    Heroes of the Storm

    Thinking about DunkTrain's comment here on game 2 vs DK (Derek Arabian on Twitter:) I'm new to the MOBA scene and Abathur's split pushing did seem pretty ridiculous in their match. However, I'd argue that DK didn't react quickly enough against it and kept trying to force team fights against a...

    The problem with 2Fort and other CTF games, IMO, is that both sides have a flag to protect. The game had a tendency to devolve into deathmatch or just outright end without anyone trying to stop the Scout in the sewers. I like that the maps in Overwatch are attack/defend, it gives a different...

    It's implied in your post, but white and dark need different temps (145 and 165). Do you have two circulators, cooler method for one, or are you going to just do them one after the other?

    I assume you can hook Bastion as a turret, but can you hook Torbj?rn's turret?

    I like how the minion has taunt so you can't ignore him and go for your partner's face. I doubt they put silence in the decks too. I suppose if you're the priest, you can always just not heal your partner, but that's not as fun griefing-wise

    I guess I was right, a minion that switches sides every turn. Should be an interesting brawl

    So the stats are nice, but I don't quite get the purpose of the Synergies/Counters/Countered by section at the end. He can debuff for 150% damage, so any damage class should be on the 'synergies' list, he can only heal one person so any tank should be there too. His debuff is good against tanks...

    Class restrictions sounds like something the competitive community would have to come up with and police themselves in the future. I wouldn't want Blizzard to futz around with requiring compositions in game.

    A good guide on the push build that Tenks linked

    Disagree. A good Abathur will soak / push lanes while the rest of the team is getting the objective. At 10 Ultimate Evolution is great for evening out teamfights. He can scout enemy rotations or mercing with his mines. And mule is a great talent. He doesn't need a particular comp to do well.

    Definitely sucks to hear. They looked pretty good against DK though, so hopefully they can keep it together once Blizzcon kicks off.

    Damn, Clockwork is good at Tracer. I like the triple blink across the roof and how his 21 kill streak gets ended by Tigole on Zarya.

    Yeah, solo Leoric seemed like a pretty bad choice on their part. What drama is going on? Kinda sucks to think that one of the USA's best teams could implode

    Went to bed and missed the last match in the TS vs DK series the other night. Looked like a close one up until that last team fight at the boss.

    I wouldn't call the show horrible and it definitely isn't the greatest thing on TV. But I still find it pretty amusing for the most part. Also, what's wrong with Eddie?

    The point made earlier was that if Fitz could modify a cell phone battery to last for that long, he's in the wrong business and should be making bank selling batteries. It's a stupid argument though. This is the same universe as Iron Man, the Hulk, and Thanos. I'm just picking on this episode...

    I remember this song being dirtier. The line 'and in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle your rear' is probably the worst, so I guess I've been desensitized since this song came out in 1989.

    I don't think Pharrah will be nerfed. She can put out a crap ton of damage if you can flank the other team. But she exposes herself so much with her flight you have to be pretty judicious on when to use it, otherwise you'll just be dirtnapping.

    No doubt. And he puts out YouTube vids daily; all of which get 250k views. But he's a part of that .001% of streamers / YouTubers

    The thing about YouTube vids is that they don't make themselves and they take work to get a decent production quality. Personally though, I'll watch a decent YouTuber over their stream as the dead air time is usually edited out

    Still kinda wondering how that'll work with the current UI. My best guess is that he's a minion that swaps to your enemy's position every turn so you can attack him with minions. But if it works like that, then how would the boss be casting spells or anything as what exactly would his 'turn' be...

    Really? I mean, they take their time to do ban waves, but they usually come. The fact that everything you do in Battle.net is tied to their servers I would think makes things easier for them to take action. Was there a SC2 map hack that went unpunished? I know that for WoW, D3, and Hearthstone...

    Numbered to give my overall experience as a noob to this genre. 1) I think the frustrating thing about the current ladder is a point that was made earlier: this game is so team based, it can be a detriment to solo queue. I played a crap ton this weekend on solo queue ranked and only got +1...
