All Tracers on Hanamura. Pulse bomb goes off instantly if it hits, and everyone has Total Recall.

e: Dying also does damage to the core and a few other stuff.

When in doubt, it's better to join the big idiot ball than try to be a solo hero. A group of idiots will outperform one smart dude most of the time.

At least one good thing about Hanamura is stealing buffs because the enemy team keeps forgetting that they're a thing.

I'm still debating whether or not to take fishy deal with murky there, it seems really good to snipe the solo dude camp and grab that team heal.

Everybody got excited about Egg Hunt when the rework was new, is that actually not any good then?

People seem to have smartened up to it. It is useful for having LOS on places but probably not as much useful as the other two.

If I recall correctly the blur is affected by graphical settings so some people have a have a harder time seeing it.

Sometimes you're playing a dude who doesn't have the ability to throw something at the stealth wobble

Val also has sometimes no stealth wobble blur at all with the unrevealable thing

If they're a bad stealthy they'll be in the middle of the open and have an easy to see wobble, good stealthies still try to sneak around from bushes and poo poo and that's harder to see them in. Like everything, there's a lot of really bad players who pick stealth heroes (on your team), and a handful of really loving scary good players who pick stealth heroes (on the red team).

Li-Ming vs. Chromie is a heck of a fight.

Mad jukes constantly, it's the best.

I'm happy with Heroes 2.0 because I got into one of these the other day and we started spinning in circles and dropping sprays and voice lines at each other in a mutual moment of silliness over the payload while the rest of our teams were loving about on the other payload.

Taste For Blood can get higher if you can manage to last-hit minions with the orb. But that requires team coordination and poo poo so it'll never happen.

I watched chu8 get up to 50 stacks on the Azmodan quest in 2:30 because a Samuro was in lane, it was pretty funny.

On one of those brawl maps where it's just everybody in a one lane clusterfuck, the other team had picked two Samuros (lol) and I picked Falstad and took the hit hero dudes with your hammer quest.

The hammer very quickly became ridiculous, it was great.

From what I've seen pubbing, D.Va in meka mode fills the same role as she does in Overwatch. Be a big obnoxious jumpjetty rear end in a top hat that's in the way, and then half the red team splits off to chase after you so the other half dies to the rest of your team.

Or I'm just playing with dumb pubbies.

A D.Va playing against Lunara definitely needs to take Ablative Armor at 13 and even then you can't really stand around and eat poison outside of D-Matrix. Not the kind of hero you should be 1v1ing.

Is there really anyone she can/should be 1v1ing though? She's a big noisy distruptor but not really killy.

The level 20 is bad because you are rooting and stunning yourself for the whole fight. It's much better to have march going and be able to participate in the fight than to have a 4v5 with perma march since the base duration is long enough that the fight should probably be determined anyways by the time it's finished.
Perma-march is loving hilarious though

I think the current in build is cocktail talents at 1/4/7, whichever ult works better against the enemy team at 10, Running Wild at 13, personal taste at 16, and human attacks at 20.

Depending on the map and who you're up against you may want to go all on on the inner beast talents. Really good if you wanna burst down a tower on ToD or kill the Immortal real quick. Hit W then hit E and chew up the target real fast.

Some people make secondary accounts and play with their friends for the recruit-a-friend bonuses and stuff. And if you move from one server (US vs Europe vs Asia etc) to the other your level doesn't carry over, so could be a friend playing with their buds on another continent or something.

e: Also smurfing ranked exists I guess

Sometimes if there's a dude just spamming pings constantly after a while I'll join in and just randomly ping poo poo all over the drat map because that's clearly what we're doing. Ping the core, ping the keep, ping that minion. Ping ping ping!

It's usually more fun than the misery of what's going on in the actual game by that point.

Awesome! posted:

how does chogall work? like what does each person control as far as movement and abilities

One player is Cho. He controls the feets and moving and the punchings and stuff and throws the ball. Other dude is Gall, he casts spells and can make the ball explode and stuff. Gall can't control movement, he's at the mercy of the Cho with that. They each get to pick their own talents and ults and such like a normal player.
