Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Zagara Build Guide (HotS Quick Match)

Time to revisit Zagara in a full Gameplay Build Guide for Heroes of the Storm. Time has passed and Zagy remains the same, still the same old supreme lane bully, still the vision giver and still has tons of hero damage, mostly single target and lets not forget devouring maw which is one of the best area of effect crowd control in the game. HotS Quick Match using the Master Zagara skin and Void Speeder Mount. In this Build Guide format we go through each of the talent tiers and i give you my input on what to chose and when, also I try offer insight on how abilities can work in specific scenarios (tacts). Blizzard did state that Xul will be able to push Zag out of the lane, will it be so ? Time will tell but I am very interested to finally see a Hero capable of making that happen.

Overwatch (Closed Beta) - Progression, Loot, Cosmetic Upgrades, Maps.

The Overwatch Closed Beta is back Online, and with it we got a ton of new features and upgrades.

EXPERIENCE AND LEVELS
Progression in Overwatch is based on earning experience and leveling up your account.

Currently, you can gain experience by completing Quick Play and Play vs A.I. games. The amount of experience you earn will be determined by a variety of factors including overall participation, whether or not your team won, what medals and commendations you received, and more. Quick Play games will also award more experience than Play vs A.I. games to account for the difference in difficulty between the two modes.

It doesn't matter which hero you play, as experience is earned on an account-wide level. Earn enough experience, and you'll level up. Level up and you'll receive a Loot Box!

LOOT BOXES
Each Loot Box contains four random items that can be used to customize the appearance of your heroes and personalize the way you express yourself in-game. Items come in common, rare, epic, and legendary quality levels, and every Loot Box includes at least one rare quality or better item.

To open a Loot Box, either navigate to the main menu and click the "Loot Box" option, or bring up the Escape menu (default: ESC) and click the bright orange "Open Loot Box" button. You can open one Loot Box at a time, and you'll have a chance to preview or equip your new items before moving on to the next Loot Box.

In Overwatch (as in many Blizzard games), different colors are associated with different item qualities. Blue is rare, purple is epic, and orange is legendary. These colors will appear in several locations throughout the game—even unopened Loot Boxes will glow in a color corresponding to what items are inside.

Hundreds of different items are available from Loot Boxes, including player icons, skins, emotes, sprays, voice lines, victory poses, and highlight intros, as well as credits that you can spend to unlock items of your choice.

Player Icons – Customize your player profile with an icon reflecting your favorite character, ability, Blizzard game, and more.
Skins – Dress for success with new looks for all 21 heroes, including rare color variations and legendary skins such as Safari Winston or Punk Tracer.
Emotes – Taunt your enemies and cheer on your allies with a series of new in-game emotes. 
Sprays – Make your mark on the battlefield with graffiti-like sprays based on heroes, maps, logos, and more (default: T).
Voice Lines – Chat up your fellow players variety of new voice lines available through the communications wheel (default: C).
Victory Poses – Strike a pose and tailor how your hero appears in your team’s photo finish.
Highlight Intros – Add a little flair to your Plays of the Game with special animated introductions for each hero.
If a Loot Box contains an item that is already in your collection, you will instead receive credits, a new in-game currency that can be spent in the Hero Gallery to unlock items you don't already own (see below for more information). Credits can also be earned randomly from Loot Boxes—the higher the quality of the box, the more credits you’ll receive. 

It’s important to note that all of these items are purely cosmetic, which means they won't provide any additional player power. They will, however, give you a plethora of ways to express yourself within the world of Overwatch. Enjoy the default settings or mix-and-match—the choice is yours!

Right now in the Closed Beta, Loot Boxes can only be earned by leveling up your account, though we do intend for players to be able to purchase them with real money once the game is live. We'll share more details in the weeks ahead, including pricing information and how Loot Box purchasing will work, so stay tuned.

HERO GALLERY
Players can customize their heroes, view items they’ve unlocked, and spend Credits to unlock new items in the Hero Gallery.

To access the Hero Gallery, navigate to the game's main menu and click on Hero Gallery. From the gallery, you can select the hero you'd like to customize, and then see all of the skins, emotes, victory poses, voice lines, sprays, and highlight intros available for that hero. Equip an item you want to use from your collection, or click the "Unlock" button to spend credits and unlock that skin or spray you've been eyeing.

Note: Items unlocked with credits cannot be refunded, so spend them wisely!

Eventually, player icons will also be able to be managed and unlocked through the Hero Gallery, but for now any adjustments to your selected icon must be done through the Career Profile Player Icons page.

Heroes of the Storm (Patch Review) - Kael'thas & Rehgar Nerf, Nova Buff (Balance Update 16.1)

Key Subjects :

- Rehgar Nerf
- Kael'thas Nerf
- Nova Buff
- Falstad Buff
- Thrall Nerf
- Diablo Nerf

Official Patch Notes :
http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/2...
Another well balanced patch, overall I think the changes are beneficial but Kael will suffer... I'm going to wait till the re-work to see how the new fire mage will perform. The Buff to Nova fixes some issues but not all.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Lunara Build Guide Update

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 (Gameplay) - Zeratul Build Guide, Full Basic Attack (AA Build)

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.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Rehgar Build Guide, New Wolf in Town

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

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Li-Ming Kill Compilation (Heavy Metal)

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's StoryTime - Li-Ming the Wizard (Diablo Lore)

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.

Heroes of the Storm Ranked Gameplay - Li-Ming, Balance Build (Rank 1)

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 (Hero Review) - Li-Ming the Wizard - Build | Guide


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.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Li-Ming, Teleport Build (PTR)

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Leoric Build Guide - Space Lord Skin

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
