Ended up picking Tyrael, went 5-0 with him in HL so I'm pretty happy. Only thing I'm not liking is I'm rarely above 10% mana.

In other news: Leoric is available

Well you will get your chance to try chen too looks like this week.

Time for squishy tanks in QM in abundance, heh.

Glad Illidan and Tyrande have the level caps to stop the newest of the new using them. Bad Tyrande vs a real support = gg, bad illidan = gg.

haha Butcher Vs Lili. They really like evil matchups, like Nova vs Tassadar. Kael vs Hammer. Also poor Thrall.

You get Thrall for free then if you're level 15 you get good Thrall

I don't suspect I'll like Butcher that much, but I'm still eager to try him out.

excited to try azmodunk builds again. (and subsequently re-discover that I'm terrible at it and shouldn't spend 10k gold on him)

It will be madness with both thrall and butcher this week. I predcit a lot of people calling Butcher OP, and a lot of people dying helplessly all the time. It will be Illidan week all over again haha.

Melee assassins really seem to feel level differences the most. Unstoppable when ahead and hopeless feeders when behind.

As someone who has the most games with Butcher out of all heroes, I predict that most people will feed a lot with him than doing something useful. :D

So, I was in a heroleague game where someone was debating between Butcher and Valla. In allied chat during the draft, I said he could do butcher as long as he wasn't prone to just charging in and getting himself killed a lot. He said "Don't worry, I know butch." A few seconds into the match, my friend we were playing also typed, "Don't take lamb to the slaughter if their support takes cleanse"--- to which the butcher said, "I've played him a lot guys"

About four minutes goes by. We're in a pretty intense team fight which I've just successfully peeled us away from. All of a sudden I hear, "FRESH MEAT" and see a butcher charge from behind me into four of their enemy team with only a quarter of his health bar. Of course, he dies almost immediately and three seconds later the butcher player says "...my b"

I'm literally trying Nova for the first time today thanks to her being f2p. Having a blast in QM doing massive damage and sniping some intense kills.

I have a bit more sympathy for all those HL nova players now as she is admittedly very fun.

She really is, especially in the mage heavy meta. The feeling of kill or be killed is kind of exciting too (and often when you get the gank off you still die to the rest of the team lol).

Just started a new account on EU for a stimpak and funsies... Went 6-1 playing mostly auto-select (for faster queues... didn't work though). Was very interesting seeing game after game of free rotation heroes. The Nova's weren't as useless as I'd expected though the Lili's often were not very good (understandable, everyone tries to deal damage when they're new). Didn't see any ETC's except the one time I played him though oddly enough. I guess I'm the odd-ball who likes warriors.

Turns out newbs absolutely cannot handle Azmo pushing. Also, newbies don't know how to help me farm stacks so I was often very low on globe damage, oh well though, we still won most games (sole lose due to a Thrall who didn't understand objectives and a Nova who was chain-d/c-ing).

It's a little validating to know that I've gotten better even if my one game with Valla (first purchase to farm gold/xp with) was near-disasterous (sleepy, overconfident and talent gated are a dangerous mix).

It's good to have abathur and murky as free to play eventually, but putting them both on the same week doesn't seem like a good idea.

I've had a lot of fun with Butcher this week... he became one of my favorites! Trying Thrall now but unfortunately he seems like a weaker Butcher and I have a hard time getting close to enemies since everyone plays 4-5 assassins in QP and most ones are ranged >_< I'm picking Block and Spell Shield just to survive!
