    You don't find cruel spores + nature's culling good for taking camps? She seemed to be a camping monster to me last night, but it seems like cruel spores was essential to that so I didn't have to keep rotating through the mercs to keep the poison on them.

    Rotating through the mercs is no big deal to keep your full stack of poison on them all in my experience and the thing with Cruel Spores is it doesn't make them die any faster/make you take any less damage which is the actual issue with clearing camps as Lunara.
    For siege camps that's true. For bruiser camps, you can kill them slightly faster or take less damage with Cruel Spores (easier to kite the melee bruisers). Not that that's really a compelling reason to take the talent, but it does make a difference in that case.

    I find it funny all the people complaining about Nova just got trolled by Blizzard by something even worse.

    I still prefer playing against Li-Ming to old Nova.

    Li-Ming can clear, destroy buildings, and can snipe like a weaker old Nova and teampwn like KT, with an amazing teleport ability.

    Her win rate is just below Rehgars.

    Novas win rate never got above 51%.

    Yes.

    But you can see Li-Ming. And you can click Judgement on her from halfway across the screen.

    Li-Ming's sieging ability and range make her alot more annoying to me then Nova.

    Also the way she'll delete 5 people instead of only 1.

    I personally just don't like the fact that I constantly have to be careful of projectiles coming from just outside of fog of war. That's super super dumb.

    Li-Ming is also likely to see a nerf soon. Nova's annoyance went unchecked for months.

    Li-Mings numbers are the main issue (with the exception of Ess of Johan, which just needs to be scuttled) whereas Novas issue was... well, everything.

    Li Ming just outranges forts from 1 min in game and all game after that. It's ridiculous. She will melt a building faster than a specialist because she just keeps doing it.

    It's complete bs.

    You guys are right - there's no need for cruel spores if you take Nature's Culling. 1 hit of spores is all it takes to kill mercs.

    I went for the basic attack range talent tonight and it seemed like a pretty decent choice. I also took the Q range bonus in a game where the other team had a lot of AA and I didn't need GSS. That was nice. Hit level 10 on Lunara, but I have 16k gold so I think I'll pick up Li Ming next week and then maybe necro when he comes out.

    It's actually from before 1 min in game. Depending on the map you can easily have at least one tower down by the 1 minute mark.

    Reduce her building dmg by 50% and scrap ess of johan. Maybe give her blades?

    If I were to guess, it's because there's two items in the bundle, and you already own one. Can you click and buy the skins on their own normally?

    This is why, yes. You'll have to navigate to the skins manually in the skins section instead of the bundle section.

    That's strange, I was able to buy the Space Lord bundle and I already owned Leo.

    Edit: Nvm, just read Undead Monkey's post. Space Lord bundle had 3 items.

    I had one game with a turd Cho but other than that I've had good games. Won 3 lost 2 today so far. I thought it was going to be 2 and 3 after the last one on Garden... My team had a couple people who didn't recognize that number of people in a fight impacts the outcome... Our team didn't get a terror until the 3rd cycle. All our forts were down before we got any of theirs. I figured it was a lost cause but somehow we pulled it together and pushed it into a win. It was super satisfying.

    Because it's a 3 item bundle.

    You can't buy 2 item bundles if you already own one of the items is the rule.

    The bundle you are not able to get now only has character + skin.

    Holy cow what a game on Dragon Shire with @Dibby @Inquisitor77 @SkyAndPie and @MMMig. We turned 20 seconds after the first dragon was capped. It was an intense stalemate game and I only tried to throw once. :-)

    DUDE RIGHT. Here's the game in question!
    CbJcG0uWIAA4uYH.jpg:large
    Just lots of back and forth very very early on, no one could cap a DK at all. Then we capped the first DK of the game and snowballed and won. We didn't have DK up for the game winning push, but the DK had just expired and three of the enemy team was down. So we just marched in on the core.

    Li-Ming is some craaaaazy shit, yo. I'm getting a lot better about being SUPER aggressive with my Teleports. It's paying off big time. There was a game beforehand, I think it was Sky Temple, where I deleted like 3 people in a row with barely any health. Because Diamond Skin is kind of OP.

    Also I'm typically a huge proponent of Temporal Flux over Tal Rasha's, but that game called for Tal Rasha's. They had some pretty scary burst, and I needed to outburst them. We also had plenty of control already, so I figured I'd rather just do more damage instead of having a massive slow. It paid off, I think.

    if i had a dollar for every throw i had on cursed hollow because people didn't push with a curse boss after killing a member of the other team, i'd have too many dollars.

    it's unbelievable how people just can't fucking stay with the team. managed to lose a 5v4 with curse + boss because greymane just had to have the middle tower instead of winning the game. it's torture. and then obviously they came all the way back and won the game since we were dead for a minute.

    edit: sigh what the fuck weekend. 3 god damned illidans in a row who all ended with over 10 deaths. why do you punish me so. swear to god matchmaking in qm has gotten way worse in the last week. lost like 80%+ of my games.

    i found out tonight that teleport li ming actually has a harder time with non-sa zera since you never get illusionist resets at equal level. SA zera uses searing attacks so the two quick teleports are usually enough to get you away from the autodeath.

    Okay, so, this is really interesting. Apparently, Li-Ming's Arcane Orb has a hitbox that does not match it's visual: https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/45oeyp/psa_a_demonstration_of_the_splash_damage_radius/

    This might explain why it's seemingly SO damn hard to avoid the damn thing. That's ridiculous! It's basically hitting way more people than it should, way too easily.

    The second example in that post (i.imgur.com/rmet01d.webm) demonstrates that very clearly.

    Just, wow. No wonder, dude. Fix that shit, my god.

    The explosion is always the same size afaik. It's the trigger radius that gets larger. Don't think it's a bug.
