Fan confirmed that the plan currently is for udall to move to melee and fan to ranged. He cited shotcalling being easier on melee so it's possible plan is for Udall to be the shotcaller going forward.
Edit: just confirmed Udall going to main shotcall.

Damn that's pretty lame. They got three warriors and you got 0 lol.
That was the second match against a three warrior to zero in a row.
Quick match is awful.

Rosterpocalypse 3, electric boogaloo!
Wonder if we'll see the same EU side. I doubt Team Liquid will change, but we may see some shifts elsewhere. There's a *lot* of former big name players still around playing and competing in the amateur leagues. Does Aethero even have a team right now?

Athero is near confirmed to replace Blade on Team Expert.
I'd not expect a big shuffle until after the crucible as there's considerable talent among them.
I'm not sure what Liquid needs. Bakery said they stagnated but imo they dropped the ball. He's right that whether they change their rosters or try to improve together they have it in them to be number 1 in phase 2.
If there were roster changes I'd look to pickup a German support player solely because switching their team communication to German could be a considerable improvement for them.

Quickmatch at 5AM, not recommended. Legitimately some of the worst players I've ever seen. I murdered their entire team all game and my team decided to follow that up with sitting in lanes and not doing the objectives and dying over and over until we lost. The enemy team was just free pushing our keep mid (not even with spiders, just auto attacking our shit) and my team was just laning by themselves, ignoring it. Wonderful stuff, would play again.
Also, new Alarak is insaaaaaaaaaaaane

Some clean gaf stacks tonight boys.
Yeah except that nearly throw on hanamura because I took one step too far and got cocooned. Was very close to being snowballed from there.
========
Normally I don't encourage this sort of behavior but the face at the end had me in stitches.
Played some Murky since he's free, Bribe on Hanamura is all kinds of stupid. I get how to use the character now but I don't think he's particularly fun.
Got a few more Abathur games in and some of the advice I got here really helped. Instead of just helping out with teamfights I took a more global approach and constantly moved the symbiote around to clear waves and soak XP. I used the monstrosity instead of the clone and it seems really strong, I like that I can have it push a lane for a bit while I help my team then go back to him and take control once it's built up some stacks.
I did also learn that if they have a Tyrande you need to watch out as that owl can easily kill you from across the map. I was very confused when that happened, still won and got MVP though.

This video is really cool. Somebody made a TOP 5 moments of HGC casts up to now. There were a lot of moments to choose from but those were indeed great ones to rewatch.
Ugh. A good Abathur is few and far between and he's been popping up a lot more recently. I've also noticed a ton more streamers taking Aba + Mont lately and guess what people in pleb land are doing? Taking mont.
I'll watch it later, I've only used it once and have always picked the clone instead because it just seemed obviously better. But quick match seems to treat Abathur like a support and as the only 'healer', half the time I feel like I want to take the healing/shielding talents for symbiote. Which means that as soon as I stop babysitting my teammates they get themselves killed - and when you're controlling the clone, you can't be moving the symbiote around.
But yeah I outhealed the other team's support last time I was 'support Abathur'. I'll probably play him a bit more - I've been working on getting everyone to 5, and there's a short list of heroes I want to take to 10. I was surprised at how much fun I had on Abathur and Rexxar in particular.
Hat build is the build now and you can put hat on monstrosity and a hat'd monstrosity can solo arthas.
But clone is still way better cus you gotta win fights.

Speaking of outhealing supports I did like 40k healing with tyrande last night, felt good.
I hate her Q though, with the cdr it's up constantly but the requirement of attacking, while point and click healing, while running around is tiresome to say the least. You almost have to count cds like Illidan in your head. Also don't forget to predict the opponents and set up kills with E and D and stacking Ws.

Her E quest is so rewarding. The sentinels on the other hand scale weirdly, the first 8 you have to throw out w/o caring for the target as long as you hit someone and then you can actually try to target someone with them.
That's what I'm saying. Mont is like a win-more heroic, and in my experiences we're hardly ever ahead at the time since Aba's pre-10 is pretty booty buttcheeks and you're counting on that clone.
But nah, let me split push.
Mont can do some ridic damage if people are dumb enough to stand in it (See: Ketch), but it takes too long to move around and you'd have to take the 20 upgrade to get it into TFs all the time.

Yea. It doesn't pop up with the big broken shield anymore like it used to.
It applies her lvl 13 w/ all pierced targets right? That def would require somme balancing if so
In general i feel like this rework is packed w/ good ideas, like the battle momentum for q at lvl 4 is such a great talent for a ranged healer.

it's part of her basic ability so even if it ignored other possible talents it should. It's why Harsh Moonlight is the highest picked ir highest winrate talent at that lvl.
It's the purple small shield next to the hp bar now right?
Yeh i just didnt know if it only applied to the first target hit, man that is insanely strong. It lasts 4 fucking seconds lmao

and that effect should stack with her nexus blade damage reduction.
I can't trust these reddit rumours at all, they just manifest out of thin air and take on a life of their own.
Did Zoia appear like K1 and Caff were moving on from BStep?
Wonder why you're so triggered by Abathur. Even yesterday you were throwing a hissy fit.
feels like a sure thing to end in a disaster.

Caffeine makes about as much sense as any decent tank player in NA I don't understand K1Pro.
Package deal w/ caff, large pool and better player than khroen, and importantly lan and travel experience
The big thing is how seriously they take it, like yeah i dont really believe khroen was "not putting as much effort" or whatever but i sure as hell dont think caff/k1 will lol
