    Also, I am sad that I only have two low level heroes to grind for chests during the Winter event, because those event skins (presumably) look amazing.

    In case anyone misses the BotP, it looks like the new skin pack might translate to something like Funland Friends.

    Rich playing offlane Falstad. Notice how he never over-extends and is always thinking about when they want to gank him. Not even the player widely recognized as having the best mechanical skill in the world has enough ego to run headfirst into match-ups that he knows he should lose.

    To be honest his team kind of carries him by playing into an Abathur comp correctly. But he does his part by focusing on not dying unnecessarily and showing up to help at the right times.

    in NA this would probably end up like:

    "YO WATCH ME TAKE THIS GUY. I CAN TAKE THIS GUY. I TAKE THIS GUY ALL DAY. WE TAKE THOSE."

    "..."

    Might have missed this from awhile back but I wanted to join in on the tourney didn't see my name in your last post about it and wanted to make sure I didn't miss out this time around.

    Pretty sure you can buy the old seasonal stuff during the event. It's just that this year's stuff has a different theme. They did the same thing for Nexomania.

    They certainly will. The luchador shit this summer also had the summer blast shit from the year before.

    It's Lise from Seiken Densetsu 3.

    Though that checks out, since Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger are connected.

    So I’m trying to pick up the game after not playing for a year or so. Is there something I can do to improve the wait time? I feel I’ve spent much longer searching for a match than playing.

    The estimate is always 150-200 seconds, but actually has been 5-10 minutes.

    I must be a low MMR because I wait 1 minute max. Usually inside 30 seconds.

    guys i got a max range lurking terror kill on a malthael behind his gate today

    lurking terror still p good

    (real talk though: it provides you with the ability to never need to go into melee range ever again. you never have to put yourself at risk since you can just hit it with every E cast instead. it's a long ranged nuke that hits extremely fucking hard and Fright guarantees it'll land, every time. i don't think it's as doom and gloom as people were making it out to be.)

    ((but i also can't check the winrate of lurking terror since hotslogs is borked from the new patch!!))

    Also!

    Just one more signup and we have three teams for the tourney.

    And be sure to sign up if you just wanna cast instead of playing! Or if you wanna do both!

    Ran into a 4-stack of Cho'Gall with Ana today, and I must say that is some of the most degenerate shit I've seen. I haven't even seen a Nano'd CG, much less one destroy a team in a couple seconds before. We killed them 3 times within six minutes, so they weren't even playing well. After they hit 10, they pretty much auto-won fights, and there wasn't much we could do to counteract them on Hanamura. It was one of the most frustrating matches I've ever had in this game. It wasn't even remotely fair.


    ....next time I queue up, I see the bans are playing out the exact same. They also had an Artanis in the first couple picks. So I ban out Cho'Gall. They wind up pausing for 35 seconds on the last couple picks and some random shit shows up. I see it's the same 4-stack on the loading screen and go on to grab MVP with my girl Johanna after destroying them 29-2 with no forts lost. Felt so vindicated.
