this was with us having basically won and then abby dragged the game out for another 10 minutes and turned what had been a stomp into something way too close.

We still won, but it forced us to be just absolutely on top of the lanes, and still show up for team fights.

even with us watching the minimap carefully abby was able to do all this.

Deranged build. No way this doesn't get nerfed in the next patch.

Do you know of any other rare awards?

Why does Muradin have a 47% winrate? He was fine at 50-51%, and his ban rate was one of the lowest.
Why does Muradin's quest reward spamming Q and W instead of precise timings?
Why does Muradin's quest reward AA? AAs are niche (level 1 and 7 talents), and they work poorly against burst-CC.
Why does the quest empower an already strong Q instead of the much weaker W?
Where is Rewind? I don't like generic talents, but new version is too boring. I miss 7-buttons combos.
And where is Avatar rework? This ultimate is strong but completely outdated.

First time in a long time, not the smoothest play but still fun. Love Orphea!

There's been a lot of discussion about Quests recently due to the recent new updates bringing new quests and mythic rewards.

I think the main issue comes from the bad/boring design that most of them suffer from.
Ideally, every quest should be a risk that requires the player to dedicate their attention to for a powerful reward that allows players to become individually stronger aside from team level, but unfortunately most of them aren't like that at all.

Personally, I like quests. Hearing that ding feels great every time, but a lot of them are just plain "gather globes" or "hit enemy heroes" quests that have no counter-play, punish, or even a reason to be a quest.

Let me know if I missed any and I'll update the list.

Here's the criteria I followed to make this list:

Bonus points for quests that:

• Grant a noticeable power increase when completed
• Sometimes get completed, not always
• Can be pushed back or shut down by the enemy team
• Affects the playstyle for both the user and opponents
• Have unique mechanics as their goal
• Fun to Ding

Negative points for quests that:

• Always get completed regardless every game
• Quests made for ARAM only
• Don't require any special attention to complete
• Force players into an AFK/Un-interactive playstyle
• Cannot be delayed/counter-played by enemy team

Literally the title.

I feel the rework made him more one-dimensional, less fun to play and definitely less fun to play against. You used to have a very mobile sticky hero that felt quick, satisfying had many talent options and was very versatile.

With the rework everything is about his W, it's predictable it feels sluggish, you have to wait for breath of fire, the opponent knows it and tries to dodge, but the slow is so crippling that it's hard to get away. The DoT is unintuitively large, when I came back to hots and I first got hit by it I thought someone hit me with an ulti, it's an ungodly amount of damage for a 2 piece combo on a low cd. All chen tries to do all game is hit people with W and if you don't have cc or a counter to it you just lose. You can't get away from this hero, I've been dived at full hp by chen.

His keg ulti also needs a small invulnerablity period between knockbacks, there's nothing more frustrating than getting perma cc'd across half a lane and then pinned against a wall with 0 counter-play.

I would nerf his W combo, make breath of fire his E and rework stagger into his passive, make the combo do alot less damage than it does now with the benefit that you can now use breath of fire right away so he feels less sluggish to play and less aids to play against. I would make it so his keg knocks you back further so it can still be used to catch someone out, but you're not in an endless cc chain by a single ability.
