Yup in ranked. Game becomes literally a 4v5.

It is annoying how many ppl with bad map awareness try and play him, but you don't see ppl with terrible micro playing Meepo on the other hand.

Why.

Not long. He's only 7000 gold. I forget the exact time table, but you get a lot of gold thrown at you from leveling up when you first start playing. Just start getting various free to play characters to level 5, and you should have enough in no time.

Long enough for you to save up 10k gold, which isn't long on a new account.

So were there any new invites for Beta? People on official forums say only old alpha players got beta access, in which case this is a huge joke by Blizzard.

Anyone got in today that didn't get in before?

They just lowered him to 7k with the patch so even shorter

I had a friend get his access yesterday and he didn't have Alpha access.

You get 6k gold for leveling 1-10. All you need to do is push 2 heroes to level 5 and you got your Stitches. Shouldn't take long.

I don't know how they decide who gets alpha and beta, but one thing I know is that it's never me ;D

Well, I think they kinda focus on inviting friends of alpha testers. Basically everyone with a Battle.net account around me has got a beta account by now.

To what extent do you think Blizzard favors inviting people who have a history of making microtransactions with previous Blizzard game (ie Hearthstone)?

I really don't understand blizzard. They're making a decent game. It's fun and interesting for small periods, and it's different enough from Dota that it just doesn't drown in its shadow for me personally.

Then they have stuff like their current reconnect "feature", they gate talents pointlessly, which makes it a nightmare to try new heroes for people who actually know how to play games, they have the worst accessibility for playing heroes you want and they decided to enable the worst ranking system currently out there.

They always consider us as dumb kids who doesn't want to know anything about personal progression, and just lumps people into shitty ranks/divisions where you have no idea how you're doing or if you're actually getting better vs just playing more games.

Sure it was just the end of alpha, start of beta right now, but it's still so frustrating as a player. It could've already been a really good game, but they're trying their hardest to make me hate it.
I speak fluent sarcasm.

Especially that is a big issue, imo. If someone dc's the entire team will get e penalty, which is just stupid with the current issues with the reconnect problems.

edit: that's just straight up retarded. A friend of mine dc's -> can't reconnect because the system is fucked up -> penalty inc.
Great xD

new invites will probably come out in the next days, at Blizzcon Browder said that they planned to have 15 times more players in Beta.

Alright, for those wondering, here's the best Thrall build:

Level 1: Wind shear
Level 4: Envenom
Level 7: Battle momentum
Level 10: Sundering
Level 13: Grace of air (unless you are REALLY confident in your team's healing)
Level 16: Tempest fury
Level 20: Bolt of the storm

Basically, this is the windfury-centric build that offers maximum damage for Thrall. Because Thrall's passive is batshit crazy, you don't have to worry about speccing defense. Just charge in and let loose. As long as you're not being focused on by more than 2 enemies, you should be okay. The damage that you'll do from spamming windfury is ***insane***. You'll cut through tanks (even Arthas) like a hot knife through butter. The ONLY thing that you need to worry about is mana management. Be careful about not needlessly burning through all of your mana before teamfights or otherwise running around with a low mana bar. The only time that you'll ever really be in trouble is when the mana bar goes empty.

Yeah, I keep getting surprised by Thrall's amazing damage potential and just how hard he is to duel. I really think he's probably one of the best duelists in the game right now.

Anyone have some strategy for the new map? The multiple objectives is like the nightmare of Dragon Shrine except you can't just hold one spot to stall ^_^

When there are multiple shrines starting the cap first allows you to challenge for the final shots of the other shrine so getting there first seems really important, but other than that...
