Just got done listening to itn and was so excited to boot up heroes.
Had a great run of qm (currently slamming nazeebo) when in the final game of my night I got told I was bad. We have all been there. I definitely didn’t play my best, but many factors led to our drawn out demise. I pulled the thread for about 45 minutes with the accuser after the game politely trying to see why the other player needed to call someone bad. I have some fun screenshots to share of the convo if you like but here is my question… having all been there. What value or lesson am I to take for a team game when this happens? Resiliency? Compassion? How can we hold others' simple critiques to improve our play?
I love the show. Thank you for doing what you do.

Last week you talked about a shift in meta where the team is split 2:3 on two lane maps. I was wondering if you could go into more detail what makes a team comp successful in a 2:3 split and why do we even have the 1:4 split meta in the first place. Thanks for your great and smart show. I really appreciate it!

My favorite character is a dumpster baby. Let's pull him out of the trash. What would you do if Blizzard gave you full control of an Arthas rework, how would you change or fix him?
I know he's always a topic on the show, reference Frostmourne should always hunger, Give Arthas Defile, and my personal favorite, The Death Coil Machine Gun. I feel like these are all great suggestions, but they only scratch the surface. I hope you guys really sink your teeth in on this one, and with any luck someone from the HoTS team will be listening.

According to HOTSLogs when you filter SL for Gold, Silver, and Bronze there is not one tank with a win rate over 50%! (last patch) What are we to make of this?
