At one stage he heard “howls of pain” from behind a curtained off area near by. “It was kind of chilling, and the incident went on for about five minutes,” Mr Godden said. He suspected that officers were pinning a detainee against a metal shutter. “The amount of violence and the physical noise of struggle caused great concern,” he added...

I tried the range quest for nazeebo at lvl 1 (thing of the deep) and it was pretty fun. Just gotta be good at getting minion stacks quickly. In other words, be good at nazeebo.

I heard he wasn't very good currently, but since most games are people feeding and then multiple lanes needing clearing I find it works out well.

Seriously, play a hero with wave clear. Always. It's the best way to "carry."

I've started playing fenix recently, and doing his auto attack build on icy veins. His waveclear is pretty decent, and then when needed for an actual teamfight, he shits out surprisingly good damage.

We're Weekend at Bernie's-ing a dead game at this point, if anything. The numbers are terrible. I don't think anything, let alone playing it sporadically and without paying, is going to raise it any further than the level it's on now. Does me saying this mean I love bootlicking? No (I'll bet I'm somehow wrong). I've sworn off paying anything for any product AB makes forever unless they're somehow actually taking steps to rectify the slop they've clumsily yet purposefully stepped into. If you can make a good case for how blizzard makes a measurable sum off of me doing a ranked a game every blue moon I'd be happy to reconsider.

He’s also in the Mengsk spotlight for SC2. Maybe these were recorded a long time ago because they’re such iconic characters, but...

It was a shame how he carried on
I see most of the new posts since the other day are people claiming superiority by not playing an already dead rear end game.

They already know people are pissed at them, they gave a half-assed apology at the start of Blizzcon. You posting about not playing their dead game in these dead forums doesn't mean poo poo. Just stop visiting this thread or the entire subforum for that matter.

Now experience globes, that's something I'd talk about. My impression is that it's basically an all around buff for melee heroes and a nerf for ranged ones. Imagine now having to run into the middle of the lane to get experience as loving Hanzo or like Kael'thas. I guess Ragnaros' lava wave will grab globes but I don't know about Azmodan's Q or other long range abilities that kill minions. Whole thing seems dumb.

Yeah fenix can 1v1 quitte à few heroes with ease. Valla for sure you can just take out.

There’s a w-cancel trick that lets you get a little more dps out of the w that works well with the lvl 1 stutter step talent and the press 1 for more damage talent.

It's cool some of you are so passionate about the Hong Kong thing, more power to you, but you accomplish literally nothing by your repeat posting of memes and such here on the SA forums, what have you done outside these forums in protest of China?

Curious, did you delete your Blizzard accounts Moola & Bogart? Why not show us all how serious you are with a picture of said deleted account, email confirmation, etc. Telling others to do so is easy, but tells Blizzard nothing. Kinda hard to take you guys seriously when you can't put your money where your mouth is.
