Hero Discussion: Azmodan Posted: 26 Feb 2018 04:22 AM PST Welcome to Special Support Mondays, where we feature a hero discussion about popular Specialists or Supports every Monday. Azmodan Lord of Sin HoTS Birthday & Cost: October 7, 2014 & 300 Gems / 2000 Gold HotS Wikia Link Hero Spotlight Balance History Recent HL Gameplay w/Grubby Azmodan is currently among the Specialists with the highest win percentage on Heroes.report and HotsLogs at around 52%. On Friday, Feb 23, Season 13 of Diablo 3 Began. This hero is classified as Medium difficulty to play, do you agree? When do you prioritizing drafting this hero and on what maps? Are they any particular hero synergies to compliment an Azmodan pick? Is there a particular build you would recommend to someone wanting to learn the basics of this hero? Is there a high skill cap build you favor to optimize this hero's performance and create flashy plays? Do you have any tips/tricks or uncommon knowledge to share? What heroes do you draft to counter an Azmodan pick? Do you think this hero needs a rework, if so what talents would you change?

Heroes of the Storm PTR Patch Notes – Feb 26, 2018 Posted: 26 Feb 2018 10:13 AM PST submitted by /u/Gnueless [link] [comments]

New Enforcer Skins and More! Posted: 26 Feb 2018 10:03 AM PST submitted by /u/Utigarde [link] [comments]

[Datamined] Next Hero is D3 hero confirmed? Posted: 26 Feb 2018 11:17 AM PST https://imgur.com/a/RSVXn I found image of Tristram Cathedral in the PTR data!!! This is probably background image of next hero, and next hero will be Diablo 3 universe. It is likely to be 'Deckard Cain' or 'Leah', seeing it as Tristram Cathedral.

The many shades of Gillyweed: from weighing trucks during harvest to casting esports around the world. Posted: 26 Feb 2018 06:35 PM PST submitted by /u/trizzo0309 [link] [comments]

Mewnbam was the best community event to date Posted: 26 Feb 2018 08:58 AM PST The games were close. The memes were on point. There were many times where I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. Bam and mewn are probably the best individual personalities on the scene. I was skeptical when you put two big personalities together like that sometimes it falls flat but them together just multiplied the entertainment value. submitted by /u/jshaw86 [link] [comments]

Massive bug or undocumented nerf in the Sonya changes Posted: 26 Feb 2018 01:15 PM PST Sonya is no longer generating Fury from taking damage. The tooltip was not changed to reflect this so I assume it is a bug, but it makes a huge difference to her in terms of match ups, play style, etc. submitted by /u/CavalierGuest [link] [comments]

This new morales tint is way too good. Posted: 26 Feb 2018 12:15 PM PST Just look at that. It's damn incredible, props to the art team. submitted by /u/The_0ne_Who [link] [comments]

[QoL] Blaze's Bunker needs another button to leave the bunker Posted: 26 Feb 2018 10:23 AM PST So as a tank player i want to get in and out of the bunker quickly. To begin with this made me accidently use my ult by spamming the button too much, but eventually i learned to spam it less, so thats okay i guess. Now i ran into another problem though, that if i miss my rightclick on the bunker, i end up instantly using my ult. submitted by /u/FreakzWasTaken [link] [comments]

Changes to Townhall Heroes - From tonight's show Posted: 26 Feb 2018 04:57 PM PST From the podcast this evening: Show moving to a "When there is news" format meaning no more weekly shows. Shows will be on when there is content, likely still on a specific day of the week. Ties in with changes in the Heroes release schedule, and changes in the schedules of the hosts. "Less anime filler episodes" - Dunktrain 2k18 Arcane8 on the backburner, effectively benched until further notice. THH will still be on this Twitch channel tho. SolidJake applying for jobs in the esports space again, wants to get back to content creation as opposed to running a business. Mentioned WC3. Twitch Channel - https://www.twitch.tv/arcane8 Youtube for Vods - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRTPg-1dihuRXx_RoI7g1WA/videos (Vod probably up tomorrow) RIP THH submitted by /u/MrDDom23 [link] [comments]

Valeera was finally picked in HGC !! Posted: 26 Feb 2018 09:15 AM PST This puts an end to my weekly reminder that Valeera had not been picked in pro play after the stealth rework. https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/7vbrks/im_starting_a_weekly_reminder_that_every/ She was played by Team Ace in HGC Korea this weekend. Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/232917783 Valeera viable confirmed! I, for one, welcome our new rogue overlords. submitted by /u/BlazeBrok [link] [comments]

Storm Strider Mount Is based on Ghost In The Shell's Tachikomas!! They did it!? Posted: 26 Feb 2018 11:01 AM PST This mount is based on the Tachikoma's most prominent in the 'GITS - stand alone complex series'. For Comparison: Tachikoma and StormStrider 10/10 will buy, somebody deserves a damn raise IMO! Edit For the skeptical here is the latest Tachikoma design from 'GITS- Arise' submitted by /u/DankWewes [link] [comments]

Just heard a guy receive oral sex from his wife thanks to voice chat. Posted: 26 Feb 2018 05:28 PM PST We endured about 10 minutes of, "Uhhh don't stop..."(from him). I thought he was joking about how good we were doing, but it eventually sounded too real. After some time passed, we heard a woman ask in the background how many times he died (after she...and he were presumably done). When I said, "I think Chromie has a weird philia" in chat, he responded: "Oh, you heard that?" Yes. We heard that. Please, for the love of God, turn push to talk back on...It's the default FFS! submitted by /u/MyVoiceIsNotSexy [link] [comments]

Psionic Storm - update patch 30.4 PTR Posted: 26 Feb 2018 02:47 PM PST All changes now available on https://psionic-storm.com/en/ Rework Sonya - https://psionic-storm.com/en/calculateur-de-talents/sonya/?region=ptr Rework Medivh - https://psionic-storm.com/en/calculateur-de-talents/medivh/?region=ptr New Ana - https://psionic-storm.com/en/calculateur-de-talents/ana/?region=ptr Units - https://psionic-storm.com/en/units Select PTR region and change level to see the effect of Medivh's new scaling from 4% up to 4.5%. Note i also detected some minor undocumented changes but you have to double check as it can come from simple label fix (and not actual values) or bugs in my engine: Lt.Morales: EMP grenade (level 13) - damage from 40 to 80 Tracer: Bullet Spray (level 13) - increased radius from 30% to 40% Enjoy!

Home Screen for Hero Updates. Yessss Posted: 26 Feb 2018 02:35 PM PST The (PTR) home screen shows Medivh and Sonya, mentions they have been updated, and has a "learn more" button. Basically, they are getting the new hero treatment. I think showing this on the home screen is so important for casual players who may not be on reddit or reading the patch notes. In the past, they may not realize until they are mid-game that their favorite hero has been majorly reworked. submitted by /u/JunkerGone0 [link] [comments]
