Heroes of the Storm

I like that they put different skins on the AI, it's good marketing and pretty cool to see some of the ones you rarely (or never) see.

Diablo is in a good spot though. With the reduced CD on Apoc going BO on him isn't mandatory allowing you to take the 150 souls talent so you can be even tankier. Or take BO and just cast Apoc all the time. I ran him last night with the following build in a support-less pub and really liked it.

I'm 0/5 on the new map lol.

New map is stupid.

???

Its blackheart bay done correctly!
Lots of skirmishes all over the map, gotta keep lane control, more than 1 turn in point for stones.
In blackhear they turn in and youre well, we're fucked, lets watch our forts get blown up while we cant do shit about it. At least here you can stop the spider pushes.

/shrug, i like it.

This matchmaking is a bummer. I keep dominating but having really shitty teammates.

Yea, I like it more than the pirate map. If the pirate map had the ship spawn in an area where you had to attack/defend it from auto destroying everything I think it would be more enjoyable.

I'm actually tearing it up right now. SGT. Hammer is a beast. She's super fun to play too.

Played some murky last night for the first time. Was actually pretty fun. I think I was effective? Usually led in seine by a wide margin. First or second in xp, usually end or 3rd in hero damage.

How do people play him? I usually go enhanced slime route with Bribe. Seemed like most his talents were shit.

It seems most people prefer Pufferfish route. Go increased area, slime on landing and +dmg to slimed targets. Throw down the fish and Octograb an opponent. You can solo a fair number of heroes going that build and also does good team fight.

Getting my ass beat today. I really hate the map with the mine as it totally favors melee/assassin. Playing a ranged specialist there is a nightmare.

Sylvanas is like straight broken on mines

I also disagree and think ranged is really good on that map

Where is everybody getting their keys from? I need to find one for a friend

PM me for some keys. I have 4.

Really liking Uther's changes, mostly Benediction. Love being a burst healer. The level 20 rez talent feels like noob bait though since you're always in the back and aren't likely to die first.

The re-rez made sense when Uther's primary job was to run in and Divine Hurricane and probably die immediately. Anymore that isn't really his job so yeah not sure on the point.

I tried to run auto-attack Valla and now I remember why I never went that build. I was getting blown up left and right. I may just go back to W with like Searing at 7 or soemthing.

This was basically what every Valla (still 100% pick or ban, most of the time still 1st pick at that) was doing all weekend in the pro scene, either searing or hungering reset on vault @7 and the rest all W still.

Also, the rez was used as a defense tool/deterrent kind of like Diablo's souls to play more aggressive or protect more since they would come right back (think that talent was picked almost every time fwiw) new Uther looked crazy good, pretty sure he looked like the best healer by far with proper team build and divine shield.

Without BM I should be spamming fewer W's and using SA to try and blow up a target better. In general after a fight Valla should be OOM and B'ing back to base anyways so that particiular playstyle shouldn't be altered.
