It's amusing to me that Orcs have three Assassins, one Support and zero Warriors, given how I usually imagine Orcs.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

Technically they have 1/4th of a Warrior considering Rexxar is half orc, and Rexxar is only half of a hero.
Incremental change is the Democrat version of Trickle Down economics.

Cool that mirror image in that clip with illusion master is channeling objective, (real Samuro is in the bush at the start, then switches places at the end)

Seens like my style.
I just hope he can sustain some damage, even if that means less dps. More like a bruiser, less focused on the sneaking tricks.

If that is the case i will have a tracer moment, playing the same hero over and over like a douche.
In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

Indeed, really like the animations. Valla skin is cool as well.

Can't wait for Samuro, it will probably be instant buy for me.

These new skins are really cool (except KT's). Deputy Valla is especially nice.

Have to agree, I think KT has got some of the worst skins in the game unfortunately

I'm worried about that too, especially because there has already been confusion in drafts and matches between certain skins/ faces.

New Xul skin doesn't look like standard skin but it also doesn't look like anything else so even without the minimap everyone will know who that guy in front of them is.
