I started playing last night for the first time since the launch window because I saw stuff about the game overhaul and needed to kill some time. I ended up getting a Tracer Skin in my free boxes so I decided to try playing her and it was pretty fun. Are there any tips for her? Recommended builds? e: I also felt real  when I dodged Nova's ult with Blink and killed her when fighting over a map objective.

Is account level just the combined level of all your characters? Also is Tyrande good? I got a skin for her last night and I've decided that I'm just going to play whoever I have cool stuff for right now. I also got a chariot that looks like it's straight out of Kirby, so that's awesome.

Thanks for the advice on Tyrande. Looks like I may just be best off sticking to playing her when partied with others. I'm absolutely going to play her in pubs

dont even fink about it posted:Tyrande is good as long as you don't try to play her as a support. Just pretend you are Raynor with a heal basically? I don't remember anything about Raynor but that sounds like something I can manage since I think he's the starter hero

Tyrande trip report from last night: it took me a few games to really get in a groove but after a while I felt like I was really getting the hang of her. I had a game that went so well that when I started the next match someone on my team actually remembered me and complimented me for destroying them last game  Also I sniped someone across the map  I think next I'm going to work on Vallah because I have her deputy skin and I apparently played her a lot when the game first came out because she's my highest level character.

Avalerion posted:Yea both qm and hero league should stay. Don't see much point to unranked draft though since that's just like hero draft without the rewards. So that's what I'd change to something between the two. It's good for practicing new stuff like it's ranked but without the pressure of it being ranked. Not exactly the same thing but when I used to play dota if I was in ranked I felt like I needed to stick to the things I know because if I gently caress up it's not just my ranking that goes down but my whole team's. In unranked that's not there.

Nephzinho posted:Part of getting really good at Tyrande is knowing the pathing on every map. That is, assume the person you're chasing is running towards their nearest fountain/otherwise safe area and knowing exactly what path the game is going to take them via so you know exactly where to drop your E, or which bottleneck to send your owl during (and when). Yeah you can just follow up on other people's stuns and roots or whatever, but securing kills and landing the opening stun take a lot of practice. Tyrande hasn't seen significant changes in a while and pretty much comes into play with the meta here and there, but she has long been one of my favorite heroes and during 'stun meta' she is pretty much an instant pick for me. The stun is definitely the hardest for me to land but when I do hit one that leads to a kill it's super satisfying. Also I can sort of use it to herd people if I miss so that's nice.

Nephzinho posted:If you have the option it is sometimes worth over-leading the shot so that the person you're chasing has to choose whether to walk into it or juke it, slowing down enough to have the rest of your team catch them. Can also deter their teammates from trying to cover the escape. The only thing that really bugs me on Tyrande is her wave clear is nonexistant, so if you're playing with pubbies and are the only one left alive, it can be incredibly hard to cover lanes effectively and make up the lost XP or cover a pushing merc. Yeah, the stun sort of helps there since it's AoE but it's not great. Early game I'll stick in lane to soak but once I get to level 10 or so I try to just stick with the team. What ultimate do you recommend for her? I switched between the two but couldn't decide which was better.

I tried a heavy defense build for Artanis last night and now I don't understand why anyone would ever play him differently. Though now I have to decide if I want to keep playing him enough to drop half my gold on him.

SKULL.GIF posted:No I mean we crushed them like seashells beneath our heels. Cho'Gall couldn't get near Leoric without his health dropping like a rock, and since this was Braxis Holdout, that meant they could never really contest the two beacons. We got three straight 100-0s and won in like ten minutes. Were we in the same stack? Had that happen in one of my games last night and it was hilarious. Exploding bone armor talent against chogall is also fun since it does damage based on max health. Also to piggyback off the Hanamura sapper discussion earlier (I didn't know Hanamura had that), I also learned last night that the siege units on Towers of Doom will damage the core if they get all the way through.

SKULL.GIF posted:Yes I was, and that Towers of Doom game was especially good because of the big turnaround we had. Yeah, that game was super good. Crazy what happens when a team actually starts working together  I'm a little sad that I have to decide between "having Xul" and "having gold" now, though.

Are pushers like Xul and Sylvanas good in ranked if I just want to spend the whole game being an rear end in a top hat that focuses on pushing lanes where everyone isn't? Or is that mainly a QM thing that's been working for me because I'm with a coordinated goon team?

I suppose I need to put some time into Sylv now that my free Xul time is over.Lemon-Lime posted:You should not do this, and turn up to objectives/teamfights instead. I did do this too. But, especially early game, and depending on the map, sometimes I would push an objective with Xul because he can clear a wave in about a second and rack up a ton of XP that the enemy team isn't getting.

Random question but from playing DotA I've just been assuming the answer is yes: can enemy towers/forts see through stealth?

exquisite tea posted:I feel like Tyrande has been an eternally underrated hero ever since this game was in its infancy and now she's just gonna be ridiculous, definitely a first pick/ban for the foreseeable future. She was one of the first heroes I played when I started playing again after 2.0 and is still my only level 10 hero, and I've been wondering why more people didn't play her.

Coolness Averted posted:Because she still can't heal very well or mitigate damage and people lean on a support for that in QM. I used to like her a lot in the early days of HotS, back during the stun meta and then later when her global heal was amazing/she was admittedly broken. As is, she really struggles as a lone support, though has a drafting niche. If you're playing against a team that can dive or melt you before you get into range for her mark, you just wind up being a lovely assassin. Rework seems to be boosting her up to crazy damage. All I see here is "dummies didn't go full owl and are bad at skillshots"

I'm up to five heroes that I enjoy playing so I think I'm ready for the terror that is ranked play  I should probably learn a real support though since I play Tyrande like an assassin and I don't see that changing with the re-work.

beejay posted:Don't forget there are bans and of course up to 9 people picking before you, so be prepared in case you are that dreaded last of the last pick and your go-to heroes are not available.  Although to be fair I did say "that I like to play" and not "that I am able to play." Also I know for a fact that there are heroes that I haven't played yet that will be picked/banned before me if I'm picking at the end of a draft.
