Is it too much to ask to not have 3 warrior teams in quick match? Just got that twice in a row and got shit stomped both times.

Seems like QM is completely borked again. Two games in a row I had odd team comps. Support/Support/Warrior/Warrior/Specialist and then Specialist/Specialist/Support/Support/Warrior. Opposing teams had fairly standard comps.
I think all QM really tries to do is make sure each team has a support and a warrior then it doesn't care a whole lot about the rest
I've had a few matches now where it seems to be counting abathur as a support. Is this supposed to happen? One team will have a standard support and the other will only have abathur. Seen that 2 or 3 times since I started playing again. I was surprised because I thought both teams needed to have a support character to get matched up vs each other.

Quite often it doesn't match up properly, I guess due to waiting too long to find a match and shit. It's pretty dumb. I've had a bunch of wins with no support though, as long as you have like 4assassins. The other day when I was doing my daily, 2 games in a row like this, won both by just ignoring a lategame push and going straight for the enemy core, with that many assassins it takes like 10secs to kill, other team can't even recall back in time for it.
I am aware of this, that's why it's strange. Both games where the enemy team had no support and mine did, they had abathur.

Just the opposite, not having a tank isn't always detrimental. Mostly because a team with 2-3 assassins and 1-2 specialists will likely have the stronger early game and can snowball from there. But a team with no support vs a team w/ support had the highest disparity in win rates.
Having 1 support vs 0 support was huge. Their big thing was showing that 2 support vs 1 support wasn't a big deal.

This is why Medivac is broken and already needs a nerf. : heroesofthestorm
I've been on teams that have easily anticipated and crushed these backdoor plays. I could see a MINOR increase to vac cd but that's it.

I wish they would do something with Arthas. The guy has pretty much gotten 0 changes of any kind since his epic nerf ages ago. One of my favorite tanks to play but he needs a little something.
This. Arthas is really strong at high levels right now, any changes to make him stronger would probably make him too powerful.

Medivac isn't really broken, those guys were just playing vs a bunch of idiots. Really terrible example of Medivac being OP when the enemy team doesn't even know that core is invincible unless you kill a keep first.
So I was starting to get really frustrated with HL, even duo queuing, when last week someone in the Reddit chat channel said they were looking for more for 5v5 scrims. Met a really great group of people that I'd been doing TL and scrims with and the game is so much better. I've been trying to invite all the people who I know are into HotS and already on my friends list to scrims whenever they happen, but if it sounds like something you'd be into add me.

On last week's Town Hall at the end the pros they had and the hosts had a pretty good discussion on why they think that currently HotS will never be bigger than it is and will never really attract as an esport. It was an interesting listen coming from their perspective.
