Not to mention having to judge when to use Divine Shield, which can be a pain to do in QM when everyone rushes in except the hero that should be getting said Divine Shield.

Luckily they made it so it is obvious you've got DS on you now. It used to be I'd DS an Illidan who was getting assaulted and he'd just leap away because it wasn't too clear he was invulnerable.

Spend my gold for me guys. Just got my 10k gold for a new hero, was thinking to get sylvanas, whom I enjoyed playing the other week when she was on free rotation. But then I hear there are new heroes coming out soon. Butcher I believe is one.

Undecided, save and wait, or spend spend spend. I'm inclined to go with sylv, it's always nice to snap her up first in hero league.

Butcher will be 15k when he first gets released. Unless you're swimming in gold at least wait for him to be discounted to 10k which happens after (I think?) 2 weeks.

Sylv is also essential to have in your hero lineup. No idea if Butcher will be or not.

Only just clipped the 10k yesterday. So 15k is a way off. And I wont waste real money on a hero. So I guess I have my answer if butcher is going to be 15k. Maybe I'll regret this if butcher turns out to be OP on release, but they seemed to of found a nice balance with johanna in this regard.

KT and Johanna were as well. I think they do this with every released hero so it doesn't completely flood the player pool (unless you're willing to fork over cash, of course )

She was. Then I think lowered to 10k after a two week period. That seems to be their standard order.

Johanna isn't really balanced. Kael'Thas, Sylvanna and Lost Vikings are still a lot stronger than standard heroes. Usually most of the heroes that they release are too strong and then they are nerfed eventually. I will grind 15k for Butcher(got 11k now) but not because I think that he will be OP but because he looks like a really fun hero to play. And if he doesn't end up being what I think he will be, I will probably get Kerrigan/Zagara/Azmodan. Can't wait for Butcher's talents though.

And yes, he will be 15k unless they change their policy about freshly released heroes.

As far as I know new heroes are 15k gold when they are released, usually they're released along with a bundle that gives that hero + a skin. Probably to encourage players to buy it for real or to get them to spend more gold

After two weeks the hero drops to 10k.
This has been the case so far with all of the new heroes I've seen added.

If you want to grind gold, best way is to get multiple heroes to level 5.
You'll get 500 gold for each hero you level to that.

Johanna's fine.

She's a really good tank but she doesn't change matches in the way that KT/Sylv/TLV do. She has her weaknesses.

I'm actually really starting to dig on Johanna and I feel the competitive scene is also realizing her potential. Now that her build has become somewhat standardized (the most common build is far and away from most theorycrafted builds) she feels stronger. I didn't care for her when she was first released but now that Knight Takes Pawn is realized and her waveclear is amazing, her sustain is amazing, her disrupt is amazing and if you go Burning + Hammer at 13/16 her damage in an actual fight can really add up as well. Not sure if she is OP but she certainly is a top-tier warrior.

Johanna has so much CC in her kit that she always was going to emerge as one of the top warriors. Again, it just depends upon what a team needs out of their warrior(s). If peeling comes at a premium, she's the one.

Yeah, only heroes I have who aren't > level 5 are vikings,. abathur and johanna.

Another good way to make gold is to keep the low value quests. There's 8 dailies in total I believe, 3 are high value, like 800g, 600g. So if you keep the low value quests undone, then you're more likely to get the high value quests, and over time, will make more money.

If your strengths overcome your weaknesses then having a weakness doesn't mean much. She is fine in a sense that she isn't doing anything too crazy like Vikings and Sylvannas do but she is still cc-heavy Warrior that can tank a lot and has enormous AoE blind that is almost too good(and they are nerfing that for a reason in the next patch IIRC). Comparing her to other Warriors, I don't think that there are too much of them that can do her job equally good, let alone surpass her at that.

She is also a complete middle finger to any channeled ult. Which not to say they're popular at all in the meta but if RS Nazeebo was still popular you just go W talent at 7 and sprint towards Naz to disrupt. It seems awkward since they said Stitches' mini-stun in slam was unacceptable for such a low cooldown but you can get battle momentum and your W is up just as much as Slam.

I would rate Johanna the most imbalanced since a long time (if you ignore the Kael bug xD ). She denies any form of engage and because of her shield and unstoppable she can create a big gap between teams so that you don't see from were the rest of the team will poke, while Johanna can keep a nice vision on your team.

While the others are strong on their own. Johanna is way to strong with a poke composition. She will be the only target, one that can't be stunned if played well and blocks any form of auto attack damage (which is often needed against tanks).

But well they are addressing this with the Blind mechanic change.

The only thing I've seen with Johanna so far is that she just doesn't die, especially once she hits level 20.
Rehgar especially can heal her while she's shielded, making it much easier to land Ancestral.

Johanna is wayyy too strong lol. So much cc, unkillable, unstoppable, her + KT is basically a free win with the aoe regroup +flamestrike combo.
