I find pinging "I'm on my way there" is a lot more helpful than me saying "I'm on my way down bot to *person*" helps keep the channel clear in case someone has something more important to say like a joke.

Bahumbug, 8 losses tonight. Some of the games were because we had team mates who either AFK'd or kept disconnecting or wanted to spend more time blaming someone else instead of at least soaking XP. Tonight has been rather unfun with the toxic nerds. Last game was fun though even though we threw in the end.

One day I'll win against a Cho'Gall... one day.

Just counter-pick him with Leoric, Tychus, or literally anyone with Giant Killer.

I play quick match mainly so that's my fault. I just don't like the drafting stage, for some reason I get super anxious. I'm an incredibly anxious man irl so it probably has to do with that.

Arthas still does some serious loving damage against him though it was disgusting.

I imagine that strat would fall apart if they have Kael'Thas worth their weight. He could just tear every single wave down so you would need to be tanking tower shots.

Granted you could pick Sylvanas to counter that but then you're stuck with a Sylvanas on Hanamura.

Tychus is really good, but I still think Valla is the best. Although I can't pick what kind of accent she is meant to have.

Also "Well at least you won't lose any durability" when you die is still great after hearing it like 100 times because it chills me out.

Nephzinho posted:

This is because mid is closer to bot than it is to top, meaning players will rotate mid and bot to look for ganks/applying the most pressure to forts/taking the bottom shrine to avoid losing the DK. Top is so far that rotating up there to do anything gives the top lane player more than enough time to realize somethings up and back off.

It's also because pushing across the bridge is a death sentence in most games. You're extremely cramped and there are lots of heroes who can just impede your progress backwards.

Supposed Malth talent scoop:
https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/6euc2c/malthael_talent_tree/

e: as expected, he can talent some mobility. Neat. I like the design so far, but a lot still depends on his numbers, especially cooldowns, AA speed, base damage (would be weird for it to be 0 since buildings), and his tankiness.

Yeah nah I'll wait for official release of his talents, people are really bad at game mechanics and coming up with ideas on how Kel'thuzad would work.

Varian's one is kinda weird because you can't really choose exactly when to use it unless you stand around holding your dick for the right moment, or are Fury in which case good luck! The only other one when you can decide it to happen is a level 20 talent for Xul and even then it's a skill shot.

If it's on a minute cool down I'll buy it, but even then I'll be lovely with it.

I mean they gave Alarak battle momentum at level 1

You're thinking of harden focus, Battle Momentum is when you hits things and your stuff cools down faster which is considerably different.

I get that Malth should have a mortal strike, he's a dude about death and Xul is a dude about death and he has it. I just don't see it being a level 7 ability. Maybe 13 so he has to choose between either his survival or lessening the chance for the dude he is focusing on to survive.

EDIT: I just found out that Valeera has one at level 4 I just never noticed it. v:v:v

For the most part they closely follow their characterizations in D3 but they were never specific named characters until HotS. This is further complicated by some loot in D3 later being named after the class heroes in HotS (Johanna's Argument, Valla's Bequest, etc.).

If you click on Johanna enough she talks about how she has the same name as her master, and when she gets an apprentice they'll take up the name Johanna.

I'm on the opposite side of the quick match Lucio talk, I play him exclusively in it because I know if I play well I can help a bad team composition win. He has an amazing kit and is super fun.

Although what shits me is whenever I run back to speed boost an ally away from a losing fight they use that as a signal to hard engage. Just back the gently caress out, please. No matter how much I press 'V'. :negative:
