Anyone else get the sense that two-warrior comps are pretty damned strong in the current meta?

I'm not sure it matters for the most part. Most warriors do at least a decent amount of sustained damage if built for it.

Johanna+Chen best combo

About the meta thing...I don't know if that is going to end up being the "standard" team composition but it definitely seems strong. Still, I think most team comps are viable really.

Yup I like double warrior now. The reason being that burst heal is much harder to come by (because of malf, nerf on shield and promote which make tassadar and tyrande less attractice too) but burst has hardly gone down, only blood for blood basically.
Double warrior let's you sustain with the massive heal of malf easier without dying to burst. It's just quite dangerous for 'classic' 3 dps, 1 heal, 1 tank comps with that healer lacking burst and some heroes that are very good against this comp like zeratul being good.

If you get rehgar (or uther perhaps but I don't like him atm) I still like the more traditional comp though, especially if you got one muradin/johanna who can solo tank quite well. If you run malf I like a second tank usually involving tyrael or anub'arak.

Bruisers are in a rough spot, zeratul is awesome as melee assassin with his autoattack build but the heroes like illidan, kerrigan and the butcher are tough to use well i think. Just so squishy if you don't get rehgar and don't like picking an off-support like tassadar now to help them out unless im facing zeratul. Tyrande + butcher is interesting though and quite the roaming squad.

Picked Nazeebo back up since Anub is nerfed *to the ground*. On a 8 game winstreak (HL, single digits), what's up? He didn't get buffed at all except the jumping spiders fix. Only one game I didn't top hero damage, and that's because I died during core push.


My first thought is that too many of the newer players/heros just aren't used to countering zombies that *aren't* a ring around one guy. I (and most other good) Nazeebos use them more like Forcefields from sc2 - control where the enemy can go. So many KT/Jaina/Butcher will dive too far into a teamfight and then just get fielded out and die, seems like that never used to happen when he was en vogue.

Other thoughts - I really, really like Thrall now. His synergy with poke comps is just awesome and he's vicious in triplemelee setups. Also, we've started calling The Butcher "The Feeder". I'd say 80% of the people I've see him just run in and die far more often than is excusable.

They are constantly banning/warning/suspending people who are toxic or AFK, look in reddit and the battle.net forums for people complaining about that xD. But this is specifically regarding to more serious stuff.

2 of my friends got banned and we have no idea why. We're all average players that know each other from other Blizzard games, we spend money from time to time, we usually play together, none of us got suspended/banned in years, etc.

Now ofc I can't guarantee for anyone but myself... still, it seems weird. It would be useful to know at least what caused the ban other than the generic "abuse of game mechanics".

There was a dude on reddit that said his friends got banned for doing AFK stuff

A lot of my friends got banned too. They sent a ticket and got told they got banned because they went afk and attacked something all 30 seconds or so. I think blizzard categorised this as exploiting game mechanics and therefore so many got banned without using actual exploits.

Yeah I read it but that's not the case... I mean, it's possible that someone went AFK for a few seconds for a phone call, or AFK for the last 30 seconds of a bad game (I did it myself a couple times for sure). Repeatedly circumventing the AFK detection seems highly unlikely though, at least I never saw it in the hundreds of games played together.

Just realized that Thrall's Sundering grants him a stack of Frostwolf Resilience for each enemy hit. I was wondering how I went from almost zero to 100 in less than a second without Rehgar, or any healer for that matter, on my team. Shit had me befuddled until I watched the replay.

I saw it happen a few times. But so far only one Hammer player did it from level 7 on where the person thought we lost, until the end where we won. Hope that fellar got banned.

Usually people only keep it up for a few minutes before they regret being assholes. Or realize that the other 4 players will continue to play and report them.
That behavior kinda vanished the last months. Maybe the block chat button at the beginning of the game does something useful. Apart from creating more players that do their thing even at high level.

Have an Azmodan on the Spider map yay, add in a Jaina that cannot be contacted, while she happily cleans wave after wave with her arcane intellect talent. The result is a stomp with Azmodan getting a grand total of 80 stacks.

Maybe the crying about bans everywhere helped aton. I mean there were even gold farming bots in Beta, haven't seen those in a while as well. Though I don't play at night anymore lol.

I feel like GoT is largely redundant when it comes to gathering seeds, because it's just like gathering HM skulls but there's no confrontation (most of the time, one team goes one terror and the other team goes the other terror). And I just get tired of the final objective being "Summon Giant X", whether it's a DK or a Terror or even an Immortal. At least with BB and CH, there are forced battles over objectives that focus on different things.

Double warrior is good because most of the time warriors bring CC. CC is key to secure kills, the better the players are the more you need CC to actually finish that guy and not let him escape at 10%hp.

I'm sure you've had these games where you have on paper a great teamfighting comp but you just lose lanes to a roam/gank squad full of cc and feel like you never had a chance even if the game drags on a bit because you are 2/3 levels behind. This game snowballs VERY fast and early kills can quickly get you a level lead which can mean game over if you don't stop grouping.

Tanks are also more beefy and most of the meta tanks have good escapes so they are less likely to feed early.

On an other note, protip of the day : play Rehgar, max chain heal (every talent related to chain heal, don't even take healing totem at lvl 1, you need the 45 mana chain heal) and acquire free elo. He's also a soft counter to the imba KT because he is basically the only healer that can heal his gigantic poke aoe. At level 16 you have a 45 mana chain heal that bounces to 4 targets on a 6second cooldown. Play it before it's nerfed !

I understand the sentiment. But BB plays so horribly imo. The gimmick - free, indefensible siege damage - is really irritating to me; I have this issue with Sky Temple too, but at least there you can continuously contest the temples.

BB's design, with the multiple lanes in mid etc just adds to it being a bit of a clusterfuck. I'm not massively keen on Cursed Hollow for the horrible fights around the tributes for the same reason. But then again I play ranged assassin/specialists pretty much exclusively, so maybe that's why.
