yeah, jungling Artanis is actually a perfectly viable thing. I think he's one of the few people capable of a boss solo(even if that's typically a bad idea?)

Amateur Opponnet, Triple Strike, Shield Surge, etc.

I wouldn't call him the best at it, but that was my typical tactic on any camp heavy map when I was playing him. Although I was going for more of the exp lead than any significant push.

His not-as-good talents got buffed, but no one good picks those. His overperforming talent got a pretty substantial nerf but it's still the standout. Even with the nerf he's still a monster if played well. Displacement, silence, high ranged damage with heals, two great ults, and the best blink or rewind at level 20.

I'm about to hit 100 with him...

Huh, ok. It's really weird I feel like there's been a massive surge in people playing him even in the last couple months but it's probably just confirmation bias.

I also play a lot of Malthael so maybe I'm just getting counter-picked.

The good news is they’re teasing some new content on twitter.

Had a game as muradin where our pubby kealthass kept whining that I was "knocking" people out of his abilities.

Maybe he was aiming where they were going and stunning them was reverse knocking them out of his future abilities? (I'm guessing no)

There's two maps where he will be talking to himself as the announcer which will be funny.

The wide image puts even more questions up:



She has Brig's shield and Reaper's mask, and what might be 76's rifle (very top, the handle is just in-frame).

I'm a bit out of the loop, did Alarak get a big buff or something? That obnoxious SOB is in every game it feels like.

I dunno but I hate him. I have a pretty good idea I think of when I can retreat safely but then I get pulled in with telekinesis and silenced by this loving guy. Not a fan.

Put this racist on ignore immediately!
New hero spotlight

Lists her strengths as burst damage, initiation, and mobility, and her weaknesses are "crowd control and poke", and somehow that's a complete loving LIE.

Patch notes

quote:

Revolving Sweep [E]
​Attach your sword to the first enemy Hero hit, Stunning them for .25 seconds. Once attached, Qhira becomes immune to all effects, swinging around the target for 2.75 seconds, and dealing 109 damage to any enemies between you and the target. Reactivate to send you to the target’s location, knocking them back, dealing 112 damage and Stunning them for .75 seconds.
Cost: 70 Mana
Cooldown: 16 Seconds
Immunity CC for 2.75 seconds on a 16 second cooldown is exactly what I expected from a hero with a weakness to "crowd control".

Her abilities sound like a ten year old named them.

This is just like generic LOL character design 101. Really underwhelming.

Like, the minimal support and people Blizz has devoted to HOTS currently could be pulled anytime now. People being bummed they are doing this over numerous other characters people actually want is totally understandable.
