I think that is good for queue times for quick match since the changed heroes will see lots of play anyway. All your heroes will need to be level 5 to play them in hero league after the patch, so queues for Dehaka Quick Match are going to be even longer than normal when a new hero is released.

Isn't that the least efficient gold wise?
If we use the the scale of (1 dollar = 1000 gold) derived from the 10 dollar price for 10,000 gold heroes.
Tychus is 6.50 for a 4000 gold hero, So 4,000 gold divided by 6.50 = approx 615 gold per dollar. Quite the decrease.

Point being, should buy expensive gold heroes and spend gold on cheap heroes.

...even though tomorrow ill be dishing 15k gold for dehakka .

I mainly just don't want to pay actual money for Tychus on principle.

I'm pretty sure he meant he is spending his gold on Tychus rather than Dehaka, not that he is buying Tychus for real money so he can spend his gold on Dehaka. Early impressions are that Dehaka is not going to be worth spending 15k gold on. The queues are going to be really long for most of the first week, and his power level appears to be bottom of tier 2 at best. He certainly isn't going to be Li-Ming/Xul release level, and he is going to face a ton of Tychus counter play this week.

Mewnfarez is playing him in Hero League right now and seems very high on him. Global presence + gank means he's playing his as quite the lane-bully in the early game. Also, Dehaka is super tanky.

But ya, unless you haev a way to get Lvl 5 asap to play in HL, Dehaka queues are going to be insane so maybe not worth 15k for that reason alone.

Well, there's 50 heroes in the game, 10 free every week, giving you a 1/5 chance. Considering they practically never give Abathur, Murky or TLV rotation slots, that makes it even higher chance for heroes like Butcher.

Not to mention that the newest 5 heroes are also almost never in free rotation.

As if I read all Nova related comments... Ok I do, thanks for asking. :-)

Game plan: no risk, don't try to burst like the old Nova, remember you're useless in fights before level 7 (still participate) and you're OP at 16 with (double) Crippling shot. Don't abuse flanking, you can stay in the backline an outdps pretty much every hero in the game except a good Lunara, if you play well.

Level 1: all are good, but the range on pinning shot is the best (Longshot), and the speed boost when you're cloaked is useful too (Advanced Cloaking). Worst talent is the increase of the slow, and it's still quite nice TBH. The mana regen is nice too but a bit too underperforming IMO (but you feel more free to use your mana on waves or camps).
Level 4: all suck, the "less CD and less mana decoy" (Rapid projection) is better since you always have mana issues, but if you go lethal decoy (don't go lethal decoy) pick the "longer lasting decoy" (Holo Stability) as it'll output more damage obviously.
Level 7: One in the Chamber gives you a critical AA after each ability use. Remember to use an ability (even the decoy), do an attack, use an ability, do an attack... Now you have good sustained damage.
Level 10: Nuke of course. So much utility. If you're very good with Triple Tap AND if you go for the level 20 upgrade on Triple Tap, go for it. But nuke is way better, with a really low 60 secs CD (TT has 100 secs) and combo potential (Zag, ETC, Jaina, Zeratul, Tassadar, Johanna's stun...). And nuke has global range. Global range is always awesome.
Level 13: Double pinning shot (Double Tap), because now your combo has 1 more ability and you'll have more critical auto attacks.
Level 16: honestly, if you still have your 3 keeps by now, and are not too behind in levels, it's GG. Crippling shot, with 2 charges thanks to level 13. Now their tank will melt, and if they don't adapt to your pick (they usually don't notice) they won't even understand why they were fine until now and why they die instantly now.
Level 20: Never used the special cloak escape (Ghost Protocol, cool name) more than 1 or 2 times because to me it sucks and I loved bolt of the storm wayyyy more. Now I take the 2nd nuke, because I play "team friendly Nova" (to me nuke = utility and combo). If you take Rewind you'll have the friggin' longest combo ever. Probably too long, but it's a good choice too.

TBH I don't find Nova very much effective in QM anymore since you cannot burst the noobs (now it's Zeratul's job) unless you're really ahead in levels, or they really suck. But in HL, I don't even understand how she has 50% winrate on hotslogs, she feels like the most OP hero to me. I hope Blizzard don't touch her until my smurf is rank 1 too. ^^
