Any reason why specifically chu8 and HORSEPANTS were not included in the streamer list?

What was the highest level everyone've seen so far? I've watched only a few streamers and even though so far I think Grubby chumped most of them with his 1401 levels, I'm sure there are more heroic poopsockers!

What are the good Johanna skins? I thought everything looked kind of bad compared to her base model.

I think her Spellbreaker skin is super good and I don't even play Johanna!



Anyway, this happened during Grubby's stream:

Got a team today on Towers of Doom who wouldn't even come to the tower capturing, just kept dying randomly all around the map, Reghar said he "cba to play". Probably has a lot of time to waste to play QM like that, good for him :shrug:

Show of Force is still a insultingly low amount of damage compared to the other choices at 4. Pure Malice I might actually consider taking occasionally now. I don't think Rite of Rak'Shir is very good.

I don't understand Show of Force and the buff even less, 7 points of damage? Is anyone supposed to notice that? I think the point of Rite of Rak'Shir is that you can stack it indefinitely (if I haven't missed anything). Pure Malice strikes me as pretty bonkers after the buff. 40% after only 4 deaths is kind of on the verge of being OP.

Alright, I'm getting tired of 2x Genji in every single QM.

What's the best hero for loving up Genjis?

I don't know about best but I played some Anubarak today and it was pretty decent. You want either stuns or at least slows/roots. I think Malfurion's roots will even stop him mid Swift Strike.

make one change and you have to test the code, qa the result, write the patch notes, translate the patch notes and ship the product with a minimal amount of impact on the rest of the systems.

make three changes and that's three times the work for a net benefit of very little. only this time you're making three changes to the meta instead of just one.

from a pragmatic project management perspective, one is low risk against the others and is a very simply decision to make. it's not lazy, it's efficient and correct.

This might be right if they ever went back and iterated on the change like you said, they only do that very, very sporadically.

According to Fan Genji is pretty busted but from my gutter league POV you really REALLY need the mechanical skill and situational awareness of someone like him to reach that busted state. Otherwise you just don't do anything and die a lot. Seeing him Dragonblade basically the whole team after level 20 is kind of insane, though, and he did it several times.

Malthael's low cooldowns give him some great mobility around team fights and very high sustain. CC is pretty mandatory for him I feel otherwise he's like a black cloud of death.

The thing that blows my mind is when you look at the reaction to this on places like Reddit it overwhelmingly leans towards blaming people for griefing and being poor sports instead of blaming Blizzard for allowing such a dysfunctional outcome to be possible in the first place.

It's pretty amazing that Hanamura manages to be the shittiest map in two separate games simultaneously though, it's like the quintessential unit of bad design. Decades from now bad maps in games will be measured in Hanamuras.

Eh, sure it's poor design but if the team didn't want to pointlessly extend the game it wouldn't happen.

I don't disagree with that at all. My point is they are not exclusive. The map can be poorly designed AND the people can be literal human garbage who just find that kind of behavior fun.

I think stealth is pretty good in this game. Most characters have skillshots to reveal stealthed heroes and the shimmer isn't too hard to pick if you're looking for it. It's more map awareness and gamesense that will give you the feeling that someone invisible is coming for you

The problem isn't seeing the shimmer when nothing is happening, though.
