Heroes of the Storm - Tracer Confirmed (Overwatch Origins Reward)

It would appear that the Overwatch Hero Tracer will be making her way to Heroes of the Storm. When is unclear at this point but Overwatch is set to launch by 21st June 2016 so she should be made available around that date, perhaps a bit earlier.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Kael'thas Build Guide - Master Skin

Time to revise my Kael'thas Build Guide and for that we need Heroes of the Storm Gameplay. In this HotS Quick Match we will go through what viable talent choices we have for the fire mage and talk a bit about where he currently stands in the meta. The game was carried out on the Dragon Shire battleground with both teams on equal footing till mid game after a series of mistakes allowed us to achieve victory! The Master Skin was used and the Void Speeder mount from the SC2 Legacy of the Void deluxe / collectors edition.

Some Lore on Kael :
Prince Kael'thas was a powerful mage and member of the Six, the shadowy high council of the Kirin Tor. Prior to the Second War, he and the other members of the high council questioned Khadgar about the orcs and the events in Karazhan that led to the death of Medivh.
During the Third War, with the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas, he evacuated as many survivors as he could and burned many of the enchanted forests to spite the Scourge. He assumed command over the bulk of the surviving high elves (see the fall of Quel'Thalas and Splintering) and renamed his followers blood elves in homage to their murdered brethren. He also managed to salvage the skull of his father, Anasterian, from the ruins of Quel'Thalas, as well as the broken runeblade Felo'melorn, which he later reforged.

Heroes of the Storm (Gameplay) - Sylvanas Build Guide - Ranger General Skin

Been a while since I've done some Sylvanas Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm. Time for another Build Guide for the Banshee Queen where I will take you through all the viable talent choices at this current time. In this HotS Quick Match I used the Ranger General Skin and Headless Horseman's Charger mount. Had a great start on haunted mine and dominated the early games, a few mistakes here and there brought back in enemy team into the game but it was to late for them to turn the tide of battle and we ended winning the game

Some Backstory :
Sylvanas Windrunner (the Dark Lady, Queen of the Forsaken) is the former Ranger-General of Silvermoon and the leader of the Forsaken faction of undead in the Horde. She is the middle sister of Alleria and Vereesa Windrunner.
When Arthas Menethil and the Scourge came to Quel'Thalas for the sunwell, Sylvanas was there to defend her homeland. After fighting and losing at every turn to his hands, Arthas killed her but severed her soul from her body as an act of revenge. She unwillingly served and aided him in the destruction of Silvermoon.
During the time when the Lich King was losing grasp on his undead minions, Sylvanas gained her free will and plotted against Arthas in Lordaeron with the help of the Nathrezim. After her assassination attempt failed, she turned her attention to claiming Lordaeron for herself. She bent the dreadlord, Varimathras, to her will and, with the help of the human remnants led by lord Garithos, killed Balnazzar and Detheroc. With the death of the dreadlords, Garithos and the disbanding of the human remnants, Sylvanas was able to claim Lordaeron and made her home under the former Capital City, which she named "The Undercity."

My Thoughts on the Overwatch Closed Beta (Tracer Gameplay)

After a few days of gameplay in the Overwatch closed beta I thought I'd share with you my impressions on the game so far. Nothing scripted just what I accumulated and wanted to share. Please keep in mind that I am not a FPS kinda-guy.

Overwatch Gameplay - Bastion Defense Role (Closed Beta Bastion Gameplay)

Defense Role Bastion Gameplay in the new Overwatch Closed Beta. My forth day with the game and learning as I go but so far it's been very fun and entertaining even for a person like me who is not very into the FPS genre
It appears there will be no Beta key | keys and accounts are flagged for access as was the case with the Heroes of the Storm Alpha/Beta testing.

Once a frontline combatant in the devastating Omnic Crisis, this curious Bastion unit now explores the world, fascinated by nature but wary of a fearful humanity.


Overwatch™ is a team-based shooter where heroes do battle in a world of conflict.
Soldiers. Scientists. Adventurers. Oddities.

In a time of global crisis, an international task force of heroes banded together to restore peace to a war-torn world.
It ended the crisis and helped to maintain peace in the decades that followed, inspiring an era of exploration, innovation, and discovery. But after many years, Overwatch's influence waned, and it was eventually disbanded.
Overwatch is gone… but the world still needs heroes.

Overwatch will feature squad-based combat with two opposing teams of six players each. Players choose one of several hero characters, each with their own unique abilities and role classes. The four character roles include: offense-oriented characters with high speed and attack but low defense, defense-oriented characters meant to form choke points for enemies, support characters that provide buffs and debuffs for their allies and enemies respectively, such as healing or speed alterations, and tank characters that have a large amount of armor and hit points to withstand enemy attacks. Players can switch between characters in-game following deaths, which is encouraged by the game's overall design. The game's maps are inspired by real-world locations; the first three maps unveiled ("King's Row", "Hanamura", "Temple of Anubis") are inspired by London, Japan, and the ruins of Ancient Egypt.

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

Let's go for some Falstad Gameplay in Heroes of the Storm Quick Match mode. In this HotS build guide I used the Storm Lord skin and we will go through what viable choices we have in terms of talents for each tier. Currently Falstad is not a top tier assassin but that doesn't mean he can not work out in the proper team composition. The battleground is Battlefield of Eternity where we managed to take a somewhat early lead and carried the momentum to Victory... as is the case most of the time on this specific map.
