Heroes Brawl

This looks so dumb, I absolutely love it.

My exact reaction! I'm so excited!

It release live on the 17th, but it will be on the PTR on the 10th. The 1000 gold reward is a great way to get people playing, but I hope that you can still get gold from winning/losing a game like other game modes. Because I want to be able to play this mode a lot.

I want to play the punisher Arena map so bad lol. There should be a similar main battleground as well - something like TOSQ but with punishers instead of gem turn ins.

Let me explain one thing about hammertime mutator.

Mutators in HOTS are familiar thing to mutators you see in CO-OP SC2, which add new things to missions like.

In Tarsonis train mission, on first mutator was infected marines spawned and acted like zombies. The more you killed enemy units, the more zombies spawned. Also you got reduced sight on mini map and generally on map. Sometimes there is per weekly mutator two challenges, but mostly they are three.

I told you guys this, because that hammertime looks fun.

Just had a random thought...

All Vikings game could be crazy fun to play even if you suck at playing them. Imagine all the 30 individual Vikings running around.

That makes me want to try out co op sc2.

It's crazy how it took so long to get S1 started but now the content just keeps pouring in.

Brawl looks great (Samuro does too), it'll probably be my go-to mode for HotS unless WoW bores me again.

Finished my first brawl.

Two games lost, third won.

For tyrande better is starfall for that map because you can AoE enemy team. As for Anub'Arak i take cocoon and use it mainly against healers. Worked well.

How does XP in a brawl work? Do all heroes you played get the XP? Just got 49k for Li-Ming(she was on the end screen), played a Tychus match before (won both so there was no third).
It's really fun though, one of the first times in quite a while that I really wanted to keep playing. :d

You don't get hero xp, only account xp.

[DesoPL]

You don't get hero xp, only account xp.

I got allready my account lvl 40 so meh. ;/

Ah, thanks, that makes sense. Guess that does make it useless for a lot of people though.

Just had a round with 10 Nazeebos. Hilarity ensued.

[Tenris]

Had a round with 10 Sarumos, altho I'm sure I counted 30 at some point. First time I've played the game in 3 months and I did thoroughly enjoy the arena, may start playing again if I ever get the time.

Will play three times per week for the gold and leave it at that. Played 9 sets (3 matches) and in 8 of them I knew which side would win after 'drafts'. The ninth included 10 Novas and was surprisingly entertaining. Btw in an 'assassin vs assassin' match I really don't want my choice restricted to Jaina, Valla and Chromie. Enemy team had Kerrigan, Samuro and Zera...

Punisher Arena one still looks like the most fun one. I am more into the Arena style brawls as well as ARAM (lost cavern). Not so much into mutators.

And yeah some shuffle pick drafts suck - like the All Hammer one, but in case you have a sqioshy, just stay in the back line as much as you can. I kinda like the idea of using brawl to practice hero mechanics in a fast paced PVP arena. Like try mode but better.

Aw yeah, looking forward to this one! The punisher brawl felt a little dull to me.

Indeed, this sounds much better.
