Are there any skins/ mounts that are for a limited time only? I prefer to use my gold to unlock heroes first, but I don't want to miss out on any offered skins that may disappear after x weeks/ months.

Also, do the price of skins ever go down, or is that just the price of heroes?

I don't think I've seen any skin price go down. Also as far as I know the skins are always available, its just the bundles that dissapear.

Mounts do go out of availability though. (Dire wolf and cyberwolf were removed, altough they came back, I read somewhere that for a limited time).

IIRC they said they would be back when they removed the Winterveil Skins (and reindeer mount). I assumed they were just going to make it available as a seasonal thing, so I was surprised to see them back on release.

There have been a few hero skins that went down from like 9.99 to 7.49, but it was less than 5 of them I want to say, and it was months ago so they were probably adjusting prices in beta.

Gotcha

I think I'll just hold off on the skins for now so that I can finish off getting the last two heroes (Thrall and Chen) and then the Butcher.

I just bought Nova yesterday and have some questions.

Let's say I am playing a Nova and want to gank somebody. At the moment here's what I do (not taking heroics into account):

put down a clone a couple seconds early to get the victim to run in the direction I want and/or waste abilities, then snipe, auto attack, pinning shot, move, auto attack

But I've read that the best rotation is pinning shot, snipe, autoattack. Can someone explain more about this?

Thanks!

I think pinning shoot is recommended first because of the slow applied, so you are more likely to hit your snipe and the fact that at 16 it can give an extra 25% damage. Also, I think most people take anti-armor shells at 7, so I don't think you have time for 2 auto attacks.

I asked the exact same question on the previous page, and this was the response I got

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.]


So far it works for me

That's debatable... they aren't actively trying to escape you if you snipe first, whereas if you pinning shot to set up for a snipe, then they're trying to juke/ dodge/ stun you.

Higher levels players start to stutter step *all* the time just in case you're lurking around the corner. Add to the fact that higher level players are more likely to see the screen blur and you may as well practice landing that skill shot when revealed IMO.

It's a real thin one, but it travels fast, so it's not the hardest skillshot to land in the game.

You really should get in the habit of feeling the tempo of your hero and moving after every hit. Even if a Nova isn't in the game it helps you when you are forced to stutter step in engagements. And the best way to avoid Nova ganking you is to simply hug the nuts of your creeps or make it so the only possible position she can shoot you from is from behind you. Then you just kill her or your team mate will kill her. I will usually always take a 1:1 trade if things are relatively equal in the game and the person I'm trading against has Gathering Power.

It reduces all the damage a hero does whether by abilities or auto attacks.

If you Polymorph (Brightwing's W) an Illidan right after he uses Evasion, does he lose the evasion buff or does it continue for the full duration while he is polymorphed?

If you play Illidan and want to use Evasion in team fights, how do you not die in 1 second against any good team? I always get focused and die immediately, even if I get the HP buff from 3 or more opponents. When I just run away I can't take advantage of my heroic...

Are you getting the Sixth Sense talent at lvl 13? That makes a huge difference.

Yes, I do. The problem is that every time I do my heroic metamorphosis, the whole enemy team focus me.
I use first aid and evasion and still I feel like I die in a second.

Illidan is team dependant, heroes like abathur-tassadar-uther are very good with him.

Watch out for those stuns, and don't jump first, wait for your tank to engage or jump but do it if youknow you can escape.

Stone skin and first aid are also must picks.
