After giving us such a shitty indev (only prob and ranked mount), I hope on Monday they will show something BIG! Especially because dark souls 3 will come as well :) I'm also wondering when we will hear about what happenes on the illuminati meeting on march 28 where all the streamers and hots famous people go.

Sky Temple has boss comeback mechanic and phases when 2 temples spawn letting the behind team get some shots in. Also big enough map that you can push opposite lanes from the temple if you are down levels.

BHB has nothing like that. There's 0 comeback mechanics and again it's a lot more strict on your comp.

I dont really like the core design philosophy of HotS but i do like the very unique heroes its spawned.

Are chogall/abathur/murky/whoever else im missing fun enough to warrant an install?

>>172091271
you're already missing out just by not playing Tassadar

>>172091271

yes

>>172091271

The core design of the game is actually quite interesting. Other assfaggot games focus on micro play, whereas HOTS is all about the macro play. You don't have an hour to make up for bad play with farm, so it's all about how you perform with your team. Different but good IMO.

New heroes every month is reason enough to pop in every now and again.

>>172097071
Winning.

And the mmr of those you're playing with/against.

That's it.

You could go 0-39 on Leoric in a match and still get those same 200 points. Actually winning is all that matters.

Higher level cap when?
I get it, they don't want to give out free Gold, but it would be neat if we had a better indicator of how long a person has been playing.

>>172097071
>>172097142
Oh, and your hidden MMR relative to those you're playing with/against. Influences those little gains, as I recall.

Like, when you get 214 for a win.

Isn't the revamped leveling system going to essentially be handing us more gold? Which likely means the Loot system is going to be something to help combat how freely they're giving away gold now. So I expect a bunch of more cash shop shit.

Alright, i finally grinded up to 10k. About to buy my first hero. I really enjoy tanks, are there any tanks that i should avoid?

Was thinking about buying leoric and that one dinosaur zerg guy.

>>172097253
>>172097142
So if I'm playing against players who are ranked the same as me or lower

And we absolutely demolish them...

Should I not be boosted ahead more as we are clearly better?

>>172097391
Leoric is not really a tank

Dehaka is a love or hate kind of thing to be honest. Any other tanks you are interested in?

>>172097391
Don't buy Leoric. He's not really in the best place atm.

What warriors do you currently own?

>>172097485

Leoric is fine on Braxis and Spider map.

>>172097962
He's buying his first hero. You're going to recommend someone "fine" on two maps?

>>172098058

Sure.

>>172097391
I would say Diablo or Muradin, if you didn't already get him from the training mode.
Arthas is also fun and he has received buffs recently that have made him really strong

>>172097398
Ehh, sort of.

I don't know if anything has been changed recently but as of now it seems the game seems to think you're at your appropriate skill level, thus the lack of rank adjustment.

If you win, say, seven games in a row your MMR might be high relative to your rank, and as such you'll (probably) get more ranked points.

Good hunting.

What about stitches?

>>172098387
Stitches can be get some solid picks if you can actual land your hooks
If you can't then you're really useless.
If you'd like to blow 10k I'd suggest Varian. He's not really good until level 10 and then he gets a huge power spike

>>172098348
Agreed.

>>172097391
If it's really between the two I'd go with Dehaka.

Depends on your goals, though, and if you love Leoric then by all means go for it.

>>172098387
>Stitches
His fellow still has his problems. I'd recommend against unless you really want to play the hook/grab hero.

>literally just a ball of health if you can't hit hooks

And if you do hit one he's reliant on teammates to follow up, unless you take Gorge, which...was always a bit questionable.

Which you should be familiar with using. Not the weirdest of skillshots, but definitely possible to miss entirely. Spam in Try Mode, or something.

Would you say she's one of those characters who is particularly good/bad in specific maps?
If so, which maps would those be?

Minions are so tiny.
I know that Heroes are supposed to look the part but this is ridiculous, it's like they are 1 meter tall humans.

Who will the next hero? I hope we will get a super tanky warrior like stitches. Because i am tired of playing just stitches and diablo all the time and other warriors are shit

No, I think she's just a pretty solid/safe pick overall.

Again, be mindful of your rather lengthy cooldowns. No sense in lobbing that Blizzard/cone out there to tickle Diablo only to have the enemy team immediately collapse on you.

Then just be careful because she's fragile.

probably from Diablo lore.
The "leaks" were about cain, malthael and recently rumours were about the amazon, but they talked about aidan/dark wanderer
In axolotlt leak there was only baal and some shitty D3 character (imperius, ghom, cydae iirc)

It seems they are pissed of about the leaked list and release heroes that aren't there, so we have a chance of getting mephisto or playable heroes from D2


my bet is on baal. or pic related

I love playing nova but i hate how she has no escape at all. After i blow my load, if the enemy has anything ranged i'm pretty much fucked

>>>172116764

It would be hilarious if a huge company like that was so incredibly immature and childish
And why does it even matter if people know the leaked list? it hurts nothing

Zerathul on the other hand is fun to play but i just hate his design and backstory... it's just garbage and he looks like shit... i wish he could swap abilities with nova

>>172116994
It would ruin the surprise, and people might complain about the list and stop playing the game if they see some heroes they want not coming soon enough

>>172116764

I never understood the purpose of this stupid skill. Why not just give him stasis like almost every other hero does? feigh death IS stasis, so why make it different like that?
What they should do is that when feign death is uses the enemy team gets DING and actually think they killed you, that would be coo

>When you hover Rehgar and your team picks/bans for the perfect Bloodlust comp.

>>172123530
It's a callback to WoW.
Feign Death was mostly a PvE skill since, unless your meme game was extremely good, no rational player would ever think your health dropped from 20% to 0.
It's a renamed skill like half the heroes have as well.
His Intimidating presence also has a different name and works on bear, making it even easier to get more use out of it.

It was okayish when he came out but with those recent talent changes he's tanky enough to not need a skill dodge, unless you're finding that chromie really pesky.

I love chromie but she is so useless. If you arent playing with a team on skype you will never land any hits because all her skillshots are pure lottery

>>172140832

there is a simple pottery in lottery

>>172138597
To be fair, her and arthas are in the exact same positions, doing exactly the same thing.

The problem being, their team has sustained damage against a tank meant to tank burst, and you're fighting a tank that's decent against both damage and burst.

Both their builds suck though, so maybe everyone just sucks.

Blizard dev here, what do you think about this new hero idea:

I'd like Spoc-Oc, his Ulimates would have been more engaging, too, with Solar Lance and Chrono Wave.
What I'm most sad about is that Probius is some burst mage for some reason. He has two abilities that solely work for damage, 80% of his talents are for dealing damage with them and there's no way to actually play him as a builder.

She's broken good if you can land your skillshots consistently, if your team can set up kills for you and especially if half their team is super squishy.
Bonus points against Vikings or Murky.

I keep spamming her giant discs and they don't really seem like they're attempting to avoid them.

>>172153587
>Li-Ming is easy

>>172154556

Li-Ming is a low rank pubstomper because no one can dodge or predict.

>>172154556
Are you the league guy who asked about hots earlier? How shit is LoL now compared to S3?

>>172154556
She fits into most comps, but don't draft her into 2+ tanks or especially resilient other heroes, don't draft her into anti-mages like Anub, Stitches and now Tyrael I guess, don't draft her if you already have another mage and you should be good.

You can always just fuck around in QM to get better at hitting her stuff. It's crucial to be consistent with her, she doesn't have the damage output of Chromie where just hitting 1/3 is enough to send people running for their fountain.

He would have, but for some reason they said "let's bring in a builder from starcraft, but NOT make him a builder because we want that to be Gazlowe's thing and want no overlap."

By that logic shouldn't they also only have one stealth hero?

I mean for fuck's sake, Gazlowe is a builder, but he can just set up anywhere relatively instantly.
With a Probe you could have had a builder who needs to take time to set up (so he can set up around his Pylons) but either have harder to remove buildings (possibly without timers) or more damage due to the fact he shouldn't be able to just instantly deploy anywhere.

Basically my stuff was downdootered into oblivion.

So, looks like fresh accounts simply start in Diamond until further notice.

I guess this is why they made the better mount require Master.

Is this the true power of the new QM matchmaker?

>>172160163
>all assassin five clown fiesta etc

I'm actually not seeing the issue.

>their assassins fuck our assassins

Counters aren't really something that can be taken into account.

ugh

But last pick Illidan should be the only Illidan pick at all. First pick Illi is fucking terrible.

Unless you're telling me he SHOULD have picked a tank or support.

I have a 60% winrate in over 800 games. Pretty much exclusively QM/Ranked, only very few AI games in case I quickly need to finish a quest before my slots are full.
I'm only Silver.
I'm not sure whether I'm consistently getting carried in QM, which shouldn't happen over such a large amount of games, or my HL/TL teammates just all fucking suck.
What I suspect as the biggest offender is terrible matchmaking. Kinda wish I hadn't invested as heavily in skins on this account as I did, but oh well.

The good thing is that I can unironically try to go for bronze without fucking up too many games, that's something. Wish the portraits didn't have the year date at the bottom though.

>5/5 of enemy team has spell shield

Just sayin'.

FEELS FUCKING BAD MAN

can i get any of the non-master skins in any way other than spending real moneys?

>>172160473
Yeah, it sucks. This isn't something that can really be factored into matchmaking, though.

>>172160559
whew
if only dodges weren't six hundred fucking points, eh

>>172160473
Uh, that's not all that important compared to

By converting WoW gold into battle.net currency. That's it, at least right now.

Might see loot crates or something resembling the hextech crafting system in the future. Hopefully. One of these years.

tfw no gifting

That's why 3 queue HL is best.

The other two seem to fuck around?
Take turns dodging. It averages 200 lost rank for 3 dodged games for the 3 people, but saves the time of 3 games.

Anyone managing to make Abathur works in QM at master levels?
Can't seem to have any impact on games and just giving free MMR

>>172161378
>Picking Abathur when Braxis Holdout and Warhead Junction exist

i swear to god diamond 1 is the worst
they are either afk or total morons. I'm never going to rank up.

>>172160884

>>172160884

Then you're out of luck.

even if you're better off never having gotten into WoW

>>172162368
A while ago, actually. A token can now be redeemed for either 30 days play time or $15 battle.net currency.

>>172160913
Maybe three weeks?
Were you not in any Blizzard game general at all?

You can convert a 20 dollar/25k gold token into either 30 days WoW subscription time, or 15 blizz dollaridoos to spend on shit.

>>172162486
oh i didnt know that. thanks man

>Token is 95,000 on NA

Whew.

I decided against buying a ton when they were 60k each because reasons.
