Alakazooom is dying of the Plague, so our friend Whisp joins us to talk about the aftermath of the v44 patch.  We give our opinions of the UI and what we like and dislike about it.  After offering some opinions on how we would change the UI and what we would keep the same, we talk about the hero reworks and general balance of the patch.  In particular, we talk about Gideon, his ult, and the need for real cleanse cards.  Sorry about releasing this episode late, Alakazooom has been sick and editing has been a struggle.If you like what you heard, or have suggestions for future topics or for how to improve the podcast?  We would love to hear from you!  Send us an email at [email protected], tweet at us @CrashBangBoomPC, or write us a review on iTunes!  If you want to stay current with the podcast and hear about new episodes as soon as they are released, follow us on twitter, subscribe to us on iTunes, or follow us at crashbangboom.podbean.com.  Thanks for your support!

v.44 really snuck up on us, but the update is here and it is HUGE!  We talk UI changes, reworks, jungle changes, and general balance as we run through the huge changes in v.44.  We are a little skeptical about the minion execute change, but otherwise we are HYPED!  Gideon throws more rocks, twinblast shoots more bullets, junglers get more buffs, and everyone gets a more meaningful objective.  Hooray for more stuff!If you like what you heard, or have suggestions for future topics or for how to improve the podcast?  We would love to hear from you!  Send us an email at [email protected], tweet at us @CrashBangBoomPC, or write us a review on iTunes!  If you want to stay current with the podcast and hear about new episodes as soon as they are released, follow us on twitter, subscribe to us on iTunes, or follow us at crashbangboom.podbean.com.  Thanks for your support!

Last week we were setting the wave to slow push.  Now it's hitting the tower.Sorry about missing last week!  We had a hard time coordinating schedules, but this week we are back with another juicy one.  There are a plethora of hero reworks coming in v.44, and we begin the episode by talking about two of them: Gideon and Grux!  After we talk reworks, Alakazooom gives a crash course on lane control.  We talk about setting waves, freezing, and pushing, and what the benefits and drawbacks are to each.  This week has a much more educational feel, so we hope that you learn something new.  Let us know what you think about these more in depth educational episodes!If you like what you heard, or have suggestions for future topics or for how to improve the podcast?  We would love to hear from you!  Send us an email at [email protected], tweet at us @CrashBangBoomPC, or write us a review on iTunes!  If you want to stay current with the podcast and hear about new episodes as soon as they are released, follow us on twitter, subscribe to us on iTunes, or follow us at crashbangboom.podbean.com.  Thanks for your support!

With v43.3 comes the end of the tank meta...hopefully!  This week Alakazooom and Mutedinlife are back to talk about Shadow's Eve and the changes in v43.3.  Tanks got nerfed, carries got buffed (sort of), and general balance and variety is the best it's been since v42!  Tune in as we talk about all the patch notes and how these changes will affect the meta!

This week is a little different than most.  After a brief talk about last week's community corner and the balancing of Unstable Cyborg, Alakazooom and Mutedinlife decide to have a little fun.  After the serious business is over, we quiz each other on all things Paragon.  Cards, character abilities, and even some lore.  It's all fair game as long as it's Paragon related.  Also, we bring back storytime with Mutedinlife.  This episode doesn't have the analysis that we usually do, but we replaced that with a lot more fun.If you like what you heard, or have suggestions for future topics or for how to improve the podcast?  We would love to hear from you!  Send us an email at [email protected], tweet at us @CrashBangBoomPC, or write us a review on iTunes!  If you want to stay current with the podcast and hear about new episodes as soon as they are released, follow us on twitter, subscribe to us on iTunes, or follow us at crashbangboom.podbean.com.  Thanks for your support!

This week we are talking tanks!  Alakazooom and Mutedinlife give their thoughts and opinions of the tank meta, and we go into some analysis about why the meta exists and why it probably won't change until we see balance changes.  We talk about the history of the meta since v.42, how the tank meta came to be, and why it is so strong.  Popular builds are highlighted, cards are compared, and some ranting is done.If you like what you heard, or have suggestions for future topics or for how to improve the podcast?  We would love to hear from you!  Send us an email at [email protected], tweet at us @CrashBangBoomPC, or write us a review on iTunes!  If you want to stay current with the podcast and hear about new episodes as soon as they are released, follow us on twitter, subscribe to us on iTunes, or follow us at crashbangboom.podbean.com.  Thanks for your support!

Visual update hyyypppeeeee!!!  This week, Alakazooom and Mutedinlife talk about the changes incoming in V43.  In addition to the visual update, there are tons of balance changes for heroes and cards, as well as changes to OP and the jungle.  We go down the list one change at a time and talk about how these changes will affect things moving forward in V43.

New this week: VODcasts!  Starting with this episode (although next week's version will be much cleaner), we are recording video for all of our podcasts and posting them on youtube.  This will not be replacing the podcast, but we wanted to give our listeners another way to tune in if they prefer videos.  However, our focus is still the audio of the podcast, so you won't be missing out if you don't want to watch the VODcast.  For now, videos will be posted on www.youtube.come/Alakazooom.If you like what you heard, or have suggestions on future topics or how to improve the podcast?  We would love to hear from you!  Send us an email at [email protected], tweet at us @CrashBangBoomPC, or write us a review on iTunes!  If you want to stay current with the podcast and hear about new episodes as soon as they are released, follow us on twitter and subscribe to us on iTunes.  Thanks for your support!

This week, Muted talks about areas in which Paragon still has lots of room for improvement.  We talk about the problems with carries, towers, the jungle, and neutral objectives.  For each, we offer a range of solutions.If you like what you heard, or have suggestions on future topics or how to improve the podcast?  We would love to hear from you!  Send us an email at [email protected], tweet at us @CrashBangBoomPC, or write us a review on iTunes!  If you want to stay current with the podcast and hear about new episodes as soon as they are released, follow us on twitter and subscribe to us on iTunes.  Thanks for your support!

This week, Alakazooom and Mutedinlife break down the effects of the 42.3 patch.  Kwang is still unkillable, Wraith is still bad, and Gideon isn't any better either (told you so).  We talk a little bit about how the meta is/isn't changing, which heroes and cards we think you should be playing, and what changes we suggest to bring certain heroes and cards into a more balanced state.  Alakazooom talks about Super Smash Bros., and we give a moment of silence for the death of Revenant.  All this, and more, in this week's episode!Alakazooom was travelling for most of the past week, so this episode is a little bit less organized than usual.  Now that he is in his new place, our audio recording setup is a bit different, so please bear with us as we try to perfect the new system.
