Man I just accidently picked Sonya in ranked as I wasn't paying attention and missed my turn, luckily we had some other shit picks so I probably didn't single handedly throw that one. I wasn't even alt tabbed or anything but was discussing picks with my queue buddies and then boom Sonya.
Also has anyone encountered a situation where heroes you own aren't pickable in ranked? Their portraits show up dark like heroes I don't own and game won't allow me to pick them. Kept happening to my Uther in quite a few games.
Really seemed like a bug but could be some weird feature I missed.

I got a key finally, and dropped money on Thrall's bundle. I'm having fun enjoying myself so far.

You can actually build reghar to be like a tanky/bursty that sucks.
You do this build:
Empowering charge Focused Attack Searing Attacks BL Feral Lunge Berserk Fury of the Storm + Show Spoiler +

Not gonna happen. People are already spending loads of $$ in this game, so they wont change business.

There's a tournament starting in 4 minutes. http://www.Twitch.tv/solidjakegg

@ahswtini: As long as there is decent commentary, I will also take vods !
@klipik12: Thank you, I am really looking forward to this game, I thought after all those heroesOTS articles I never read I might have to watch one at least.

Watch Grubby's stream on Twitch, he streams almost every day and is currently #1 ranked.

Yes, that wasn't the case.

It's a bug where the hero will appear greyed out if the other team is hovering it. If you hover it and let the timer expire, it'll override the bug and lock in who you wanted anyway.

Awesome. Will you also create a subforum for heroes?

currently ranked 40
my experience so far:
whiny players give up and harass if u pick something they don't want.
I pick murky, complain 4v5, end up winning, butt hurt. (his CC makes up for everything and his luring ability/damage push makes him count)
getting hooked means u r a bad player even though hooks are practically %100 easier than dota.
tychus first pick all game every day. mainly because thrall is expensive.
Tychus-Thrall>Stiches>Muradin-Illidan-witchdoctor-Arthas-Raynor-Brightwing-LiLi-Hammer>(Insert other assasins/warriors)
|
Tychus is awesome, Spray is my favorite damage ability in the game and I would pick Tychus only for that, even if Odin would get nerfed into the ground. Murky is awesome because most people don't know how to play against him (never being F2P).
I usually tend to go Brightwing over Tychus first because at ultra-lower ranks (curently 43) in too many of the games I don't pick Brightwing someone picks Malfurion and goes solo laning with him.
Hammer is awesome, too, but as she is a final pick I rarely get to take her. Unsure if I want to spend money/gold on Thrall or Stitches as I dislike playing melees.
