The Garden Terror is basically the dragon knight 2.0 since it has aoe CC and the plant. You shouldn't be doing vastly different things with them. | ||

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. By that logic, no one would play dota because all heroes are unlocked. | ||

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

Edit: 14k in CN Bronze, 62k in bronze in EU, 12.5k in KOR bronze, don't feel like adding up the rest. | ||

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 wouldn't expect hotslogs to be comprehensive given that it's a voluntary thing. Still, it probably has captured most players one way or another. | ||

Specialist:Nazeebo and hammer Not necessarily per role. I'm just talking about best heroes period -- ie the ones that seem to often win games for their teams. The four that I listed are the ones that seem to carry their teams the most and cause my teams the most problems on a consistent basis, which suggests to me that they are very strong heroes overall.

I feel like the only BW I ever see take blink heal anymore. I see a lot of EW BW's at Masters level. I tend to think that it's the better skill overall for its teamfight potential. | ||

Assassin's: Valla, Tychus, Falstad, Kerrigan, Zeratul, Illidan, Warriors: Chen, Arthas, Stitches, Muradin Support: Brightwing, Uther Specalists: Nazeebo, Zagara, Sgt Hammer Pretty much that's every top tier pick in comp play atm. | ||

There is no "best". Very much depends on the comp. Zeratul is strong as shit but he's awful in comps with double ADC, Arthas is "better" than Chen but there is a variety of reasons I would pick chen over Arthas in some situations (ex: vs Raynor), etc. | ||

Is that right? That seems way more that I would think, especially for an alpha. As most people have noted, for a technical alpha the game feels remarkably complete. The biggest issues I have are flakey connections and the horrible reconnect options (which appears to be doing a real-time resume from replay which can take forever). | ||

An other thing that IMO shouldn't be possible is the brew spam to deplete tower ammo or to tank damage for days. You can just sit there and spam brew all day and get your shield, there should be some kind of limit or cooldown on this. But the game is still alpha (at least for a few days :D) and I'm quite sure blizzard will fix at least one of these Also I believe you forgot abathur in your list diamond still picked/banned in EU and for good reasons.edit: Oh I forgot to flex my muscles, I'll add that I'm rank 47 on EU right now with Gazlowe as my most played champ. Don't follow tier lists, play what you like (unless you want to go pro, lol). | ||
