    DOTA 2

    Had been playing a lot of HotS with some friends. Took a break from it and played a DOTA game...Goddamn DOTA is such an infinitely better game.

    I posted the warlock one I was using. I've been considering some changes, in particular, dropping 2 low low end minions and adding a 2nd spellbreaker and a Nerubian Unraveller. Here it is again: ### SwarmLock # Class: Warlock # Format: Standard # Year of the Mammoth # # 2x (1) Acherus...

    I never loved Innervate. I really only wanted it to reach to either innervate earlier, or to cast things after I Ultimated.

    How to handle a bad VP

    I've always had horrible HR. I've been a senior manager for many years...There is no hippocratic oath for HR. You might be an amazing HR professional...But that is an exception, not a rule. Also, I viewed this thread as being from the employee side of the equation...It is very scary to deal...

    How to handle a bad VP

    HR and Management will lie to you if it protects the company interests. HR has no vested interest in your well being, only in the corporate well-being. That is the truth.

    I've been around the block on these HR knife fights a number of times. They are just mitigating the settlement pricetag. Your part is done...Just stay the fuck out of it.

    Jade is a problem, but not nearly the shit show that will result when Priest is ascendant. Level 10-15 is a shitshow of control priest variants.

    Hearthstone

    Most decks can't be built around a single minion...Unless they are OTK like a Maly/Velen deck. You can build a high value deck with Moorabi, but don't get hung up on him...Because he really isn't that good.

    [LCG] Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game (Fantasy Flight Games)

    Got 3 copies of the base set at GenCon...They pulled the same shenanigans with this that they have with all the 'living' card games...You need three copies of the base to be able to build complete decks.

    The I don't think there is a credible 'pro player' of any stripe on staff at Blizzard. They consistently show a lack of understanding of their own game. Additionally, they must have the worst fucking playtesters...Ever.

    No, just a demo only copy. It was kinda rough. The TI4 copy at Gencon also had a little card to send in for a copy of TI4 rules in hardcover. I wasn't going to get it, but changed my mind when I saw that. GenCon was awesome, as always. In my mind, there was no new "big game" this year...

    Ok...Playing the Hearthstone Tourney at GenCon. Lets game out what I should pick for my three decks. My thoughts were Jade Druid, Murloc Paly, and Warlock. Warrior and Hunter are both thoughts as well.

    Hearthstone

    Elemental Mage isn't terrible, but its too slow. I just don't think the Mage deck has emerged yet. I thought a burn version of mage could be viable, but there is just so much goddamn armour in the set. The comebacks are real. I have been fucking around with trick decks...I'll get serious...

    Just my two cents...Meta is key here. Do not play control Paladin from rank 5-15. There is so much priest from 15-10 it is insane.
