Took me a few arenas but I actually managed to play Ratatoskr and maaaaaaan he's the best. So much fun. Also, shockingly, I'm not finding him OP at all... yet. He's great at getting in/getting out, but if you don't get the slow on your 2 you have ZERO control. I accidentally built the acorn that gives his dash a wider hitbox and lets the ability crit, and he ends up being very similar to Serqet. I think the exploding sticky acorns are the way to go as you still get tremendous damage while giving him a dependable slow. We'll see how he pans out overtime.
@ThatDudeOverThere if you are getting lost in hots you can press space (I think) in order to have a pillar of blue light over your character. That may help.
We just had a game last night where we were clearly in the lead and had them by their soft, vulnerable bellies, but we made a critical error and wiped, giving them enough time to finish us off. So comebacks are very easy in hots because a late game wipe gives the other team so much momentum.
And League's surrender timer is twenty minutes in. If you're on the receiving end of a stomp, then the game is over well before that point.

yeah, he looked fun from watching other people play him. I somehow never had to fight Rat-bro directly, so I'm not sure where he falls on the OP scale yet. I'll reserve judgement... for now.
there are two maps where you're never out of it... haunted mines and the one with the laser statues. the map does all the pushing for you
if you find yourself with a 2 level disadvantage just play conservative, soak, try to bait dumb assassins and as soon as you can create a 5-4 advantage wipe them out and farm up all the merc camps, boom keeps b gone

In my incredibly limited experience with Ratty, I was really happy with the healing acorn.
For example, Furiosa from the new Mad Max is like, the hardest and I'm more likely to think about that kind of thing than generic manly muscletude when I hear "harden the fuck up".

so smite's premade conquest queue is apparently gone, and the main one now allows groups of up to five again, presumably because almost no one was playing in the 5-man-only conquest queue
edit: also don't alt-tab during a loading screen, it seems to be breaking things for a lot of people
Didn't they change the matchmaking so that teams with support would always be matched against other teams with supports? I just played a game against a team with a Tyrande while my team was me as Azmodan and 4 warriors. I wonder if they broke the change with the latest patch.
so yesterday i got into a custom game of HoTS with a couple of rank 1 players and... i did OK, but I ended up getting saddled with the worst Nova I've ever seen who would constantly go hog wild 1vs3 and just sunk us. We still managed to push it to like 22-22 and win a couple of late team fights, but the cannonballs fucked us
I cannot queue Muradin against Tassadar anymore though. That guy is fucking annoying. What counters Tassadar?
I mean, moving away from where he does damage is definitely what you want to do, and if you kill his whole team you're aces. His shielding isn't that good unless he specs for it, and if he does that he's not very scary, so. He isn't a great solo-support guy, so if you take out whoever is actually healing for their team they're at a severe disadvantage. Just don't stand in the fire.
Edit: Like, I really think he's a well balanced character, but he's been out so long most players have a pretty solid understanding of how he works, and his builds have been pretty stable for a while, so he's kind of just a well-known entity who happens to be really strong all around
Seems like the new style of Golden / Legendary / Diamond skins will be debuting tomorrow. Looks rad on Bellona but I'm curious how they'll be handled for, say, Fenrir.

Also people should add me to b.net TheStig#1787
I'm terrible so you probably don't wanna play ranked games with me
sure if everyone on my team is instantly replaced by someone better

Yeah I don't see why people use that phrase (which is hella patriarchal) when "harden the fuck up" is right there.
i know it seems that way but I have seen full on 3-level-disadvantage clusterfucks get turned around. It depends on the map.
Some of the objectives are so insanely powerful (Haunted Mines!) that luck and timing and make the map work for you
But you guys still have to add me to play games because I can see how this is much better with not-randos.

No regrets:
This strikes me as fair.
I mean, you'll still lose a lot of those games
But turn around a happen a lot more for me in HotS than in every other MOBA I've played
the split on whether the other team blows their lead or whether my team finally clicks together is pretty 50-50.
Because that one is still about dicks?
"Man up" implies patriarchal attitudes regarding superiority. "Harden up" implies ambiguous strength and toughness.
For example, Furiosa from the new Mad Max is like, the hardest and I'm more likely to think about that kind of thing than generic manly muscletude when I hear "harden the fuck up".
There is no way "harden up" is not about dicks.

What's the deal with malfurion? Is he not good?
Edit: Somehow didn't see the new page, I thought the thread died or something.

Good team work and solid healing?
Possibly a good Nova?

In their defense I was having a conversation and was playing like ass.
How are you supposed to get carried if you aren't playing like ass????
