This weird thing just happened in HL (yes HL, not QM). They picked no tank and no healer, their last two picks being Abathur and Murky. All five of the enemy team were solo queue.

Their Illidan was lvl 20, their Abathur was lvl 18 (went Monstrosity).
Shortest game ever. Too weird. Too funny. Huh?

Silenced accounts. I've noticed more and more silenced accounts which just do their own thing and never help with the game. I think it might be their own special way of "getting back" at being punished.

Yes. Silenced account guys don't talk in draft and tend to be in dick mode very often, so they'll pick abathur or murky and won't change. So more people will do the same. And it's not fun for either team usually.

Awesome game yesterday, I was tired, 1st pick so I went ETC. The opposite team gets Illidan, Xul and Diablo. My team, despite my warnings that I'll have trouble peeling those 3, pick Zag, Raynor, KT and Morales. Friggin' Morales with no frontline versus a dive team.
This game was awesome, I only peeled all game, protected my team like a boss, followed guys who overextended.... and they did tons of damage. We should have lost this, especially if the opponent successed in being more coordinated. Felt so good.
Next game we have the opposite configuration (me 1st pick ETC), all divers + jaina, vs 1 warrior Abathur team. Wiped them.
Without a doubt my 2 best games with ETC ever.

I was afraid of losing heavily once I reached rank 1. Turns out I kept winning:

10-win streak, 4 of those after reaching rank 1. Maybe I do belong at this rank... or I'm just lucky

Now off to relax on my Abathur account.

Team firstpicks tassadar/murky. It's times like these I'm glad I spent a lot of time playing abathur. As expected we almost lost the game until level 16, then steamrolled.

Funny game, it was solo queue QM, we're 3-1-1 and we queue into a troll 5 specialist pre-made...of course, we're all specs and asses. I thought it was going to be real bad but we just kept killing them over and over. Game lasted really long because every engagement was like a 4 for 2 cause no healer.

That awesome moment when you play a solid game with Brightwing, and at their core, Diablo says "GG, especially BW", and KT adds "awesome BW". And you check your stats and see that you never died (only player in the game), healed a lot more than the opponent and probably did your best game ever with BW.

I just satisfied a goal I've been dreaming of since I bought chen and successfully bumped a toon past my tower and into the no go zone on towers of doom. Best Kill Ever.

noticing a lot less toxicity right now.

Even had a game, Me as Abby, where a guy defended me from verbal attacks from the useless Raynor. Dunno the exact words anymore but went sth like this:

Raynor: Aba you are bad .... Noob Aba ... Died bc loser Aba ...
Me (Abby): What ?? I don't even
Friendly guy: Dude, Aba is basically carrying your ass this whole game. More damage, less death, team playing, less annoying, no trashtalking, .... list goes on
Raynor: BUT I DIED YOU STUPID ****
Friendly guy: You went 1v5 and are suprised you died.... yeah that says it all
Me (Abby): :DDDDDD

Just played a game on Infernal Shrines where it was Xul, Diablo, Rehgar, Muradin, and Johanna against Murky, Gazlowe, Malf, Valla, and Artanis (me). I went full tank build Artanis with Purifier Beam. We were behind basically the whole damned game because our comp ate donkey balls (not that theirs was great). Then I hit 16 and was able to pretty much tank their entire team simultaneously. Then we hit 20 and I got Target Purified. I basically wiped those bastards singlehandedly twice in a row. It was absolutely obscene.

Afterwards, I changed my pants.

We got first pick Murky main on BHB and I was 2nd pick. The 2nd pick alongside me prepicked BW. So I said "fuck it" and locked in Abathur

We destroyed the other team with Murky/Abathur/BW/Leoric/Jaina, it was glorious blowing them up in entombe with double Jaina and then clearing with hatted Murky.

Don't google it. ;-)

Last pick of my team, ETC pre selected. The reds pick ETC last. And I really only play ETC. No other warrior (I'm ok with Leoric but he's useless at peeling vs their Greymane). So they advise I take Muradin. First ever HL game with him (and I probably haven't played Muradin in a year or so), and we stomp them. He's like stupid easy to play. I missed all my stuns in the first 5 minutes, and then we rocked them. Hard.
My only death is on their core on our last push, and I participated in 100% of our takedowns. EZ.

Saw Oddish in a HL game last night. Was neat to recognize a famous name from a tournament in one of my normal games.

I beat Endersword who made youtube videos for SC2 right after release of SC2 as Heart of the Swarm was coming out. He tried to hide a dark shrine against me on Ohana. Strange how these things happen, kind of fun really. I assume she wasn't on your team then?

On my team, yes. I think we lost because of me -_-. (took medivac instead of stim with our comp being sonya/KT/johanna/abba/medic. Oddish said it might have sac'd too much teamfight potential, since we didn't get opportunities for strategic plays)
