Added : Spectre Illidan and Kandy King
Candy-covered Muradin is absurd looking and Spectre Illidan is SICK.

Objectives. Ignore them or pursue them? Every game someone says to do something different. Played 6 hours nonstop and never won a single game. Is this typical?

Hey ITN crew,
I play Hearthstone quite regularly but I've had a lot of assignments due for uni over the past week so I decided to only log in each day to clear my daily's and save the gold for the impending Nax release that we're all so eagerly awaiting, leaving me a lot more time to do the responsible thing and attend to my studies.
So you can imagine how I felt having made this decision when I open up battle net and see that Blizzard has kindly offered me an invite to the Heroes of the Storm alpha, extending invitations to international players for the first time (I'm in Australia). Using all of my willpower I manage to avoid dropping everything and jumping right in to explore this game. I'm an avid listener of The Angry Chicken and I work at night, so I stuck to my guns and loaded up most of the back catalog of Into The Nexus and spent the week studying by day and torturing myself by listening to you guys at night while I work. I'm pretty proud that I lasted the whole week without playing the game, and finally today I managed to submit my last assignment.
Having a good chunk of time ahead of me before I need to leave for work, with the sounds of a thunderstorm brewing outside my window, I could think of no better way to spend my afternoon but immersed in this game that I've been waiting all week to play. I even told my girlfriend that I wasn't feeling well and wasn't feeling up to going to see her. Just as I'm about to load up the game the power to my house (and in fact, my whole suburb) is cut, caused by the thunderstorm outside. The power has come back on now, just in time for me to send you this email and head to work. Oh well, I've waiting this long, one more night will be easy. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hey ITN Crew all the way from Australia :) I only just got into the alpha yesterday I wanted to ask what advice you have for a new player who has no friends playing in the alpha and is solo queueing ? Seems a bit hard to get some players to focus on objectives or is there any heroes you would suggest that are good for starting?
Long time fan of all of you shows and up the San Francisco Giants Dills!
