No limits on ranks, meaning teams can be composed of bronzes and masters and if you are unlucky you can get a team of solo queues vs a five-stack. TL also lacks a fixed draft order.

So its QM

Zeratul is good fun because how you play him changes as you get more talents and based on which talents you pick.
Q build is much easier, spell build is more fun.
Both ults are viable, VP has more team synergy while might is your hard carry pick.

I recommend this build and combo if you are learning.

Blink in, Q, wormhole out; changes at 20 to blink -> Q R Q -> wormhole

Play him enough and you can do dumb poo poo like this

Devil's advocate: You were already ahead when you had the opportunity to remove a fort from the lane, and removing a fort and pushing that lane further up gives you more map control for objectives.

That kind of stuff always blows my mind. Like, it must be someone's responsibility to handle that, right? There must be some chain of command that is supposed to ensure stuff like that doesn't just get...forgotten? It's just hard to fathom a massive company collectively missing a deadline with zero messaging to customers whatsoever.

My intuition about this sort of thing makes me think they are internally discussing what their official statement will be, and analyzing whether another season is financially allowable. Saying nothing gives them time to reach a consensus on what their next action is going to be. Saying there will be a next season and then saying "well we talked about it and now you're all fired" looks a lot worse.

E: that said, you know for a fact as soon as they say there isn't an HGC any more this game is branded in big bold letters DEAD (sc2 or diablo 3 style dead)

So how am I supposed to play rexar, other than "try and fail to grab up every merc camp"

Controlling man and bear at the same time is interesting but I'm struggling to see what I'm really even supposed to be trying to do during fights. Either I keep rexar back and my team complains about how I don't do anything, or I play a little more aggressively and rexar gets gibbed instantly

You are a stun/slow bot. Don't try to 1v1 or merc (unless you are the most viable mercer on your team). Sit in offlane, Q the wave, and play near your towers/team until 10.
During teamfights keep the bear out of enemy attack range and once someone overextends punish with W->Q (enemy) or save them the same way (ally).
If the bear isn't at full HP use E on cooldown.

Kith posted:

How to Rexxar:
  • Play defensively with Rexxar. He has zero escape potential and might be the easiest character in the game to gank when overextended. If someone tries to go in on him, throw the bird and run away.
  • Use Misha as a harassment tool. If the enemy engages on her at all, use her stun to reposition her behind them and throw some axes if you can.
  • When Misha is at 70%, heal her. Back off with Misha when she gets to about 40%.
  • Pop Angerey Bear to get boss, secure kills, or during a teamfight. Do not take Boar Ult.

How to Build:
  • Easy Prey on maps where you can solo bosses, Flare otherwise.
  • Animal Husbandry. Avoid Rexxar Death at all costs once you have this - it's the primary reason that Rexxar can remain viable in the late-game.
  • Aspect of the Beast. More stuns more better.
  • Bestial Wrath. Combined with the damage output of Bestial Wrath making Misha actually threatening and the stun spam from Aspect of the Beast, Misha becomes something that the enemy team has to deal with.
  • Dire Beast. Burst damage good, especially when tied to a spammable stun.
  • Your Choice. All are good situationally. If you're never getting focused and you like getting kills, take Thrill of the Hunt. If you're up against a heavy Physical team, take Primal Intimidation. If the enemy team has a lot of dive and/or correctly identified that your 1k bonus health from Animal Husbandry means kneecapping you is priority number 1, take Feign Death.
  • Your Choice. Spirit Bond owns if the enemy team can't/won't stop Misha or if teamfights are long, drawn-out affairs. Frenzy of Kalimdor is good for if your primary purpose is bogging people down in teamfights so they can't do anything useful. Hardened Skin is 75 Armor and is handy for all of the reasons why you would think it would be.

This is all correct. Recently the buff to the level 7 Q talent that increases slow amount and duration has made me try it out and I really like it. Aspect is good but you won't get much value out of it if the enemy team is focusing your bear. If you take the Q talent you switch from needing to brawl to doing your W->Q combo and pulling the bear back and it makes the target barely unable to move for almost 5 seconds.

Rexxar was amazing when 100% of his power was in the bear, then they reworked him so it was 50/50 and then he was sort of middling, now I suspect he'll be worse as more of his power shifts to his fragile tether.

Medivh can go gently caress himself through his own portals. What a dumb hero that's only counter strategy is hoping the Medivh player is bad. Or I guess his teammates could also be bad enough to make him lose. And this is a GM complaint I've heard too, there really isn't counter play to him. I pretty much never see games where he loses other than sheer buffoonery.

Froghammer posted:

It's Johanna level CC, her damage is going to be garbage and she'll be entirely dependent on allies to capitalize on the killzones she'll set up

its way more than johanna level cc.

she has a knockback on her E-dash thing.
she has an AOE slow on her W, that turns into an AOE stun at the end.
her Q is a ranged targed AOE slow and blind.
both her ults are a ridiculous amount of CC, one is an AOE stasis / knock back, the other is an enormous AOE stasis AND gigantic physical terrain blocker.

she better be artanis levels of fragile to make up for this kit but the fact that they classify her as a tank makes me think she won't be
