That said, yes, flaming is shitty. If you wouldn't say it IRL, don't say it. And it's always good to remember Noobs are generally, in fact, new. So try to be helpful, rather than harmful. I actually generally go out of my way to try to encourage Noobs who get flamed. I've taught enough people to be sympathetic. It's also worth saying that being welcoming can help to get people who are less of the 16-30 white or asian male demographics to pay more vidja games, which is good for all of us. | ||

If you have no healer, you need to take support talents. If you have a good healer, you can elect to do DPS. But you don't get to say "I want to Owl build" unless your team is covered in healing. I'e actually not been pigeon-holed playing Tyrande this week. Each time I was against another Tyrande or Tassadar or we had other supports. Haven't played her a ton though. I have been getting stuck double warrior a bunch when I queued Tyrael though and either I'm worse at Tyrael than I thought of playing off-tanks is a lot different from main-tanks (Muradin is probably my best hero, I still break out Stiches in QM every now and then too, I like main-tanking is what I'm saying). | ||

Leoric is also 10k. 30 dollars seems so much for a hero and some skins, no matter how cool they are. Certainly from my perspective the pricing is off for HoTS compared to say, Hearthstone where I will buy the odd pack or arena pass. But then I've never bought a purely cosmetic in game thing as it feels like a waste of money, mental barrier I guess. I do want nova now but grinding out the 10k for her... | ||

Also Artanis "Infernal Shrines is a three-lane Diablo-themed Battleground featuring three shrines that will periodically gather power. Teams can unleash this power by activating a shrine, defeating its guardians, and summoning a devastating Punisher to fight for them. These powerful bosses will spawn with one of three deadly affixes—Arcane, Frozen, or Mortar— and will hunt down nearby enemy Heroes as well as pushing the lane closest to their shrine." | ||

Has anyone noticed a pattern in the gold price reductions? I'm pretty happy to just play free week and the few favorites I've bought but I usually pick up the most recent reductions. Sometimes I miss the announcement if there is one. | ||

I've only been playing for four months and so much content has come out... During the most recent earnings call, they quoted Destiny, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm as combining for 1 billion in lifetime revenue (odd that they threw Heroes in there, but that has to be a good thing right?) Course, I haven't seen Blizzard add this much content this quickly in years, so that's another good sign that the game is doing well and getting lots of support from the company. It's all very exciting (even if I haven't had much time to play since Butcher came out =( ). | ||

It's all very exciting (even if I haven't had much time to play since Butcher came out =( ). They also said that Destiny+Hearthstone+Heroes have 70 million users. They also said Destiny had 20 million. The last info about hearthstone # of users was a little over 30. So that leaves another 20 for heroes. Probably though, Hearthstone has grown much more since the last time they revealed the number of users and heroes is closer to 10. Still not a bad number though. On the earnings call, while they didn't say the specific numbers, they did say that Heroes is doing pretty well in china, and that alongside the new f2p diablo model they released there, are a very big part of why Blizzard increased their profits this quarters even though they lost like 4 million wow subscribers. So it looks like the game is doing fine which is good to know. | ||
