I just ask myself if I feel like I'm getting my money's worth. If I play the game for an hour or so on a daily basis that is worth about $20/mo to me. If I play it for more than an hour that just goes up. When I don't have a game I'm currently crushing on I start buying random shit off steam that that generally costs me more than throwing money into a different game.

Personally I really like the new model of paying for video games since it gives incentive for developers to keep games I enjoy fresh and if I don't enjoy the game it didn't cost me anything to figure that out

Wait, did they give us the ability to reroll dailies now? I could swear that they would just sit in your log forever until you did them.

Re: regar, bloodlust can be awesome, but the attack speed bonus can be kind of worthless to a lot of heroes. I almost always take healing these days because the upgraded version is amazing and swings more teamfights than bloodlust imo. Bloodlust pretty much requires you have a ton of auto-attack based assassins to get most of its use in.

No. It's on the to-do list. I was just saying if you stash low reward dailies you can't get them a second time. So you complete high value dailies and let low value ones sit so you have a greater chance of getting "Play 8 games" or "Win 3 games" which are worth more.

If you're in a good coordinated team that will be close to Rehgar when he uses Bloodlust, it can be good.. but that usually doesn't happen. Ancestral Healing will always help, no matter what the other people are doing and it's cool down is half as long as Bloodlust. Personally, I think Ancestral Healing is a lot better. Rehgar is pretty solid though and I see him played a lot.

I've seen more face palm lineups in hero league in the past couple days than I've ever seen in quick matches over the last 2 months. Gazlowe, Murky, 2 support, and Jaina. K?

Not that I mind easy wins.

If you really, really are into min/max your gold gains it is smart to not complete the "Play 2 games as a Series hero" since they are worth so little gold compared to "Play 8 games." So if you stash those quests it increases your odds of getting more valuable daily quests. Personally I don't do it but I'm also not very adverse to paying real money in these games.

it just sucks because im forced to buy more or less shitty heroes (the cheaper ones) so that I can afford 6 more by 30, tich is probably the best buy at 4k, but everyone else I have really no interest thrall just looks amazing, haven't seen him struggle yet.

I bought the starter pack and a 30day stim, I don't wanna drop 10$ on a single hero really but I may be forced into buying the thrall bundle, arthas looks good and hes on sale for 4.25 or something.

Arthas and Stitches are both good but fill slightly different roles. Stitches is more naturally tanky and can survive burst better but Arthas has much, much better self sustain and can sometimes just never die. Stitches also has fantastic initiate with hook then "keep them there" with Tenderizer and body block. Arthas is similar with his E in the fact that people can't escape you but has no real good way of initiating a fight. If the other team doesn't want to fight they just walk away. Arthas is a good ganker too if you land your root and take Envenom at 4. Overall I consider Arthas more a brawler like Tyreal than a true tank like Stitches and Chen. You can also spec Frostmourne on Arthas and do absolutely fucking nuts burst damage. I've never run the build personally but it looks like at on of fun.

Overall the resurgence removal hit Arthas harder than Stitches. Arthas doesn't really have a *great* level 20 talent now. 9/10 you take Ghouls at 10 and the 20 upgrade for that is pretty much useless. So you take fury of the storm which is OK but nothing fantastic.

Yea definitely more of a brawler. Sure, great self healing and sustain but can't take burst like Stitches. Stitches has a lot of versatility too. Being able to adapt to the disengage and hook+gorge playstyle and also being in the middle of a team fight laying down bile and body blocking. There's a misconception sometimes that all warriors fill the same role.

Truth, but out of the tanks/warriors they are the best. Chen, Diablo, ETC, and Muradin not far behind. I'd say the Chen nerf won't really matter in pub play as much, maybe a bit. ETC/Diablo are still just okay, the removal of resurgence is a buff to Diablo but his kit is not as good as Arthas or Stitches. Muradin's leap is better but now that fixed the regen bug, at least he can initiate easier now.

Though I still love playing ETC. Favorite tank.

I just bought him so I could qualify for ranked, but have yet to play him. Should probably do some quick matches and learn him.

Muradin is in like 100% of my ranked matches. Probably because he's decent and super cheap. But I personally think he kind of sucks.

A lot of the "Pro" teams consider Muradin a top 2 pick next to Stitches for the tank(warrior) role. This probably doesn't translate to pub games though.

Muradin just feels weak as shit, doesn't do near enough damage for a dual wielding ball of pain.

Right now all the "Tank but not much else" heroes are in a fairly bad spot at least competitively. You never see Diablo or ETC picked in high level matches either. It seems like, at least in the current meta, brawler warrior types are more preferred.
