Every time a new map comes out everyone says its garbage until people learn how to play the map and then it becomes just another map that dilutes your odds of getting blackheart's bay. Remember how garbage infernal shrines was before people learned to bait the punisher? Now it's one of my favorite maps.

Didn't realize people don't like blackhearts. My least favorite maps are probably sky temple and dragon shrine.

Any reason why specifically chu8 and HORSEPANTS were not included in the streamer list?

Did they nerf Li-Ming at all? She feels less strong now.

So the new gold meta: - If you are hesitant to re-roll on a loot drop because you don't want to spend the gold, do it anyway. You can still buy things with shards. - Always re-roll if you get four commons on a loot drop, unless you loving love emojis. They are not even worth much as duplicates, while duplicate rares can go a long way toward buying the character you want.

Man, genji is fun but he really doesn't do enough damage to do much that's useful. He is great chasing down kills if your team can manage 4v5, and occasionally you can hit someone with a triple q for decent damage or some idiot will give you a perfect deflect opportunity, but I don't know that I'd even consider him for anything outside QM. Dragon blade feels unwieldy and horrible

I don't mind getting BHB in QM. It's as good as any other map as long as no one cares about winning and just teamfight 24/7 for no reason anyway. I'm guessing people who don't see a problem with the map probably only play QM (?)

It's nice to have a map that largely consists of running around collecting coins and occasionally fighting over turn-in or a chest, it's a nice relaxing break from the more frantic maps.

When I want a relaxing break I just don't queue up in the first place  When I queue up I want to play hots, not be told "actually you're taking a 30 minute relaxing break instead, enjoy"

On the op it says hero league is solo or duo and team league is groups of 5. This is no longer true. Hero league is solo only and team league is 2,3,or 5

I like BHB because there's a tension between holding coins or risking turning them in and getting them stolen from you. Really the only map I think is total garbage atm is Garden. And it's easily something they could rework to be fine.

I got some nice stuff I wanted out of chests and then also got a lot of thrall skins. I have so many thrall skins now Its nice seeing lots more skins in-game now. Before you'd usually see maybe 1 or 2 skins in a match, now almost everyone has one.

SKULL.GIF posted:Dragonblade is almost certainly going to get nerfed. It does so much massively more damage than X-Strike, it's easier to hit, it's less mana, kills with it reset Swift Strike.... So they did a very good job of making HOTS genji just like Overwatch genji.

I've yet to see a genji do even halfway decent with dragonblade. It's almost always X Strike/Shuriken build that does decent. Dragonblade is okay if you go all in on the swift strike build, but it still feels clunky and terrible to me.

It's just as funny to interrupt a genji's voice line by killing him mid-dragonblade activation in hots as it is in overwatch

Also every point of data I can find for Genji's winrate is sub 50%. He's just so, so easy to stun out and murder.

Playing at 4K resolution makes the emojis all too small to even see. Guess this means I don't have to waste money buying lootboxes. (This is a thinly veiled attempt to trick Blizzard into fixing the problem.)

How are Li-Ming and Sylvanas doing in the current game? They're my favorite heroes to queue with but it's hard to tell if I'm doing the right thing. For Li I usually go full Arcane Orb for megadamage and with Sylvanas I take all her quiver talents + her slippery escapes like Will of the Forsaken and the one that gives you movement speed whenever you spam arrow.

It's a real fun time for queuing double support in QM as DPS Li Li with something like morales or auriel and just clowning on fools with unstoppable murder panda. Kung Fu Hustle at 20 makes you poo poo out blinding winds and even untalented, her heal is pretty beefy when you can cast it every second.

Varian counting as an assassin is real dumb because they almost always go tank build when that happens and there's very little you can do about it.

This is my standard Sylvanas build; but against passive healers like Brightwing and Lucio it's probably better to build Q instead. (Or just use this build anyway then get all smug about topping the charts on the scoreboard and blame your team for everything at the end of the game.) biznatchio fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Apr 26, 2017 |

If you go both Blinding Wind talents at 1 and 4 you're preventing so much damage and dealing so much its absurd. Maybe it's just because I got one of the shadopan skins in my boxes but I'm lovin Li Li again.

Heroes like Varian just fundamentally poo poo all over all the QM matchmaking rules. Even if they only allowed Varian vs Varian mirrors you'd still have the same problem every time one of them specs Taunt and the other doesn't.
