I have Zeratul chillen at about level 17 so I have a pretty good handle on how he plays and how his talents work, and I'll be the first to say holy fucking shit man, he is going to be so OP with some of the changes it will be ridiculous. I mean don't get me wrong I'm stoked, but wow, considering VP is still one of the strongest ultimates in the game and Zeratuls only real weakness was probably mana hunger and of course the generic weakness to CC that all melee assassins have I'm totally blown away by how OP and awesome these sound.
Seeker in the Dark letting you W somebody then stick to them with a free blink and a haste? Ultimate squishy killer mode, Zeratul will hard counter slow assassins with KT and Jaina
Vigorous Strike rework seems potentially strong if you have a wonky team composition and you really need something to keep you out in the field a bit longer but I feel like healing talents on Zeratul are almost always niche at best and a waste at worst that could be negated by picking engagements more carefully
A 3 second slow on VP after 20?
I guess I'll go ahead and stay nice and sharp with Zera hahaha

The Marauder Muradin skin looks bad ass!

Really makes me wonder why they didn't try to shoehorn a gifting functionality in before this holiday season. I think it is pretty shit I can't give friends of mine stuff if I wanted to, but that is me.

My guess is that they don't want to deal with the problems of someone getting their account hacked and buying a bunch of "gifts" for other accounts.

I'd imagine they have that down pretty well from WoW and all the account security they had to add for that especially at its peak. I dunno if you remember pre-app authenticators which were little keychains that spit out digits like the mobile ones do for steam and Battle.net.
I see your point, but from a financial point of view, at least in the US, they lose only time/cost of that time deleting the items from the receiving account and possibly shutting down that receiving account. Not like retail fraud where you could be out a TV that costs 500 bucks for the retailer to acquire and sells for 1200.
I could conceive of sites like G2a maybe taking advantage of it for a small grey market, but I don't think that is anything new.

I don't know that Tass would have been on my radar for changes before other heroes, but he is super stale, so maybe we see the return of archon.

how do i create an extra account? Considdering my next silence will be 2months.. Doesnt feel good.
Got my two latest silences overtuned, iam silenced for the third time lets see if it get overtuned. I think it will but you can never know. Still feels bad, one misstep and adios hero league. Pointless playing this game then.

I imagine it's still a hassle to involve the credit card companies and get money refunded, and a PR problem if hacked purchases are sold to third party buyers, who then lose their purchases and maybe get banned while the hacker keeps their money. It's hard to think of any other reasons not to have gifting.

You just sign up as a new user with a new email. Use your current account as a friend referral so you get the free stuff for being invited by a friend. You will start over on your hero pool, but luckily the friend program coming next week can earn you quite a few for free.
You might want to just mute allied chat and refrain from it all together anyway if you are having that many problems getting silenced though. It's always tempting to go off on a dumb decision by a team mate, or a dumb comment. I have come to realize that no matter how right you are, it isn't likely to change their mind, get them to play better, or fix the problem, so it's better just to mute them and play on. Sometimes easier said than done though in the heat of the moment.

Who knows, long and the short of it I guess is Blizz has their reasons.

Totally forgot about the recruit a friend. But i cant figure it out. Dont i need to be logged in on two accounts at the same time? Or how do i do it?
EDIT: OKay appaerantly i can be logged in in-game on 1account and with the other account i can be logged in at battle.net launcher. But dunno if i got the recruit a friend activated or not. Shouldnt it tell in game or something when i log in on the account that is low level?

Okay i fucked up, i recruited the veteran account somehow so the new account dont get any rewards.. Damn it. Oh well fuck that then.
If you are fast and want to reccruit my new account please send me a private message. Its on europe btw.

You can do all the logging in from the battlenet website I think, don't have to be logged into the game at all.
|
Okay i got it to work.. Wohoo.
|
but luckily the friend program coming next week can earn you quite a few for free What is this?

I have 5k+ games played, never once have i played with a friend. Infact i have no friends on my friendlist actually. But its time to play 30 games with someone i guess. Damn.

There will be a thread on reddit for strangers to arrange games, probably a channel created to do it on the fly once the patch comes out I'm sure. Also hold off on doing the tutorials on the new account if you haven't, so you can get new free hero reward for completing them when the patch goes live next week:
- Players can now play through the Tutorial and Battleground Training using three different Heroes: Jaina, Muradin, and Tyrande.
- New players will be able add one of these 3 Heroes to their Hero Collections for free!
