I love the Vikings, but the bummer of them is that their best maps are Gardens, Booty Bay, and probably payload. When I'm them in QM I'm stoked to get those maps, any other time I'm not.

I think it would be fine if they did map selection like gears of war did, where it would show two maps and everyone would get to vote on one.

Lane discipline in QM seems to be getting worse. Everyone just charges into mid in the opening minute and tries to get kills in an epic clash over nothing. I usually like to play tanks or supports or lost vikings, so it is horrible to watch the other two lanes go unsoaked.

I'm having a blast with this game right now. I got a few friends that play, and the most common group is myself and a couple, and we run Diablo Butcher and Tyrande in QM. Our lockdown stuns and synergy is so practiced and on point it's ridiculous. Such a fun way to hang with friends, I love it so much. I really like the lvl 16 talent, Domination, that resets your shadow charge when you cast overpower. You just target someone vulnerable, dart in and pull them out and serve them right up to a waiting butcher + tyrande. Fun as gently caress.

Cuntellectual posted:I want ANY new skin for tlv. TLV got no skins, sprays, or banners for 2.0, and the current map rotation is horrible for them, as their tanked winrate shows. They are the biggest losers of 2.0. There are tons of heroes that poo poo on them now and they're only good on a few maps that everybody hates. Because their skins would be the most expensive to make, they'll never get them, and their pickrate would indicate they will never be reworked again. Poor guys

Cuntellectual posted:Having just played The Butcher for the first time in forever: Wow is he ever bad. I got a friend that is a savage butcher player, but he only plays him when I go diablo and his girlfriend goes tyrande. After that he takes abattoir and lamb to the slaughter and I'm not sure what else, and he'll skip the first objective or two and rotate hard to build stacks, usually has them around lvl 10 or 11. After that he's a loving beast. You gotta engage from mounted and save your charge to interrupt or secure important kills. But basicallly every other butcher I play with is disappointing in comparison.

Last night ran into a fivestack that featured stitches hook into gorge into extended medivh portal into the rest of the enemy team. Our malf didn't take cleanse, so every successful hook was a death sentence. It was awesome to see but a stomp still hurts haha.

Gears of war had a system where they present two maps, and each player gets one vote. If tie it's a coin flip. Simple.

Kai Tave posted:Okay, I guess I'll ask the question that's probably been answered a zillion times already and maybe caused at least one bitter argument...what's the problem with Garden of Terror? People don't like it because it promotes passive play by trading objectives without violence and the terror is unfun to fight. I love it because TLV is my favorite thing in this game, but otherwise I'm inclined to agree.

Kai Tave posted:I'll be honest, the one thing I don't really get are Anubarak's beetles. They just seem to sorta...be there? If they have a big impact on fights I must just be missing it. I usually go for the shield upon unburrowing talent myself since if he's caught out of position Anub can get crushed pretty hard, especially by strong autoattackers. Is talenting for beetles actually worth it? Because they spawn every time you use an ability, you can stagger them and use them to siege towershots, making anub a pseudo siege hero.

Lazer build does well in low mmr QM settings but in serious games is trivially easy to shut down. If you're finding great success with it you're probably in low skills games and suck at landing dunks anyway.

Coolness Averted posted:They got hanamura, a map they're incredibly good on. Each viking counts as a body moving a cart forward. Meanwhile poor cho'gal only counts as a single dude pushing the cart. They're not that good at that map though? On hotslogs they had a 41% winrate in HL and a 28% in TL on that map last week. The only characters worse at that map are lucio, medivh, and chogall. Even at Master level for the past 3 weeks combined, their winrate is 39%. TLV's main strength is soaking lanes when people leave for objective, and with the best strategy being to siege forts down teams are heavily disincentivized to leave lanes, negating their whole deal. Also if you're going to stall out the opponents payload do it in a lane. Also it's a two lane map, which is bad for them anyway. So you're going to push a payload 20% faster into a lane where you're going to meet your opponents and then stall out indefinitely.

Vikings are solidly niche, and super rad at 4 maps or so. I miss when I could spam them in QM with a 75% winrate

Auriel requires more drafting considerations and teamwork then the other healers, but she isn't a bad character, in the same way medivh isn't a bad character.

Libertine posted:Tassadar is my favorite hero bar none, I think he's my most played, my best, my friends are always excited to see me pick him. If I play a game on him and die a single time or don't get MVP I feel like I usually hosed up somewhere. I usually play QM and according to Hotslogs I have a Master QM MRR with a 55% WR with Tassadar, my average score is 3-17-1. Here's how I usually play him: Any arguments for force wall upgrade at 20? I don't play tassadar but I've definitely been walled to death at 20 before and it looked pretty fun for him.

I tried unstoppabling myself to get out of a gank and accidentally ending up flinging my brightwing into a pile of melee gankers, making me feel completely terrible. Whoops. Garrosh reminds me of DVA in their ability to sow chaos, but garrosh can really do some amazing things with the right comps. Flinging enemy varians over a wall is hilarious during a cluch teamfight. Throwing your friends to safety and the enemy into a punisher stun right off is super fun.

Anyone else being D/Ced right when the enemy core goes to 0 HP? I've been D/Ced right at that moment 4 times since patch yesterday and dont get loot or xp from those matches. Most of those times I was MVP, I don't know if thats related or not.

Level 1 5v5 mid brawls are also great for heroes who need quest stacks. I'm playing Azmo a lot in QM right now because global dunks are so fun, and the lvl1 fight usually lets me get 3-6 stacks on sieging wrath from my first two dunks, which is huge.

Seems to be related to skins, plenty of non-default skins can't change their voicelines. Also I've been D/Cing at the final second of a match roughly 1/5 games or so, and then I lose all xp and gold for the match. Thankfully I don't lose rank in HL but drat this glitch is annoying.

I've fallen in love with Azmo recently after spending the majority of my time in hots tanking or playing TLV, and man is it fun to have full sieging wrath stacks+ black pool max-range intergalactic dunks landing on people from many screens away. If you really want to kick it up though, comboing with chromie is hilarious. Enemy team sets all up on objective, ie go sit in a barrel like fish while the artillery starts double dunking on multiple targets. Nothing like outright killing their valla and medic and all they ever saw was the fog of war and a facefull of dunk.
