Yeah I'd say that's a pretty fair tier list. The good news is that lower tier heroes aren't auto-lose. If you have good teamwork many of the lower tier heroes are viable, just not quite as strong at a base level.

If you have good teamwork many of the lower tier heroes are viable, just not quite as strong at a base level. It's true. Frequently it's a Russian roulette of who plays worst and makes more mistakes. Sometimes stronger composition and balanced team loses to some random picks just because they did more mistakes. Also, all heroes are useful, you just need to learn their purpose and incorporate them in team play. Like specialists are good at pushing lanes but require team protection. Tanks are good for engage and so on. Standard team composition is 1 tank, 1 support, 2 assassins, 1 specialist or another assassin. But I've seen competitive setups with 2 tanks for advanced control or 2 supports for maximized heal and sustain.

so guys what are your fav heroes? I prefer playing ranged assassins (by that I mean Valla most of the time, but I'm getting Jaina soon ) oddly enough, I realized I really like Tassadar, so I guess ranged attack (not getting my hands dirty) is my preffered thing, along with dishing out a decent amount of damage

He's the strongest 1 on 1 fighter which is paramount in pubs. He's easy to play too. He's not in the meta though because of overabundance of ranged dps and it may be difficult for him to get to them in fights. Second favorite is Diablo, the strongest tank in the game IMO. His engage is superb and very little skill required as he has no aimed abilities. Insta-res at 100 souls and cool flavor. I also like Falstad, because of his mobility and quite nice skin. You can play him very safe and stay further back in fights, waiting for a perfect moment to strike. His gameplay is rather clunky though, requires getting used to.

Ouch. Sounds like a rough streak man. Can I ask what rank in HL you are? 35ish It's so frustrating to realize that you, on your own, have very little influence on the game's outcome, and one mistake can easily cost you the game/all your advantage. Combine that with toxicity when people blaming each other for the loss, people not knowing/understanding meta and when pointed at it pay no attention at best or just laugh at you. At this point, game becomes just a roulette and you hope that you will be matched against worse players, that make more mistakes than your team. Also, gaming mechanics are abusive and unfair. You win the teamfight, enemy just respawn, comes back at full health, kills your entire team and takes the objective. Also, people don't know when to back off unless they're killed.

I've been floating around in the single digits for a while now.
It does get better as the MMer starts to average a higher skill rating. But yes down at your rank can be pretty frustrating.
A few things that helped me climb. If you are solo queuing (which I was) your best bet is to play assassins

Cont- play assassins because they have the greatest ability to carry with horrible teamwork.
Aggressively communicate and ping your team and try to be positive. Low rank games badly need a leader to tell them what to do.
There is always going to be bad games and unbalanced matchup a. As long as you can keep a positive win rate you will rise out of that garbage though. gal man, hope you don't quit.
Also matchmaking should get much better as the populating increases with launch

Due to recent patch's tank rebalancing, tier list for them has changed a bit:
t1: Anub'arak, Muradin, ETC t2: Tyrael, Diablo t3: Chen, Stiches, Arthas, Sonya
Also, open beta test has started, so anyone can go ahead and join HOTS.

Because of meta Well, in short, Diablo and etc got their talents revamped, which resulted in Diablo's health pool herf, so he dropped out from t1. Muradin and Anub received improvements in patch (Muradin got attack increased and increased damage on disabled targets talent, anub got bug's AI improvements and some other minor things). Stiches was nerfed long time ago and was not in t1 for a long time. Requires a lot to make hooks work.

Currently warping in (downloading).
Excited as I'm a pretty huge Starcraft fan. EDIT: Are there any server options here? Like in every other Blizzard game?
