Heroes of the Storm - Blizzard MOBA

ETC is a disruptor, his main role is to divide the enemies for his allies to conquer.

Ride around and see if an enemy has overextended his lane, then ride in and face melt them towards your team and fixate with a power-slide.

Team fights are similar, when one of their squishies gets in close enough you power-slide into them and simultaneously push them into your team while separating them from theirs.

However ETC suffers in pubs from the fact that some people are just flat out too dimwitted to follow up on engages even if they are completely in your advantage.

Diabolo is a similar hero focused mostly on dis-positioning your enemies and CC.

Warriors are currently in an identity crisis, some are disruptors (Diabolo,ETC,Stiches,Anubarak,Johana) while others are beefy Melee AOE-Figthers (Arthas,Tyrael,Sonya) and a few pure Stone Walls (Chen,Muradin).

Ah. Okay.

I think I might set aside the rock god for the time being.

So, new question: how important is precise positioning to Li Li?

Well Lili's heals home in and have a generous range, so she is comparably less range dependant then a Brigthwing.

Well. I was expecting a few things during my first multiplayer match. I was expecting us to not do well. (We didn't.) I expected a lot of the free heroes. (There were.)

I didn't expect my computer to lag twice as hard as it normally does, even after giving it high priority in Task Manager.

I certainly didn't expect it to crash from the stress.

EDIT: Knocking down the resolution fixed this, for the most part. And... I won a few matches! Easily, at that. I think the abundance of Falstads and Tychuses helps, since they seem to be labeled as "Hard" and they tend to die a lot.

I'm guessing that Female Crusaders don't take on Male apprentices and vice versa, then?

What the hell is Murky's gender anyway

Mhrglbl.

I can't say I have any interest in putting in the effort to find out, personally.

Considering Johanna assuming it would be a likely candidate for an apprentice and not disqualified from being male...I guess Murky's tentatively female.

So I've been watching the Heroes of the Dorm games on Youtube (mostly because of Day[9]), and I'm starting to wonder if Heroes faster, simpler playstyle doesn't just make for a more enjoyable game, but may actually make it more fun to watch as a spectator, too.

I think yes.

Not that I'm any authority or anything.

Well complexity does not automatically equal quality, most features like denying and stacking are merley Ascended Glitches anyway.

I like Tychus. I don't seem to die a super lot on him, he does have ways to stay alive. I also like the drill a lot better than the Odin ult right now.

I don't necessarily feel like I "get" Tychus. I mean, I haven't touched him, but I just don't necessarily see what he does, what he's good at, etc.

Tychus is a Raynor that trades survivalbility for AOE-DPS. If you skill his grenades dmg up he is also a decent pusher, while his drill can be used to quickly burn through Boss monsters which makes him a strong pick on "Mines".

So anyone know how to counter the Viking Horde tactic?

(Tentatively name I'm trying for when a team as a Lost Viking player with a viking in every lane as the other 4 roam about picking off the other players who are trying to get exp the more traditional way)

I haven't even seen a Viking, so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

Viking Hoard? Do they attack you with their stash of loot?

Part of me is now pondering a hero design for the Innkeeper. Derivative franchise or not, he's still the poster boy for one of their major games at this point.

I would like to see the rest of the 9 classes be put in over him, Gul'dan would be quite fun I think.

@Fighteer: Viking Hoard is a level 1 talent of the Lost Vikings (increased health regen per each regen orb you pick up). This talent works best if you have a viking in each lane, so you can build up regen stacks really fast.

I made a spelling/grammer mistake anyway.

Definitely one of those fun times to be dyslexic. "Is he talking about a gang of Vikings or the talent? I am become confused".

Horde = a large group of people, usually warlike.
Hoard = a stash of loot.

x5: Well, yes. But the Hearthstone fan in me would enjoy representation.

I'm looking forward to Rexxar. I wonder how he'll play.
