Kelp Plankton posted:i was waiting to play the game again until 2.0 hit and i'm not disappointed. barely hit lv40 so it gave me a solid amount of fun stuff and then i was a dummy and spent my 1000 gems on more chests instead of a stimpack or something, whoops. you got me good, blizzmans Gold mostly comes from doing dailies and leveling heroes to 5. You get a trickle of gems as you level buuuut the primary source of gems is cash moneys. Aside from stimpacks though nothing is gems only.

The Dehaka changes seem weird to me. Particularly the removal of Primal Aggression. I was fond of that talent on creep kill centric maps like Infernal Shrines but oh well I guess. The new Primal Rage talent is interesting. Don't know if it's good enough to outweigh Primal Swarm at that tier, but it certainly seems like using Adaptation to forestall the need to eat your Essence stack could result in doing good damage via Primal Rage.

Macaluso posted:So as someone who doesn't play RTS games cause they're the worst, what's the deal with Alarak? Is he a villain? Are Artanis and Tassadar good guys and oppose him? Zeratul looks kind of in between? What's their deal. Gimme the lowdown without me having to actually play Starcraft Alarak is a Sith Lord, Artanis is Obi-Wan, Tassadar is Qui-gon Jinn and Zeratul is Jolee Bindo. Alarak is hilarious because all he does is piss and moan about everything.

So how are people liking post rework Dehaka? Right now I'm mostly bopping between two builds for him: Option A: Enduring Swarm/One-Who-Collects/Symbiosis/<Ult>/Primal Swarm for if the enemy team is really ability damage heavy to get the most out of the spell armor and to just roll around causing a ruckus, this is mostly just the same poo poo Dehaka did pre-rework. Option B: Tissue Regeneration/One-Who-Collects/Feeding Frenzy/<Ult>/Primal Rage I'm genuinely unsure if this build is actually worth doing but it's interesting to play around with. Tissue Regeneration really helps keep you alive with the considerable amount of bonus health regen, the added functionality of 10 essence per health globe makes completing the quest way easier, and taking the Essence Cap to 60 synergizes with Primal Rage to output some genuinely impressive auto attacks for a Warrior.

exquisite tea posted:If you have a new mech ready to go then it can help to stay in pilot form to bait people into attacking you, but even with torpedo rush you're just a really fragile Tracer without any of the escapes, and at that point why not just play Tracer. Sitting in pilot mode pew pewing the Immortal on Battlefield is pretty effective.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a good map specific guide to this game? I'm looking at my Ranked stats and wow I have some issues with scoring wins on Haunted Mines and Braxis in particular, wondering if there's anywhere I can learn to play them better/meta strategies for doing well on those maps in particular.

Never speak to anyone for any purpose but basic coordination (“camps”) or something nice (“good pick”), anything else is pointless risk of an internal melt down. Be flexible. I play more Warriors than anything simply because people are allergic to playing warriors or bruisers even, or especially, when our comp really needs them

The Horde is bordering on matriarchal after Legion First Arcanist Thalyssra is pretty well liked, Mayla Highmountain is the moose tauren leader, Liadrin is probably the most iconic not dead Paladin other than Turalyon. Princess Talanji is the new face of the trolls in BfA. Alternate universe girl Thrall is leading the Mag’har Orcs. Moira Bronzebeard is effectively Queen of the dorfs.

Semper Fudge posted:I would love to hear people explain what they like about TIrion Fordring because he is like the most boring character in the history of fiction. Tirion Fordring has absolutely no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever. He does not share a single feature or personality trait that Every Single Paladin Ever doesn't have. Including Ashbringer, since Every Single Paladin Ever now own one! He is like Hal Jordan. Bland as plain oatmeal. At least Uther has the whole "Failed Mentor" shtick for some pathos. What the gently caress does Tirion have?

No Wave posted:Smash added more features than it subtracted. It added a breadth of very intuitive angles of interaction like crazy stages, hazards, more movement, items, and did it while preserving character identity. Like there's a lot going on in a game of smash but it's so intuitive that it comes off as dead simple (which is why it's engrossing to play). Melee did all this in the most beautifully realized piece of software I've ever had the pleasure of playing, where even the music far surpassed the source material. (imo the reason melee still pulls audiences has more to do with what an unbelievably well made game it is and less to do with it being especially interesting competitively) Mobas are the opposite of chill tbh. HotS is the most chill among them but that’s still not saying much

What are people thinking with Imperius’ talents? His damage boosting talents mostly don’t seem super impactful so i built him tanky (block from W, level 1 spear quest, damage reduction on spears) and that seemed alright but The shield seems the clear winner on ults tho. Wrath of the Angiris is way too short range.

That’s definitely it. There are no other precipitating factors at work, you solved the case. As for the mechanics complaints, neither of them have a noteworthy win rate.
