What is the best way? Seems a lot less straightforward than Dragon Knight.

That is because whenever I'm waiting for you to finish you end up playing a 35+ minute game.

is too limited right now for such match-making because we are in alpha.

5. Lots of cheap heroes puts more stress on Blizzard to release heroes quickly otherwise people will run out of things to spend gold on. The entire point of a F2P model is for that threshold to be hard to achieve. Even as is, you make around ~14k gold a month casually. Assuming Blizzard releases one max price hero a month, you will earn enough gold to eventually buy every hero but it will take time. If the max hero price was lower, people would complete their rosters much faster and there would be less incentive to play the game as much. If the max hero price is lower but Blizzard makes up for it by releasing more heroes, that just means they exponentially increase their own workload and risk compromising the quality of the heroes.

I mostly solo queue, too, and my average game time is around 23 minutes. I get in far less trouble with my wife when I play this as opposed to LoL.

Something I thought was interesting, was that the client says over 22k games are being played (at that time), So, that would mean there's between 110k (assuming conservativly everyone is playing co-op) and 220k (assuming everyone is playing versus.

Is that right? That seems way more that I would think, especially for an alpha.

Hotslogs has about 80,000 players in its database.

No its probably global, however, a lot of people don't even know that hotslogs exist, and i guess at lower leagues there is a good chance of people never appearing on hotslogs casuse they play very casually and are on the lower leagues. I would trust battle.net more than hotslogs. However, from experience i know that there are tons of players that only play coop, and some don't even know that versus exist lol.

I really, really need to learn how to play modern BW. I still play her the old way only I take Gust instead of Rains at 7. I feel like the only BW I ever see take blink heal anymore.

Not that I disagree that those are typical competitive picks, but listing half of the HotS roster isn't exactly responsive to my question of "who are here best."
