You know what grinds my gears? People who use multiple battle.net accounts and just allow all them to get alpha codes or the people who sign up and don't even play. Cool guys these ones.

And of course there is gonna be FotM classes. I think they should have went with free heroes and then sell skins, UIs, mounts, etc similar to Dota 2. Unfortunately, they went the price gouging route.
I'd be fine with pay-for-heroes if gold gain was increased and you were sitting on a pile of it basically just waiting for the next pig mount or hero to be released. Make them free in the sense where Blizzard expects most heroes to be purchased with gold but still make ti so people who have played a while have something to show for it and give new players something to unlock. I get that. But at the moment trying to get 10k gold for a hero takes for fucking ever.

I'm sure most people are saving 10k for a master skin anyway. Barely into 8 and I need 2.6M xp to hit 9.

Good christ why did I not play Valla sooner. I assumed she'd be lame because demon hunters were lame, but man does she melt faces. Hero of the storm every damn game.

She's an A class hero. She has dropped off a bit recently since other assassins have gotten some buffs and she received a few Strafe nerfs. Personally I find Tychus the better assassin.

They just added this randomly to my BNet accounts since this went into Alpha a long time ago. If they would have given me codes I would have handed them out by now as I'm not really into these types of games.

Im sure Im not alone either, I think it was just a choice by Blizzard to keep them from being traded.

They did it to try and avoid ebay selling of keys but they dun fucked up because now people just create a ton of accounts and sign up for beta access then sell the account. They really should make it so you need to have a purchased game or something tied to the account to gain access.

Same, really don't like Valla for some reason. Much rather roll with Tych or Nova.

Well Nova falls into a completely different category of assassin. I was thinking more in lines of the sustained damage class. What is good about Tychus compared to Valla is if you get dived on in a team fight you just pop Odin to not die. He also has a very reliable displacement to stop channeling spells like WD ultimate, Nova 3tap, Valla's strafe or anything that gets cancelled via displacement. Then not to mention he has a dash for escape and can get great sustain via life leech at 4 and searing attacks at 7. Oh yeah and possibly the best slow in the game when you get it at 13 on Overkill.

Need someone on my friends list to hop on tonight so I can get bonus XP to un-gate my newly purchased Abathur. I don't want to boat anchor with a gated abathur in solo Q

Tychus' grenade can be blocked though right? For example stiches body blocking for malfurion or valla. So you still need a clear shot. I haven't actually played Tych but he does look awesome. I always try to get a stun on him before he can Odin in group fights. It always sucks when a group focuses him and he Odins right before death. Definitely counters a dive sometimes.

No the grenade isn't a projectile or anything it is thrown to the destination
