I think there are still a pretty fair amount of key giveaways going on as well, most of the big streamers give them out all day (ZP's does, Liquid does, Grubby etc) and I believe NVidia just did a big giveaway as well. I'd keep your eyes open for a week or so and see if you can grab one.

Sup ZP's EG playing really good lately, agree with ZP almost every pro match you see Tyrande and/or Tass as well as Far Sight/Clairvoyance. You also see people get ganked early game constantly not paying attention to map. Out of position loses you the game most times if you get caught out late.

Feel free to add me if you want to group for games, I haven't been in HotS in the evenings lately but I'm on BNet or in Hearthstone or D3 and I'd gladly pop over to group for some games. I can definitely relate to what you guys are saying but I think it would help if we can put together a group...

I'm in this boat, been just full clearing rifts at T6 and leveling a new Monk heh.

Thanks for the heads up on oil rogue, wrecking shop tonight with it, not quite as good as miracle but still pretty fun.

Agree on that, Blackhearts is my least favorite by far and also seems to be the most PvE map out there as well.

I have the complete opposite experience with comebacks, they happen a lot where we get down early and end up winning games. Mures has the right idea in his scenario (and is also right that the general public doesn't get it yet) but you are much better off pushing objectives if you are behind...

I have no prior experience spectating esports to compare it to and I have also never played any other MOBA's (or RTS games for that matter) so I can only speak from a completely new or ignorant point of view but the more I watch HotS games the more I can appreciate some of the complexities to...

Fuck you Ramp Druid and Control Warrior!

Normal as far as I can tell, sometimes it just takes forever other times is quick.

Scavenging is a great card, and it can snowball really fast. However, silences are still in the meta right now so it's going to be a hit or miss card for you. It will snowball games and sometimes it will do nothing, there are more consistent cards for Hunter to use currently I would say. If you...

Bring 1 extra healer (usual rule of thumb is 1 heals per 5 so 15 man would have 3) makes it significantly easier.

I'll second this, Janx took me to 70 in like 30 minutes from 15 or so heh.

Is the 2h hierarchy still pretty set? Using a decent Maximus (~3300 dps or so) but I've looted maybe 4 or 5 2h's with more dps just not sure how to weigh the proc. Scourge, the IK 2h, an Executioner, Skorn's, and I think 1 more best of them is up around ~3600 dps or so.

Sith Warrior and Imperial Agenet generally agreed upon being the best stories in the game. Jedi Knight is also pretty good.

So for ancient weapons, is it worth swapping away from one of the better 2h to move over to 2 ancient 1h's? To my knowledge most of the classes are running 2h (Barbs anyway which is what I'm playing). Using a pretty solid Maximus (thanks Janx) but I do have 2 ancient 1h's - the set one and I...

@Neph Fan is a great player and does good videos, he is one of the few I like to check on every once in a while. RE: Tempo Storm they played pretty well the whole tournament, no one expected them to do anything and they beat 2 of EU's best (LDLC formerly WANP and El Nexo) and lost that 3rd...

When you land those moshes though, so good. Landed a 4 man one last night that won us the game, so satisfying. Diablo is better now, I really hate seeing him when I am on Illidan or on any map with a controlled mob (Dragonshire, Garden of Terror) he is so good at being disruptive.

I've been wanting to get better on Warriors myself, feeling pretty good on Valla, Illidan, and Tassadar. I like ETC as well and feel like I do ok, much better than Muradin (who I like a little more) but I am not comfortable at all on them, especially in QM's. It feels like I am never on the same...

I see him in the clan on D3 try and grab him there?

They actually didn't run symbiote, I thought they would as well.

I remember hearing there was a "hidden" mmr of sorts working even in casual but that was a really old discussion. Someone might have a link to an old blue post on it though.

Planetkey Semi's and Final's today, Abathur finally picked in a competitive match. LDLC (formerly WANP) running a crazy comp ETC, Illidan, Rehgar, Abathur, Tassadar. ::EDIT:: and they win with that comp, enemy comp was Stitches, Uther, Hammer, Valla, Malf (for silence). It was honestly pretty...

I'll toss these out as well just to fill out the more options Tank: ETC or Muradin - both very survivable and disruptive Support: LiLi, Uther, or Rehgar - like Draegan mentioned Tassadar and Tyrande are more of offensive second supports (I m a huge Tass fan though, hes fun) not a main healer...

He's been banned like all week in EU, I think he's a good pick for a first ban so you can get Stitches or Zeratul, although really there's only maybe 1 or 2 teams with really good Zera players (WANP at the top of that list, Blackscorp also terrifying on Illidan though). With this new sustain...

Sale items next week (in Euros lulz): Stitches -- Sale Price: ?4.99, ?3.69 GBP Explorer Li Li Skin -- Sale Price: ?3.69, ?2.70 GBP Shan'do Illidan Skin -- Sale Price: ?4.99, ?3.69 GBP Super bummed, bought that Illidan skin last week (best skin in the game!) since I didn't think it would...

Shout out to Janx for hooking me up with a powerlevel/geargrind last night, enjoying the Barb and watching him wreck shit with Raekor's has me excited to try it out. Got some great drops to start (as well as the gifted Maximus <3) almost para 400 on my non season monk and never saw the never die...

Let me know when you get back, I am the same in that I would much rather play even as a duo. Xith (and some others on my friends list) has been playing a lot of D3 and I keep missing Crazily online but if you want to set up specific times or whatever we can do that.

I have read about people having issues with smart cast but I believe the one that was the issue was cast on release. I also use smart cast and haven't seen any issues specific to that.

The last patch brought a performance hit I think, I know the last time I played QM/Hero I was streaming and it caused some idiot moments on Illidan with the lag.

This is my first MOBA so I can't really speak to how experience translates but I would guess you are going to have a leg up on most other players. Biggest differences I've heard are you don't ignore map objectives (you are almost always going to group as 5 and go after them no matter what...

I agree with all of that, Tempo seems to be far and away best team NA and BB seems to be the ones trying new things. EU side its hard to lock down a "best" team, there are so many that are competitive and as you said a lot of them pull out some really interesting comps/new ideas.

They didn't, but it was really close (I just watched the replays over lunch heh, good games). EU overall has been putting up some interesting team comps, I'm looking forward to the NA tourneys this week too see what comes up.

I agree on the cute part but it has looked hard to counter overall and the times I saw loses it wasn't because of Chen. I will say that most of the time the team running him has like no damage (they might have like, Nazeebo and Tyrande) so going for more of sustain I guess.

EU loves Chen this patch, been seeing him and Sonya in a lot of the ESL games and last weeks tournament as well.

I believe they said the lightning and heal nerfs were unintentional and should be getting reverted.

It's usually up on Reddit and Battle.net by Friday. This week is Rehgar on sale (going to be buying him for sure) skins are Commander Raynor and Storm Mantle Malfurion. Weekly Sale Items for Feb 17 - 23, 2015 - Forums - Heroes of the Storm

The biggest thing I've seen from streams/Reddit etc is that if you are queueing for Hero League you should be able to play all roles and own Heroes you are comfortable playing in all roles. Obviously most people are idiots so if you have Heroes that aren't considered top tier you might take some...

I like Chen, I suck hard with him but I think he can be good and is a fun concept. One of those heroes I will buy later and work on getting good with.

Did you take that? I served in Alaska with the guy pouring that smoothie, went to Afghanistan with him as well. Cool dude. Oblig
