No I'm fine with QM normally. I think playing tanks (in this case Tyrael) just upsets me unless there's at least one competent DPS on my team.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

I've only tried him in Try mode but Kel'Thuzad looks to be insanely cool. Honestly the last five - D Va, Malthael, Stukov, Garrosh, Kel'Thuzad - have all ended up so good and so crazy even if I end up banning lots of them.

After Stukov I really don't feel like playing other supports anymore, he's too good/fun.

Also Tyrael is really cool! The only reason I'd want a rework is so that Holy Ground could be part of his base kit (his trait's pretty dumb but whatever) because it's so much fun.

Mr. Zad absolutely melts teamfights and it is just too rich.

I typically play support, specialist (Nazeebo and Xul), and warrior but I just had to drop the eShekels for this dude. Getting a combo off with his kit is so satisfying; I laugh like Jabba when more than one schmoe gets caught in my frost nova.

Is it weird that I wish Shadow Fissure wasn't WAY better than Frost Blast? FB just looks so loving cool, but you're a complete fool if you're not sending their backline into orbit every 15 seconds until level 20, at which point you just exist in a perpetual state of sending their backline into orbit.

I was trying out new Jaina in a match and I was begging our KT to take SF, promising that I would handle the engage with RoF so he could go full Raid Boss.

He did, and I did, and he did, and it was awesome.

The new Jaina is amazing when combined with Muradin or some other hard CC character.

He's actually insanely strong, it's just that almost every KT I've encountered tends to throw out 1 spell every 3 seconds

I think he needs a solid front line to get his poo poo in. I think his biggest strength isn't his damage but his CC. I think glacial spike is probably good if you can land them in a good spot and stick people with spears, but taking Q talents at 1 and 7 is probably the easier and better way to play him. I think phylactery is really loving obnoxious to pay attention to because I hate orb talents.

Mr. Bad Guy

I haven't seen this happen yet, but I just know that somewhere, someone is going to activate their phylactery, which prompts a message in chat, "Kel'thuzad has returned", then someone on their team is going to rage on them for having been AFK.

So I just picked up this game and got a bug where the 3rd slot of my daily quests won't refill, and my top slot is occupied by a Games vs AI 0/3 quest that refuses to register progress or give me money. I see from the rest of the Blizzard forums that I'm just hosed, huh?

I'd like to get gold to buy heroes please.

I mean Malthael's instant respawn gave the same message and I have yet to see that happen either.

Been playing a lot of Muradin and he is really fun. I am kinda sad I bought ETC instead of him. Do Blizzard announce sales more than a week in advance? I wanna know if I should hold off on buying him.

I want to play where you play, where new heroes don't just get insta first-banned regardless of power level for the first 2 weeks.

KT seems kinda like a non-ganky mage Kerrigan; landing his combo deals a good chunk of damage, but he's gonna have trouble bringing someone from zero to dead unless they're already softened up or (more likely) if he has follow-up burst from his team.

Pair him with a bursty front-liner (Alarak, Thrall, Varian) and go to town.

I've been lucky, yeah! He's been banned in 2/5 of the TL games I've played yesterday and today. He's moderately easy to counter so I don't think he's first pick or ban material, except from a fun perspective.

Lich seems broken af if you can do the combo
