Honestly, it doesn't take very long to unlock everything. I've been playing for ~4 months and have all but four heroes unlocked with only about $40 spent on extras.

I assume it'll stick around until the end of Eternal Conflict, which will probably be around another month or two. So three weeks of treasure goblin kills will let you tame one!

So Blackheart's Bay, Haunted Mines, Garden of Terror are the removed maps.

Not surprised about the first two, I guess Garden is just the odd map out this time.

I'm assuming Blackheart's and Mines are permanently removed, because if so, why rotate 6 of 7 maps? I do wonder if they'll be tuned while they're gone though.

yah Raynor is a badass single target Damage Dealer who can save stupid allies by pushing enemies away. And he is basically unkillable when his adrenalin rush is ready.
But you can't turn around games with him on your own. So it doesn't matter how badass you are, if your teammates suck your screwed on him.

Doesn't help that healers usually ignore you. Without the stat increase though I would consider the current changes a nerf. On the other hand now he cancels every stun Ult against him already on level 13.

But after every change Raynor went high on the winrate, because other people played him. Not only the one lane all day farmers. You know from Carbot episode 1

Started a new account tonight, so I'd have an account with the name MotherFox on it--- and so I can have an account to just kind of screw around on. I did not realize players were so bad in the lower MMR dregs---- literally players worse than AI. Simply soaking correctly is winning me games. At one point as Sgt Hammer with graduating range I sat there for ~3 minutes while the enemy team a-moved towards me and died in staggered order constantly. This included an enemy hammer who tried hover siege-sliding towards me....


I feel bad for anyone starting the game this week. After you are through the tutorial, your options for characters are Lili, Sgt Hammer, Rehgar, ETC, and Gazlowe. Not exactly characters that are the most fun to start with, IMO. (Except for maybe ETC, but even then)

Monk is so fun, imo a bit too good because of mobility and is very flexible because of it.
I just wished they had the bell drop skill in the game (the seven side strike is cool but The weird pause animation after the spell ends is awkward)

no idea how you pulled that off. i've been playing since beta (~1000 games), have maybe half the heroes unlocked. Guess i do take a week off here and there though.

I play at least 10 games a day, with few exceptions. Not grinding, though--- the game has just held my interest.

edit->
my main account says I have played 1419 games. I've also enjoyed the effects of 3 or 4 stimpacks: one from when I was leveling my account, one from the giveaway a few months ago, a partial one given as an apology for ending a stimpack early, and a final one I just received for buying the warhorse for $2.50.

Since I was bored, I went ahead and did a breakdown on my account:

I've been playing heroes for 149 days. Assuming a daily quest value of 355 gold, that I complete them almost immediately, and I played 1419 games, I get the following-

Daily quests- 52,895 gold
Hero League Games- 1,710 from 57 wins and 1,100 from 55 losses
Quickmatch games- 9,240 from 308 wins and 5,860 from 293 losses
AI- 3,390 from all wins

16k from player level up
20 characters at level 9: 20*750 = 15,000
40 characters at level 5 = 20,000

altogether that's 109,000 gold.

edit-> PLUS 58 days of eternal conflict

114,800 gold!

I've purchased with real money zeratul, sonya, zagara, jaina, arthas, kerrigan, chen, gazlowe, kharazim, and azmodan for a total of around $54. I also received Diablo for free from a recent promotion.

All I have left is johanna, abathur, thrall, butcher, and nova.

I underestimated a little bit on how much I've spent on the game---but not by much. And I could have all current characters in another two months, especially since I anticipate getting a starcraft warrior for free with LOTV.

So, it's pretty possible to buy all the characters with gold in a fairly short amount of time with comparable cash investment to other games. I've been playing since early april.

Don't forget Goblin daily quest kills if you didn't include that somewhere already and just didn't mention it. (It started June 30th)

Oops---- though it looks like it started july 21st? http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/19803324/heroes-of-the-storm-patch-notes-updated-july-21-2015-7-21-2015

Of course, I also didn't account for the gold increase from stimpacks. Getting 75 gold per win instead of 30 is pretty darn good if you play as much as I do.

No they just updated it July 21. If you look at the comments there are ones from June 23rd, which is when the original ptr notes went up, then it came out a week later. Blizzard really shouldn't change the post date at the top though, that's odd.

Oh, and despite all my riches, my most treasured possession in the game is still my wonder billie. There's just something about blasting a trail of hearts everywhere I go that brings joy to my inner soul.

Ahhh, I see where I went wrong. I seem to remember this happening to me before with a blizzard post of some sort--- maybe for a map rotation in sc2. I should have known better.
