Hero game mode is a lot better. Teams are balanced and people generally seem to know what they are doing. 3-1 so far!

Which specialists, if any, are bad for newbies? I need to buy someone this weekend for daily quest.
Witchdoctor, Azmodon, and Gazloe look interesting. Are Bribe and Mercenary Lord necessities?

Nazeebo (WD) and Azmodan are good. Gazlowe is bad for nearly everyone unless you got the team and map that supports it.
Bribe is okay sometimes but usually there are better talents. Same thing with mercenary lord, but they just changed it so it may be a little better now. These talents are probably better in specific push lineups.

Mercenary lord change was a straight up nerf wasn't it? They only get the bonus when the hero w/ merc lord is nearby?, I doubt anyone will take it now since camps are usually advantageous when you push another lane while mercs push a lane. Most heroes have a better talent to take then bribe, only a couple of supports I think didn't have much better to take, all the specialists have something better.
I like all 3 of those specialists, nazeebo is definitely the best of the 3 in teamfights and gazlowe the least useful, but gazlowe is probably the best pve of the 3 w/ his turrets and you can also use his turrets to zone ppl out of objectives.
Also, abathur seems really strong now, even his early game seems rediculous. Played a game last night and early game was me on uther and a thrall against thrall/aba and their thrall was able to push to our towers while we focused just him and his health barely moved and never went below 80%. That might also have something to do with thrall's passive being op.

I bought that bundle over Christmas, seemed like a good deal to me. Nexus bundle is basically their box price option I'm guessing? $40 or so for 8 heroes a mount and some skins seems pretty solid even if most of the heroes are the older/less exciting ones. I have 6 now since I broke down and bought Thrall (dat Hellhammer skin) should be more than fine by the time I hit 30.

They usually give it a day or two to make sure everything is operating normally before sending out a big wave of invites.

The only reason I could ever see another wipe is if there is some bug that gets abused and a lot of people take advantage of it. Grinding to 40 again would be pretty lame. They'd also have to refund all the stimpacks people bought for the XP I would think.. which means they would get extra gold. Sounds like a big hassle that they shouldn't even bother with anymore.
Merc Lord changes are good and bad. Often times your teammates would take camps and the mercs wouldn't get the buffs, now they can. On the other hand, you can't take multiple camps and give them all buffs anymore. I think overall it is weaker, but the skill wasn't that amazing to begin with.

The merc lord change is a buff IMO. Previously merc lord was never taken in any serious environment. You never have time to just go from merc camp A to merc camp B to merc camp C like most of the PUG Gazlow I see take the talent. Now it allows you to get more passive push by simply having the talent surrounding the mercs.
Also I guess I was mistaken on Stimpacks. I assumed if I earned 10 gold the Stimpack would make me earn 15 good. Not the case. I earn 10 gold + 15 gold. Makes it a very worthwhile investment.

How often do you push with mercs really? Sometimes you'll defend some ogres, but that is usually about it.
I was wondering about that, good to know.
