Episode 26, a half a year into the podcast! This episode, Nick and Josiah keep it light before the 3.5 news next week by tierlisting which characters they hate seeing on the enemy team. There's also some news, Armed & Dangerous, and the long awaited return of the Hero Spotlight, featuring Jefferey the First of His Name of the Former Staten Island the Land Shark. And of course, a Reddit Take of the Week to wrap it up.
