davepoobond specifically says "it's a green 2016 hexagon" which tells me he's talking about the last (regionals) portrait, not the one we are supposed to get for the finals.
The finals portrait has Thrall in it plus the 2016. Don't think it's been put out yet.
Eisenhorn da bess. I hope they put out a hardcover version of the Omnibus at some point. I am thirsty for it. My softcover of it is really worn from reading it so many times.
I thought so, but I figured I would check due to not getting the last one.
Yes I really thought MVP games were top notch (the ones I caught towards the end). Nice team comps (too me) and was thrilling to watch. The rebroadcasts drew me away from LoL esports which is a nice feat
After watching mostly all of it, I really felt like EDG was the clear #2 and C9 was pretty close to toppling them. No reason they shouldn't have finished top four, was a huge choke.
EDG were fun to watch for sure. MVP was a little too robotic for me. No humanity in their play, only perfection.
RIP. I know that feel. My secondary account is stuck with an Alpha portrait but not the Alpha 40 portrait too.

And 20 for the bundle with the vehicle and skin. That's too much for me. Would love to buy hero + skin day 1. I only ever use the C9 mount anyway.

whelp
12 game losing streak...i think im done with this game for awhile
6 games straight of the worst comps ever where the other team comp directly countered our comp.
this matchmaking is the worst.
every game lost by like 3-4 levels cause we just cant do anything about the comp.

Biggest ass whoppin' I've ever seen in ARAM. Felt good man.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Hero league mang. Use qm just to fuck around with chars or get lvl 5. Or make a 5 man in like 10 seconds and you can solve the comp problem. Basically dont worry about losing ever unless you're in hl and even then really only rank 25 and above.

If you were really any good at ARAM you wouldn't have taken a whole 10 minutes longer to win that game than I did for my game, slowpoke.

Oh, Ghoul ult Arthas?
Yeah that's an impressive win.

you can't put a price on sparks
It helped that the Nova and Jaina (plus Aba copy Jaina) were HAM as could be. The Nova was excellent at getting herself out, however, so all I really had to worry about was Jaina and Arthas healing wise. Still salty Jaina died once off solo while we were gathering orbs to regen. It was the only death.
For some reason it says 2 deaths at the bottom, I guess the rest was Abathur clones but it doesn't show on the main part of the scoreboard?
It finished last night =/. Was Thurs/Fri/Sat nights.

So duo queue. Or put together the 5 man for qm. The wait can be a bit longer is the only downside. Otherwise if you lose there its because you and the others suck, not the comp.

yea i do do that when the friends I play with can sync our times. but grown folks just cant sync gaming time as often.

Yeah, sucks. I just hope they don't screw anyone out of it this time. I've gotten all the others, will be pissed if some kind of bug keeps me from getting this one.
I think the issue w/ that is just that Overwatch probably has 4x the preorders.
Thank goodness. The only sane reason I could think of was that those were the roles they were practiced on and it's too late to change it at some point. And I'm also glad they (seems like anyway) are sticking together.
But when you got the Mac God on your team you don't let somebody else play sonya/illidan. Much less zuna of all people. And its it that he's bad really, just that he's inconsistent, and risks too much, like you can't play melee assassins that way. And it's such a waste to put McIntyre on Tass/zag.

no regrets.
Tracer gonna be AA hero? The video with the rapid blinking looked positively hectic, hopefully the skill intensive hero Li Ming should have been.
How does Dehaka fare in HL btw? Because of the tournament I feel like noone bothered to check if he's OP.

Dehaka's definitely not over-powered. Sitting in the bottom third of all heroes with a winrate of 47%. His talent spread looks like everyone is going for the hyper aggressive/gank build.
Level 1 - Enhanced Agility is sitting at 60%
Level 4 - Hero Stalker (increased essence from takedowns) is at 40%
Level 7 - Symbiosis is nearly 50% (swarm cd reduction on hero dmg)
Level 10 - Isolation is at almost 75% (so strong if there's no Divine Shield Uther or Cleanse, I'm guessing there haven't encountered a cleanse yet)
Level 13 - Whirling Dervish (CC reduction on active Swarm), I don't quite get this when the other talents are movement speed and this is more sustain and the rest of the build is aggression.
Level 16 - Elongated Tongue is at 50%, which isn't surprising. It's the best talent at that tier.
Level 20 - Most people pick Apex Predator, which is super handy for taking Terrors and DKs and not dying, also being more mobile more often to gank.
16 is the only talent tier where it feels like there's little choice if you're winning. It's weird to see talents like Enduring Swarm, Primal Aggression, Lurker Strain, Feeding Frenzy, Constriction, Adaption, Swift Pursuit, Ferocious Stalker, Contagion, and Change is Survival picked so infrequently.
It's weird to see that his sustain talents are being picked less because Dehaka can be ridiculously resilient and he's pretty strong at counter-initiation (pretty easily shut down Thrall on hammer) but maybe that's indicative of him being played more solo than in organised groups?

Primal Aggression - 7.3%

I can see why people go for farming up movement speed if they're planning on playing aggressive but the wave clear just has more utility.

Maybe she will counter Li Ming in some way. That'd be nice. I hope she is well tuned and not ridiculous leading to her getting banned all the time like poor li ming.

also still think it's crazy that Blizz is running single elim brackets with Bo3.
They should be Bo5 from semis at least onward finals being Bo7. Preferably group stage knockout matches even.
