Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Malfurion Build Guide (HotS Malfurion)

Detailed Malfurion Gameplay Build Guide in Heroes of the Sorm. In this format we will go through each of the talent tiers and I will give you my two cents on what are the good options, how can you build Malf and in what circumstances should you pick up certain talents. The Build Guide aims to teach ways of playing a Hero, doesn't mean it should be treated as gospel, more like guidelines. HotS Quick Match on the Tomb of the Spider Queen battleground using the Storm Mantle skin and Reign-Deer Mount.
Some more important changes brought recently to the Arch-Druid :
Twilight Dream now also passively increases your Mana Regeneration by 1.5. Gameplay start 13:53

Heroes of the Storm (HotS News) - Dragon Teaser - Deathwing | Ysera | Alexstrasza

New teaser for Heroes of the Storm depicting a Dragon Shadow. So here is a list of iconic Dragons from the Warcraft universe :

EDIT : Some developments would point out the Dragon as being Chromie (Chronormu) of the Bronze Dragonflight.
As a personal note I would be terribly disappointed if out of all the amazing dragon options Warcraft has this is their choice.
https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthes...

Deathwing the Destroyer, formerly known as Neltharion the Earth-Warder, was one of the five Dragon Aspects and leader of the black dragonflight. Thousands of years ago, Neltharion was empowered by the Titans with dominion over the earth and the deep places of Azeroth. However, driven mad by the Old Gods, he turned against the other Aspects during the War of the Ancients. Among both mortals and dragons his name became one whispered with a feeling of fear and contempt.

Nozdormu, the Timeless One
The great bronze wyrm chosen by Aman'Thul to guard time itself and police the ever-spinning pathways of fate and destiny.

Alexstrasza, the Life-Binder
The immense red leviathan chosen by Eonar to safeguard all life on the world.

Ysera, the Dreamer
The lithe green wyrm, and Alexstrasza's younger sister, chosen by Eonar to watch over the growing wilds of the world from her verdant realm, the Emerald Dream.

Malygos, the Spell-Weaver - Original
The sinuous blue leviathan chosen by Norgannon as the guardian of magic and hidden arcanum.

Kalecgos, the Spell-Weaver - New
After Malygos was defeated, Kalecgos was chosen by the Blue Dragonflight to replace Malygos.

Neltharion, the Earth-Warder - Original
The mighty black leviathan chosen by Khaz'goroth and given dominion over the earth and the deep places of the world. He was driven mad by the whisperings of the Old Gods and managed to drive the Blue Dragonflight to near extinction. He is now known as Deathwing.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Brightwing Build Guide (HotS Brightwing)

Comprehensive Brightwing Gameplay Build Guide in Heroes of the Storm Patch 17.4. For the longest time BW didn't see much play, thankfully more recent changes have shifted the meta to a spot where BW is a bit more comfortable. If you are a support player then you should have a spot for the butterfly in your Roster. In this format we go through each of the talent options and I give you my input on what are the good options, in what circumstances etc. The biggest recent change to our "friendly" butterfly was to the Heroic Emerald Winds, which now also passively increases the healing of Soothing Mist by 8%.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Artanis Build Guide Tutorial

Artanis now has a mini gap-closer added to his default kit, more precisely to his W (twin blades). For this reason we are going to go for a full Gameplay Build Guide in Heroes of the Storm or HotS for short. With the buff to his base kit also came a nerf to his base health and health regeneration (-5%). These changes do help the StarCraft warrior but I still believe that the main issue with him is the lack of control over his Q (Blade Dash). In this format we go through each of the talent options and I give you my thoughts on what to pick and in what circumstances. The game was carried out on the Dragon Shire Battleground and I used the master skin and the Nexus Battle Beast mount (at patch 17.4) Gameplay start 7:09

We should also take into account the Butcher buffs, hoepfully now these two underplayed heroes will see more action (Rexxar & The Butcher).

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Tracer Dancing Queen (HotS)

Tracer was recently launched in Heroes of the Storm, she uses the exact same kit as in Overwatch but translated for HotS. I have done extensive testing with the perky Brit and so far she feels a bit to strong, being able to dance around most opposition while dealing high amounts of damage and staying relatively safe. This is not a build guide, more of a demonstration of what she can do. You will find my comprehensive Tutorial to Tracer here :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mkhY...
She demands a lot from the player but once you get to grips with her you should be able to get some good results while having a ton of fun...well at least I have fun playing her :D
HotS Quick Match on the Infernal Shrines Battleground, the game was streamed live on my Twitch Channel (link bellow)

Full Tracer Build Guide Tutorial in Heroes of the Storm or HotS. This is a long format style of video which covers everything you should know about the brand new Overwatch Assassin. We will go through all of the talent tiers and I will give you my input on whats good whats not and what to pick when. The game was carried out on the Dragon Shire battleground in Quick Match mode, but the gameplay is only half the story and my recommendation is to sit through the first section of the video where we talk about each talent. Always keep in mind to take all information with a pinch of slat. Game Play start 19:46 Hot atm, please enjoy it while it lasts.

Heroes of the Storm (Patch Review) - Enter Tracer, Artanis Buff

Heroes of the Storm (Patch Review) - Enter Tracer, Artanis Buff (HotS Balance Patch 17.2)
Key Subjects :
- New Hero Tracer
- Greymane buff/nerf
- Artanis Buff
- Early Game Punisher buff (Infernal Shrines)
- Sad situations addressed on Towers of Doom but "the dance" continues.
Official Patch Notes : http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/2...

The Tracer Patch arrived with few goodies, so far I have seen only bitterness over the Greymane changes, while I personally like changes that forces a player to be more skillful in his execution of a hero, the reward for a masterful play needs to be there. I'm not sure if the new Cocktail is worth it and I rather bet on snowball (testing required). Ever since Artanis was released we had a problem with his Q ability, more precisely the rewind part which is not controllable through any means. Blizzard tries to "fix" Artanis by going around the problem and so they added a gap-closer to his base kit... In my humble opinion this merry-go-round could have been avoided by just giving us more control over blade dash.
As for Tracer ... enjoy it while it lasts!

Overwatch Gameplay - Competitive Play Ranked Gameplay (Reaper & Torbjorn)

Overwatch Ranked Gameplay in Competitive Mode with Reaper & Torbjorn. The game was carried out on the Dorado map initially on defense where the mighty turret shined brightly! Turrets never miss! The enemy team had a hard time getting over our initial barricade and by the time they got a push together it was already to late. On the offense I switched to one of my most played heroes Reaper, the story pretty much the same.. with my team getting a convincing two to zero victory.

Overwatch is an upcoming multiplayer first-person shooter in development by Blizzard Entertainment. Unveiled at BlizzCon 2014, the game emphasizes cooperative gameplay using a cast of various "heroes", each with their own abilities and roles within a team. The game entered closed beta in North America and Europe on October 27, 2015, with plans to bring the beta to Asia at a later date. The game is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in the first or second quarter of 2016. Unlike previous Blizzard releases, there are no plans for a version of Overwatch for OS X

There are still no Beta keys or key, account are flagged manually so be sure to sign up for the beta!

Heroes of the Storm Ranked Gameplay - Illidan Try Hard Mode)

Heroes of the Storm Ranked Gameplay with Illidan in HotS Hero League. The game was carried out around Rank 8 on the Battlefield of Eternity battleground. I used the Spectre Illidan skin with the Nexus Battle-Beast mount (blue tints). The game went back and forward for a bit but eventually we managed to get our act together and the match went our way. Keep in mind that this is still the preseason, when Season 1 (S1) comes out there will be different rating and even a Grand Master Rating above Rank 1. When the first season comes out I will do a lot more ranked gameplay but in the mean-time I am trying to get my Team league rank as high as I can for possible rewards.
