Overwatch Video - Lúcio Ability Overview [PlayOverwatch]

Come on, let’s bring it together: http://blizz.ly/MeetLucio

Growing up in one of Rio de Janeiro's favelas, Lúcio initially turned to music as a way to lift people's spirits and help them rebuild as a community in the wake of the Omnic Crisis. Now an international celebrity, Lúcio seeks to inspire positive social change through his music and fights to make the world a better place.

On the battlefield, Lúcio’s cutting-edge Sonic Amplifier buffets enemies with projectiles and knocks foes back with blasts of sound. He also plays two different songs—one to heal his team and the other to boost their movement speed—and uses his Crossfade technique to switch between them at will. And when the going gets especially rough, Lúcio will drop the beat, activating a temporary Sound Barrier to shield all nearby allies.

New battlefield is there too.

New map spawns shrines a la Diablo you need to kill spawning creatures and you get a Monster fighting for you afterwards. The Monster is directly from Diablo 3. hell beast thingy.

New Blackheart Doubloon Mount AS well, you can see my rexxar on it on the second picture.

Rexxar has Misha to fight for him. GoT many talents to boost her. 2 ultis:
  1. bestial wrath for misha
  2. summon Stampede like thing
Q: is throw axe (skillshot)
W: Misha charge
E: heal Misha and yourself if she is in range.
D: whistle (call back Misha)

This isnt Rexxars default skin, i took the third one as far as i remember.

Monk + skins is there too, my buddy played him. He was called Kharazim.

Only took some quick shots as I don't know if we are allowed to take any.

Update for some vague monk ability description (from my Buddy, will try to play him later)
Q: fast teleport to enemy or friendly player (+Talent for heal)
W: heal player
E: 3 fast Hit combo
Ult1: 7 sided strike
Ult2: Some huge heal ( he didnt take the Talent)

Hearthstone - New Ranked rewards announced!

Official Blizzard blog link here! (Also shows new cards and the new mechanic "Joust")

Highest Rank Bonus
"We love receiving feedback from the Hearthstone community. One thing that we’ve been hearing a fair bit of is that, when playing on the Ranked Play ladder, people often feel hesitant to continue playing after reaching a particularly good rank. It simply feels like too much of a step backwards if they lose a rank or two. Based on that feedback, we’re making a change that we think will help put players’ minds at ease so that they can continue enjoying Ranked Play and pursuing even greater heights."

Quest Log image
"Beginning this month, each player’s Quest Log will display the highest rank they have reached during the month and recognize their accomplishment. Additionally, we’ll be awarding players who progress past rank 20 with some minor rewards as a way of congratulating them for their achievements. Eligible players will receive a treasure chest at the end of each season containing the season’s Ranked Play card back, one or more golden cards, and some Arcane Dust. What’s in the chest is determined by your highest rank over the course of the season. For example, a player whose highest rank was 17 will receive a golden common card, 20 dust, and the season card back."
Example Rank 17 chest
Example Rank 5 chest

In case anyone is confused, this system launches and goes into effect this month, most likely in the TGT patch. So yes, start tryharding immediately!

Heroes of the Storm Guide - Hero Buyer's Guide: Leoric [by MrTransparent]

It's that time again, Leoric is due to go down to 10k gold Between 22:30 and Midnight tonight (GMT+1) -Approximately from Johanna and Butchers times-

So there are probably some people thinking, is Leoric worth the gold? Is he the sort of hero I would like?

So here is some Pointers.
  • The most Similar Play styles are probably Arthas and Tyrael.
  • Sustain is his game, he will last long when he is alive, and be back soon when he is dead.
  • Does well against The beefier Tanks such as Muradin and Johanna due to Drain hope doing % damage.
  • Can be a Pseudo-Specialist, Does good in lane (due to sustain) and has good wave clear.
  • Not Really a solo tank, but it can be done.
  • Lacks Stuns to save team
  • Both Heroics are Viable.
  • One of the most annoying heroes to play against, Constant slows and being ever present in the fight.
  • Slow Attack speed, Get used to AA, Q, AA.
  • Has a decent escape skill in Wraith walk.
  • Has a hard time soloing Merc Camps.
  • Fairly Vulnerable to Stuns and Mobile Heroes
  • Non-stop play time not good if you like to text people when you are dead
All in all, Leoric is a top tier hero, Worth 10k for sure if you enjoy being a front line, and like clearing waves and collecting globes.

Diablo 3 Video - Greater Rift 65 \ Rank 1 Wizard \ Season 3 [Avoidlol]

So this rift was quite interesting, not the normal rank 1 rifts you see. I go through 4 floors, each good in it's own, aside from one that was quite difficult to get progression on.

I am very unhappy with my last death of the run as it lost me over 40 seconds, either way it was a fun run and a challenge to go through something for once that isn't zombies.

Hope you enjoy!
