    Ah ok I wasn't sure if there was a definitive series like Long Halloween for Dent but for that storyline. I only watched Year One and didn't read it but I don't recall that storyline but it has also been a while.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Zags would probably be better than Nazeebo. Probably Zag + Azmo pushing lanes then have 3 real heroes like Thrall, Stitches, Uther. -edit- Actually I wonder of Thrall/Arthas would be a sick combo. Thrall's biggest issue is staying on a target and Arthas refuses to let targets get away.

    Whats the comic book storyline that explores this? I'm interested to read it.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Sometimes for certain objectives sometimes not for others. On Raven if I notice the team abandons all lanes to get the first tribute I prefer to stay in lane instead of engage a 5v5 at tribute and hopefully have someone poke and disrupt their obtaining the tribute to delay as long as possible...

    Yeah Sierra was godly. My neighbor worked for them as a developer and he could get me any of their titles for $11. So I'd mow his lawn and he'd bring me home 2 computer games. Was a sweet deal. He'd constantly bring me home alpha builds of various games back when CD-R's were still really new...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Also in response to the last hitting aspect. Personally I feel the lane phase of this game is heavily unexplored. Even at the top level of the game. For the most part people are so eager to team fight and engage the enemy I'm not sure if that is even the optimal response. I think there is a...

    Heroes of the Storm

    You get XP for towers/keeps/forts so taking lanes does give you some experience. You can argue if it is enough or not but mercs do give some XP benefit by their natural push.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Thrall requires babysitting on both sides of the coin. If he doesn't receive defensive cooldowns from his support he just immediately explodes. If he isn't the target of priority by the other team then other team explodes. For the most part he lacks good lane presence because he doesn't have...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Once Arthas gets rune tap he can solo mercs fairly easily. If you upgrade E at 13 you can solo them even easier. Taking double frostmourne at 16 makes you a champ. Full auto attack Valla can solo mercs pretty easily and walk away full HP as well. Personally I find mercs vastly overrated...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Generally tank players -- at least competent tanks -- are usually more progression minded than your average idiot DPS. It isn't shocking most mythic guilds are already set on their MT/OT but need other roles. Probably doesn't help basically every fight in HM is just 2 tank rotations.

    Heroes of the Storm

    If the other team is letting Thrall free jungle that is on the other team. Or if Thrall is not engaging lanes then there should be implications on those lanes. A simple Clairvoyance should shut down solo junglers pretty heavily.

    Yes I keep a T3 inn on my warrior and probably my monk as well. Getting those 100g/250g missions is a nice little source of income.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Also on the TeamLiquid thread for this game they're 100% convinced Thrall is the most OP hero to ever walk the Earth. Personally I think the people complaining must just be trash-tier players (the two I've played with who complain the most ARE trash tier) because he is the most easily countered...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Also thread I gave ETC a few games last night. He is much better than I thought he was and probably around the same as Muradin -- obviously each hero has different upside/downside -- but still worse than Arthas/Tyreal/Stitches.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Many people complain about the prices and I'm not sure if Blizzard is feeling them out or if is what they are going to be. I will say for a game like this it is somewhat rare to see skins in the game. For an average game I'd say maybe 2-3 heroes per 10 have a skin. I don't know how LoL is...

    Had fun tonight guys. We should make this a thing the game is far more enjoyable with people to communicate to instead of madly pinging.

    Heroes of the Storm

    Tassadar is only a support as legacy from when he actually was a support. Early in the alpha he was redesigned to his current kit and is more an assassin. He still has his shield which is very nice but he isn't a true support by any means.

    Heroes of the Storm

    He was very popular for a while then get nerfed. I never played him in the first place so I don't recall exactly what happened but I think they made it so you can't chug for infinite shields. I know they also made it so his split has a small wind-up time but that seems fairly inconsequential.

    Heroes of the Storm

    The weird thing is SC2 has what I consider a near perfect ladder. Not sure why they took Hearthstone's and plugged it into Heroes instead of SC2's. Maybe SC2's ladder is less casual friendly, dunno.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I probably have about 35k between my rogue and war. The first batch of money my war made went into my rogue for his belt and trinket. Now that I'm back to 30k I can invest that into my monk. I get money then I spend money.

    Hm I'm not sure if I recommend skipping the bonus quests. The quicker you get to 100 the quicker you can substitute quest XP for gold. But I'm poor enough for that to matter most are not.

    Amazon Echo - no thread yet?

    It has a much better speaker than your phone which you'd have to dock/plug in to an actual output. If it had Spotify hooked into it I would consider purchasing it. But I'm still not convinced it really has much of a purpose.

    I've never heard of any company regardless of what they're selling that buys out another company and lets it run mostly autonomously. They always install their corporate standards and culture at said bought out company.

    The Beer Thread

    I wonder if they're more scared of the future of their brew than the current picture. I know very few young people who do not drink micro. Even towards the latter part of my college life (~7 years ago) it was pretty common for people to bring a 6 pack of a micro instead of a 24 pack of Natty...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Like I've said before most heroes in this game aren't so terrible you can't make them work if you're better than the other team. Not like ranked play follows a strict meta or anything but at higher level play eraser comps are pretty common. ETC isn't very good against these comps so he doesn't...

    ETC lacks Spell Shield making him an ideal Nova target. Tanks with access to block and spell shield generally ruin Nova's day.

    Heroes of the Storm

    His escape is a short slide away. That pales in comparison to Muradin's leap, worse than Arthas' W when used to disengage and worse than Tyrael's sword teleport. It doesn't go far enough to reliably disengage from slows/roots/stuns so it usually means if you get caught out chances are you are...

    This was about the most predictable episode I've ever watched. Going into this episode the one and only thing I didn't want to happen was Fish escaping but, honestly, everyone knew it was going to happen. Why is security so fucking relaxed in these places? Fish's muscle just waltzes into the...
