Heroes of the storm General - /hotsg/

Why does this game run like poop
I have a GTX 980 and even put my graphics below what it recommends for each option and it still lags a lot
Is it cpu heavy or something?

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

Any tips on the Artanis bruiser build? I used for a couple games and thought it was kinda fun.

>>143614446
It's a lockstep game. The shortcomings of the network model of the game restricts the client from having a constant 60 frames to each player. It's definitely not your setup.

google 'heroes of the storm lockstep' for more details.

How it is possible that people on rank 12 (out of 50) play so horrible and dont know even the basics of the game?

>loading into qm as azmodan
>enemy has no healer
I see blizzard still gives no shits about qm

I actually think it would be incredibly effective to premade as a no healer poke comp in qm. Probably would get about a 90% win rate

This thread is undead.

>>143627824
I'm rank 1 and have games where I play like shit. Wish I could tell you why, but I'm honestly not sure. It just happens from time to time I guess.

>>143627853
If you queue as a 5-stack, the matchmaking ignores every support/warrior/aba rule and just looks for a different 4-5 people team.

But I guess you could 3-stack as all pokers, odds are high than you'll end up without support and so will enemy team.

Is this fel goat thing going to be retroactive?

>>143631016
what video game company do you know of that would do that?

>>143631486
you're mom company

how does hero gold pricing work? like lili is at 2k while artanis is at 10k. Is there a chance that lili's price will go up?

So I have to have a minimum of 7 heroes on free and another 7 to have purchased in order to HL?

>>143635695
all at level 5*

If so, that's fucking awful. I don't want to spend $20+ in order to compete in an f2p game.

>>143635695
I think you need to own and reach lev 5 on all the 14 heroes, then you can also use the free ones but that's a plus

also dont go into hl if you are still learning or you are gonna make people mad at you

>>143635979
stop whining, once you reach the level 40 you have enough ingame cash to buy many of the heroes in the meta

also almost all the 2k ones are breddy gud, get them

>>143636260
All from QM? Level 40? eugh..

>>143630910
The first part is true about ignoring the team set up.

I was with two russian cyka duos, me only support, a retarded stitches, and a Li-Ming who admitted she has no idea how to play

vs.

Two frontline, two support, one mage dream team on infernal shrine. Fucking kill me.

>>143614323
>tracer asks if my tass knows how to shield
>doing more siege and player dmg than her as tass
>shields are for me
>"How did I get higher damage than you, Tracer?"
>YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY SUPPORT YOU'RE TERRIBLE
>lol
>you were ignored

Well okay

>>143636871
tracer should be in the thick of things more often, and shields are 50% larger on other players

you're fucking shit

>>143637038
except she was 20k below me

>>143636871
also, your meaningless poke damage accomplishes nearly nothing. trying to compare tracer's wave clear (which is non-existent) to tassadar's (one of the best in the game) is ridiculous

i have a feeling you're below rank 20, am i correct?

>>143637086
so, are you stupid enough to believe your psionic storm is what is going to secure kills? or your auto attack?

>>143636871
>the average Tassadar player

>>143637086
she was probably 20k below you because you were shielding yourself while she managed what little amount of poke she could do before having to leave and hearth out to heal

Quick question:

Is the gold you get from the Team League rewards separate from the main one? Because I'm already rank 1 on normal league, I didn't pay attention to the TL rewards; I just saw there is a ton of gold to get, and now I may rush though it with random teams. Rank 10 should be easy.

>>143633057
gold prices only decrease
new heroes cost 15k on release and drop to 10k after two weeks
other than that it's pretty arbitrary when and who drops in price but it's always in the order 10k - 7k - 4k -2k

What am I missing that people unironically ban Kael'thas over Li-Ming? Kael has no mobility, he's so fucking easy to punish and a lot of damage is in his auto attack talent from my experience
Li-Ming is long range cancer WITH mobility and a long ass piercing 40% slow with a 0 second cooldown

>>143646345
Didn't Jaina and Johanna drop from 10 to 4k without ever being 7k.

>>143640912
impactful.

>>143646157
You get the rewards once for your highest ranks. You don't get double.

1HL + 1Tl gets you the same as 1HL + 10TL

>>143646434
also nazeebo did drop to 4k from 10k

don't dislike that but think that makes it too easy for her and single handedly wastes dive heroics that are supposed to be part of the game. maybe something like winter's reach to keep people off her in general instead.

I want to make a list of how Blizzard babies its playerbase in all of their games, feel free to add to it:


SC2
1. can't see losses below Masters
2. no race/map statistics

HEARTHSTONE
1. No chat at all
2. Removed the Sorry emote
3. No win rate/ class wr
4. You can squelch your opponent to prevent being vexxed by one of the 6 horrible emotes

HOTS
1. No All Chat
2. No mmr
3. No win rate
4. Can mute chat and pings
5. Easy to report if someone hurts your feelings

OVERWATCH
1. Can't see where you are on the leaderboard unless youre 1st 2nd or 3rd
2. Can't see other players' k/d/a

I want Johanna and Sonya to corner me and once and for all decide who is better. i want them both to pull out their cocks, each as fine as the other, Sonya's slightly longer, and Johanna's a little thicker. they both sag from their weight between their owner's thighs. Both take their cocks in their hands and begin to stroke them as i lean in and smell their musk. its so strong i feel myself start to get hard. then i reach out and take them both in my hands. so hard and hot, pulsing with excitement. i take Sonya in my mouth first, tasting her salty pre as I lick around her head and tease her tip. Sonya gets ahead of herself and grabs my skull, trying to thrust in. I gag and pull her out, trails of saliva connecting us. i turn to Johanna and kiss her uncut cock, slipping my tongue under her foreskin to rub her head. I peel it back and start bobbing my head as I come to full erection, beginning to stroke myself. i deepthroat Johanna and swallow when she is lodged in my throat, massaging her cock. I grab her balls while I do this and make her go on her tip toes in tense pleasure. i pull her cock out with a slutty "ahh" and go back to Sonya, her cock is bright red and pounding hard full of blood. She is so horny it looks like she is about to pop. I grab her sack and push her dick into my mouth. My free hand goes between her legs to her tight asshole and I slip a finger inside. i press down hard and tug her balls as I suck as hard as i can. I feel thick strands of saly jizz spray down my throat. I let her go and she staggers back. wasting no time i switch to Johanna, her member still engorged. i start to rapidly jerk her saliva covered cock off while sucking her nuts into my mouth, swirling them around with my tongue until she also succumbs and shoots thick goo into the air so it can shower down on me.

after both have recovered they ask me who is better, who wins the contest.

I only respond by turning around, offering my ass and saying there needs to be another round

I had the jankiest team the other day. Double support on both sides so damage is at a low. Their Tassadar and Rehgar were butt buddies or something because they were always together and kept trying to double team me, which never worked, because they don't have damage. I killed their Arthas two or three times in a row when he tried to take the upper shrine from me. His one kill came from when he got the last hit on me after Raynor wore me down.

>>143659225
pls uninstall, you're one of those toxic 12 year olds who blame their team for everything that goes wrong, did mommy never teach you that losing is part of life and you can't win 100% of the time? maybe you should stick to singleplayer games?

look at my screenshot, dumb subhuman shit faggot. this happens in about 90% of the games i play every day, on either side, but recenty mostly on mine. hope your mom gets raped by turks to a slow and gruesome death as you are forced to watch it before they switch over to u and the rest of ur family of biological trash. i truly hope that, u deserve it for your extreme stupidity, your status as a subhuman, the mere fact that you are some "anti-toxicity" preaching piece of shit should be punished with extremely agonizing torture and eventually death

>>143657015
maybe at 15%. 25% now i think is right on the edge for soloing camps so that seems like too much with any damage increases. there's also ice bolt builds and auto attackers to consider since she could end up like mini chen to them. would be interesting at least.

In low level games, yes, because people are too clueless too press an advantage or know when to finish the game.
The average game length difference between bronze and master is like 2 minutes on every map which is pretty huge.

>>143680787
I only play QM so I don't really understand drafting yet. I know you ideally want a balanced mixture of ranged and melees dps, stuns and burst, strong frontline and a support. Talents can pick up the slack.
That comp has 2 tanks, 1 support, 1 melee burst and 1 ranged burst (or are they sustain idk)
It looks good to me, but I don't much about the nuances of this game yet.

>>143681256
It depends on what his team was fighting, but zera and Lili might have not fit in that team comp. Artanis too if they were up against a lot of stuns

>>143681256
lili is a shit sup
zera is a subpar melee (and didnt pick vp)
artanis is mediocre and didnt the team at all

>>143682303
I see, can you explain why?

>>143678586
>Alt-tabbing during draft
You are as guilty as your team

>>143682752
I don't know how Lili performs in top ranked matches from experience, but I listen to a hots podcast, one of the casters is rank 1 and both of them sing Lili's praises. If she's bad, she isn't considered universally bad by everyone.
Same goes for Jaina

>>143683061
I am very obviously not. I'm at a rating where I can expect people to not need their hands held every step of the game.

>>143682764
Lili is weak against burst damage, her heals arent enough. She's okay against sustain damage and auto attackers though

Zera is a weak team fighter and is better for picking off people and harassing. Void Prison is a must. He needs a decent amount of CC from his team to shine

Artanis is just simply weak to stuns. Also, if he goes tank build he needs the rest of his team to output more damage to make up for it

When draft you have to take into account the heroes on the opposing team as well as the synergy of the heroes on your own team

>>143684891
>people should play the game the right way aways
They don't though, otherwise it wouldn't be a game. bum be dum dum

you won't believe the shit I've seen in the last 3 hours. no matter who I queue as, I get teams of literal mongs who demand the impossible and piss on you for doing the things your hero is supposed to be doing (pushing lane as Nazeebo, rooting targets for Nova/Tychus as Xul, root and dive a squishy as Butcher etc.). fuck this shit. at least it's not Ranked so all these shitters were whining about literally nothing at all.

>>143686140
What really helps, especially for drafting, is watching pro teams during tournament play. It becomes really interesting when it's US vs. Korea vs. Europe vs. China. Each region has their own meta and strategy. You'll eventually be able to predict the last 2-3 heroes of a draft based on who fits and what the overall team strategy is going for.

Also pro streams are very helpful for learning how to play heroes better. Bakery from Dignitas basically taught me how to play Kharazim.

idk what I do wrong when I play Jaina. I stay alive, chain my abilities and shit but I'm still nowehere near the top damage indicators. Most of the time actually I'm the bottom one.
Anyone has any tips?

>"why didnt you tank boss butcher???"
>when enemy team was just getting in position to gank us there

gee I dunno

>>143688457
Jaina will usually have the lowest damage, even when she was played in competitive a few months ago (no longer because she is bad now) she wouldn't be close to the top. It has to do with her having the lowest burst of the mages, shortest range and longest CDs. Jaina should never be topping damage, she is more there to secure kills.

>>143688457
>>143673763

>>143686140
Getting every hero to 5 is extremely helpful. You should play everyone so you can know what every hero, both your teammates and the opposing team, is capable of at any given time

>>143688419
I love watching tournaments

>>143688735

Really? Because sometimes I play with other Jainas and they have higher damage than other assassins on the team
>>143688753
Will try that,thanks

>>143689895
Seriously focus on frostbolt. It's reliable and safe and with talents you help its mediocre output a bit.

Everyone thinks that because Jaina doesn't have a place in the best comps in the world that she is a bad hero, and she is not. Li Ming is better in every way, but if people give you hell for picking Jaina, tell them to go fly a kite.

>>143688996
Hots has 3 Global (international play) Championships per year, Spring, Summer, Winter. The Summer tournament starts June 13

Then there's also regional tournaments and qualifiers. China and Korea has League play so they're on basically every weekend.

US, Europe, Oceania, Taiwan, SE Asia, and Latin America all do regional qualifiers which is about one weekend per month per region.

Between all the regions there's usually something to watch on a weekly basis. There's a Latin America hue regional going on this weekend, but I'm not watching that crap

>>143690456
Is any of that shit even in English?

>>143690334

Jaina is one of the worst heroes in the game for mid range MMR+ HL as well, it's not just in competitive. She is okay at stomping shitter though, but then so are more heroes.

>>143690596
If Kael and Li Ming are banned or taken, Jaina is perfectly viable substitute

>>143691051

doing hl recently the only games I really lost have been with a jaina. i don't see her picked that often but when she is picked seems like really bad luck for that team

How to fix Jaina:
>Move Frost Armor to level 1
>Blizzard radius talent made baseline
>Stormfront moved to level 4
>Ice Block moved to level 7
>Triple the health of Water Elemental
>Ice Barrier lasts 5 seconds instead of 3

>>143690587
US, Europe, and Oceania are

China and Korea frequently have English streamers doing a simulcast because they're very good and many people want to watch

basically if the region is very good or it's a big tournament, someone will cast it in English

also you don't need to speak Spanish to see that Latin America is not very good compared to the other regions

>>143691832
>How to break Jaina:

>>143691051
No she isn't, she is bad even when the other mages are banned out. Pretty much any other assassin or specialist would be better no reason to ever take Jaina as she is now even if the other mages are not available.

>>143717441
I don't believe there is a talent that you pick every time no matter what hero. But Regen Master, Conjurer's Pursuit are pretty often picked if available. Other generics like Cleanse too, I guess. Ignore Pain or Hardened Shield or Shell or whatever. Storm Shield.

Yeah she would be pretty good then, but her slow was only 35% with the talent, they nerfed the talent to only give 5% now it's unpickable. She definitely would be better if they unnerfed her, losing bolt definitely crippled her beyond belief though. Lowest burst, shortest range, longest CDs, doesn't even have the best slow of the mages 25% makes it the worst slow.

She just has so many negatives to bring her over any other hero.

would help some in no healer QM but not a whole lot elsewhere. has such limited practical use otherwise it seems like it'd be changed to some kind of ability damage reduction to be competitive with frostbitten.

her slow is permanent for anyone in frostbolt range, AA range, or elemental range. 40% would be absurd or spawn even more mobility creep.

she would be phenomenal without any damage reductions.
