreck him, ranged in particular is hard to deal with. But man when the other team has a comp that's really susceptible to Garrosh's throw ability, it's so SO sweet. Ruining Sgt Hammer's day over and over was the highlight of a Towers of Doom game I had earlier.

edit: Well Sgt Hammer is ranged too but most Hammers will just sit in tank mode and make it really easy to pull them to me and toss them. Also it's so loving satisfying tossing people over the gate that get a little too close

I feel like Garrosh either needs more damage or more HP to be a viable pick.

I still think he should have been based off his SoO fight.

Seems to be related to skins, plenty of non-default skins can't change their voicelines.

Also I've been D/Cing at the final second of a match roughly 1/5 games or so, and then I lose all xp and gold for the match. Thankfully I don't lose rank in HL but drat this glitch is annoying.
