Because every UD draft I see is DPS1, DPS2 or specialist, Bruiser, Tank, Healer. I like the first two.

Not a complaint, people are pretty good about comps in UD and only 2/35 games so far people have deviated, once by accident when two healers locked at the same time. But being able to play the role that most people prefer is why I favor QM.

I'd imagine Cho'Gall would make a decent nano target, but that should be obvious.

People have already confirmed that a nanoboosted Cho'gall is a weapon to surpass Metal Gear.

I hopped back onto Tyrande for the first time after her rework and jesus loving christ she makes no sense anymore. The old Tyrande was about carefully watching your positioning, hard CCing targets of opportunity, and checking objectives with owl, so why the hell am I supposed to be AAing as a Support? What am I missing?

This is absolutely true. If you aren't beating your assassins in damage in a losing round you aren't living. Example from yesterday:


Me (Lt. Morales): guys we probably need to rotate together for objectives or we are going to keep losing
Jaina: this team is poo poo you guys all loving suck
Anub'Arak: your hero damage is worse than Medic please shut the gently caress up

If you have two Stukovs on the same team, the second Stukov's pathogens will overwrite the first Stukov's pathogens.

This brawl is a good time to try out Stukov's ranged attack talent and not feel like you're giving up your soul.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Had the most ridiculous game of Cursed Hollow I've ever played. This Valla was furious that I, I guess, wasn't able to effortlessly kill the entire team during teamfights as Valeera on my own? We'd get into teamfights and the rest of the team would just blow up in an instant (usually from the enemy Kael'thas) and then I specifically would get yelled at by the Valla for being poo poo and a noob and whatever (and half the time she wasn't even with us). Even with focusing the KT and killing him first, she'd still absolutely freak out every time we'd die to the teamfight and it was somehow always my fault and I'm sitting here like :confused: Like there was really nothing more I could do in those situations if everyone else on our team was still dying. I literally don't know what more this guy expected me to be able to do:



She was also like IT'S LIKE PLAYING WITH AI, which is funny because our Butcher left the game pretty early on so we had an AI butcher the entire time.

The Varian on our team apparently never noticed because he just kept pinging the Butcher and trying to get him to retreat and yelling at the Butcher, calling him a noob as if it was a real player. This went on literally the entire game, he just never noticed that the Butcher was an AI I guess:



Eventually the Kel'thuzad on our team also left so we had two AIs, me, that Varian who couldn't tell bots from real players, and a Valla who was so frothing at the mouth angry I genuinely worry that player may have had an aneurysm in real life.

I'm not putting this in the whining thread because the situation was too ridiculous for me to be mad about it.

edit: And I'm by no means a GOOD VALEERA. I'm not saying I did nothign wrong in the game. I'm still trying to learn how to play her, but there's only so much I can do especially against a team that had some pretty good CC

Reducing damage dealt is usually a level 13 kinda thing, and almost never an AOE. 5 Second unstoppable is way more than anyone else has, never mind that it's AOE. Way too OP right now.

I like the Halo heroic, though it'd have to be like echoed psi storm or Lucio's boombox (both AOEs can't hit same person, the two AOEs just make two areas) it's also OP.

Also I'm not sure how long Discord-hosted images last, you may want to mirror those.

Yeah, it's meant to be a combination between Li Li's blind and D.Va's defense matrix.

I'll definitely tone down the Mass Dispell unstoppable to maybe 3 seconds (the 5 was a ballpark figure in the first place), and I'll cut Halo to 200/200 and let them overlap for shenanigans.

I have no idea what to put here.
So I randomly started playing Medivh a few nights ago. I kinda left him alone after launch as I couldn't get the hang of him at the time, but now...I mean, dang, I think I found my calling. He seems like he has a ton of utility and works well in most situations, plus a well aimed Seal can totally turn a fight or objective. I'm mostly curious, why do a lot of folks say he's garbage at higher levels? I'm by no means a master yet and I mostly just play QM but I can only imagine a pro would essentially be the king of the battlefield with this guy.

I think the consensus is that he only works at higher levels. You need to be able to complete Masters Touch without dying, be able to tower dive and harass without dying, and have your teammates have the wherewithal to use your portals. He's a demanding mechanical skill hero and also requires your team's awareness to get full value from what he can do, and you don't usually find that until the very high skill levels.
