I got invited with the last batch of invites a few weeks ago. Played a decent amount but my external WiFi adapter on my PC is falling apart. I've been getting pretty shoddy connections. Half of my games play perfectly, the other half are just blank screens of "connected! We are catching you up. This may take a few minutes"
In addition to Chen being added today there is a fairly large balance patch. Also a change to the daily quest system where you get longer quests with bigger payout so if you want you can complete the quest over a few days or power games can do a daily each day.
Brightwing probably hit the hardest by the nerf bat. Possibly Kerrigan.

I got invited a couple of months ago, played one game and promptly turned it off to never be played again. Suffice to say, clunky shitcontrols and a bad mobaclone makes for uninteresting gameplay. Guessing a lot of people who got invited aren't playing because of this

There's not much point to put in a lot of time, it's in alpha, everythings going to get wiped away. Everyone I know that's currently invited is waiting for the game to go no wipe. There isn't a whole lot to 'test' everything seems pretty good.
I still play maybe 10 games a week. Sadly my #1 and #2 heroes I play (Brightwing and Tychus) both got hit by the nerf bat. I didn't think the change to Tychus' grenade knockback would be a big deal but it turns out it is.
There was also a major cosmetic overhaul this patch to the UI. Things seem less clicky but now there is shit all over the screen. Overall I think an improvement.

I try to get in a few games a week as well. I wish they would invite more people. I have a load of bnet friends who would love to mess around and have opted in... no luck though.
Gazlowe is still awesome. Hope they don't nerf him. He's a farming machine and with the stun on e and the dmg on w he's great for team fights as well.

I don't know if this is "first time ever" or anything but LightOfHeaven is playing HOTS on stream. First time I've personally seen a big name DOTA pro playing the game. Shame he isn't speaking English, though.

Done with this game until they make it so that you can reliably leave a PUB game if you have a pants-on-head terrible team before the game starts.
30 Second window or whatever would be nice. There are some compositions for teams that just stand zero chance of winning a game.

Sometimes I think our comp is terrible but it ends up working out. You can generally outplay your opponents as well regardless of composition in a pub setting.
It's been awhile since I've played, but I thought the matchmaking isn't supposed to let comps like that happen (more than 2 supports). Sucks that that happened though, maybe there weren't enough players online?
I think this is more an issue of queue on hammer in general. If your team isn't willing or unable to support you the game will go sideways very quickly. Honestly that comp seems decent. Probably would be better to lose the Tyrande for a warrior but if everyone played protect the tank and refused to leave the deathball it would have outstanding pushing power with extreme difficulties of getting close between hammer range and owls. If Malf lands a root I don't see how that isn't just a free kill with the extreme burst of owl/snipe/pin/hammer aa. I could see it working. Not an optimal comp but not a losing one.
