Is Probius bad, or is it just me that's bad? Played some HotS for the first time in a while last night in anticipation of 2.0 and he seemed difficult to use and underwhelming.

He's good at zoning and can push a lane better than anybody else but you have to be super situationally aware, you have Abathur hp.

Is there any info about D.Va besides that its D.Va and she has a Cop skin?

e: Also from the wording of what the guy said, the skin is in Overwatch and not in Heroes?

I started playing last night for the first time since the launch window because I saw stuff about the game overhaul and needed to kill some time. I ended up getting a Tracer Skin in my free boxes so I decided to try playing her and it was pretty fun. Are there any tips for her? Recommended builds?

e: I also felt real :smuggo: when I dodged Nova's ult with Blink and killed her when fighting over a map objective.

The only ones that I think are must picks are
Level 7: Jumper - having an extra blink on demand is crucial for getting kills or not dying
Level 16: Locked and Loaded - master this one, all talents on this tier are flat damage increases but this one is the highest with the highest skill requirement.
Level 20: Total Recall - allows you to take damage during a team fight (diving in for a grenade for example) and then continue fighting after recalling

Whenever your current clip runs out or you reload, now you'll have a little bar in the bottom of the screen.

The [] will quickly move to the left, as long as you hit D while its in the left side, you'll get the bonus damage.

Because it's just the easiest god drat thing in the world to constantly look for a slight shimmer and save your main DPS cooldown for that when you also have the entire rest of the team looking to rip your face off you got it man.

Also I'm not exactly defending Zeratul or anything either, both characters can rot in hell they just make this game so degenerate.

Tons of heroes make QM "more annoying." Personally, Hammer drives me up a loving wall.

You know who are good Hammer counters? Zeratul and Valeera.

This but Zagara, Sylvanas, and Probius need to be added to the list. At least the stealthers come to objectives and fight over them.

I don't know if they give more, but its an already xp-starved map since it only has 2 lanes.

B-rage gives you a lot more damage but sometimes Leap is better for securing a kill if you can rely on your teammates to dive in with you

Any tips for efficiently microing the vikings? I just bought these fuckers and I love unorthodox heroes.

I get that I should use shift to give them a bunch of instructions. Is it okay to have some of them idle in a bush sometimes or what? Really keeping them all up all the time seems pretty hard. Which one is the most important?

I believe you can use ctrl+# to save your current camera position and then # to snap to it so you can ctrl+1 top lane, ctrl+2 mid, ctrl+3 bottom then 1/2/3 easily to view lanes.
Idling in a bush is sometimes the only way to get experience (your only job as a viking before level 10) since its so easy to bully a viking out of a lane.
Your job is to get xp from waves, anything on top of that is gravy. So as long as you have a viking alive in each lane that the rest of your team isn't pushing in, you are doing your job. Lots of players don't get how they work though and sit in your lane anyway, try to nicely say that you got the lane covered and they can go merc or teamfight or whatever.

Orthodox Rabbit posted:

Actually since sonya-smart people are posting right now what's the best use of her fury? I assume in a gob of heroes during a team fight its best to just use whirlwind. But when is it better to use slam vs whirlwind?

It is always better to slam. Even if you could hit 3 heroes with your whirlwind, taking 1 target down faster is better than taking 3 down slower. Whirlwind is for chasing, disengaging, and healing.

e: I worded that weird, only whirlwind if you need to to survive.

if you are avoiding fights and just escorting payloads as 5 on hanamura you are playing it wrong, 3 players max escorting, 2 stalling is optimal but the main point is any more than 3 on an escort is a waste. Do everything in your power to get your payload in before the enemy's because then you can defend theirs until your next one spawns.

Polio Vax Scene

Also if the enemy team is 5 manning their payload and you absolutely cannot get anyone to stall it, have two people push a lane/one person push and one person safety scout. Everything else even, if you get a fort advantage over the enemy, thats +1 core damage.

I like that Hanamura is complicated, it rewards strategic play as opposed to blood brawling over a single point for several minutes.

Given the choice, when would one want to take Raynor over Valla in ranked play?

1. When you can stack marksman like crazy with 2 close lanes
2. When enemy team has point and click stun
3. When your support doesn't have great healing output

Still really hard to justify, in a vacuum Valla is better and is much much better on certain maps like battlefield/braxis. Jimmy lost a lot of strength when they removed bullseye bonus damage
