    This presenter really has the timing on waiting for applause wrong.

    Also it's on Twitch if y'all have that on your phones.

    I see Hanzo belongs to the Prometheus school of dodging.

    Do you, in fact, have any builds in this shop at all?

    Alexstrasza's face looks so weird. But HotS' hero design always seems to fuck up the faces with characters.

  • kimekime Queen of Blades Registered User regular
    A "versatile ranged support who manipulates her life to heal her enemies. When her life or her allies is threatened, she can transform into a dragon to do something something"

    Hanzo is a "nimble ranged assassin"

    to be fair Alex is a lot less powerful than she used to be since the Dragon Soul was destroyed to defeat Deathwing.

    Alexstraza ranged support, uses her life to heal others. Can transform into a dragon via trait.

    Hanzo... nimble ranges assassin. Says nimble again. Scout.

    the word nimble is very disconcerting when describing overwatch characters.

    stealth changes also good, as someone who isn't very good at the stealth eye test game.

    Performance-based matchmaking, not just based on W/L

    Map mechanics changes

    New stealth visuals

    New camera zooms

    And more! Woooooo

    Aside from shimmer changes it might also refer to the big Stealth Heroes Rework they've been hinting at too.

    But yeah I'm fucking trashcan at the stealth shimmer and I refuse to make the rest of my game look worse just to give me a better chance at seeing the shimmer.

    Yup. I assume you can turn it off which is what I will do immediately. May be nice and convenient when playing with full stack friends though.

    Alexstraza looks like she has some kind of crazy ult where she goes dragon, flies into the sky, and then rains death and/or heals.

    Also, the transformation trait seems like you can use it just whenever. Kind of like a mobile Ragnaros trait. Probably huge movement penalty I'd assume, making escape (and probably bodyblocking allies) a huge issue.

    I played my first game of HL in years, my whole team was arguing, each one wanted to blame something different to explain why we were losing, some were blaming individuals, others our hero selection, some the map and game balance. There was a big argument about what to argue about.

    If they can do performance matchmaking right my play time will increase drastically.

    I don't think I'll say anything most games, but I'll probably start with it on as long as it's easy to mute like chat/pings.

    the zeratul in that short video looked ghosted but clearly visible. so in my mind it's mostly stealth for minions and minimap? so they'd have their power increased as stealth would be a smaller chunk.

    Did they mention details about exactly how performance based matchmaking is going to work? We've discussed this multiple times here and there are a lot of ways that it can go catastrophically wrong
