Uninfluenced honest opinions about the gaming industry and its current state. Currently we focus on Warframe & other formats like: News, Updates & Game Reviews
We got a couple of changes to Lunara so that means it's time to update our Build Guide in Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay). Our favorite dryad got a couple of buffs, the do help her out a bit but will not put her over the top. I do believe she is a viable choice but still not a top tier assassin. Keep in mind that your mobility is your greatest weapon but also your best defense. Master her mobility and you should do fine. HotS Quick Match using the Sentinel Skin on Cursed Hollow Battleground
Heroes of the Storm is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows and OS X
Time to update the Zeratul Build Guide in Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay). Zera still plays the same as before for the most part, the changes brought in patch 16.0 (Li-Ming patch) didn't really change his playstyle, while I don't understand why his Q damage was buffed I do like the changes to Shadow Assault. This will mean that you will have to wait for cool-downs less and that you will not be able to Shadow Assalut 3-4 people to death. Most cases you should be getting two kills out of your full CDs... two very fast kills. Try to communicate with your team on what you want to do and stay clear or CC as that may mean an involuntary trip to the spawning pool. HotS Quick Match using the Ronin Zeratul Skin and Star Chariot Mount.
Heroes of the Storm (Hero Status) - Nova Update (Li-Ming Patch 16.0) Sadly not much to say outside of the fact that she needs some TLC. I would recommend you guys look towards other assassin until we get a update for our sexy sniper.
Updated Rehgar Build Guide for Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay). With the Li-Ming patch our shaman got a lot of changes which propelled him once again to the top of the charts. HotS Quick Match where we go through all of the talent tiers and I give you my input on whats good whats not and when you should go for specific options. In this Heroes Gameplay I used the Ironclaw skin with the red chaos orc-like tint
The Infamous Wizard Li-Ming now has her own Epic Gameplay Kill Compilation (montage) in our preferred moba Heroes of the Storm (HotS). From the Diablo universe she is a Ranged Assassin with a powerful punch. She is defined as a hard to play hero who excels at dealing tons of damage while teleporting in and out of danger. Throughout the video you will see her Star Princess Skin which kinda looks to be themed after the old Sailor Moon cartoons.
Ani is bringing you today the story of Li-Ming, the wizard from the Diablo universe
Li-Ming was born in Xiansai. At the age of 7, after the Miracle of the Heron River Valley she travels across the desert, to study at the Yshari Sanctum, located in Caldeum. She started her training with Isendra, the sorceress that went to war against the Lords of Hell. Li-Ming quickly exhausted the extent of Isendra’s knowledge, and at that moment Valthek took over her education. Years later Valthek and Li-Ming reconnect with Isendra in Lut Bahadur. After a series of events Isendra is being found dead. We follow the story explaining the events that took place, the fight that Li-Ming will have before leaving Yshari Sanctum, and the reasons behind that decision.
In Heroes of the Storm, Li-Ming is a ranged assassin. She is the wizard class representative from the Diablo universe. With her joining the game, all the classes in Diablo have now a representative in the Nexus
Li-Ming, the Wizard Lore is the third episode of Ani's StoryTime Series.
Li-Ming Rank 1 Ranked Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm (HotS). The match was fought on Battlefield of Eternity with my team making the right moves early game but mid game we made a few mistakes getting cough out and taking a few bad engagement. This coupled with a few good ETC mosh pits allowed the enemy team to take the initiative all the way to late game where a couple of good team fights secured us victory. I used a Balance build for Li Ming, and I believe my top damage was instrumental in obtaining victory. Considering the enemy team composition Wave of Force would have been a good choice but given the void prison + Maw + tight corners I opted for Disintegrate. Keep in mind that when the first seasons starts there will be a Grand Master rating above rank1
Heroes of the Storm (Patch Review) - Nova & Rehgar Rework, Lunara Fixed (Li-Ming Patch)
Key Subjects : - New Hero Li-Ming - Nova Rework - Rehgar Rework - Lunara Fix - New Shadow Assault for Zeratul - Gazlowe Changes - Lunar Festival Event
Official Patch Notes : http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/1... All and all I see this as a very inserting patch, I have a lot of question that need answering and I can only do that with testing.
After a fair bit of Testing it's time to talk about Li-Ming the latest hero to be added to the Heroes of the Storm (HotS) roster. Heroes of the Storm (Hero Review) - Li-Ming the Wizard - Build | Guide | Tips | Tutorial (HotS) To make a long story short she is very fun and efficient at what she does and I would recommend the hero as long as you remember she requires a fair bit of skill to play correctly. This is my option, feel free to disagree in the comment section down below.
Li-Ming Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm (HotS). This time we will use a teleport build. Not my favorite build but it certainly can work. This game was carried out on the PTR in custom game mode, Dragon Shire Battleground. Star Princess Li Ming Skin and Rainbow Unicorn Mount.
Time to revisit Leoric in a full Build Guide for Heroes of the Storm Gameplay. The Diablo warrior as always been a viable choice but he did get a couple of nerfs which where more or less warranted. We will go through all the talent tiers and I will give you my two cents on what is good and when. HotS Quick Match using the Space Lord Leoric Skin and the Space Lord's Starbreaker mount. He can fit the role of a Bruiser (which he shines at) or can server as a main tank if the situation calls for it, it will depend on the composition of your team, the composition of the enemy team and sometimes the Battleground also plays a important role. Always build your heroes according to your own circumstances.
Official Patch Notes : http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/2... All and all a welcomed patch. Once again the stun trend gets toned down but Falstad got the short end of the stick on this one
More Li-Ming Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm (HotS) Still on the PTR and its a bit of a struggle with the servers acting-up. But I still managed to get this Build Video after a few hours of trying. This time we focused a lot more on pure Damage and less on survivability and utility, which is not a wise approach but it sure can be fun. This is till a work in progress so don't take it as word of law. As always the full story will be in my Build Guide for the Wizard Li Ming. In this HotS Quick Match I used the stock skin and Space Lord's Star Breaker Mount. The more I play the Wizard the more i like her style... the fact that she does tons of damage helps to. So far I have been enjoying her a lot more then other recent releases and we already have a few builds surfacing for her, we just need a bit more time to properly define her but things are looking sweet
The Wizard Li-Ming was released on the Heroes of the Storm PTR so it's time for some Gameplay. Initial impressions are strong and I believe her to be a real powerful addition to the Roster. In the following days I will further try and show you different builds and a final Build Guide. Rank 1 Ranked Gameplay (Hero League) as always is in the schedule , but for that she first needs to be released on the Live Servers. HotS Quick Match using the Star Princess skin and Star Chariot Mount.
Who is Li Ming ? Li-Ming was born in Xiansai and brought to the Yshari Sanctum by Isendra at the age of seven. Valthek took her training under his personal control after he has caught her looking into the forbidden archives and studying forbidden spells. From the first days, Isendra believed that a prophecy was actually talking about Li-Ming, even though everyone except the two of them had been quite skeptical.
Like Isendra herself, Li-Ming dismissed most of the warnings, and refused to ignore the needs of people around Caldeum. At the age of 16, she saved the city of Lut Bahadur from drought by bringing water back. However, the Mage Clans' attention was focused on Isendra — they believed that she was influencing Li-Ming.
Li-Ming discovered Isendra's mangled body shortly after the Sorceress was assassinated in the eastern desert. Questioning Valthek, she concluded that Isendra died unnaturally, and eventually confronted him about this. Even though he tried to stop Li-Ming, she left the Sanctum after besting him in combat (with relative ease, due to the secrets she uncovered).
After Isendra's death, Li-Ming (now age 19) ventured to New Tristram, pursuing a sighting of a fallen star.

Heroes of the Storm (Patch Review) - Tyrande Nerf, Stun Meta Toned Down (Balance Update)
Key Subjects :
- The Stun Meta - Tyrande Nerf - More Balance Updates Faster - Lunara Buff - Raynor Nerf - Cleanse Buff
Official Patch Notes : http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/1... All and all a welcomed and long overdue patch. While I don't believe it is enough to break the current trend it is certainly a step in the right direction
Dustin Browder Confirmed the Necromancer Xul as being a Melee Specialist that will soon come to Heroes of the Storm (HotS). He also confirmed Li-Ming, a ranged Assassin http://www.gamespot.com/articles/hero...
Xul Abilities:
Spectral Scythe (Q) — A “reverse skill-shot,” where you lay a scythe down at a target point that swings back towards you.
Cursed Strikes (W) — Causes Xul’s basic attacks to turn into AOE and also curse enemies to reduce there attack speed by 50%. This will be good against fast heroes or multiple-Warrior team compositions.
Bone Prison (E) — A targeted ability that warns enemy heroes of their impending fate and then 2 seconds later roots them in place.
Poison Nova (R1) — AOE that comes off of Xul and spreads a huge amount of damage around him (it sounds similar to Defile in WoW). You’ll want to use this in the center of teams to maximize damage.
Skeletal Mages (R2) — A wall of mages forms at a distance, sort of like Tassadar’s Force Wall. Unlike Force Wall, though, it doesn’t block all movement but rather slows enemies hit by the mages.
Bone Armor (1 key) — Xul gets one more baseline ability to give him extra survivability when approaching the front line, a bonus shield worth 25% of his health.
Trait: Raise skeleton from fallen minions. Can have max of 4. Last 15 seconds. Good at wearing down towers/minions/blocking skill shots.
Notes: Xul is an incredibly diverse hero with a varying number of talent builds to play as you choose. You can spec into his Skeletal Minion trait to turn him into a hardcore powerful pushing character. Spectral Scythe is good for poking at enemies and lane clear. Cursed Strike is a fantastic counter to heroes who rely on attack speed like Illidan, Thrall, and Butcher. Bone prison forces an enemy to make a split-second decision as to where to move for when they are stunned. Very powerful against Jaina/Kael who have no ways to escape.
Dustin Browder Confirmed the Wizard Li-Ming as being a Ranged Assassin that will soon come to Heroes of the Storm (HotS) He also confirmed Xul the Necromancer (Melee Specialist)
Magic Missiles (Q) - A skill-shot ability fired at a target point. This needs to be aimed very precisely, as the target point is very specific.
Arcane Orb (W) - Another skill-shot that fires at a long range and deals AOE damage on impact, but is not very fast. The trick to this is that the damage is increased the farther away Li-Ming is, so you’ll want to cast it and run to maximize damage.
Teleport (E) - A short-distance, short-cooldown teleport that is specifically characterized as the opposite of the Bolt of the Storm talent.
Disintegration Beam (R1) - Her first heroic ability which can be used to sweep back and forth across enemies and cause great damage.
Wave of Force (R2) - Her second heroic ability which lets you remotely detonate a telekinetic bomb that pushes the enemies around and is a great counter against back-line characters.
Trait: Resets all of her cooldowns, including heroics, when she's part of a kill or an Assist.
Notes: Li-Ming is easy to understand, but really getting the most out of her is extremely challenging. She apparently will be mana constrained and that's how they will balance her. Originally came out from an idea on the team to have a hero with multiple skillshots.
