I got like 3 legendary skins I would have bought if they weren't expensive (terran Muradin, xenomorph Diablo, etc) and I got Genji for free, so I'm content with my pack haul. Somehow wound up with barely any sprays or banners Any complaint about getting D.va vs. Deathwing is null because we get a po po Dva skin

I know there's not much HGC posting/interest in here, but they announced that they are finally changing one of the biggest issues with the league: all games will now be played on the current live patch Much better considering they were playing on two major patches ago still

Ciaphas posted:When do you all prefer Gul'dan's Q build over E? E just generally seems safer and more effective in the long run, long as you get it stacked up in a reasonable timeframe. Chat suggested the spell armor was as good a reason for Q build as any? I prefer Q in pretty much all situations now, and I rarely see E build run at all. I guess if you are petrified about getting into range with Q then E build is good, but Q just seems like far more consistent and easy to hit damage, and decently survivable when you get the spell armor at 13. bamhand posted:Doublecross is an 83% pick rate. You can usually assume people (i.e. the pros) have figured this stuff out when the pick rate is that high. It's considered so much of a must-pick that it is getting baked into his base kit when his update/rework comes (which along with Morales should be pretty soon)

Kai Tave posted:Is there any place to read more info on these reworks? It's actually one of the more interesting bits of HotS to me how Blizzard will occasionally go back and do more than just nerf/buff a hero but make significant changes to talents, traits, and playstyle. I think that's pretty much all they've said on the subject of those two, just mentioned that those two are receiving work during the past couple Q&As.

Tassadar's most recent nerf was huge, I wouldn't be shocked if we don't see him that much anymore in pro games, which was the main reason he was constantly getting nerfed

Good patch except for the Li Li changes. Not a fan of savaging the hero that much when there are so many other problems with the hero. Lucio changes are a pretty big nerf but I think he's still got so much utility that he'll still be OK Surprised they came up with two new heroics for Dva, figured it would just be destruct as the heroic. The shot seems really good but I hope Bunny Hop is viable so its seen in pro games :3

Ok watching Alarak streams and this is completely insane now. I hope they don't nerf him too much because I like the idea of a hyper carry damage in the game Edit: Mewnfarez is in a game where he is auto attacking for 500 and his Q hits for like 1300 with 156% Sadism

lordfrikk posted:Is Alarak's new Negatively Charged talent really infinitely stackable? Seems broken to me unless I'm missing something. It stacks up to 1337 times, which of course you will never ever even come close to anything like that. Keep in mind it's also only the middle portion that it gains from and increases (so between the target and you).

GenericOverusedName posted:Does he still have a starcrafty scout drone He does. I have no idea why they got rid of Cleanse on him, that seems quite petty in terms of just removing the hero from competitive play rather than balance, which results in more work for them down the road. They also kept a ton of his generic talents (drone, ice block, shrink ray, Rewind, Storm Shield), which is really lovely especially since they made a big deal about removing the generic Bolt of the Storm this patch Midnightghoul fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jun 5, 2017 |

Libertine posted:That's ridiculous. Cleanse isn't mandatory on anyone. It's an always situational thing based on the number of hard CC on the enemy team and the number of high value low mobility targets on your team. It also generally competes with high value skill improving talents which are foregone in those situations. I was more referring to the removal of cleanse being petty in terms of a clear move to get him out of competitive popularity as a solo healer. I imagine he'll still be OK in most HL or QM or w/e games without heavy CC, it just seems odd to remove it without really explaining why or getting rid of a lot of his other generics as well. Feels like a half finished rework

S.W.O.R.D. Agent posted:Fair enough, that'll get me started in one direction at least. I usually go for either of the two lightning quest talents at 1 (minion one if I am solo laning all the time, Crash Lightning if I am confident I will be skirmishing enough to progress the quest), Mana Tide at 4 pretty much eliminates your mana issues, Windfury quest at 7 is shockingly easy to complete. 10/13 are flex depended on enemies, and at 16 I usually take the triple windfury strike (it also has the benefit of making you gain stacks very quickly since each hit counts for your quest). At 20 I like his unique bolt. I've gotten the Windfury quest stacked pretty insanely high each time I've played him, I wouldn't be totally shocked if they reduced the amount of damage you get per hit at some point. I imagine the whole Lightning charges and followthrough might still be decent, but I really don't think it can compete with the Windfury build right now
