Good series in HGC Europe today, followed by NA LUL of Tempo Storm letting Roll20 get Garrosh every single game and having Justing demolish them in 3 games

Roll20 was fun to watch. Especially that dragonshire map where they dominated unchecked.

For content, I tried Lucio again after not playing him since the healing nerf and it was fun being pretty much unkillable.

Yeah I played him 2-3 games the other night and I think only died 1 time total on a complete sellout play. He's very durable now and definitely seems like the most reliable way to put out an insanely high healing output.

Anyone have Malthael tips or a good starter build? I bought him on a whim for 10k and I've played several pretty terrible QMs on him so far. Melee assassins are my worst role so I'm not surprised but definitely thought I would have an easier time than what I've had so far.

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

I have a very important question for you guys...

...which L800 ETC skin variation looks the best?
Terran marine blue?
Spectre black?
Doomguy green?
Horde red? not this one
Angelic gold?
Or maybe even "Shock" orange?

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
I think it's the red one. You spend a lot of time looking at the top of the speaker cabinets and it has the nicest looking speaker top design imo.

The others are mostly similar and I'd probably end up going green because I like green skins.

Spectre Black and Angelic Gold have the most color synergies with the various mounts.

I personally prefer the Angelic Gold because the emissive colors on the backpack and the axe match up with the colors of the ability effects. I would have gone with the Shock variant if his emissives were light blue like the Angelic Gold and all of the other White/Orange/Blue skins (Tychus's Shock Custom Rig, that one Tracer Skin, ect) but since it's all orange it looks kinda lovely imo.

Fear the Reaper at 1 always, the passthrough and extra speed is invaluable.

If they have multiple warriors Black Harvest at 4, otherwise Die Alone. The damage you can put out on a squishy with Die Alone proc'd Qs is insane and allows you to butcher almost every other assassin in the game.

Slow at 7 unless you need to hit their healing output.

Always Tormented at 10.

13 based on the enemy comp and whatever will block the most damage.

Improved Q at 16 unless they're really beefy and you took Black Harvest, then Memento Mori.

Always improved E at 20.

Is tranquility on malf just bad? Twilight Dream actually contributes late game, malfs base heal is so good that it seems like tranquility is just an unnecessary pick. Like a crappier version of thousand cups.

Tranquility is cute but the silence and damage of Twilight Dream just can't be beat, especially with how often Malf gets dived. If the enemy team has like... zero dive and no CC, then yeah, I guess Tranquility will work out for you, but you gotta work to draft a team that lovely.

I've always done better with Tranquility than Twilight Dream but I think I'm in the minority. A Malf who is in range of the entire enemy team to cast Dream should be focused and killed. Tranquility casting posts you up in the middle of your team's back line.

Zagara's got plenty of skins. Star Princesses Cassia and Ragnaros or bust. Make his lower half into a cool flowing dress and he'll look legit fabulous.

Edit: If we're putting a dress on Ragnaros then make Cassia a Star Prince with a Tuxedo Mask outfit/disguise.

Li-Ming has a Lunar skin, but I have no idea what you're talking about with "ice". Her wiki page has all of her skins listed, so maybe that will help you.

Set literally every other hero as a favorite and click the little heart thing so it'll pick from your favorites. Problem solved. Ish.

I feel like he falls into the nova/zeratul/abathur/vikings category where he's useful but has some significant drawbacks/trade-offs. So I don't really want to use him uncoordinated qm play.

Diablo once you get maxed out souls. Bonus points for the fact that he can pick up huge Spell Armor or Health Regen. Downside is that you lose your super durability when you die with it maxed out.
Stitches is tanky as hell and currently in the meta because he can make picks happen with his hook (and Gorge).
Johanna is extremely durable if you remember to pop your shield regularly.
Garrosh is infuriatingly hard to finish off even at the best of times.

Depending on the enemy team, Chen can just drink in people's faces.Grounding Brew especially makes you into a drinking damage soaking machine. It is very good fun when they're mostly poke related like Chromie and Li Ming.

Chen is best if the enemy team has no way to stop you, but Johanna is a better choice in general.
