    Well after a few more tries I've realized that I only liked the concept of Cho'gall not the actual implementation... I mostly run specialists; Abathur, Zagara and Hammer being my default goto....

    But I've had quite some fun with Uther and Kharazim, playing a tanky support is quite different from being the squishy whipping boy I'm used to in Dota.

    To play Chogall and actually have fun, you need to be in voice chat of some kind with the other head.

    Cho needs to be calling when the bowling ball goes out, when he's running in and out, when ults are coming up, etc. Gall just needs to blow shit up constantly, but you become a helluva lot more accurate when Cho is telling you where he is going/what he is doing/when hes running away so you know to hit Z.


    When youre playing with a buddy who youre talking to, you feel like a goddamn raid boss.

    There is a recruit a friend thing going on atm and I could use some more people to play with.

    Link for more info

    For veterans:
    ONE LEVEL 10 RECRUIT:
    Recruit A Friend Portrait

    Log in, and receive Raynor plus a 5-day Stimpack to start strong.

    After playing for 9 days straight and getting lag in 98.9% of my games I had enough. The lag was especially bad since Monday so before playing any matches yesterday I went searching for a solution. The Blizzard hots tech threads were a no go but I read a reddit post how 1 person tried switching the sound quality from high to low quality fixed the lag.

    I launched the game up and closed everything else for good measure, I changed the sound quality to low and launched a quick match game. The game ran smoothly with no lag at all. I went into Hero League after the QM test and went 4-2 with no lag at all!!!!

    Greymane looks amazingly fun and hilariously dangerous to play as. I'm buying him when he drops to 10k.

    Back at rank 1 with the help of @Republic . Let's see if it sticks. Third time's the charm?

    Blizzard continues its trend of kicking me out of draft pick and then punishing me for it.

    Fucking A, Blizzard. Good game design, right there.

    So it turns out, once Blizzard stops kicking me out of draft pick and then punishing me with -500 points for it, Heroes is pretty fun.

    Just started to play it again. It's quick and enjoyable.

    What's the best way to get new heroes by the way?

    Get a stimpack, do all your quests and play at least ~4 games per day.

    Other than stimpack, just doing quests and grinding games again and again.

    If my experience is anything typical, you'll still drop a few times, Rep, but I told you that already. (I'm on attempt 6 or 7. I lost count. I think I have a buffer, tho.)

    Any guesses on the rather inevitable Rehgar and Li Ming changes? (General downtune and Ess of Johan changes respectively.) My money's on a week from Wednesday.

    So starting tomorrow, the Lost Vikings will be f2p for the week. This will be the first time since the game started. It's going to be a fun week.

    Is li Ming fun? I like range assassin and tanky support in HoTS. and Wizzard/Sorceress has always been my favorite class in diablo/2/3. So, I'm quite interested to know if shes any fun before I buy her.

    From what I've played with her (Aba cloning) she's fairly amusing. I'll be buying her once she drops to 10k in a week.

    For the first time in a few months, I've been in the mood to play this game.

    Only to discover that Jaina is fun to play! Kael does have living bomb, which gets really neat when you can chain it, but I'm really liking the blizzard + cone of cold combo.

    And now I want to try Li Ming.
