The game was disgusting with my only dying because I flew into fountain when low on health as we ended with boss on core. I also got to play a game as sonya where we were against Raynor, Valla, and Jaina as damage and wrecked house with leap. I don't feel like I get an opportunity to play it, but diving in like that against valla and jaina especially was so satisfying *ahhAAAA* | ||

I'd always avoided getting him before, thinking he isn't a good solo queue hero and the only melee assassin I've played properly was Kerrigan. But I figured, since he is coming back into the meta a lot I'll learn to play him. And with a Morales and Abathur for support and ETC for more attack speed, Illidan is a ton of fun to play. With the level 4 talent that allows you to Dive to friendlies, he is also a lot safer to play than what I thought he would be. He can still get blown up easily but with good support you can just keep dancing around targets and sustaining yourself. It was already a good game when it happened. We just got bottom keep on Tomb of the Spider Queen. Already there we got two enemy heroes down, mostly thanks to Blades of Azzinoth, which is an amazing talent, granting you a whopping 75% attack damage bonus. Coupled with Thirsting Blade on 7, the lvl 20 Metamorphosis and the support I had, I just did not die. Period. I ended up killing nearly the entire enemy team near the keep with just my own abilities when I figured, since the enemy team is mostly dead, we could threaten core. However, the rest of my team was getting a bit low and just as the core shields fell, the enemy team was respawning. Luckily, they all crowded around their core and I got off two Sweeping Strikes that instantly refilled Blades of Azzinoth. Even with the core shooting me for most of it, the enemy team just couldn't kill me. With the attack speed buff from Abathur and ETC, my health came back as hard as it dropped. I stayed on near death health (< 10%) for atleast a solid 5 - 10 seconds with the core shooting me aswell but the enemy team just couldn't last as long and they ended up all dying to Illidan, though half my team was dead as well when that was over. At this point the core was all that was left and I was able to solo it easily, winning the game. I just didn't die when I really really should have. The self sustain he has with support and Blades of Azzinoth is amazing. Not bad for a first ever game on Illidan. | ||

It was Thrall from the previous game, he was banning for the other team. That awesome feeling when people ban your main hero because they thought you were a threat and played well. :-) I can't imagine the amount of flame he got from his team, it's not like Nova has a great winrate on hotslogs. But it was a good move as it's really my best hero, by far. We end up winning though (I took BW). | ||

feels super good when team captain gives you shit for your abathur pick and then you basically win the fights alone with symbiote build and KT clone | ||

Enemy bans KT. I ban Li-Ming Enemy picks Rexxar. We lock in Tracer and Zagara. Enemy team lock in Jaina and Uther. I ban Falstad. They ban Rehgar. We pick ETC and Morales. They pick Thrall and Artanis. So here I am on my last pick. Team says "we have only 1 damage dealer, lock in assassin". (obv Zagara is a specialist). So I start thinking. My Thrall was taken away, I don't want to pick Zeratul into 3 bruisers+Uther, my Sonya is terrible. Then I noticed Jaina is their only ranged damage dealer and did the only sensible thing. Locked in my level 5 Chen for the first time in HL. Best game of my life. 0 deaths, most tanked damage and 3rd most dealt damage in the entire game. I bullied Thrall in the lane and then removed Jaina from every fight while also securing other kills. It was amazing. I fucking love playing Chen. all hail the panda king | ||

So today, my friend and I end up with this R1 guy and his R20 friend Morales (he literally only plays Morales). We play, they get greedy and I ping them to back like A LOT after an immortal push. They don't back, they die to their Illidan chasing (and 4 guys following), I use my Q and W to peel (ETC) but then OOM and not willing to suicide for 2 greedy kids I part ways. They die, one of them was Tracer, how can you overextend so much you get chased 30 full seconds on bot lane and die WITH TRACER ! So they both insult me, and not a little "fuck you". No, they stop playing and type a lot. I mute + report + tell them to not waste their APMs. They were already salty in draft, the rank 20 flamed me because I last pick ETC vs their Johanna. I end up best tank, 1 death (all my team is at 3-4), and 2 game changing Mosh Pits. I mean, the R1 guy is a dick, but somehow he made it to R1 so ok, I can understand he thinks the whole world is filled with noobs (he's wrong of course). But the R20 was living in a world of dreams where R20 people can call everyone noob (me and my friend are R6). Next game I play versus them. They pawn us until mid game (6 forts to 3, 3 levels behind when they get level 12). Then 1 of the toxic kids gets greedy on lane AS TYRANDE, probably to tease us. I kill him (Nova). From this point we wipe them on boss (they get boss and kill me though) and we rock their face again and again from now on. They couldn't do anything at all. So I spent a good amount of time trolling them after the game, sending troll message, then blocking them again so that they can't reply, then trolling, then blocking... It was so good. SO GOOD. | ||

We get 1st pick KT. They get 2 warriors, Stitches Tyrael. So I say "hey guys don't go for greedy picks we need some melee heroes". We get Lunara Nazeebo. (sure, why adapt to the other team ?) They get Artanis Nova (3 warriors, and we have 3 of the biggest DPS of the game, but no frontline) My friend and I have no available melee healer. If we pick anything but 2 frontline CC heavy heroes, we lose. We know that for sure, so that rules out a healer. So we go for no heal and pick ETC + Muradin. Malfurion Our team kinda complains but understands why. And what a game it was, they almost never could harm KT / Lunara / Nazeebo in the entire game. With 2 fat-asses heavy CC heroes like Muradin and ETC, they had no hope to reach our DPS, they had not enough heal, and no DPS at all since we never let Nova do damage. 15 minutes of laughing at how unlikely it was to crush them that much without healer at all. | ||

Played with a KT who had 8 deaths to my losing 4 vikings the vikings game, which I was proud of, I love seeing people who don't know vikings underestimate their damage at 20 too. Makes me laugh soooooo hard. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/AM96D0X.png) The composition that could. TLV giving away vikings like they were candy. Murky doing jack shit until all the sudden around 16, we started getting picks left and right, Somehow pulling this away from the real team on Towers of Doom. | ||

So yesterday evening / night in HL solo queue i met the most laidback ppl in HL I've ever met and the most amazing thing is that for a few games in a row, with different ppl almost any game, I had so much FUN! Did not expect to have FUN with this game ever again, lol. Just from the getgo we were macking jokes, when someone was ganked we laughed and said stuff like "dayum you got destroyed there mate lol". When we lost a teamfight everyone was like "sorry guys, my fault" and then the next said "what? no totally my fault dude" and then "what are you talking about?? I totally whiffed that" and so on. In 5 games I lost one but it was still really fun and had 2 amazing comeback that would have never been possible with the kind of toxic assholes you normally meet. In one game on Tomb we had no structure left vs 5 structures but they couldn't kill us. So at 28mins in the game we almost wipe them, get turn in and dedcimate 4 of the 5 structures left. We didn't wanna risk anything cause we got another turn in line up. We then turn in again and voila, we win. Another game was on Dragon Shire. Also behind the whole game. We then kill their Sylvanas 2 times on the map and then, I'm guessing, it became toxic on their team because everything after was easy as pie. ha, FUN, wow. Just when I stopped believing in it's existence ... Good times  | ||

I knew I was better than my rank last season suggested (always around Gold 2-4), but for whatever reason I could not climb - now it works out insanely well. + the Promo match for Dia III was kind of awesome: We get wrecked all game on Cursed Hollow. Never get a Curse, they get 2 of them. We got no Keep left, they only lost one Fort so far. Multiple Merc Camps and 5 opponents are pushing our core, basically the entire region around our core is covered in red... ... Jaina lands a good Ring of Frost and I as Kerrigan hit my combo + Maelstorm. 4 of them die immediately. We just rush their core and win. Not the most masterful way of getting promoted, but whatever :D | ||

EU pro team Dignitas is bootcamping in Korea leading up to Blizzcon. MVP_Rich welcomes them to Korean hero league: henrax said: So Dignitas players started Korean HL today (since they are waiting for Snitch who has Visa issues to start scrims) and the duo Bakery - Athero faced Rich and Sign twice. Both times they didn't respect the #1 drafting rule of Korean meta : always first ban Illidan. Edit : and also, at the very end of the first clip you can see Mene telling Rich "we will do it too then  ". It's because just before he asked Rich "So do we need to ban Illidan against you ?" and Rich said : "we always ban Illidan in Korea".Full matches are on Rich's stream VOD for 10/13 | ||
