I hate what they did with nova. I have no interest in spending all game managing the snipe master busywork and now it's mandatory. So dumb.

I thought this at first as well but honestly you can just ignore it. It has no bearing on the playstyle at all and getting back up to 5 stacks doesn't take that long.

After getting some time with them against AI I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna run these freaking Vikings through QM and HL. I don't care that I get 15+ deaths against adept bots, trying to manage 3 lane pushes at once is fun and Baelrog talks like the Swedish Chef. Also how do I use bribe? I gather a stack from soaking, but then it seems like it just takes out a single merc? Do I need multiple stacks to bribe the whole camp?

The point of the Viking bribe talent is that it'll go up with every minion killed near each individual Viking, so whenever you have enough to complete a stack, you can dip out one of them to immediately grab a camp and still have the rest of the gang soaking and gaining more bribe stacks. As a whole, the Vikings are decent at taking down mercs, but it's at the opportunity cost of losing all three lane soaks. Xp wins games. With Vikings, you can have soak and push.

Fan of Knives is such a buggy skill. poo poo just flat out doesn't hit poo poo. I mean you can be right next to someone and it doesn't hit them unless you take the level 4 talent. You can loving stand 5 feet away and the knives just fly through people, and don't deal damage.

It does seem harder to aim than it should. I think it's functionally different from Valla's MS, which is what people are expecting? I could be wrong but I believe if you try to cast it while your mouse cursor is out of range Maiev will walk up until it is in range instead of throw it as far out as possible from her current location. This leads to it feeling laggy if you click just outside of max range and she has to spend a half second walking before casting.

Yeah fan of knives is definitely harder to aim than its animation effects would suggest. It's especially odd if you're trying to aim at close range since you can hit stuff that's behind you with how the hitbox works.

Playing Aba and queuing into Tyrande is not fun. Imagine picking a specialist and then being forced to play support and not even getting quest credit for playing support and then losing because you really didn't want to play support in the first place and now you are stuck playing a lovely one. Feels real good man.

I was having a look at the different languages on the battle.net page and there are some very good translations. The German WoW translation changed Abercrombie and Stitches to Calvinus and Kleiner. You can change the language at the bottom of the page: https://eu.battle.net/heroes/es/heroes/#/

@Vikings chat: Way back when I saved two effortposts from this thread about the Vikings. I don't have the link to Olaf's original post anymore but the credit goes to him. Note that this was way before even 2.0 so some of that stuff may not apply anymore. However the Vikings have changed so little over time that this is still useful guidance in my opinion:Olaf posted:VIKINGS Another goon posted:This is some great advice but since I was just starting out with the Vikings I usually take Viking Bribery at level 1 and split push like a motherfucker, keeping my eyes on the minimap and healthbars so I can jump to a Viking and have him waddle away; with every wave being like 10 guys you can get two stacks pretty quick and have Erik run off and pay off a siege camp and then get back in lane.

I would recommend not taking that vikings guide as gospel, Olaf's build is totally different from what most people take - the standard build is Bribe, merc lord if it's at all relevant, Spin to win, play again, jump, large and in charge, fury. That said, this high ranked 1100 game vikings player uses olaf's exact build: https://www.hotslogs.com/Player/Profile?PlayerID=4114138 No Wave fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Feb 21, 2018 |

So are we out of leaked heroes to speculate about? Seems like nobody was too surprised about the last 6 months worth so it'd be fun if the next were all out of the blue.

Update on Vikings qm funtimes: My Vikings keep mistaking our orc teammates as Tomator; as someone who played the original games their lines are gold. Also I've been losing all my games horribly, all my teammates hate me, and I keep getting crushed by Genjis and Tracers before I can even notice a viking's health is dropping, but I got to sneak Eric into a bush behind a teamfight and bodyblock a Thrall to death so it balances out. But seriously Tracer outruns my speed-boosted, full-health Eric as he flees, swiss-cheeses him in about a second, then ports out before anyone has a chance to respond; the gently caress do I do about that besides leave the lane before she gets there? EDIT: As for new heroes, I'm still hoping that we get Blackthorne (and not Reaper) as a close-range brawler/multiclass to give that "Classic" category more than one character. Failing that, a Diablo 1 hero or one of the Prime Evils would be decent. ChickenHeart fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Feb 21, 2018 |

Ort posted:So are we out of leaked heroes to speculate about? Seems like nobody was too surprised about the last 6 months worth so it'd be fun if the next were all out of the blue. People were talking about Belial being "leaked" as a future hero but I don't think there's any good source for it. It's also probably the stupidest hero choice I can think of the Diablo universe so hopefully it never happens. Timeline-wise it's been close to a year since we last got a Diablo hero and more than 3 years since we last got a Blizzard Classic hero.

Also now that I've gotten a chance to try her, yeah, her Q's hitbox is super fuckin' weird and unreliable unless the entire enemy team is clumped on top of each other. Otoh, I'm surprised they didn't nerf its range. I was regularly sniping off fleeing enemies with it.
