Is there ever a reason to pick Chen? He seems pretty mediocre.

Wandering Keg is amusing.
Best healer imo is LiLi
[QUOTE=mralexs;48326584]Best healer imo is LiLi[/QUOTE]
The lack of direct healing keeps her from being best healer.
[QUOTE=mralexs;48326584]Best healer imo is LiLi[/QUOTE]
Speaking of Li Li, I just complaints from healing too much. "Don't waste mana on spamming heal, save them for team fights". I had loads of conjurer's pursuit stacks and so I gained 7.2 mana per second and Q costs 20 mana/3 seconds (lower mana cost talent), so I gained more mana than it was possible to use with Q. I have no idea who complaints about "mana waste" of a hero who is constantly at 90-100% mana.
So if you like [URL="http://media.giphy.com/media/44q2HllzfEH5e/giphy.gif"]spamming all your skills like there's no tomorrow[/URL](shitty gif warning), Li Li is for you.

I think it should have been among the [URL="http://madizzlee.deviantart.com/journal/Heroes-of-the-Storm-Contest-Winners-546109781"]finalists[/URL] but it wasn't even among the [URL="http://madizzlee.deviantart.com/journal/Heroes-of-the-Storm-Contest-Semi-Finalists-544485157"]semi-finalists[/URL].

all of them are incredibly ~epic~ and over the top with lots going on, while that one is very modest in its composition (which is of course not bad, but probably the reason why they didn't pick it). the only one i see in the semi-finalists that compares is this

but it has that crazy perspective thing going on and gives off a really tense vibe, while the one you posted feels static when it's not meant to be. it's still very good but it doesn't have the sense of movement that you'd expect from a mid-battle scene

Oh man, new hero and new battleground (and both look sick).
Edit:
Some people are also claiming that Rexxar is playable at Gamescom.

Okay, Monk seems super good.

"Artanis will be the first Starcraft Warrior in the Nexus, said to join the fight soon, with some heavy hitting abilities."
Rexxar looks like fun.
Before someone ask, Misha cannot be controlled separately. She attacks whoever Rexxar are attacking.

Divine shield that also heals for 75% of health, seems balanced.
I really hope that means they'll add Fenix as a Dragoon.

Starcraft Medic has been confirmed, focused on single target healing and can use Grenades to "disrupt" the battlefield. Also has a Medivac Dropship, that allows you to reposition the Medic and other Heroes across the battlefield.
I don't know if I can trust Blizz after Leoric. That Medic though sounds awesome
That sounds really freaking good.
[QUOTE=Hammernipples;48387692]I really hope that means they'll add Fenix as a Dragoon.[/QUOTE]
Someone asked Dustin Bowder about Fenix at Gamescon.
"Fenix was our first pick for the Starcraft Warrior, and our major sticking point was somehow incorporating (as a talent or trait) the lore of his defeat as a Zealot [B]transitioning him into a Dragoon[/B].
When we were having these discussions we were in the thick of testing Leoric, and an additional resurrection mechanic was something intentionally avoided. We'd discussed other Protoss characters, and by the grace of the SC2 team we were given permission to use Artanis based on his LotV appearance!"
Fenix is currently on hold for now, but it is almost confirmed that they will add him at some point.
Some beautiful skins are in the works.

Oh man, that sgt. doomhammer skin looks freaking amazing (BFG iron star, awesome).
The Uther skin and mount look incredible.

I already liked it when I saw it on a WoW picture, even though I strongly dislike the game itself.
Only shame is, that it would even more badass to go toe to toe with your enemy, looking like that and not while playing heal/stunbot, but it's great nevertheless
The vast majority of the master skins are not worth their 10K asking price, but Rexxars looks great.

Before I got my Abathur Master skin people complained the whole game and blamed me for every fault even if we won, now they thank, add and ask to play with me again.
It's a bit creepy how some people will judge you completely on such a small change, despite there being thousands of people far better at Abathur than me who don't own the master skin.

You seem to be implying that Leoric isn't amazing and super strong right now.

My friends and i got completely destroyed by a Nova wearing her pink Master skin, then faced another Nova without skins that turned out to be absolutely terrible.
Master skins are a good way to let both your Team and enemies that you have spent time on said hero, either for good or by grind.
In some cases it also looks good.

Yes I understand the reassurance by proof, a person is more likely to trust a medical professional if they are wearing a lab coat despite not going to do any work that requires it that day, in comparison to just having casual civilian clothes.
But that we rely on this confirmation so much that it is necessary to be able to treat people in a GAME like a human being is some real insecurity.
Though this isn't just this game or this community so sorry, I'm going off-topic.
I just thought it was interesting and a bit strange how we need to see proof for these things and it will change how we view and speak to a person.
