Is it strategically advantageous to avoid doing placements right at the start (or the opposite?)

I got punished hard for this with my next match being a Nova slam first pick and a solo Sylvanas and a Falstad that would fly right into enemy groups

So if Hanzo just got released, when could we expect more information on the next hero? And are the spoilers suggesting it will be the Firebat? I could have sworn we heard rumors of it before Hanzo but instead we got Hanzo. Of course no idea how it will actually work, but I am tentatively excited. Hoping for an aoe basic or something.

Hanzo came out three weeks after Alexstrazsa. But they were a two-fer so he may have followed more quickly after her than is typical.No Wave posted:You've earned a decent amount of gems from lootboxes? I dunno where it came from. All I know is I had over 1k (since 2.0 gave you 1000) and still do after paying like 580 for the skins sans unlocking Hanzo, since I bought him with gold. Also, try as I might to like Hanzo, he is quite bad. You can build his Storm Bow to hit like a truck, but Scatter feels absolutely horrible to use, and even when it hits it feels piss-weak. He has some very minor utility between sonic and his D. He basically only has one useful attack ability--everything else about his kit sucks. Edit: I also had an Azmodan manage to keep his beam tracking me after I leapt over a loving wall and broke LOS. I died. Good job, game!

Hanzo does have the thing where he instantly kills a minion with his basic, no idea if that will be of any actual use.

He fires slowly enough that it's not really that great. I haven't tried a full attack speed build but even with his level 1 attack speed boost quest, it doesn't seem worth it. (Edit: I'm not sure he even has any other attack speed boost stuff.) I had far better luck making storm bow be explodey when hitting minions, because the explosion can hit heroes.

I spent about half of my first game today on a stealth character wondering why people kept throwing skillshots my way when I was stealthed. I mean, I know the first rule of stealth play is "play as if they can see you 100% of the time", but when you play in wood league where pretty much nobody can see the shimmer you tend to get a little lazy with it. Lots of bad habits to unlearn now.

Yeah, this happened to me my first Valeera game. I knew I was more visible, but it took some time to start changing habits.

Erdricks posted:Is it strategically advantageous to avoid doing placements right at the start (or the opposite?) Three considerations: 1. Are you practiced in ranked and generally on your A game? Placements matter more than general season games. 2. What is your tolerance for risk? The pool of potential allies is larger, so you might play with better than normal allies just as likely as worse than normal allies. It's symmetric, so there's a 44% chance the boosted day 1 Hanjo is on your team and a 55% chance they are on red team.* The same can be said about a D1 Tracer though. Do ya feel lucky? 3. Do you have more fun in ranked? If so don't sweat it, bad matchups happen all season. *Unless you are the boosted day 1 Hanjo

These new globe changes are great for anyone with globe talents; as Chromie, I'm getting Timewalker's Pursuit done way faster than normal because I can harass people off their globes so easily.

I was watching a couple of pros tonight and hanzo was well received, particularly as a jungler with the benefit of decent team fight capability, especially with the global on potg.

Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to AI or quick match or unranked. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

Samuro is just disgustingly fun since you can start mind gaming the other team from level 1. And now that clones can tank structures he has okay siege too.
