The only message I sent the entire game was at the beginning when someone said 'wow, an ice mage!' in chat. "Yup."
Jaina's a lot of fun, my choice for when I play assassain. Hit them with everything and watch them drop.

still its sort of hard to screw up what with a shared level pool and no gold, outside of feeding, theres not really the same difficulty curve that comes with other MoBAs, plus no last-hit mechanic which is just a bad mechanic leftover from WC3's engine
I'm having more fun with this reworked Kael.
Finally both his ults are viable options.

I still don't think Pyroblast is worth it. The extra range and the cooldown reduction is nice, but Phoenix is still sooo much better.

I think it's much much better than Phoenix on some maps and against some comps. Like in a few maps there are tons of tight spaces to fight in, so it's much more likely to get some aoe from Pyroblast. Not to mention I just love it when I'm against a Malf. If you drop your Phoenix he's just gonna heal all of his team from the piddling little damage it does. With Pyro I can often just obliterate the Malf, or a priority target before the delayed healing saves him.
I dunno I think it's hugely situational now. The range and cooldown make it a viable option. If you need zoning Phoenix is much better but if you need damage/burst Pyroblast is better. Phoenix seems super good on the new map though.

If Phoenix cooldown wasn't increased I would agree but now it's way too situational.
Went 7-1 as Kael'thas today to end off my Placement matches. I went from Rank 10 pre-patch to 14 in "placement", and immediately ranked twice after a win on Haunted Mines.
I was hoping there was going to be Starcraft leagues so I could be wood league.
How is Kael? Looking at the patch notes, looks like his competitive build got super nerfed.
Fury of the Sunwell looks super shitty just from reading it. Any good?

For Warriors, I only own Sonya and Diablo currently.
I tend not to play the type, as I've been enjoying assassain and specialist (Jaina and Zagara), or taking support (Li Li) if the need arises.
I have 13k gold at the moment. I know Kharazim is the hot thing right now, but what about the others?

Just save and buy whatever you find enjoyable from free weeks/try out option. If you want to start doing Hero league I'd suggest getting at least 3 heroes of each different type of hero. Both of the warriors you do have are currently on the weaker side compared to Johanna, Muradin, or leoric. Lili is a decent support but I'd suggest Uther and malfurion to get your 3. I wouldn't suggest spending 15k on any hero since the price will be dropping in 3 weeks. Better off building up your pick options by buying either 2 to 3 heroes Instead of just one.

Just so you know the monk is a support. I think the $5 bundle has Raynor, Malf, and Muradin so that might be something you would want to consider.
Dear teammates, please stop running into the entire enemy team to try and stop them from getting an objective even though you're the only one there and we're two levels behind.
"But I stalled them from getting the tribute/temple/coins!"
No, you've only delayed the inevitable. It's better to be down an objective than have someone dead AND be down an objective.
Also please stop going into team fights for the goddamn watchtowers AAAAAAAAAAAAAA :suicide:

Fission Bomb got nerfed (and buffed), but still is your best talent choice at level 7. Take Chain Bomb at 13 and whenever you fight at enemy gates or in tight areas, you pretty much win if you can double bomb someone.

Pyromaniacs buff, though nice, still needs an outrageous amount of mana through Mana Addict. It's easier and better damage with Chain Bomb than it is Pyromaniac.
What do you guys think of Seasoned Marksman? I am not sure if it's good or not, since it requires a certain amount of farm in a specific amount of time, to be valuable.
Like, how many stacks does one need for it to be considered valuable?

I like it on Raynor on the spider map but that's pretty much the only time I take it.
Also dang I just got off my biggest loss spree. Time to take a break for a couple days.

they weren't prepared
I currently have 11k gold.. I want that treasure goblin more than any sane man should.
So this guy I know, who has been banned for 3 days before for "National Abuse", has just been banned yet again for calling someone a "retarded mongoloid cunt".
He is literally everything wrong with the MOBA community, he constantly leaves matches and flames everyone the whole time. He keeps wanting to play with me and doesn't understand why I say no.
He doesn't know that every time I load up the game I throw a random report his way for flaming :v:
ive been getting into the game and id just like to say, fuck the AFK timer. kicked me just as me and my team were gonna get into a teamfight 10/10

How To Serve the Xel'Naga: A Compendium
(sorry for posting two games, i just felt really proud of this)
So in the past 72 hours, I have played 20 games. Out of those 20, I lost twice.
I finished my placement matches and got rank 15, then kept winning to get to 4.
I don't know if it's the ranking system that's broken, but I have never ranked up that damn fast off of a streak like that. The old system I would only gain like 4 ranks, not 11.
Probably since it's reset it takes less games to get higher rank since there hasn't been as many players playing ranked yet.
Yo bought boner king today and holy shit he's so strong. I don't know how he was pre nerf but I can only guess.

Skeletonking was nerfed?
[QUOTE=CaptainHijacks;48520016]Skeletonking was nerfed?[/QUOTE]
Right? It doesn't even feel like it. Some of his regen doesn't work as well when he's dead and no double damage to towers with his q.
I know everyone says this but Blizzard really fucking needs to fix this outrageous matchmaking. How many times in a row now have I gotten 3 assassin 1 specialist teams?!
I take back what I said about the AI, it's still completely retarded. The only time the AI on either team went for a temple was when 4 enemies were destroying our forts.

I mean, it's a nerf to the people who died a lot as him in the first place, I guess. But for anyone decent, he's barely nerfed at all.
