    Pretty much every game has been like that for me for the past few days. The best one was me playing with 2 of my friends. We are all level 40, but haven't played HL that much. The enemy team was all rank 5-10, and we got a rank 20 and a level 7 (not rank, player level) Raynor matched with us.

    Had a match yesterday as ETC in Garden of Terror where I was messing around with the mini map (can't remember if it was from hearthing to base or respawning) and I saw there was an enemy Abathur who was hidden in a bush slapping away at a wave of minions. He was also near death. Cue the Stage Dive.

    Also had a match today as Anub'arak (who I was leveling to 8) in Infernal Shrines where the enemy Abathur was...I don't know what he was doing, but it wasn't baiting, even though in the early game he was building into mines. He kept popping out of the mid lane gate toward the contested shrine, so I chased him back to where he would find safety. He had died two times before that, on the account of our Nova hunting him.

    Got put as Sylvanas as auto-queue, onto Sky Temple. Decided to go a full push build because I'm not fantastic at Sylvanas anyway.

    So I go bot lane and... there's no-one here. All five of the other team are up fighting as hard as they can to keep the watchtower. My team is just poking and staying safe but almost all of theirs is staying to try and pick a fight.

    Uhhh, okay. I'll just casually take this tower real quick then shall I? Good-o.

    All five of them stay in top and mid. They're shoving lanes but some of our towers and gates are holding and I am not caring because I'm plugging away at bot fort. Temples come up, I'm still unmolested. My team decides to do the smart thing and 4-cap mid while I carry on my rampage at bot.

    Temples end and I am at their inner towers. I take the towers and gate then back off, just as ALL FIVE of them turn up to push me back. By this time our exp lead has extended to four levels. I wheel to mid to finish off that fort, then top to push the towers. Bot shrine comes up.

    And again... i am left alone. I happily push that shit all the way to keep before getting ganked by all five.

    By this time we have lost top fort, and bottom towers. Mid is mostly intact. We're still three levels up. And they have all their outer buildings down, and towers down at both top and bot. My team wins a 4v5 while I am dead very, very easily due to the enormous level advantage, and at that point the other team AFKd in base while we pushed to win.

    My hero damage for this game was ZERO.

    Was hilarious.

    Its been some specialist bliss week or something because towers are going down very fast after the patch, gazlowe, sylvanas, et al, havng a field day. Ive seen Gazlowes pull of 220K siege damage - the type you normally see from abathur.

    Scaling changes. Everyone is doing more damage from lvl 1, tower/minion health hasn't changed

    A decent Cho'gall can chunk half a tower's HP from safety before minions spawn atm.

    Butcher free players, downright terrible.
    The amount of Nest build abathurs i see that don't know how to play it equally terrible. Let's go for a nest build and never place a nest out of lane, let's ignore events and use nests to push.

    The balance is seriously screwed also with the specialists, these changes really didn't get any testing. At least early game felt a lot more balanced before. Who taught it was smart to give specialist that are already strong with their abilities at the start an even greater one.

    Ended a 9 match losing streak in QM while duo queueing with some Li Li games. I love that water dragon ulti . Last game I had 12 assists (highest shared with another team mate) and 6 kills lol.

    Yeah, seems like LoL players are coming in by the day. The good atmosphere of hots is fading if it hasn't been already destroyed.

    I hope I can somehow grab the replay and work something with it later, but I think so far the coolest thing I've done lately is get first blood as Gall with the bouncing orb when I couldn't even see them. I was just like "Oh man, I hope this works" and boom, they died.

    I hate when useless wastes of space litter games. Did a vs. AI game with a cho'gall player. Rank 18 playing gall. level 1 account playing cho. Had a bad feeling about that. Losing top, Kael'thas doesn't really help, don't get any assistance from abathur. Cho'gall push bot while immortals are up. Then they say they don't care and basically want to throw a game against AI. So I reported them and alt+f4'd. Why do people have to be toxic asshats?

    Man, I just hate cho'gall games in vs AI. They are the derpiest, most selfish players I have ever seen. Raven map. not once did anyone but our Johanna go for tributes. I was sgt. hammer in bot lane and the first two spawned in the top half of the map. I thought that cho'gall and malf would help Johanna get tributes while I pushed. Nope. So I ended up just ignoring everyone, pushing bot to core and getting mercs. And the gall of our Gall player to say ggwp at the end made me laugh out loud. They played horribly and selfishly and ggwp? Fuck cho'gall.

    Played Johanna for the first time in 3 months. God damn, I've missed playing this fine gal. I can just plow into enemies while my team wrecks everything.

    It's funny watching some people rage about AI games, when it's a valid or even superior strategy to push one single lane from start to end.

    Maybe it's their overinflated egos compelling them to try and dictate the actions of other people in game with their own myopic worldview?

    P.S. It's so easy to solo carry AI games, so when people complain about "poor performance" in the game mode, they fail to realize they are ones who are causing the issues with their own lack of skill.

    "Don't blame me, I'm getting no support from the team" says our Illidan, as he Hunts into a Jaina backed up by ETC, Lili, Abathur and Hammer on his own to rack up his 14th death.

    Sigh.

    Hero League. We did tell him Zera would be a better pick.

    -------

    Even better - on Dragon Shire, first two DKs we lose and while they're pushing, our Diablo is up at top lane killing minions. We're pinging him relentlessly to come and defend, and he says:

    "I'm Diablo, nothing I can do there"

    After being slackjawed for a second I tell him in... not a nice fashion... that his one job during enemy DKs is to flip it over the wall and push it into our fort so it gets slowed and trapped. And he replies:

    "Can't do that lol don't open your mouth when you're a clueless scrub"

    I give up tonight.

    I kinda like Infernal shrines even after the changes made to it. Had a similar game last week where enemy team took the first 3 punishers leading us around level 16 to our level 13 - then we just decided to stick together and got the final punisher of the game and pushed mid, broke a couple of forts and ended up winning the game at us being on level 20 - while they never got there (they were at level 19) - it all just happened so fast...

    I was playing with my friends and I always told them he golden rule: "wait for enemy team to make the mistake of (greedily) stacking on the shrine" - then we pounced in and got the kills needed to get time to kill 40 adds. Whenever we won our IfS games, it was because of this tactic. And we've lost some games because enemy team waited so long that we lost patience and went into the middle of a shrine and started killing adds - effectively being baited into the shrine.

    HL, with full rank mid-20s, except for the level 33 on the one team and the 34 on the other. Screw you, matchmaker.
