I think it's kinda good in the sense that people won't feel they are wasting anything when they play a lvl 10 hero, but thinking about how long it takes to lvl 9 from 10 and then thinking about the time it will take to get to 20 makes me want to cry) -better stats at the end of the game -of course sylvanas and tomb, which we already knew about. -Mute all. Also I heard they will give a free stimpack? And their top tier heroes are pretty different from the tier list, which show that pro games =/= ladder. I fear the free stimpack will be the compensation for those of us who already leveled up to 40... Hopefully not and Stimpack is a thank you for beta players though. | ||

Long Ranged Silence is nice. And Sylvanas is yet another assassin specialist? I like it. Her kit sounds awesome, but we'll see. | ||

Well instead of speculating here's the official recap: http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/18184937/pax-east-panel-recap-3-6-2015 TR; DR - all bonus are retroactive! Including stimpack at lvl 10. One thing here I'm pretty psyched about is Tomb of the Spider Queen's map mechanics. Something very non-binary and non-overwhelming. On the other hand such a tiny map might not be fun so we'll see. | ||

Black Arrow - basic attacks stun enemy minions / mercs / aggressive structures for 1 second. Based on the video it looks like it hasn't actually changed. | ||

They stated that lvl 40 will get it retroactively, too - so 16k Gold for everyone ! yay  -More lvls for every hero (yay? I think it's kinda good in the sense that people won't feel they are wasting anything when they play a lvl 10 hero, but thinking about how long it takes to lvl 9 from 10 and then thinking about the time it will take to get to 20 makes me want to cry) It will depend for me if those levels are actually used. I.e. It's fine for me that Hero levels 8/9/10 take a long time b/c you actually are getting a cosmetic bonus each level. Would be different if we had "filler levels" that dont do anything (like char levels 31-39 are). -Mute all. Simply sucks, it's a co-oop game. I don't mind stuff to get ppl/casuals hooked or incentives to play more or other "easy modes" to battle ladder angst, but IMHO this crosses a line. The option to mute ppl individially should be enough, a perma-mute-everyone is too much. But perhaps this won't matter much if the Ladder system actually works. Or perhaps Blizz will make Co-op/Vs.AI. more appealing to those players... (?) Also I heard they will give a free stimpack? yeah, they do. We will also get this retroactively. Sound like a nice incentive to hook up newcomers again. WhenI started getting to level 6 for Dailies was the first goal that kept me playing even though I could have done it another day - and then the "get more rotation slots" levels. Lvl 10 could be another "I'll play just to reach that today"-milestone for alot of ppl. [edit]Also, thanks for the link, @Wuster | ||

I don't think it's even the lesser of two evils with players being toxic. I really hope they implement a super advanced ping system instead then. For instance I wanna see a "after Y we do X ASAP"-ping. | ||

Rewards for being nice and a teamplayer from your surrounding players is a big incentive and helps much more to the atmosphere (already lonely) of the game. | ||

On the other hand, it's way too late. I've come to realize that I hate every hero beside Illidan, and I will continue to play quick match only with him every game forward too. I said before he was really strong and he still is. Everything else is so boring, with long cooldowns and without the finesse required to stay alive. | ||

That implies that I actually play it singleplayer, when I only ever play it with friends. Mostly duo/trio queuing with a support dude when we're not for 5 man stacks in dota. The problem is that after playing dota, every hero in hots is just so boring. All their skills have so low impact, and are generally so single-minded. Trying lost vikings after having played meepo for 60 games just shows clearly how little complexity exists in comparison.

No :/ Just because Illidan suddenly got popular doesn't mean he's without finesse. You still die like an idiot if you don't know how to play the hero and nothing has changed with that. I claimed he was retardedly strong pre-patch too, and not that much was changed. It's mostly stuff like rewind double poly from Brightwing got delayed, so you don't have to die without being able to do shit. | ||
