Right now there are obviously some balance issues but I also feel talents aren't worked out well yet. For most heroes most talents are obvious and something you decide beforehand, they could improve there with more styles and/or actually situational picks. That would make talents far more interesting, you'd care more about what they pick and it would be an interesting thing to really pick depending on how the game goes etc. For example a hero like tassadar is broken and most picks are too obvious. If you nerf those best talents like second storm and overload a bit you nerf the hero but also at the same time make the hero more interesting. Sure you could also just straight up tweak numbers for tassadar but there are good oppurtunities to solve two 'problems' at the same time here. Same thing for heroics, that needs to be a really interesting choice where both are possible. I like those of valla and illidan for example where you see both a fair share. But tassadar again has a really simple decision. Overall there are just too many talents that straight up dominate their tier and are a no-brainer. The small choices between stuff like MULE or some other talent are interesting I think especially as they can depend on the gamestate. Do I have a fort worth repairing right away when hitting level 7? That's the nudge for MULE then. Do I have a kill or 2 already? Great, i'll take gathering power. I hope Blizzard is smart enough to not just nerf everything. You need to pick a power level and then get all the heroes to that spot. If that level is along the lines of current abathur then the game will be a lot of fun. If instead they decide to make everyone as powerful as current lili then the game is going to suck. | ||

I don't think it matters much if you bring the top down or the bottom up. It's about relative difference. Of course you got to keep in check that creeps are still doable from quite early on and the balance between burst and support needs to be in check. Combat shouldn't be too short or too long, what exactly is right I don't know but I like where it is right now. To be frank though balance is a super easy thing to do in online games like starcraft or this, I don't get what the big fuzz is all the time. There is a huge amount of data available and you can just tweak numbers slightly here and there to keep it fine. The real trick is doing that while keeping the game interesting I thing, so not only nerf/buff heroes but also make the talents a real thing. Heroes like zeratul are well designed and I read lots of different opinions on what's a good build for him. Check a couple sources for heroes like stiches, tassadar and nova though and you'll see the same thing over and over. | ||

If you nerf everything, heroes become weak and boring. If you buff things, heroes are powerful and exciting. | ||

If you're doing premades you get much higher MMR because you don't neccesarily meet other premades much. Sure your team's MMR will be higher but the quality of the team is much more than some combination of the teams individual MMR ratings. It's also a matter of teamwork and hero selection. Granted they are slightly covered within MMR already but not as well. | ||

i crawled my way out of bronze elo into gold. I uploaded every match to hotslogs, including losses... and at first there were many more losses than wins. Gold may not sound good to you guys, but I'm proud of myself  | ||

Yes, she's really good at it, but she's useless at taking objectives (good luck shooting down that pirate chest), pushing lanes, or seizing merc camps. She may be more specialized than virtually every other hero in what she does. Just not my cup of tea. The teamfight burst once you have all the talents and double orbital is too much fun though. | ||
