No Wave posted:If you don't ever plan on clearing a wave or ever hitting more than one target with your combo or ever stacking your trait or ever clearing a merc camp, you can definitely go, uh... envenom? Psionic Pulse also helps clear waves and in addition deals damage when you're murdering a single guy. So does Clean Kill. In fact if you are on Shrines I would recommend Clean Kill specifically for clearing. Last I checked you are allowed to clear waves with abilities. Fun fact, against 2 targets pulse does 360 damage over 5 seconds. Cleave does 432 over the same period. Against 1 target pulse does 180 vs 0 for cleave. So cleave is slightly better if you're continuously hitting 2 people but it is also less burst on your main target. e: math was wrong before. Just to be clear, cleave is a great talent! But it is also ok to pick her other talents when it is appropriate. They are not bad talents. bamhand fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Cleave also scales up with your meat, though.

I mean if you've played a few games of Kerri with psionic pulse and a few with fury and you actually prefer pulse I have no idea what to tell you except, enjoy!

I think I pretty clearly laid out pros and cons of the talents. You're just being willfully obstinate if you insist cleave is strictly better always.

This is one of those things that's blindingly obvious if you'd tried fury even once so "theorycrafting" it isn't very interesting. It would be like trying to convince someone that void prison is always better than shadow assault, just a waste of time.

Uh I've played both. I like cleave if we need wave clear. I like pulse if I need to flank and kill their Kael'Thas hanging out behind all the tanks.

His heal is easy to use without being a Li Li Q, his root offers great utility, and his moonfire let's you add damage without putting yourself at too much risk. Tranquility isn't as good as it used to be, but it's simple and effective. I prefer twilight almost always. Shutting down a genji or graymane with it just as they dive in is wonderful and will get you props even in QM. Okay, thanks for the info. I think I got Malf to 5 and haven't played him since. I'll give him a go.

That dude who works on the game posted here a week and said that big things were being announced at Blizzcon. Some possibilities: 1.) Making heroes free (unlikely) 2.) Map editor (very unlikely) 3.) Voice chat (plausible but barf) 4.) More formal tournaments/rewards for top TL teams (unlikely but plausible) 5.) Swaps in HL (plausible) 6.) 10v10 (hilarious but unlikely) 7.) Role queuing (unlikely) 8.) Nothing significant (plausible) Curious if anyone has other big possible ideas.

Mierenneuker posted:I think legendary announcers are mainly for characters who can offer a bit more personality to their lines, making them funnier and a more unique (no generic "your keep was destroyed" lines). I don't think they have more lines. I'd drop real irl money on an Alarak announcer because I love what a jackoff prick he is but I'm absolutely terrible with him so I never get to enjoy it.

Is there a reason Cassia's pickrate is so low? I'm having a lot of fun with her and know her lack of an escape is a weakness. Is it just that there are heroes that fit her role that do it better? Or is she bad and I'm missing something. I'm like 10 and 2 with her so far.

I suck with Cassia so I don't play her much except when I get too clever trying to counter an AA comp, failing miserably every time. My big problems with her are her mediocre wave clear and of course her range. Somehow I never get avoidance value so I usually end games with 20 stacks on plate of the whale somehow. She also has a lot of trouble with Garrosh, who sometimes isn't banned. I'm still at the level where nobody soaks enough so if I get that coveted dps spot I have to pick someone who can clear hard (Valla or Greymane).

Gobbeldygook posted:Cassia doesn't do anything that makes people say "OMG THAT'S SO COOL"/"THAT'S loving BULLSHIT", she's just a good hero. Compare her to Valla or Greymane. Cassia has less mobility, worse poke, worse sustained damage, better self-sustain (at least after Cassia hits 4 and before Valla hits 13), but she counters AA heroes and can poo poo a ton of damage in team fights. Good to know. She feels much safer than valla to me but I could just be bad at valla.

Cassia's Q seems incredibly hard to hit and it also doesn't really seem to hurt all that much

I’ll take the two ravage talents at 1 & 4 if my QM team doesn’t have a healer. Waveclear is still acceptable and it also keeps you topped off

Some possibilities: They've said they're working on official Hotslogs so maybe that, or at least maybe it will show everyone's MMR in games. I think hero swapping is highly likely given how long ago it was they mentioned they were working on it, but eh, with Blizzard you never know.

I'd imagine proper stats support similar to what Overwatch has is probably a given. An official hotslogs that didn't rely on replays would be best.

It's not really hard to guess given that Blizzard strives to always be as cliche and predictable as humanly possible, and we've had suspicion that Alex and Hanzo have been in the next batch of releases for a while now.
