Seconded.
My exact reaction.
EDIT: I like playing Rogue in Heathstone but can't stand this lady at all. I'm day one when they sell a reskin for her. Anyone from the pre-WoW lore, Maeiv would be great
Um, there are not many canadians playing HotS competitively.

I just wanted to say how much I'm loving Dehaka and Artanis lately. Killing it with both heroes on the reg. So happy. I can even get away with solo tanking as either, which is absurd to think only a few months ago.

Can they even kick someone when they all just got signed?
Could also be from a minor team as well.

I've been holding onto 30k just in case gold dump mounts come back. I don't like the nexus charger that much, but I might well grab it just to justify my hoarding. Then again, I'm hitting L10 with a bunch of characters all at once, and some of them have good master skins...
What I really want a second chance at from that blizzcon bundle is the Heroes emblem for StarCraft II.

Yes, he's a little awkward with body blocking and sometimes A moving, especially with his Q enabled
I had to go read Wikipedia for Valeera. I haven't played WoW in years so I had no idea who she is. Her backstory sounds pretty cool as a companion of Varian.
For those folks who don't play WoW she will be a complete question mark though. I would reckon that D.Va is far more recognizable at this point.
I think they screwed something up. Having the same issue with Zul'jin from time to time. Clear path ahead of me and it wants to run me into destroyed objects while a moving.
Hearthstone is pretty popular.
I only know her from Hearthstone, never played WoW. D.Va would be soooo goooood, she's one of my favorites!

For a Diablo character they can always add Mei

because she's the devil right?
I fucking love Mei, i'd be thrilled if they added her to HOTS. She's such a troll.
My most wanted OW heroes:
-Rein
-Dva
-Mei
-Zenyatta
If they keep adding stealth heroes I feel like the game needs better/more ways to reveal them.
Also, where's the damn supports/main tanks? There's like 60 heroes in the game but every match has the same 3 to 4 heroes because they lack good options in main roles.
Edit: Idk if that's true. But either way, there's definitely grossly outnumbered by assassins/specs.... doesn't help that most specs are basically just assassins anyway. Game probably just continues to be bogged down by the roles system.

Ah I didn't realize she was featured in Hearthstone. I've not really played that game very much beyond the first couple of tutorial matches.

they just buffed scouting drone to reveal stealthies.
Hard to design and less popular so understandable there are less off but we really are on a long streak of non essential heroes. Johanna was the last main tank added to game not counting Diablo buffs.

Ehhh varian can main tank, and dehaka can sort of now too

can and being one is a difference. Sonya can main tank from 16 on if you count varian. I've main tanked with Zarya.

Ya but Varian is actually a main tank, it's not a matter of "can"

He's too weak early on to make a good main tank isn't he?

You have to play fairly conservative until 10, but he has engage, tons of cc, big health pool. Most definitely a main tank.

In other news Snitch bodied Glau in chess.
But that's the whole issue. Does he really make up for it post 10? Azmostacks was a strategy that needed to be played conservatively but if successful Azmo chunked people.

Yes he does. Warbringer stun + taunt = dead person.

That just puts him on par with other heroes not above and doesn't make up for the weak start.

Stats don't lie. 61% win rate overall w/ tank varian, 64% in master. Its good I promise.

I'm not seeing the same winrates on hotslogs and doesn't really speak towards solo capability.

Bottom of page, sort by master/diamond at top of page for master win rates.

eh 226 games played doesn't say much, and at master not even enough to show a table. If you just look at taunt the winrates are ~50% and ~56% respectively, but that still doesn't speak to his solo tank capabilities.

Pretty clearly a stronger earlygame and/or a stronger payoff post 10
taunt is fine, but you still need another front liner or you're team comp suffers.
Like you can't really pick varian inplace of muradin, johana, or etc.... when I feel like those three are interchangeable in many cases.
And maybe blizz is correct in not making more "one size fits all" heroes for specific roles, in the long run they're probably doing the exact right thing.
But for right now, there's so many more assassins and specs that it seems like it's very common to end up in situations where you need a very small subset of heroes to fill out the team.
I actually feel like they were getting away from that with the run of a medivh, Ariel, zarya, varian and ragnaros..... like it would be really interesting if zuljin could cast his heal on someone else....
I don't really know what I'm even going on about anymore, but I guess that's a king winded way of saying that I don't think the game needs a stealth assassins right now..... unless they have some cool team utility maybe.

Grand master Milly inc?
Doubtful, lol. I went 3-7 last placement and wound up at Plat 5 IIRC after finishing Diamond 3 the season prior.

Hah you know how he'd be complaining about matchmaking if he were streaming.
