Hi,
First off, great show, by far my favorite keep up the great work. What do you think about burst characters in the game. As a long time league of legends fan I was getting annoyed with characters like LeBlanc, Akali, Rengar, and more being able to just delete a hero before the character could react. Do you guys think that as more characters like nova are added this could become a problem? Its really fun to be the guy that just destroys someone, but not so much when it happens to you.

Hello Garrett and Kyle,
I learned a couple neat things recently that some newer players may not know about:
1. On Haunted Mines during the first golem, clear your siege giants after mines, but wait to cap them until the golem are just past the fort. They will help defend against the enemy golem and will stay safe behind the wall. If timed right they won't take any damage and will continue to push after the golem is dead.
2. When someone dies, the "slamming death sound" fires on the appropriate left or right speaker. So if you are left side and kill an enemy, you'll hear it in your right ear. This can be helpful in games with lots of Uthers or Tyreals.
3. I'm glad to see people using the "amovetv" chat channel! Did you know you can type "/who" to see who else is there?

Hey Nexureans,
I wanted to chime in on the Swift Storm talent, I use it sometimes (usually with Gazlowe, though at level 20 anyone can solo mercs pretty well) when my team is ahead and we want to get more ahead. If 4 members of your team are knocking down forts and pushing the core, Gazlowe is better utilized getting merc camps, this talent allows him to quickly move around the map getting all the merc camps, w/o getting dismounted by a stray archer minion you happen to gallop past. So it just helps things go faster.
It is also useful on Dragonshire in the same situation, your whole team is pushing towards the core, and as soon as the shrines are active you can go capture both and get the dragon knight on your own, staying swiftly mounted the whole time.
Love the show guys, keep it up.
Vladimir - on Talent Gating
Basically said that from a LoL-playing perspecitve: if I had to level every hero to get those additional spells or half of items, even if it was just one or two games per hero, I would be exasperated every time I got new heros past the couple initial characters I've got. I know MOBAs, if I have enough experience I don't need to be guided and restricted like I'm new player who only saw Windows solitaire.
Due to free heroes: if you're mid to high rating player, every time you will play a hero with restricted talent choice, you may not enjoy this experience and also be viewed as bad/unhelpful teammate by your team, which discourages you from trying new heroes.

Hey guys, love what you doing, I've been listening to you two since StarCast's first episodes. Here's how I would 'fix' the way Blizzard Monetizes Heroes of the Storm.
Hero Level
Start off with both ultimates available.
After your first game with a hero, you unlock all it's talents.
Getting a hero to level 10 would unlock it for you (as apposed to paying gold for it, or waiting for it to come back around in the rotation).
Bundles
Complete Game Bundle - This would allow you to treat this as a retail game, paying a retail price for all the available content including all heroes, mounts, and skins. This would still let u earn rewards for leveling up since heroes, mounts, and skins are currently rewards for leveling up.
All Heroes Bundle
All Mounts Bundle
All Skins Bundle
Finally I think everything should be purchasable with either gold or real money. If I really want to go ftp, but want that sweet Cyb'arak Anub'arak skin, I should be able to earn it.
