Why did they have to make the new map a complete clusterfuck of mechanics and poo poo? Maybe it will be good but I'm getting flashbacks to hanamura.

The objectives are timer based and can be paused, once won, it basically becomes Tomb of the Spider Queen. And that's it. The objectives are kind of a mix between Curse and Battlefield in that they pop up and need to be claimed, but then there is a progress bar of sorts where both teams race to complete theirs while trying to stop the other team at the same time.

Wow the new map looks amazing (like visually). Grunts, sharpshooters, spearthrowers, gnolls with goofy balls and chains, raiders? Looks so so good.

Passive armor is getting removed. This looks like huge nerfs to tanks with armor (Johanna, Arthas, taunt Varian, Anubarak) which will make garrosh even better. The affected tanks had their hp buffed, but not nearly enough when you consider that healing is up to 25 percent less effective on them. Garrosh instaban going forwards it looks like as his trait will make him much easier to keep alive through healing than anyone else. On the plus side varian baseline hp was buffed so C Smash should be pretty decent again.

I'm not a fan of them just adding general additional health without really thinking of how much armor got lost or what that does to the hero. The fact that Cassia lost health regen for some reason too just seems insane edit: They didn't change talents that are armor negation ones like Zul'Jin, Cassia and others, which seems like not a great idea since they are much less useful now.

Kai Tave posted:Was Cassia really overperforming so much that she merited nerfs to both her regen and her trait? They just want her to be less of a niche hero. The max health increase and armor decrease is a nerf vs physical damage and a buff versus magical damage, except she'll still easily beat right clickers. It's meant to be a buff overall. fool_of_sound posted:The problem with removing passive physical armor is that a lot of the most potent autoattackers attack very quickly, which negates talents like Arthas' Rime. The need to edit block-esque talents like that to a proc-on-auto that lasts like, .3 seconds or something. No they really don't. Eraflure fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Jun 4, 2018 |

Johanna and arthas take 33% more damage from AAs - as characters that generally take the bulk of their damage from physical attacks - and got 9% hp increases. Like.... why.

Kurieg posted:Are we finally getting Wereshark Graymane? Probably not; it's more likely to be a recolor of one of his existing skins. If it were a new model, they would have shown it off with all the others in the preview videos. Plus as cool as it would be, Wereshark Pirate Genn doesn't really fit the whole "Alliance vs. Horde in Alterac Valley" theme the next event's got going.

Where is that 33% coming from? Arthas has 10 physical armor, which means 10% less damage from AAs. Combined with the Rime change, he's largely unphased by this change unless he goes against tracer+genji.

Well she is a support so you can't have them be any fun to play. But I am glad that Blizzard continues to give me an official reason to be an "I don't play support" shitlord.

She was doing extremely well after the most recent buffs. Blizzard's internal numbers after the buff (which tend to only use hero levels over 10) showed her as the highest performing support with ana second. Ana seems to have gone back down since. They mostly nerfed her wave clear, which probably was a lot better than other supports. She's too hard to play for my tastes and I find ana funnier so I use her instead (or deckard if I want an easier game, or lili if I want a free win).
