started messing around with Brightwing, seems fun, although the games havent been the best to experiment her.
First was a complete blowout, 10min braxxis win. Second game we have, a stiches, azmo, li li, bwing (me) and muted Abathur that turned into bot abathur at the start of the game, vs Stiches, Bwing, Kael, Valla (lol) and Chen. Just no chance at all. And a third game just now, Hanamura, good game, we are always ahead of the game but not the points, those are even, we are 2 - 2 in health, we get bot fort, all good our next shot is 2...
...except 2 of them decide to go for boss, for whatever reason since the boss is 1 point and we already had 2 on the next payload, 2 of them stay behind protecting the enemy car which we have been delaying forever, im split between what to do, I stay with boss since I was walking by when they decided to start the boss, we kill the boss but lose 1, meanwhile they killed our 2 defending the payload, they get OUR bot fort, hand in the payload, GG lol.
These games where you indentify the baffling bad play for no reason and youre left wondering "what was the thought process" are funny. But yeah, Bwing seems fun, and bribe from just passively healing is ridiculous
edit: oh and it's not Alur's 1000, but i'm pretty happy about this

Bad luck ranked matches today , not even chromie is helping me to pass trought silver III
Eh, Malthael looks like Leoric in essence, maybe thats why Blizzard decided to make leoric instead of Malthael

Polimorph is amazing.
yeah I wasnt sure if he meant plays like Leoric, because this looks nothing like the Skeleton King

ya the buff to that talent has made it the best choice in the tier, and a really powerful thing to have around when you're in a 1v1

They originally planned for Malthael to have Leoric's trait but then settled on adding Leoric to the game instead. Probably because they were making a push for Warriors at the time which were almost as lacking as supports.
and it synergizes with mystical spear too.

I mean in essence because mathel phasing, an unstopable attack and have the death tematic.
It would be cool to see him in HOTS
Here's a requested example for Proto. Imagine that damage back to the boss. You just need two people to soak and wait until cooldown for reflect.
You guys weren't kidding when you said Genjo is hard. Just getting used to stutter step with him is already a chore.

I tried Illidan for the first time last night and he's super fun. I need to scrounge up some coins to buy him.
Also, I can understand why the game has such a lopsided representation of Warcraft heroes but going forward, they should focus on other universes more. I really want a D2 Sorc or Assassin.

DS2 Sorcerer
was killed
I forgot about lightning treee, who used it anyway?
fuck me thats a lot of shit you put on the ground with Prob. You're also basically always spamming your abilities, which is super hectic but fun. Just had a nice Infernal Shrine game with him (seems like a good Prob map, those rift explosions are nice for the shrine minions), ended with like 100k siege and 76k hero dmg, I was actually surprised at the hero damage. Seems fun, and right up my alley.
Oh Genji is in the free rotation too, first time right?

Yep, Sondius requires to always move , do stuff and stay on its pylons.
Could be a multi element mage. Frozen Orb + Firewall + Nova.

sweet. didn't have to spend gold on jaina. got her in a random loot box.
Welp, just had a match with a silenced Guldan who communicated by spamming pings incessantly. After a while he decides to afk for a while, get kicked from the match, come back, try for a bit, afks again, then feeds the other team intentionally and afks again.
Maybe if they were too toxic for the chat they are too toxic for the game?

It's about the skills, not the elements.
Hydra isn't represented.
Static Shock.
Frozen Orb.
Those are iconic skills not in this game.
this isnt a Diablo game tho. I can list you literally hundreds of World of Warcraft spells that arent in the game.

Don't even get me started about how disappointing Gul'dan is! I want a Demonologist in this game! Give me a Felhunter a la Rexxar that eats spells and buffs.

My best bet, as in the only thing that could make sense, would be idream to T8 and they got sponsored for the brawl and next season pending on whether they make Blizzcon.
And that's only if he remains in the scene and if Team 8 had cut someone from their team.

You could absolutely do an arcane mage from WoW and have it be very different visually and mechanically from li-ming.
Charged Strikes needs to be baseline on Cassia.
Yup, color scheme and playstyle's completely different.
Yeah, it's absurd because it bounces off minions and buildings and hits any heroes in their radius.
So with B-Step now fully gone and GFE taking in K1Pro and KingCaffeine, is it me or is the NA region now looking even worse? You're going to have three teams at best that can take a game off each other, and then the rest of the league utterly incapable of competing. I mean, the likely B-Step replacement, Even in Death, couldn't beat the worse team from last season?
It doesn't feel like there's any teams challenging the top tier at all, which is what you need to get better. Instead we're just recycling the same players in different formations...

Rehgar feels lame and awkward, and I wish I got Auriel instead.
It's really difficult to put in Diablo class characters without losing a ton of signature skills they had.
Demon Hunter Multi Shot Hunger Arrow build is like... one of 6 builds you can use in that game. I wouldn't even call Multishot the definitive DH skill.
You have Impale Ninja build, you have Chakram build, Loaded for Bear Cluster Arrow (that feels DAMN good to use), Sentry/Pet build which involved having minions/stationary tools to deal damage with.
Nowadays you have Grenadier DH builds.
As with these games, signature skill depends on what you make your build around. Hell when I played Amazon in D2, I didn't use those skills that they have in HotS.

Exactly. God damn Windforce Amazon build.
On my modded D2 offline version because I never got a WF drop myself. Feels bad man.
Here's the response from eSports Matt on the issue.
With bStep gone, it'll be even more NA LUL than before.
TSpsalm did a big content dump recently and honestly, I'm impressed. It's well presented, good deep breakdown with a couple of nifty tricks spiced throughout.
Had a QM last night up against a team with both Zeratul and Genji. The worst part about that was just convincing the team not to chase either of them - or worse, to split up and try and chase both as they went in different directions.
The good news is that the map was BoE, so when I could convince my team to actually attack the immortal, we usually took it. I'm definitely still a little salty about the Rexxar who walked out of a team fight to try to take an enemy's nearby merc camp though.
