Oh, his kit will be a nightmare for healers

How is everyone liking the new team league? It feels less competitive than hero league for me at the moment, but I am trash tier (silver/gold). On the other hand, there are less first pick Butchers and Novas.
Cool, but I'm still waiting for some Classic Blizzard characters (read: pre-Warcraft) to make it into the game, as The Lost Vikings feel a bit out of place for being the only hero unit with that distinction.
Give me Kyle Blackthorne already!
Solo ranked is a nightmare for qeue, 900 seconds to find a match compared to HL which takes 200 seconds at least
solo queue Team League? What are you referring to here?
My experience has been 30 second Team League solo queues, 10 minute Hero League queues.
yeah team league has been way faster Qs for me but I've been losing so much I now Q into silvers which is low even by my HL standards.
Yes, I dunno why the huge disparity on qeues , I play solo on team league and the qeue is pretty short

He's gonna get some kind of nerfs. Hopefully not too heavy til we see if players are going to start countering his relatively easy to counter abilities at a higher rate and dropping his winrate.
His Carrion Swarm ult needs to be hit for sure with a reduction of healing. I wonder if his CD's will get touched too on his basics as they are pretty quick.
As people recognize that his Q, his E, and both ults can be stunned or interrupted with knockbacks, though, his winrate should level off or begin to drop even before that stuff. Just remains to be seen whether people will adjust or not. If they hit him hard with the nerf bat and then people adjust as well, he'll be like Chen. If they nerf him lightly to start and add to it if they need to til people start to adjust, he might still be a decent hero.

Played with 3 friends tonight.
Games lost when the enemy team had Mal'Ganis - 6/6
Games we won when we said "fuck this" and picked Mal'ganis - 5/5
Granted this is Quick Match, not organized ranked play. But I think he is really strong in unorganized play right now. Our MT picked him and was having a field day.

I just played a few quick match games (as Ana) and won/lost 50/50 with Mal'Ganis. That said, I only played four games and the losing games also featured the same particularly bad KT on DPS.
I don't find him too bad to play against in HL (and if you lack counterplay to a last-pick you probably drafted bad).

Yeah, StormSpy has him sitting at 58% winrate in HL/TL, which is pretty high. I suppose I mean that Mal'Ganis is easier to counterplay in organized drafts than some other overtuned-on-release heroes (Maiev, Fenix).
Paired with a hacker using mutiple Dva's Mekasin our team, still lost due our varian going alone and feeding like crazy
They have to be careful nerfing him because of how his trait works. Maybe a slight HP nerf and an ult nerf

Orphea looks really cool. Her animations look so good! She's definitely a hero that I'll be getting.
On the other hand, the reception to the new gameplay changes seem pretty negative so far. I'll withhold judgment until I actually play the game with the changes, but a lot of folks are doom and glooming over the XP and catapult changes.

About the same as before, I'd imagine. They could send a catapult down taken lanes but it wouldn't do much. Camps are more valuable now, especially if you can walk them into things (since I don't think the defending team gets XP for self-destructing mercs?)
if it's the same as before w/ no XP gained there's no advantage from taking a bell tower unless you can immediately follow it up w/ a camp or an altar. In that case the best strategy might be to leave them so low you can convert them right before an objective.
The XP gain is largely invisible and ends up a wash most of the time when both team trade a fort back and forth. It's not a big deal.
Ehhhh I think its a problem personally, but maybe I just need to play with it to understand.
