is there a high level streamer who plays lots of Vikings? I fell in love with the little guys and I'm doing great with them (70% winrate overall), but I'm never sure if I'm doing the right thing after the soak in 3 lanes phase is over. Would be great to see some good gameplay from a guy who knows what he is doing

Hi there, I have a question regarding purchasing items from the game's shop during beta.

As far as I remember, when the alpha (or beta?) were launched, there was something in the news post referring to a gift for players that bought something with real money during the alpha/beta as a reward for helping test the in game shop (a mount I believe).

My questions are, does this reward still applies if I only buy anything today (in open beta)? And anyone has any clue as to what the reward actually is?

Thanks in advance

Any diablo players here?
Is diablo just not supposed to be an initiator?
But then how can I act out my tankiness?

You get a wonder billie mount. Suppousedly, you could only get it until the closed beta, but someone told me they got it in the open beta. Can't confirm though, but if it is still available, it will be removed on release in two days.

Why does Brightwing counter Illidan?

Why is Sylvanas considered so good on Haunted Mines?

Brightwing can Polymorph him during his evasion which makes him lose a LOT of survivability.

A huge chunk of the damage the golems take is from the forts and towers. Sylvanas pushing with the Golem lets them live longer. The forts' attacks also slow attack speed of their targets, so if Sylvanas disables that then the Golems do more damage too.

Is Azmodan weak?

I didn't see a tier list on tl, so I'll just ask here.

While there are Tier lists out there, most ppl take them with a grain of salt. First, the meta hasn't settled; second, it changes depending on map types and third; good coordinated "B-Tier" heroes will win vs a mediocre "A-Tier" selection.

Azmodan needs alot of time to shine, a typical late game hero (lvl 20+) - on top of that he only does really well if he gets supported in early game (tanking, getting helped farming kills for a certain talent he got).
If he does get supported and lands his dunks, he's pretty strong though, being able to soften up a whole team in teamfights late-game.

So, basically: if your team has no clue what he does (aka Solo queue with newbies just starting out) or if your team does not want to support you (aka solo queues with "I just want to casual" players) , he's weak.
If you got a partner who's willing to play with you or encounter good players helping you out, he's strong.
(aka "I'd rate him Tier 2, but sucky for beginners solo-queueng")

I've never really played as Nova before, so...
Is it better to Snipe then Pinning Shot or Pinning Shot then Snipe?

depends on your level and your lvl 16 talent.

generally it is better to snipe first to surely take the lvl 1 talent bonus. also people tend to start evasive action after they got sniped so later pin shot = longer time to hit them when they run away.
if you talent the increased dmg it surely is better to pinn shot first.

edit: typo: later pin shot makes you able to hit ppl longer.
one last argument: if you miss snipe, you don't waster mana on pin shot. [on the other hand it is easier to hit slowed ppl.]
Countdown to victory: 1 200!

In hero league, suppose I'm in a party with 2 other players and then the 3 of us are randomly joined by 2 other non-partied players to create our team. Does our opposing team necessarily have this same format (a party of 3 + 2 strangers)? Is there any sort of necessary consistency between opposing teams in terms of party proportions? Or might we be playing 5 complete strangers (or a party of 5 friends)?

And what about in quick match? (The only QM matching I'm aware of is the number of healers on each team... I've been in QM matches where both teams get zero or one or even two healers, but both sides seem to consistently match the quantity- even if not the quality- of healers.)

I believe the system will try to match you against the same amount of premade people first, then if it can't find anyone just drops that from its search perimeters.

There are a few pie charts towards the bottom of this blog: http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/18543837/conversations-around-the-community-matchmaking-4-3-2015

It only shows the solo queue and 5-stack experience but you can sort of get an idea how the system works.

IIRC this was published before Team League, so it's referring to both QM and HL (and this was definitely before they mentioned wanting to put 5-stack HL parties into the TL queue).

I suppose the introduction of Team League might have skewed things in the Hero League match maker since then by shrinking the 5-stack population of HL enough that the chart might have changed, but that's just speculation.
