Holy gently caress new Tyrande is awesome. The stun talent is ridiculous once you finish it, the range is like a full screen away. I went Lunar Blaze/Moonlit Arrows/Trueshot Aura/Shadowstalk/Harsh Moonlight/Mark of Mending/Iceblade Arrows, and it owned.

wiegieman posted:D.va is actually really good at pouncing on really low health targets trying to disengage. Boosters are incredible for getting around in a hurry, and the slowing defense matrix can keep them from escaping from your team. Yeah, I've had to play a lot more carefully when playing Valla or Chromie because a good D.Va will pounce on me and punish positioning mistakes like whoa.

Dota 2 has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can completely monetize a f2p game with hats alone, so there is literally no justification anymore for having to buy heroes at all.

Poultron posted:Feel free to take this with a grain of salt seeing as I've said before I really don't like D.Va as a character, but hearing it on Grubby's stream at one point it's quite boring. I didn't really hear many unique/funny/cool lines at all (not by opinion, I mean it was just all standard stuff). As someone who does like D.va as a character and slam-crafted it day one, I actually kinda regret it. I'm kinda migrating back to Gazlowe on most heroes, tbh.

That's part of why I don't play draft modes - every time I've tried to play a warrior, it's gone horribly, so I avoid scenarios where I might end up as one.

Maybe he'll be more interesting in practice/while playing him, but he seems kinda boring from the skill descriptions. Also Last Rites sounds basically like Reaper's Scythe.

Honestly depending on the range, I think Last Rites will be the better ult. Being able to put a two-second "heal or die" sentence on anyone under 33% seems good.

bamhand posted:Keep in mind it's not just heal or die if you're under 33%, it's a 50% damage (and healing) amp for those 2 seconds. In addition to whatever health they were missing prior to the cast. Huh, that's not indicated anywhere.

bio347 posted:Well, it's just a function of the ability. "Take 50% of your missing health in damage" means that any damage done (after it's applied but before it goes off) is effectively boosted by 50% because it counts toward "missing health". Oh, right, I getcha. An effective amp, not an actual amp.

Last Rites doesn't just heal you for 100% of the damage dealth, but its current and future cooldown reduction bonuses are doubled Yeah, but I think it has some kind of buggy interaction with past stacks or something, because someone on reddit posted a picture of it having zero cooldown.

wiegieman posted:You take it when there's a ganker like Zeratul/Samuro/Valeera on the opposing team so that you can peace out instead of getting killed over and over. Yeah, and generally I only take it if there's two because careful trap coverage/smart Timewalker's Pursuit usage can usually deal with one. It's absolutely invaluable in the situations where it's needed, though.

p-hop posted:Blizz had that in WC3 too. The HotS map pool is smaller than either of the RTS map pools though, isn't it? Maybe if we had a few more maps it would be enough not to slow down queue times too harshly, especially if you want to play the Bad Map that everyone always downvotes. Admittedly, HotS has more maps than WoW has battlegrounds, and WoW has a two-map veto.
