Eternal conflict announcement video

Butcher first - Melee Assassin

Leoric After - Warrior with a unique death trait; dies, becomes a wrath who can slow enemies, for all the damage he deals while dead it reduces his death timer instead of hurts enemies, and he respawns where his ghost is

Monk after that - Support, his level 1 ability changes his trait (probably the d3 mantras)

Likely Auriel shortly after that

Also for the event, theres gonna be treasure goblins that spawn before a game, and you can kill them for gold and portraits

Butcher is out today. Watched some twitch matches with him, if you pair him with like Uther, its crazy. He has a run in charge with a stun, and a huge auto attack damage. So you have uther follow up your stun with his stun, and its gg. Should also work with tyrande. But damn, watched him erase heroes. His whole shtick is putting a mark on somebody and then healing off your auto attacks on them, so you can sustain on your marked target. Combine that with farming "meat" from minions to get more powerful, and you have a pretty solid melee assassin. But if he gets focused, hes dead easy. Will consider buying him, not entirely sure yet.

Also some datamined references to the wizard hero from d3, which would be the last D3 class to get added

Okay, so they're doing a new promotion, where you try to recruit a friend. If you recruit 4 people, you get an in game mount. Recruits have to be less than level 5, and they get some free heroes; raynor at level 1, a free stimpack, and sylvanas at level 10.

So if you want Sylvanas and Raynor for free, and are less than level 5, follow my link, connect it to your profile, and earn me the mount!

https://battle.net/recruit/MM2DS2HXS9

Theres also 50% bonus XP, and 50% more with the stimpack, and more if you party wit ha friend, so if you want to do it, party with me and lets get you to level 10 quick

Whoa when did Tracer get announced? I guess Overwatch is virtual gold mine of potential heroes. They practically had their mechanics made for MOBA's anyways.

At Blizzcon. Yeah I expect a few of the overwatch heros to translate nicely, they all already have q w e and ultimates, along with a movement ability.

Reindheart will make an awesome tank, Zenyatta a cool support, Reaper a cool valla style assassin, and maybe Mei as a specialist

If anybody wants to play this week, I need to spread ChoGall to more people (2 more games) to complete the quest, so let me know if you're down to get him for free

Truth be told I havent had time for HotS lately

✰Alpha✰ · « **Reply #217 on:** May 18, 2016, 01:27:34 am »

lol, maybe if they gave her a skin that didn't look like an opera-singing midget.

Pimp Willy · « **Reply #218 on:** May 23, 2016, 05:13:02 pm »

I have a free Jaina code if anybody wants it

✰Alpha✰ · « **Reply #219 on:** May 23, 2016, 06:24:29 pm »

Well that's 2 codes for shitty Blizzard games I don't play. Got any Overwatch skin codes?

✰Alpha✰ · « **Reply #221 on:** May 23, 2016, 10:22:45 pm »

I'll give you a TF2 hat for it.

Pimp Willy · « **Reply #222 on:** April 20, 2017, 10:53:08 am »

Just as a heads up, they're completely revamping the out of game stuff in heroes of the storm, dubbing it heroes of the storm 2.0. Its less money based, and more F2p style... including chests that you can earn with rewards.

Before, each hero, once bought, could be leveled up to earn different skins, along with a master skin only available to buy once it was level 10. All other skins had to be bought with real money.

Now, each level you earn can get you a chest, and each chest can unlock any skins/colors, which you can equip. Along with taunts, voice packs, banners, mounts, etc. Its basically a way to reward you for keep playing and getting lots of cool new unlocks.

They're also launching with a new hero, Genji, and an Overwatch map (hanamura) which mimics payload matches.

Theres also 1 more hero coming (rumor is DVA) around launch.

One cool thing, and the reason I bring it up? During the 2.0 launch event, they're doing 4 mega bundles:

http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes20/megabundles/

Each bundle costs 100 gems (new currency), and comes with 20 heroes in them. You can only buy one of the 4 mega bundles. Also, logging in during the event gives you 100 gems for free! Meaning, they're gifting you 20 heroes just for checking it out during the launch.

Well worth checking it out during the launch event, especially with all the overwatch stuff coming that I know you guys are hyped on lol.

✰Alpha✰ · « **Reply #223 on:** April 20, 2017, 03:01:42 pm »

Guess I'll login, get whichever bundle has Brightwing, then not play again until the next free thing (or Overwatch event).

League has had Hextech chests for a while btw.

Pimp Willy · « **Reply #224 on:** April 21, 2017, 07:43:20 am »

Yeah, Hots is trying to play catch up as its progression system was not very friendly to new players. I think this is a step in the right direction.

Brightwing is in both the "Flex" and "Support and Specialist" bundles. Flex is the best all around bundle, because you get a handful of people for each role. Support and Specialist comes with a few tanks and mostly healers.

Missing Person · « **Reply #225 on:** April 21, 2017, 12:09:51 pm »

Fucking Blizzard™

I guess I need to log in. My girlfriend's best friend got us started playing a Mobile MOBA, and my girlfriend is hooked on it. Might get her started on HOTS as well and we can group up.

Just seeing if it'll run on a Surface 4, since that's what she has.

Pimp Willy · « **Reply #226 on:** April 21, 2017, 03:17:55 pm »

Should run fine, its a blizzard game

Second hero coming is DVA, nexus challenge 2.0 giving rewards in both overwatch and hots.

Gotta get that D.Va skin to go full Florida on Lucio's.

jk I'm the only Lucio player in the world.

Pimp Willy · « **Reply #232 on:** April 25, 2017, 04:23:50 pm »

They have a Brightwing announcer pack in heroes of the storm, so you can have her announce all your matches lol

✰Alpha✰ · « **Reply #233 on:** April 25, 2017, 07:12:54 pm »

Dota 2 still has the best announcer packs. Not enough to get me to play that fucking horror, but I wish all my games were narrated by Rucks from Bastion.
