Champion Update: Nunu & Willump, the Boy and his Yeti Looks like the W buff is part of his passive now too. Kit seems decent, bloated abilities as we've discussed. Still has poke and a lot of utility with all the slows/knockups. I'll try him.

I didn't have a problem with lane swaps necessarily... I did have a problem with turret trading, which was a result of lane swaps. Was just cheesy. Only took place in competitive so the turret changes aren't really bothersome to me. I just read a Riot post, maybe on a Nunu rework thread...

Nothing was more satisfying than full AP Nunu chunking an enemy for 90% health with an ice ball. Abilities have become bloated, I agree. We can look back 10 yrs and see how this has happened pretty easily I think. Primary reason I see is because they've been enforcing a Meta: They've pushed...

They stated he's keeping Chomp and Ult, so that leave 2 other abilities, we see the snowball which seems to be another AoE thing, and looks like he cast a buff on allies still like his current W... so my question is, how does he poke now? Without ice blast he becomes a bruiser ? No more poke for...

Yes I imagine these problems are prevalent in most games, especially card games that have inherent RNG. Which is why I keep saying it can be fixed with different modes. Once you can ban out decks the game actually becomes strategic. Same could be said by including a sideboard. When I was doing...

Not much different than the Pirate meta in the past. Again, the game has rarely changed. It's always had the same bs. Quest Rogue completions by Turn 3 was another one that lasted forever. Core problem is ranked ladder.. and even Arena. More modes: tournament ladder, sealed deck, etc... is...

OTK is fun for a day, and if it was 1 class the nerfs would be easier to pull off. But literally every single hero has an OTK option, mostly because of Mecha'Thun, but also Malygos, and Mage has it's own conditions. OTK turns the game into solitaire. You just draw as fast as possible and put...

I'm pretty confident the OTK meta will be the final nail in the coffin for this game. They really fucked up this expansion and only way to fix it will be nerfing like 10cards.

To be fair, I've only been playing about 1 or 2 matches a day lol... I mean, I'm a Legend player that's decayed to rank 10 ... hit 9 after my 1 game I played yesterday. It's mostly just luck that I hit less OTKs. They are everywhere... I also have a built in OTK myself, but it's super slow...

Mech warrior brings back memories of old Control Warrior. At least the deck I'm playing. It does well in the current Aggro meta.. Obviously it'll lose hard to OTK decks, but I've yet to face a Priest... I did face a Rogue that pulled out 4x malygos, but now I've tech'd in Harrison for that...

Dr Boom was my freebie Got Mecha'Thun from the 20 packs I opened. These were the only 2 Legendaries I wanted to play with Day 1. I crafted Boomship to complete a mech warrior deck. Played 3 matches, went 2-1 Decided that was enough and logged off.

Yea I like most of the reworks tbh, though I've yet to experience aatrox and Akali. I've been playing some league again and keep saying I'm going to play akali... and then she's banned so I go Diana as usual. Playing in gold again is so funny compared to what I remember. The players are so...

But this isn't necessarily true... High usage could also mean that most heroes all perform similar functions, and can be plugged into similar strategies... I gotta believe DoTA is still centered around group compositions and not all 112 champions have an individual strategy... typically you...

Oh jesus... Getting into the Strategy of the game is a massive can of worms. So many variables. I don't know how DoTA works in this regard, but in League you can normally slot in a couple champions that can all perform a similar strategy. Does this mean there are less strategies compared to...

Yea League requires a jungler and their champion usage rates depend heavily on the most recent patch. For example, Aatrox was shit-tier for years, they put through 1 big patch that changes the entire meta, and he becomes god-tier... then they reworked him (The rework was already in process prior...

This makes no sense... there are plenty of times in League where you are dead if you clump too close.. i just can't even........ Annie+Flash+Ult Brand Ult Morgana Ult Nunu in bush Ult I can't even name every champion with some insane AoE instant Damage bullshit. The variety of LoL champions...

A skill shot in LoL terms is simply an ability that must be "aimed". There are "instant" skill shots in League too, even though they have an animation, you'll never escape them without prediction. For example, Akali's rework made her Dash a skillshot (previously it was a point & click). There...

Why shouldn't they be defended? It's a good game, they've pioneered esports in NA. They make good products... so far. Only 1 game, would love to see more. There are certainly worse gaming companies. Personally I like Valve, Epic and Riot equally. We can do with less EA / Daybreak /etc

Warrior playing a Dr Boom deck, has 60 health, Dog spawns 3x 96/1 boars, ez 300 damage He's lost a decent chunk too but mainly misplays and some bad draws. With refinements this deck is going to be such cancer.

Wow this is just patently false. Riot has been Un-Dumbing every champion. No more point & click... everything is skill-shots & twitch movement. Their philosophy has been to make things MORE complex, from Champions to the map. They change the jungle every season. They adjust Dragon/Baron every...

Only aggro decks that win by turn 5 will be good as long as this Topsy Priest deck exists. No control deck can withstand 200+ damage by turn 8

I think the statement means it's not anyone's first "game"... not "moba"... like young kids aren't going to dive into LoL ever, we all had gaming backgrounds with other RTS/FPS/MMOs... but a "first game" would be stuff like WoW, FN, Minecraft, etc... dumbed down enough for even the youngest kids...

For posterity.

Watching Dog play the OTK priest deck .. only downside is I won't be able to do it on a tablet lol... He made 2x 96/1 boars pretty easy just now... makes 2-3 boars consistently, can get through a couple taunts if needed even without silence

Riot has fuckups like any other company, but to call the entire thing trash is reaching. The game is extremely successful and has a proven formula. It's really NOT dumbed down, but DoTA fanboys want to disparage it as much as possible simply because .... why??? If you watched Marc Merrill's...

He sounds like a pissed off dota fanboy just cause league has been #1 for like 10yrs.

I'm either going to just do some Arena or play whatever OTK deck seems to be strongest. I haven't saved enough to buy as many packs and don't want to spend anymore cash, so there's a good chance I wont open any decent Legendaries. I basically got all my missing Witchwood legendaries from...

This thread is nearly off the 1st page and expansion is tomorrow. This is the least excited I've been for a HS expansion ever lol.

I want to believe Pantheon could be good, but damn, just watched some of the video from the stream and it's so painful. Combat is slow, movement is slow, graphics are NOT pleasing to the eye. ugggggggggggggh. In today's environment, I just don't understand why it looks so bad. Maybe it's the...

K bud. 1.) Velen OTK was decent, some players getting top 50 with it. Its not good NOW but it was good for a brief moment. 2.) This combo is a lot different, and easier/better to pull off than Velen OTK 3.) Trump didnt build this.

nice. Need some 0 mana silences, unfortunately can't squeeze in mass dispel... just add leeroy to above combo for 2x OTKs in 1 deck

Are you trying to troll? I can't tell if you're saying the Velen OTK was never good, this OTK isn't good, both, or ??

Last remarks: Comparing this to the other OTK Priest deck with Velen and Spellstone. On paper this one looks superior because: - It doesn't force you to avoid minions in deck - No setup required, other than tons of draw and staying alive (other OTK requires getting your minions kill so they...

? What's this mean

I just did some analysis of this combo and unless I calculated something wrong then here are my findings: Looks like a 9 mana combo minimum since you need to spend 1 mana to Vivid a 3rd Radiant. I can't see how it would be 8 mana (the reddit thread had people claiming it was 8mana). There is...

Oh lovely, an OTK has been discovered that only requires 8 mana and 7 cards. Sounds like a lot, but an OTK is an OTK and the fact it's before 10 mana and needs 0 setup (other than tons of draw) is a big deal. r/hearthstone - Explanation of Trump's Test Subject OTK (more or less the gist of it)...

Because to play HS you don't need to purchase anything... I'm not seeing that here. At least let me try the game first, if its good enough then sure, I'll dump money into some cards. I also don't see anything about crafting cards, I only get the impression you'll need to purchase them. Of course...

Funny thing about OW is that I NEVER watched streams because watching fast-paced FPS games is usually terrible (PUBG/FN are easier due to pacing). At least OWL has commentary and overlays, so I actually tuned in a little bit.. not much... but OWL definitely was the only reason I ever watched an...

Man... as a consistent Hearthstone player I wouldn't mind some legit competition but holy shit is this pricing model bullshit. For a digital card game, having a marketplace just seems like a terrible idea. It means constructing decks will likely cost a LOT. Making accessibility lower and deck...
