Why is it P2W? I haven't put a cent into the game yet and I own 6 Heroes (all of the 2k Heroes + Valla for pre-ordering D3:RoS) and have 61015 Gold. That's enough to buy 11 more Heroes (6x 4k Heroes + 5x 7k Heroes).
Also, there are 7 Free Heroes every week.

I'm thinking that I'm going to skip hivemind from here on out and stick with ultimate evolution on 20 for the added support on a carry. Abathur is pretty damn fun. Bought Abby last night and went with a shield/regen build. It requires constant map awareness and identifying how is low on health/ in battle. Casting Locust strain at lvl 20 and having it on two heroes at once is so sick too.
Seen a lot of Abathur's lately and his locusts *hurt*. He feels like he's in a good place now, but I still haven't played him myself.

Since paying money gives you zero advantages over someone who doesn't I totally agree and wish you luck at next year's Darwin awards.

The only ones that I don't have are Lili and Tyrande. Minimally, you should get 3 supports and 3 warriors/tanks before doing hero league. You can plug rest of your roster with whatever else you want, because people always have assassins/damage dealers.
I'm wondering if Lili might not have a strong role on Dragonshire. I was playing the dragon and only Lili was defending and her e was making me miss roughly 50% of my attacks or so because the dragon attacks so slow. Dragon isn't much compared to the terror anyway, but I found that pretty rough.

That only seems possible if you were also slowed by keep attacks.

Sylvanas is so much fun ! I'm loving it !
Her gameplay is so fresh compared to the rest, her mechanics are really entertaining. As an example you can kill enemy towers at level 1 with a bit of coordination witch i find particularly hilarious.
The 1v1 vs valla are the epitome of quick and super fun gameplay, it always ends in a draw where you both die in the end.

If your team is playing well, the enemy team probably won't be getting many dragons (if any). If the enemy team is getting a lot of dragons, then your team probably is getting stomped, and having Lili won't matter anyway. What we're left with is a very, very small number of circumstances where Lili's blind will have any meaningful effect.

So let me get this straight: Blizzard's solution to shitty matchmaking was to disable our ability to see the ranks of the players that we're being matched up with? In other words, their solution was simply to prevent us from seeing proof that they have an incompetent matchmaking engine?

What do you mean? I'm still capable of seeing people when I play.
The stats screen is broken though, if you try to right click someone's name it says they're offline. You have to click the gear all the way on the right to get a menu that includes viewing profile.

At least we got back the view profile thing! :D
I haven't played Hero League this patch, do you mean we can't /who anymore and see their profiles? D:

What does the giant 25 and the giant 11 mean at the bottom of the score/ stats screen?
|
Those numbers are kills, I believe.
|
Total kills for each team? So what's a takedown then? I thought that was a kill, but that sum is way higher.
|

Kills too, but they are shared, meaning that if you and that other guy whos right behind you atacked the enemy and then he died, it counts as 2 takedowns, one for each of you two, but on the overall kills only one is displayed.
|
Ah I see. Makes sense, since the sum of my team's deaths is their big number, and vice-versa. Thanks!

Guys I'm addicted to HoTS. I may have some issues.

Hero league seems to be the only way to dodge 6+ minute queue times.

Yolo-queue on EU is like 2-3 ... seconds right now.... is it that bad on the NA servers in general or are you just such a high rank/MMR that it won't find ppl with your MMR ?

It's gotta be his MMR... I find games in like ten seconds on NA.
