Hero League to be restricted to one and two player parties
Coming in the next Heroes of the Storm game update is a big change for players competing in the ranked Hero League: players will only be able to queue solo or in parties of two.
The Queue: Entirely, 100% focused on Blizzard games
Adam and Alex are still out of the office, so of course the rest of us are being very diligent in covering all aspects of Blizzard gaming. So diligent. So very diligent. No non-Blizzard games to be found here. You’ll just have to look elsewhere.
So, let’s get on to today’s questions, shall we?
