I just wanted to write quickly to see what your opinions are on Azmodan's change in the last patch. Have either of you played Azmodan recently? Have you played against anyone using him? After looking at hotslogs, I was surprised to see his winrate staying steady, but the build has become rather popular. It does allow him to very effectively double soak on some maps at 7, and gives him a strange new impact on team fights, especially those in lane.
Talent bonuses related to All Shall Burn will now proc their effects if the target dies while All Shall Burn is channeling on an enemy.
This includes effects for Master of Destruction, Cydaea's Kiss, Hell Rift, and Sin's Grasp.

The conversation with CavalierGuest about the tank having multiple jobs including shot calling got my mind racing with ideas. This is something I struggle with as I'm still trying to break the diamond/master barrier. How about an additional player/role, the shot-caller (commander)? In Battlefield 2 each team had a commander that could drop supplies and give commands. Players didn't have to listen to their commands but if they did, they got bonus XP. How about we have that for draft game play? They can advice on bans and picks, ping an attack to defend location, drop you globes or healing beacons, vision...endless possibilities (including trolls - those we can vote kick).
