I got some nice stuff I wanted out of chests and then also got a lot of thrall skins. I have so many thrall skins now Its nice seeing lots more skins in-game now. Before you'd usually see maybe 1 or 2 skins in a match, now almost everyone has one.

It's just as funny to interrupt a genji's voice line by killing him mid-dragonblade activation in hots as it is in overwatch

frakeaing HAMSTER DANCE posted:I love Tassadar, but I feel bad queuing for QM with him because he's the the equivalent to a healer The new QM rules with sonya/varian/tass/tyrande are really bad and I wish they'd revert them because it was more fun having sonya vs a tank then sonya vs an assassin. Varian counting as an assassin is real dumb because they almost always go tank build when that happens and there's very little you can do about it.

Gustav posted:Heroes like Varian just fundamentally poo poo all over all the QM matchmaking rules. Even if they only allowed Varian vs Varian mirrors you'd still have the same problem every time one of them specs Taunt and the other doesn't. It kind of sucks because there isn't really a great solution for QM matchmaking rules just because QM is always going to be a crapshot. Lots of people play the mode though so ideally they should revert the rules changes for sonya/tassadar and maybe tyrande too. Varian is always going to be a problem so the only sensible solution there is if someone queues into QM as varian he just automatically gets slotted into matches where everyone else is a stealth hero also instead of ever putting more than 1 stealth hero on a team it should just make them play in stealth heroes only matches

Mind over Matter posted:Cassia is very fun and of course I'm not very good at her either. I got her out of a loot box and I'm enjoying her more than I thought I would. Lightning ball ult is just really fun to use. What are her good builds? I've been primarily doing a Q build with sometimes doing a blind heavy build if the enemy team is mostly auto attackers.

I like the start of the round slap-fight in middle because its great for getting some easy stacks on level 1 quests that need you to hit heroes. And then if you quickly transition to another lane when the fight quickly winds down you can get some extra exp over the enemy team when they stick around too long in mid.

Modest Mouse cover band posted:Why do I keep picking bans in this game? I literally have no idea what I'm doing because I have like an hour playtime under my belt. I think I'm 4/4 on being the ban picker dude. I might be mis-remembering but I think it gives the person with the highest rating on the team Ban powers. Which if true makes me like getting ban powers even less because it means the system thinks everyone on my team is worse than me, and that's not an inspiring thought.

If you can manage to not slam out "gg" in chat after your first death as a stealth player you're already well ahead of most of them.

HelixFox posted:I tried that Auriel cooldown reduction on Q build and thought it was pretty sick. Hitting 3 heroes is no cooldown so you can spam it all day for tons of damage. However, we lost the game because my teammates decided my build sucked and wanted to talk about that instead of play. People were really upset that I was taking resurrection last night. Each one of them would bitch endlessly until I used it on them and then that individual person would stop bitching about it for the rest of the match.

I'm glad QM is a pre-pick disaster zone because sometimes I really just want to play the one specific hero over and over again without having to listen to slam-pick genjis complaining about the team comp I also enjoy the weird rear end team comps you get most of the time

None of the stealth dudes are fun to play against so just remove all the stealth from each of em and gently caress it don't replace it with anything Staring at the ground watching for a shimmer so you can ping to try and get your teammate's attentions which they will ignore and get ganked by zeratul anyways isn't fun gameplay

Gazlowe's power spike at 20 when you take upgraded robo-goblin never fails to catch a few people off guard in the next team fight when you murder them and steal their stereos.

Martian Buddy posted:Related to Hanamura, how are TLV on that map? Since just looking at it it seems like their kind of map for TLV brand bullshit but I haven't been able to get on and test it. In the few matches I've seen TLV on hanamura they have been really strong. Each viking counts as a body for pushing carts so they can push one or both carts by themselves while the rest of the team contests the enemy payload or pushes down forts.

I've been having really good luck playing supports on Hanamura. I think strong support play can carry that map well because there are so many small skirmishes you can tilt in your favor. Auriel in particular I've been having good success with.

Actually since sonya-smart people are posting right now what's the best use of her fury? I assume in a gob of heroes during a team fight its best to just use whirlwind. But when is it better to use slam vs whirlwind?

Bogart posted:I was surprised to see the Icy Veins guide to building Gazlowe differed so much from my own. I need to test out the lazor build and the one IV recommends, but this is my general thought-process. I usually take Break it Down > Ark Reaktor > Engine Gunk > RoboGoblin > Xtra Large Bombs > Kwik Release > MechaLord I've had some success with lazer build when they have a lot of really squishy people that you can punish easily with the long lazer range (usually only in QM). The Dimensional ripper at 13 is decent because it turns you into a mini sylvanas and you can shut down forts/keeps for your team to push with. You also dont have to charge it at all to get the slow effect so you can just quickly blast people to slow them a bunch.

PureRok posted:I spent quite a lot of time laning in a Hanamura match (as per the plan between me and my friend) as Xul. That isn't to say I didn't help at team fights when necessary, but one pub got super butthurt that I wasn't constantly at every payload push. I've seen Xul's who push really hard consistently perform pretty well on that map. It seems really easy for him to quickly push down forts and get the extra core damage.

Nephzinho posted:They've already said Fenix is going to have a death mechanic, there was an interview shortly after Leoric where they talked about wanting to space Fenix out from him so that people didnt' feel like they were too similar. I imagine we won't get Fenix for quite a while since we just got Dva who's got a death mechanic to change forms thing going on. I guess it makes since for them to use it on Dva since I imagine way more people know who she is these days vs a starcraft 1 dude.

A pro tip for potential alarak players, bind self cast W to a side mouse button or something easy to hit. When you self cast telekinesis it always casts on you in the direction you are moving. It makes it so you can always use it to scoot yourself in the direction you're already going 100% of the time without having to worry about dragging the mouse or miss-aiming.

Alarak seems like the kind of dude who has incredible power and only uses it to gently caress around to get on everyone's nerves so maybe he was role-playing

I had a really bizarre QM game on Hanamura that was 2 tanks, 2 support, medivh vs 3 tanks, 1 support, cassia. It was a ton of fun because the fights never ended and by the time you'd kill one person the last person you killed had already respawned and rejoined the fight. It was just a non-stop brawl that came down to 1-1 core health and was decided by who won the fight over the boss. It was also the easiest game of Medivh I've ever played and I think I had master's touch finished by level 8.

exquisite tea posted:Talent choices are probably way overemphasized ahead of the many other reasons why teams lose, which mainly comes down to dying before an objective, dying unnecessarily during a retreat, dying while on defense. Basically, dying. *2 people die dicking around near an enemy keep by themselves 20 minutes into the game while the entire enemy team is up* *objective spawns* *both people ping DEFEND HERE repeatedly at the objective*

IcePhoenix posted: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? Against anyone with map awareness they will spot you doing that and their team will just rotate to gank you constantly.
