EPT1) not holding down alt long enough for the wheel to come up
2) Precision - make sure you ping the actual garden terror/enemy/the middle of the camp.
If you find it hard to make work, consider pinging the minimap.

Will I have to level all the heroes up to lv5 to have full access to skills in custom lobby draft mode? And I'm assuming I can only draft heroes that are free this week since I never bought any, correct? Nope. There is no skill gating after lvl 30, and you can only access Hero League at lvl 30. So the two never overlap. Also, you CANNOT use the weekly free to play heroes (unless you have bought them) in Hero League. You need to have 10 heroes purchased to play hero league, and you can only use your purchased heroes in Hero League. | ||

I'm talking about custom lobbies to play Draft mode for 3rd party tournaments. Is this feature also locked out unless you're lv30? | ||

Even when I click on the objective (camp, enemy player..) I still get that default radial menu with four options and 'asks assistance' message. Other players always call for something specific. For example: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/kxwsKFi.png) What am I doing wrong? Am I misclicking objects and getting the default ping options? This is partly my fault for the poor explanation earlier. When you want the radial menu you click and hold the mouse button until the menu comes up. When you just want a ping like "Zagara wants to kill the garden terror", you do a quick ping on the terror = Hold Alt then do 1 click onto the target(don't hold). That should get you the ping you want. You can also do the quick ping onto the minimap icon, and if you are close enough it will come up with the specific msg as well. | ||

Managed to figure it out on my own but thanks nonetheless! The game is awesome, haven't had this much fun for quite some time. Playing with siege tank or zerg queen brings me to my best sc2 days. Main is ofcourse Sonya, diablo barbs were always my favorites. | ||

Most of the games are incredibly one-sided, either for or against me and i have no idea what to do except looking for ppl to play with to avoid the random teammates I've gone from rank 35 soloq/duo to rank 11 in like 80-100 games since I started focusing on playing damage. For reference I play mostly kerrigan. Short and sweet answer is that if you are higher skilled than those on your team/the other team, you will have the most influence on the game as a big dps.Maybe this sounds dumb, but all else being equal, I believe that the highest skilled person of the ten people in the game will have the most influence on the outcome of the game if they play damage (as opposed to a warrior or support role -- specialist is negotiable). If you are good at roaming with zeratul or kerrigan or someone like that, you can often communicate that you would like to roam and secure an early advantage. This doesn't mean you win, but I've found that compared to the things you can pull off as a tank or a support (there are exceptions) you have more influence. Another example is a damage hero that can set up an engage. If you can set up a clutch maw or know JUST when to jump in as illidan or can snag a hero from seemingly nowhere as Kerrigan, if your team is worth a damn, they will jump all over that shit. Also for reference, I started out losing a lot of games in hero league because I like playing support/tank and would pick those. I am above average at those roles, but not great at them. I believe the same is true of damage, the only difference is, turning in an above average performance as a dps carries you further up the ladder then the other roles in my experience. | ||

Or will all skins/mounts be available for purchase no matter how long it's been out for? Just started the game yesterday and wanted to see if I missed any special event skins or anything. Yes. One example of a skin that hasn't been available for months are the Jaina and Rehgar Winter Veil skins. An example of (I believe) a currently unavailable seasonal skin is Harlequin Nazeebo, which was for Mardi Gras. | ||

This is so true. After playing couple of matches in HL as a healer, I feel so useless. I mean even people I met in QM were better. Sometimes I even assumed it's a bot playing instead of a human... I'll just do myself a favor and start playing DPS. | ||

One of the best ways rather than hero choice is to calmly offer suggestions in chat such as "stick together" or "take this camp" or "Kael'thas, stick to the back of the fight". If you are positive in chat when losing and then you win a couple of fights it can often turn games on their heads completely. Even if you lose people often get on board with the team work and effort. Some people of course are beyond saving. | ||

Like the Wonder Billie was only available during alpha / beta. I believe that's the only mount that was limited time only. There are other mounts / skins that are seasonal / rotate in and out of the shop. IIRC the flying carpet is temporarily unavailable, but will be back. | ||
