Usually when I own most of a bundle, the remaining skins still cost a fuckton.

This time around, I got two different partial bundles for cheap:

- Rexxar + Tyrael + 30 day stim pack: $3.14
- Lili + 7 day stim pack: $0.62

Hope Blizz does more of these. $5 for a 10k gold hero on sale is still something I don't always do. Medic is on sale for $5 right now but I won't be buying it.

I currently don't own 9 heroes. The bold ones are the ones I really want to get still:
- samuro
- zarya
- alarak (sort of want this but it's really niche and hard to run in random team ladder)
- dehaka
- xul
- lunara
- artanis
- lt. morales
- murky

alarak is actually quite good but you need to be at least half decent mechanically to take advantage of his kit. I've got a friend who for whatever reason can only play alarak well. He went from d1 to GM top 100 playing nothing but Alarak every game.

I can play Alarak well, but with a poor team he's at a disadvantage.

He enhances any team, but he can't 1v1 things like Thrall... so with a bad team, he gets ditched by idiot allies and dies (since he's supposed to keep opponents on the run while pulling them).

It's hard to say but I have seen Alarak both win and lose vs Thrall in solo lanes. Not sure who is 'supposed' to win though tbh and I have only played him a couple times so I don't really have much personal experience with him.

Not so much about solo lanes where you have leeway to keep distance for desired lengths of time. More about objectives (ex. Towers of Doom and your allies are idiots and you are trying to fend off a Thrall at a tower position).

Artanis is fun to play, he's more like anew assassin than a warrior imo. I finish with top dps most of the time.
