But surely if you were doing Garrosh things as Garrosh that would kick rear end more. The throwing fools thing is cool but like, Garrosh's whole thing is his industrialisation of the Horde and his general leadership qualities.

Honestly if they just replaced his two kind of sad ultimates with an Iron Star and the Heart of Y'shaarj I wouldn't even dislike the kit that much.

Realistically my argument is all the other WoW raid bosses got raid boss level work on their kit, Garrosh did not, he should have.

It was mostly the racism, plus the 'betrayal' of putting in another OC instead of making their favorite WoW character :reddit:. She also didn't get any kind of real introduction or video beyond the usual 3-day promo which didn't help.

A Pit Lord is looooong overdue, it could fit as a bruiser with a kit from its WC3 abilities.

Maybe even as a tank, they made Mei work as one successfully even if her kit is a bit too strong imo (blind, slows, stuns, escape).

I feel like whatever they do in the next year is stuff that was half-finished in the pipeline when they lost all funding and staff. Hate to break it to you.

Nah they lost funding a pretty long time ago, I don't think there's any half finished stuff left from then. after the half finished stuff got completed the same 4 dudes that were left to finish it didn't get moved to another project so they just started trucking along on the next hero, and when they got churned they were replaced with a new skeleton group to finish whatever half finished stuff the old group had left behind. HOTS has just been going off that half finished momentum for a while

lol are you loving serious they brought back the dark nexus skins but only something you can purchase as a gem bundle

problem: players have a shitload of shards that they're using to get cosmetics with zero effort
solution: release extremely popular and highly desired cosmetics in a gem-only bundle that shards cannot purchase

nevermind that there was major backlash the last time they did this poo poo with hanzo and alex because it went against the grain of every other cosmetic item

i'm sorry but the Tassadar Dark Nexus skin is awful. They just slapped his head on a weird crystal body.

as a result I have almost every variant out of boxes because I won't say no to a gold or purple.

Well the new Valla seems to slap pretty hard. Looks like with whatever build you’ll be topping the charts (in damage / deaths).

Only tried Anduin but so far I like his rework. His theoretical maximum healing output is reduced but it's much more consistent throughout the game.

So, anyone else getting boosts very frequently, but not actually activating, from the Sun's Out crates?

I've got at least 7 days worth of boosts out of 4 crates but my status thing say it's only 3 days.

Not that it is a big deal, personally, but thought it was weird.

Maybe they refresh the duration instead of stacking? That would be really stupid but I have gotten one boost out of a crate in like 2 years so I have no idea.

If boosts are more common now, remember that you can "save" a chest with a boost in it by closing HotS instead of hitting the accept button at the bottom of the screen. The next time you open that type of chest, it will have the same items inside. So if you got a boost in a rare chest, quit HotS instead of accepting the loot and don't open rare chests again. You now have a boost "saved" in your rare chest.

This can be useful if you play a lot on certain days. I'd much rather save a 3 day boost to start on Friday night through the weekend, instead of getting it on a weekday when I don't have much time to sit around playing video games for hours.

I tried new stitches and didn’t really find a build that felt good. I like a vile gas build more than stacking max health and healing on autos, but I still never felt that impactful. I suck at landing hook so maybe stitches is just not for me.
