All Tracer on Hanamura, you start at level 10, and it's accelerated (4x core damage from payloads and 4x core health, but every kill on an enemy also does one core damage). Pretty fun, lots of skirmishing and poo poo.

A hypothetical map veto would probably work the same way it does in Rocket League: you only get to veto at most a few maps.

Yeah, like, WoW has 11 battlegrounds and you only get to veto two.

i liked auriel before, but i like her even more now. and her new skin is great. also loot crates and more incremental progression is tickling my lizard brain better than before.

also i got a spray of lili sipping tea like the kermit meme.

Yeah, seriously, Auriel is dope as gently caress now. Played with some friends in a 5-stack as Varian/Johanna/Auriel/Malf/Greymane and just slaughtered.

edit2: Since Genji is 750 gems, is it safe to assume D.Va will be as well? I have the 1000 right now and plan on getting her the day she comes out

Yeah, IIRC new heroes were always $10 when they came out, and that's 750 gems in the 2.0 paradigm. I'm saving my 1000 gems for her as well.

I mean, that's better than the 5-assassin deathmatch nonsense that usually gets bitched about. Yeah, it's triple support, but all three supports are pretty good damage too, and Arthas is a sufficient frontliner.

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.

Similarly, it allows you to practice drafting and poo poo before you have enough heroes for ranked, which was an issue for me for ages.

Yeah, if you already have all your bases covered either pick the one that has the most champions you don't own (best value) or the one that has the most champions you want to play (FUN VALUE).

Yeah, I snagged the Assassin one because I'd already been looking at buying either Gul'dan or Valla with gold, so when the pack was like "hey, you can have both of those, plus some other stuff", I was sold. :v:

Gul'Steve is the most fun I've had in this game, full stop. No other champion is even close. A shame he only has one ultimate, but it's actually a pretty good one. I don't know if the build I run is even "good" but man is it fun.

Is the quest that makes Corruption bounce back 3 additional times the best level 1 talent? I always run that, improved Life Tap, healthstone, that one that makes Fel Flame lower corruption cooldown, and the bonus damage for each hit corruption lands, and the Horrify talent that makes it reduce armor.

I tend to go between Corruption build like you describe and Fel Flame build. Really depends on if my team needs waveclear or not.

The Gazlowe Announcer is not only real good but its made me miss less talent picks during a fight because whenever you hit a talent level gazlowe yells HEY PICK A TALENT

His durability is hard to predict. For the first 25% of his health, his HP bar falls dramatically so it's easy (for sub-Plat players) to miscalculate how easily they can take him down. Attack the "low" HP Artanis! He's almost dead!

I do this all the loving time, and it's been one of the biggest holes in my game that I'm trying to fix. :argh:

nope, i actually came here to bitch about this, because i just had three games in a row with varian on one team and no tank on the other, and he went shield build and absolutely crushed us with no counterplay possible all three times

gently caress varian. if you queue in QM with him and the other team has no warrior shield should be greyed out

Even without taking Taunt at 10, he's still a hard to kill son of a bitch if he just goes parry talents at 1/4/7. Had a QM match where we got blown the gently caress up by a Colossus Smash Varian who went all in on parry poo poo pre-10 and then just deleted people.

Why doesn't the matchmaker just have Varian count as a warrior/tank/whatever? Seems weird that it doesn't.

Because then the flip side is "my team with a varian got matched up with a team with a real warrior, and he took damage talents and twin blades of fury". It's a really difficult thing to fix.

If I like Li-Ming in this game, and Lux in league, will I like Chromie? She looks like a similar Land All Your Skillshots for Big Burst hero

She's kinda similar to Li-Ming, but with both extreme ends even moreso. If the enemy team has no cleanse you can absolutely delete people from existence with a R->W->Q combo, but you have to play even safer than you do on Li-Ming because your only escape are your time traps. Her teamfight and burst potential is bonkers, especially if you stay safe and shell from afar.

Chromie talk: I love going Q build. Level 1614 CDR and level 20 18 double shots mean the enemy team can't win drawn-out fights. Since Q distance is farther than W distance, it's a safer build too.
