HOTS 2.0 greeted me much like HOTS 1.0 left me. 1-3 record.

Legit have no fucking clue what the colors are for levels on the load screen. I know green is 100 and orange-red is 900. Ketch had orange-red too but he was like 400 levels lower than us.

Brah that's because I'm actually a lvl 900 player but I keep getting stuck with shitty teammates.

Are announcers worth it or should I reroll? I get so many of them... I'm looking at the brightwing one right now, no way I'm using this...

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Not a bad haul from my 9 free epic crates. Only legendary was the silly pajama abathur skin, but I also got one of the old god-style Alarak skins, which I really like.
 
Player level 901, 9 Veteran Chests, 5 loot chests and 55 epic chests. Guess I'll spend the next hour clickling stuff.

Ha, I'm getting some cool legendary skins from these veteran chests, like Infested Tychus, Azmodunk, and Ghost queen kerrigan. Even got a Deputy Valla from a regular loot chest.

Looking for some friends to play with for the Nexus Challenge or even just playing in general. I have played HOTS off and on but recently have been playing more, I missed out the first time that Genji skin was available so I would really like to get it this time.

This is lame

The assassins, Flex Mega, and Support/Specialist mega packs each offer me 3 characters. The tank one offers me 1 character.

There is like no good pick for me. Except the tank one, that's the bad pick.

Did I miss a video for the overwatch map? How did the other team do 2 DMG to our core with one payload. Pretty sure it was only one.

So, slowly getting the hang of it. Still need to mess around quite a bit, but I been particularly fond of Johanna from the couple matches I played of her. If there is something that quite annoys me, it is the camera which I end up moving it away from my character.XD Is there a locked on setting or something to keep it on my character?

Ya, press L to lock or unlock camera. I'd recommend getting used to unlocked though, it's better in the long run.

Mounts are bought with shards so they have gone from real money only to indirect gameplay-earned currency only. Weird.

Not sure if I want to get a prime evil diablo skin or abathur announcer.
 
So I'm new to HOTS. Was going to claim the free 20 hero mega bundle, and I see this warning about reaching Level 10 as a recruit to receive Sylvanas as a bonus. There's a link to this page:

http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/game/recruit-a-friend/

Then that page gives me a recruitment link:

https://battle.net/recruit/F88PHHKBKR

So if I understand this right, I get a benefit for being recruited myself (Sylvanas at Level 10), but also get a benefit for recruiting people? Looks like a portrait for one recruit and a mount for recruiting 4 people?

Will D.va be 750 gems?

Edit: Nevermind, I see the Genji bundles and assume she'll have similar. Saving my gems for that.

Was running late for dinner with the gf, but it looks like I have:

- 3 Veteran
- 5 Loot
- 36 Epic

Had around 1300+ games logged since closed beta, stopped playing after hitting rank 2 (rip) during preseason.

Excited to open these when I get back home.
 
I was browsing through the skins and, man, can the HOTS and Overwatch skin makers swap places or something? So many awesome ones in this game.

Although I imagine they put out the D2 Amazon skin for Nova before they realized they were going to put the D2 Amazon herself into the game, oops.

Was pretty funny when that Nova skin came out. People were legit upset that it likely meant no Amazon hero.... then a year later we get the Amazon :) Blizz listens to their audience pretty well. If people are wanting some hero or balance change it usually happens.

I got one of the megapacks to start out - what's the next thing I should be doing?

Just find a hero you like and play.

The best approach is to try every hero that's available for free each week that you don't already own, so that (A) you'll know which ones you want to own and (B) you learn what to expect from them when they are on your team or against you.

I mean what kind of stuff should I be doing to advance my collection?

I got the tanks bundle, but I want Gul'dan ASAP.

Not much you can do to advance it outside of your dailies and leveling the free heroes (and the ones you own) up for gold. At level 5 they give 500 gold. You might get some heroes quicker as well since you get a loot box for every level you gain and they drop decently often from those.

That is unless you want to buy him outright, I mean.

Man, I might as well had went with specialist and support bundle with the heroes I been leaning towards lmao. Playing some Lucio while he is F2P, and they really did a awesome job for him in this game.
