    Hell, just had one right now. My teammates didn't heal before the mines opened, so we went there with 3 people at half health and no mana. Stitches went AFK. Then when they got a golem they died to the golem's area of effect spells, with no enemy hero in sight.

    Gazlowe is the black cat of this game, I swear.
    Makes me sad
    When I want to screw around I play Gazlowe and it actually turns out pretty effective. Wombo combos with aoe turrets do a lot of damage. :P On the other side of the coin, it makes me sad when the team doesn't back up the black hole. Lol.

    valla on my team has 17 deaths, 15mins in.

    all he is doing is reviving, and running to the enemy base to die to feed them.

    - - - Updated - - -

    it ended 4 kills to 40!

    valla had 19 deaths in 20mins game. why do people like this join just to ruin games :|

    We lose a late-game teamfight over a tribute but the rest of their team is very low. Our Raynor missed the fight after being waylaid stopping an Azmo push top, which is unfortunate as he would have turned the tide. We get cursed and Raynor hits botlane to defend against the push.

    But he doesn't defend gate. He runs right to the lane singing "Makin mah way downtown" over Skype. Valla appears in the fog of war - Raynor blasts her in the face with Q, instantly killing her. And what's this? There was a Zeratul right behind her who got caught by the Q. Raynor potshots him with an auto - two dead. Oh hey there's a Tychus - he gets a Q as well, three dead. Diablo has run in to save his team and gets Banshees to the face - five seconds later he's the fourth casualty.


    Our Raynor is still singing over Skype while we hose ourselves laughing XD

    One of our team is a hugely successful Gazlowe who loves bot lane. Doesn't matter who he's against, he takes bot and he OWNS it. Turret placement is so on point for a mix of both offence and self-defence (and he is inhuman at blocking Snipe/Hook etc with snap turrets) that he just murders the whole lane.

    After 10 when we're grouped his ult+E+turrets are invaluable to shredding their whole team at once.

    Could be crap-tier in the wrong hands. When my mate is playing him though he's a god damn VIP.

    Just hada hilariously dumb game finish on anub'arak. It was pretty late-game, around lvl 18-19 or so, and I got caught trying to sneak an enemy merc camp like the idiot that I am (I'm anub and they're mercs; it's like I'm like a moth to the flame here man), leaving my team 1 man down. So, with my retrospect goggles on, I admonish them to play carefully while I'm not there to be the tank/initiator/aoe damage. Well, I guess they didn't have much of a choice, since it was dragon shire and the enemy team got dragon, then they pushed our base, and while defending our entire team got killed without killing a single one of them, though they did stop the dragon and get them all low.

    Anyway, I respawn, see that I'm the only one alive, see that our base is safe, and... again... see a merc camp uncaptured at the bottom of the map. I was pretty sure it was safe to take it, I mean what could go wrong? So I buzz down there, start killing the bruisers, and a wild valla appears. I guess she went back to base then had the same idea I had, because she was at full health/mana, but still - a valla's no match for anub.

    As I pop locust swarm, (a wounded, oom) muradin comes around the corner to help her, along with two other (wounded) members of their team. ALL of them die to the locust swarm and general aoe damage that anub can dish out, AND I kill the mercs while doing it, though I barely survive at something like 1% HP.

    Still, very satisfied with myself, I walk up to the merc capture point and start typing something in chat about how ridiculous that was, having forgotten that the enemy team's 5th member was a tyrande... I'm sure everyobdy can infer what happened next, the best part being that it happened just as I pressed enter on my rant about how amazing I was. That's the difference between a decent player and a GOOD player, I guess. I didn't have the presence of mind to watch out for that shit.

    Though we did win the game, since my team ressed just as I died and took dragon to smash their base to pieces before I even came back.

    Obviously, the victory was thanks to me. It was a long-con all along! I planned everything out perfectly.

    why do 5 man premades get matched with solo players? Seriously, if you're in a 5 man team you can sit for half an hour in queue for all I care. Goddamnit Blizzard.

    Had some excellent luck last night running as a 4-man group - US servers everywhere! Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR in a row.

    Four Aussies matched with three Americans and one Canadian over four games back to back. How does this shit even happen during Australian prime time?

    Funnily enough though we actually WON one of those games, even with the 400ms ping =p

    Lately I've been having the opposite problem - terrible win rates when I'm in a team or partial team, but pretty good rates solo.

    Ahahaha another night of non-Oceanic servers

    Fuck this let's ignore mines and bumrush their botlane

    We ignored mines and rushed bot. They went mines then waited for their 100skull to push top.

    We won the race XD

    Had this awesome Sonya who kept flaming everyone on our team the whole match for "sucking". She was the last on xp contribution, had the most deaths, and overall didn't do much during the whole game.

    Ended up winning because we had Zagara (me) and Azmodan, and they couldn't handle the constant splitpush, and the pressure i managed to do with midas network.

    Just saw an interesting strat on Sky Temple. 5-man sneaky zerg our mid fountain right at the start.

    Was ballsy. They ended up giving us five kills to take it, giving us a full level advantage as well them losing a full wave of minion xp on all three lanes, and ended with us steamrolling them, but A for effort.

    had a match jsut now as malfurion where people wouldnt group together or at the right places and would constantly communicate strategies way too late. There were atleast two LoL players here in my group. They ignored the objectives. Even in the mines they kept going for the heroes and getting baited instead of focusing on skulls.

    We were 2 levels ahead and had more of their base destroyed. we were easily triple their kill rate and we lost because we couldnt rally over objectives.

    As a healing focused malfurion i had the top amount of kills, the other one being a tychus....jeez

    Wow, that was a really good game.

    I might just be on a amateur team for hots to do some amateur tournaments. We will see how it goes.

    How do you guys Hero Leauge? I've only done 20 or so games in but every time my team is first pick...lili. First pick...Gazlowe. First pick...Jaina. First pick...Nova. Then after a first pick Nova the next two pick Chen and Arthas. This is just my normal games, what am I supposed to do? Pick murky and ride the crazy train hoping for a silly win? Cause I can tell you picking something like Hammer/Illidan/Nazeebo/Tyrande/Uther/Reghar isn't enough to stop them from feeding. I'll come out of games with 250k siege and 150k hero damage on my hammer then look over my team, added together having 100k hero damage.

    I don't understand why I can't play a game without a Lili, Nova, Jaina or Gazlowe on my team while their team laughs and picks hammer/illidan/reghar/tyrande/etc : (

    I had a game against a friend of mine, we both solo queued Quick Matches, I was finishing my Zeratul levelling off, and he was doing a Specialist Q as Murky.

    The first kill wwas me killig him, at which point I received a essage from the friend saying "Oi, i'll get you for that"

    After that we had a laugh playing the game, where I hunted down his egg at every opportunity, and he tried to get his Zeratul to hunt me down. it was the most fun game I've had in a while.
