No offense to you at all man but I hope this guide gets outdated sooner than later LOL. Nova is 2stronk4me right now. Grats on the feature, Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks! I hope you do well also - good luck!

Thanks for the post. My only problem with this is that means I'll be playing like...15 games in a week. Because there's absolutely 0 incentive to play beyond that. I suppose when Ranked comes out there will be incentive so maybe I'm arguing nothing. Just a bit irked right now that after playing 2 games I'm like "Welp...guess I better do something else now". Also, getting Heroes to lv 5 as a primary means of gaining gold is a problem for me as well. I mean, once you get...

Abathur is a top-tier Hero right now, in solo-queue and premades. In premades you can have better ults with good shotcalling, but in solo-queue Abathur has a massive impact on each individual lane, XP contributions, slow-pushing all the time (And post-16 an aggressive Abathur can push quite hard), taking mercenary camps, stalling out losing games (Symbiote a structure + MULE is so strong at repelling push mechanics like the Golem from the Haunted Mines), extremely deadly combinations with...

Also good on Valla. Cause Nova.

Huh, I'll have to wait and see. I honestly don't play as much as I'd like due to stuff like really bad internet connection, so I haven't even hit 40 yet. I play on average like...5 games per day, which gives me a pretty large Games:Gold ratio since I'm completing daily quests and pretty much not playing outside of that. So far I'm level 34 with ~20K gold earned. I mean, sure, you could buy like 6 Heroes with that...or you could buy 2. I don't know, maybe I just haven't done the...

"You should be able to earn enough gold to unlock ten Heroes by level 40 for Team League." Sorry, but...where are they getting their numbers? Maybe they expect you to only play when you have Daily Quests to and doing the math off that...but I mean, you could grind to 40 and only have some 10-15K gold, and there aren't 10 2,000 Gold heroes. Good interview though!

Hahahaha, I see what you did there.

I'm really curious as to what the design team was thinking when they gave Nova Hot Shots. Not trolling or trying to sound like a terd, legit question. What was the rationale for giving her an undodgeable snipe (essentially) after lv 7 over just buffing her damage? I know they don't just whimsically put talents like that on Heroes, I'd like to know what they thought when they did it.

"Trading" is a common term for trading hits with your opponent. Strong Trade potential means you have a good kit for being able to trade blows with your opposing laner and be higher HP than them when it ends.
