The colour variations on the newer heroes looks really good. Whenever I flip through the paint jobs of some of the older heroes I don't see a bloody difference at all.

With Sonya being so popular at the Americas Championship, it seems like it's only a matter of time before Thrall starts getting more action. I have a very hard time seeing Sonya as a superior pick in most circumstances.

I was on vacation for a week and have not really Heroleagued since the restrictions on 3/4 man teams came down the line. On reviewing that tourney, it seems like the meta has shifted so much that the team comps are almost alien to me.

Time to learn the game again.

Sonya being picked everywhere suddenly, I feel like I missed a patchnote. But Sonya was always good, just hard to play her in team fights.

I want some Splatoon like color meter in Zagara vs Zagara QM. But that was the best QM game ever. covered almost 80% of the map in creep after the enemy just gave up clearing creep. Aslo 13 needs a creep talent !

SONYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I just discovered how amazing she is.

The key to playing her correctly in team fights is to play her like Illidan. Poke around the sides a bit, throw down a slam or two, but don't commit unless you see someone is clearly out of position. After that, you just chase down some poor squishy until they die and clean up fights. Sonya doesn't actually tank a whole lot, so it drives me crazy when people playing Sonya dive into the middle of a fight and then wonder why they melted so fast :/.

Playing Sonya into Illidan is AMAZZZZZING. He can't even come close to competing with her, not even in Metamorphosis.

Steps on how to play Sonya correctly:

1. Dive into the enemy team because Sonya is immortal.
2. Get melted instantly.
3. Blame SC2John for not healing.

Yeah I saw that. There is another interview on the reddit I think where they suggest that Zeratul and KT are going to get some nerfs/changes. Tyrande and Tassadar are also getting some changes, and I think that they are being changed to full supports or something like that from what I've heard.

Yeah, here it is:

I hope they don't mess with wormhole to much, because its a very cool and fun mechanic.

The issue with zeratul is not wormhole imo. It is his VP.

Yeah, this is definitely the case at the pro level and at the higher levels of HL. That said, his burst damage is probably a little bit too high following the buffs to Focused Attack and Follow Through, so I wouldn't be surprised if some adjustments were made to compensate. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of a nerf to him just so that people don't pick him away from me as much anymore.

The problem I have with that is Blizzard likes to nerf everything making heroes mediocre. That happened with Thrall, Arthas and Stiches where they nerfed their damage, their survaibility, and their mana cost instead of just focusing on nerfing just one thing.

I wouldn't like Zeratul damage nerfed, but Void Prision. About Worm hole that is a tricky one, because it is one of those must pick talents, and so it is likely Blizzard will nerf it. Altough frankly I think some of the must pick talents should be integrated into the ability itself and nerf them a little to compensate (not wormhole though, that would be imba, but others like Rune Tap for Arthas or the long dead Cast Aside).

Yeah, I listened to that video and all I heard is, "we're going to take away zeratul's burst damage, nerf wormhole so you can't micro with it, and nerf void prism". I'm pretty sure all three of those together will be overkill.

Well to be fair, Tychus, Valla and Tyrael each only had the one ability changed (although messing with an ult was enough to wreck Tychus).

Stiches also had some pretty mild nerfs, it took them 3 tries to completely destroy him =p.

After listening to all the things they think are problematic with Zeratul is probably why he hasn't been changed yet. I still don't know why they buffed his burst in the first place though.
