Anyone else feels like anub just got some QoL buffs instead of a proper rework? even if they claim it was one, i've seen heroes that just got "buffed" that had more depth than a "rework".
Sure he's overall better but i'm gonna be sad if they don't touch him again in the future

So if the Axolotl leak is to be believed, we're getting Samurao, Gul'dan, Varian, and Auriel after Medivh. That leaves us at least two more heroes for 2016, assuming a 28 day interval. Who will they be?

That's why team league is a thing, you can actually depend on other people you actually now.
But to be fair, if you spam HL when you're sitting in rank 1, you tend to encounter the same people more often, so you can kinda know if they're willing to be in the same page as you.

I don't understand thia game. I get 102k hero dmg. The top player for hero dmg on the other team has 37k. Guess who wins? Not my team. How much do i need to carry my team to be able to win this shit? This is why i always say rank doesn't reflect personal skill...

The only thing they need to touch are a rework of his trait to work as if it had legion of beetles base and add talents to make a spike build, otherwise Anub is fine as a bruiser that goes deep to get kinky with the squishies. Shit he can even solo tank with a good team and other divers, he may lack health but bitch got stuns for days.

he might not get nerfed again but he will be obsolete some day like several of the old heroes

>>144592516
He was still playable after the beetle nerf, he just wasn't the completely busted rape machine he became when they fixed his beetle AI to not be retarded. Scaling was what did him in. Either way, it still has nothing to do with power creep.

Some people get nervous playing ranked, others get nervous simply playing against a real opponent. This way you just get to be bad and nobody can yell at you for it.

>>144594738

Being able to complete dailies in minutes, for one.

Showing a friend the ropes without worrying about pressure. Had a friend too nervous to even queue with other people, so we ended up playing Vs. AI with AI for a few dozen games.

I, personally, like how easy/relaxed they make it.

And some people just enjoy dooting around in the game, players or not.

Uh, no, I said "soft reset notwithstanding". Your MMR will be reduced when the season starts, and you'll have to play through placements again, which can mean a huge swing in MMR.
Still though, unless you completely screw up the placements, you're gonna be Gold at least.

so fucking pissed right now... will u believe me if i told u that the meme team almost won? i was laughing during draft, so i picked azmodan to troll around as well, but i knew for a fact i could lose this game because of dumb retards. i play this shit for 1 year and have won with meme teams cuz IDIOTs, SUBHUMAN RETARDS underestimate others and start playing worse than bots.

i stacked whole game basically depushed and put pressure lanes cuz my team dont help me, during a -4 team wipe successfully defended our core vs these memelords, but they were low hp, so they had to retreat.

their team is literally some shit straight from looney tunes

I had a dual queue in HL, who ended up picking Jaina and Morales. This wouldn't have been weird, but the entire time, Morales was bitching about one guy first picking Valla. But somehow Jaina is acceptable.

It was a really good and close game too. It honestly would've been great if people didn't bitch.

Bad. His Q is a great poke/peel/waveclear tool but ultimately his biggest utility is dumping dps from a mile away in a fight and things like seasoned marksman, focused attack, nexus frenzy, and exec are way better.

Building his w is actually useful though and I rarely see it. Getting overdrive and steel resolve mean you're permanently 20% faster and shoot faster because it costs no mana and there is no downtime for the cd. Giant killer is nice but I think most of the time resolve actually nets more damage for the team.

How to Lunara? She's level 7 but my winrate is 32% with her. Abysmal.
>>
>>144633660
When I say bad I don't mean "not fun" or "total shit" but it just isn't as optimal. The second charge is nice for that instance but if you go full q build you get cd reduction too so you're just throwing out pushbacks all the time which can push enemies to safety. Similar to how morales grenade build is fun and okay but you have to be careful about hindering your teams own efforts.

I've recently fallen in love with the permaspeed from resolve though. Gotta move quickly etc.

>>144634979
From watching lunaras play in HL matches I've gleaned that you're supposed to feed the enemy team and then point to your DoT inflated damage as an excuse.

But really:

1. play safe

2. Don't engage with less than 80% health

3. Get free spores on minions and long range from spores. Pop free spores on minions. Thow three long range aas on someone and pop spores for three more long range aas while throwing out some vines.

4. Congrats you just bursted someone from full health without getting in range.

Battlefield is her best map. Immortal poke is real. Unfortunately they don't count for the free spores on pve though.

Q - Shred Armor: short line skillshot that does damage and increases all damage taken by 30% for 6 seconds. 5 second cooldown and the debuff stacks
W - Heart Seeker: Throw a knife at an enemy hero, the knife damages and applies a DoT to all enemies it hits on the way to the target
E - Bleeding Hollow: summon 3 Bleeding Hollow warriors to hunt down the targeted enemy. One applies a snare and the other two apply a stacking bleed
trait - Vision of Death: Knowing he isn't destined to die in the Nexus reduces all damage Kilrogg takes by 50%
R1 - Fel Corruption: Kilrogg drinks the Blood of Mannoroth, increasing his damage and attack speed by 30%, his damage mitigation to 80%, causes Heart Seeker to summon blood orbs that heal Kilrogg, and Bleeding Hollow summons Hulking Terrors instead of uncorrupted orcs. lasts 15 seconds
R2 - Death Throes: Kilrogg enters a whirlwind, damaging all enemy heroes in a short area and launching projectiles that deal heavy damage towards all heroes that aren't hit by the whirlwind every 2 seconds. Lasts 10 seconds

W skillshot poison dot/slow n talented shit.. attacks spread it to other enemies

E PASSIVE EFFECT: when in bushes kilrogg vision radius increases, he detects cloaked heroes. can talent for hp regen, cooldown reduc, etc. when kilrogg leaves a bush his attacks deal more dmg (AMBUSH CHARACTER :D)

Not unlike Tassadar I imagine he'll be good in a structured/coordinated environment.

Might suck for qm/hl, though. Imagine dropping a portal, baiting your entire team into a mosh pit, or flame strike, just like medevac.

Or spending the whole game scouting because muh trait value.

Or laning because muh specialist.

Or building full damage and only ever shielding himself.

And so on.

The talent at level 1. Reduces cost/CD of your W whenever it's used to extend the duration on *only* minions.

So, cover minions up with aids, W, get the attack speed steroid, or range increase @ 16, and use it to plink away. Re-use W whenever the buff falls off.

I think, anyways.

Didn't this come out, like, an hour ago?

Alright, so I'm currently installing this game over the worst internet known to man so it'll only be another 12 hours until its done and I'm wondering which hero is best for me to play. I main Viktor, Kassadin, and Thresh in lol, recommendations?
>>
What's the best counter to epic backdoor qm comps. Often when playing casuals with my friends we'll bump into triple spec comps that just constantly throw themselves on the lanes. Inevitably it's on huge maps like cursed hollow. Not all of my friends are on top of it so I usually have to rotate for the kill and we always end up chasing some azo or sylvanas, killing them and then rotating to stop the naz in the top lane while murky judt trows himself against center.

Are you just supposed to rotate together and kill them one at a time? I hate that I can win every fight and still have all my forts grinded down.
>>
>>144650064
I recommend that you don't play this game with shitty internet, or you will be looking at the:
>Reconnecting. Game is 0:01 minutes ahead
screen, for most of your match.
>>
>>144650212
best strat is to move a few leagues up
>>
>>144650064
You should play the free heroes before buying some. They're organized by role.

You get in game money to buy heroes quick so buying some cheap heroes like muradin valla/raynor and lili/malf is not a bad idea. Once you bump into a good hero in free rotation you'll have enough gold to buy them.

For "most meta in role" Kael/ming (often banned) and raynor/valla for your "ad carry" reghar for support, muradin/etc/johanna for warrior and xul/zag/sylvanas for spec.

But desu most heroes are fairly viable. Kerrigan/gazlowe/nova/zeratul/tassadar/abathur are some of the more situational heroes to steer clear from early on and the last vikings are probably the highest skill floor.

doesn't help that every single time he tried to help or did any of the thing you mentioned, big brother malfurion came in and chastized him because he was the demons, a bad guy and will only bring misfortune and should gtfo while throatfucking tyrande with his tounge.

He had a hard life.

Both actually synergize eachtoher a whooping 100%. But tassadar is only strong if your team has another suppor or your team is auto attack heavy.
Artanis is really strong if they don't have shitton of burst or the enemy team is melee heavy, once artanis gets in a fight, you see it from start to end, or you die midway, there is no retreating for you, since your defensive abilities are granted by slashing niggers with your blades. Ever since they buffed him a bit he started weak but becomes a fucking god (wich made sense in a lore way, but the character was a drag rather than an actual hero) Into bein g good from the start to the end
>>
>>144652264
It was immediately after engagement. I would try to split the team with sunder and then get rid of him. Usually, he'd wolf a little bit away and then kill me when I go for him.
>>
>>144652875
At what level did this happen? shit like gathering storm at 16 can do massive damage if you stay too long on the shield range
>>
>>144651927
In no fucking way can rehgar 1v1 thrall unless you went for some garbage build. At level 16 your FT combos should take more than half his health while leaving you at full. And the fact that rehgar can't ancestral or cleanse himself means he's essentially fighting you with no ult while you still have sunder.
>>
>>144652707
Artanis's prism seems really good for getting out of engages (or starting them then committing 100%). Can you use it during the first half of your dash? If so that could make it pretty easy to catch people out.
>>
>>144653326
Nope, People have been asking for that for the longest time, i don't think they will do it.
>>
>>144650865>>144652143
Tass is more situational. No direct heals so you rely on comps that need less or are aa focused or have a second healer. Overall the harder of the two.

Arty is very fun. Part of it is playing as a zealot man, twin slash is super satisfying. He's pretty good especially when paired with another warrior. He falls into the bruiser class of semi tanky warriors that can dish out damage. He's not forgiving if you don't know how to pick your engages. No escape option means bad artys feed hard. He's also vulnerable to cc since his passive relies on constantly attacking.

Arty is free try him out. I always have fun playing him.

My build is the usual, well. Okay, I just checked , it apparently isn't the usual anymore. I take Grace of Air over FT. Now I know better.

>>
>>144654735
>the Sundering was the first thing I did

If you don't need sunder to initiate, don't open with it. You could use it to stun him out as he's running, or stall for time while your E comes back up, or (if he has something like rising storm) stun him to create space and wait out any period of time when he has higher DPS than you.

MMR hell exists in the sense that grinding your way up from rank 38 just takes a really fucking long time no matter what. Even if you post a 100% winrate it will still take like up to 2 weeks, and if you post a 60% winrate it could still take months.

It exists, in a way. Not in that everybody deserves to be rank 1 and should get there, but that grinding your way up there can be a long process.

Or stupidly easy because mmr is busted.

can you pick free rotation heroes in Ranked games now?
>>
>>144657975

It doesn't help if you start by playing a relatively unimpactful role, especially if you're significantly better than those you're playing against.

Can't make as many plays on Li-Li as Sonya, or Li-Ming/Kael'thas.

>>144659653


Yeah, anything currently available to play on the free rotation is usable in ranked provided you're at least level 5 on the Hero (which you can always AFK train, but I guess its something).

No more account level requirement for ranked, either!
>>
>>144659802
you can carry shitter ranks with sonya tho
aaaaaaauuuuuh
>>
>>144660158

Yeah, significantly more than with something like Li-Li, which is what I was trying to say. Play impactful stuff at low MMR.

why should it not be quick? do you not understand that it part of why the matchmaking is abysmal? people are hundreds of mmr underrated all the way up into masters because they can't gain fast enough. you need mmr to be up to the second not some petty ass grind because you had no clue your first hundred games.

Provided you don't end up ever getting bonus points, yeah, around that. 100 or so per win, 300 to rank up.

I'm probably an idiot for asking, but is there anything you could offer to assist in climbing from rank 5-10 to 1?

>>144665459
find a dedicated duo q partner, and pick combo heroes.

build synergy and make the game easy for the rest of your team.

use voice comms.

I played with a friend, we won 15 in a row to get top 200. but that was way back in the day.

Mechanics (camp timings, contesting, pulling back) come in time, if you know what you did wrong in a play, that's enough.

I'm South American and many people here are retarded and to add to it there's not a gaming "culture" that's big enough for people to tryhard more in games (so you'll end up getting mediocre players) so the ones who play games are either school kids (mostly f2p - the most retarded out of the bunch) or people who work, but they'll do it more casually. Also, on average the hardware that they use to run games is way inferior than all other regions. You will find the occasional good player but it's justified to say there's a lot of bad ones.

Had a lot of dumb fun and stuck around. Hoping things pick up a little with the season launch.

>>144694306


Eh, keep playing. If you think you're at an MMR below you I'd suggest trying a few higher impact heroes, if you aren't already playing them.

Probably won't climb as quickly to your appropriate mmr playing a support, or low-damage tank.

Oh and anything with infinite waveclear is one way to get through bronze. Like Xul. Lot of people can't deal with their waves constantly being shoved in.

Literally me.

>>144694460

Yeah, Morales was the quickest pickup after I realized my shallow healing pool. Went on to snag Rehgar. Only healer I played prior was Bw, and she often wasn't the best of picks.

No success on Rehgar, even though I feel like I'm doing most everything right. Maybe I just need more games played.

>It's 3 wins per rank so with 100% win rate that's 45 games
ok A, no it's not going to be 3 wins per rank every time. There's nothing more frustrating that kicking the shit out of the enemy team, thinking you're a gamegod, then getting like 35 points. B, I have shit to do and sometimes I can only play 2 or 3 games a day. That means 15 days with a fucking 100% winrate, which is compeltely fucking unrealistic, because idgaf who you are if you're playing on a low rank account you are NOT going to win all of the games. Like trust me, I've definitely thrown games myself sometimes, and yeah, it's possible a better player wouldn't have thrown that hard. But I've also had low rank games where falstad unironically took bribe at lvl 1. Not much you can do in that situation.

Getting a game where you actually feel confident in your team knowing what to do, and capable of covering your ass if you make a misplay, are EXCEEDINGLY rare at low ranks. You pretty much either carry your team, or you lose. I will legit tell you that in my entire HL experience I've only ever once actually been carried by someone else.

I know a girl who pre-purchased the $60 Overwatch just for the winston pet. Not quite on her level, but I do like pets. Mounts, too.

>because idgaf who you are if you're playing on a low rank account you are NOT going to win all of the games

I've actually seen this used as a selling point of Hots; emphasis on teammwork, and that one person can't "carry" a game. I didn't quite appreciate this until a friend let me spectate a game of him in League.

He went, like, 91-0 on Leblanc in the Bronze.

>>144695039

Oh, are we getting a PTR shortly? I hope so.

>>144694838

Really? Out of about 300 games between main/smurfs I've only ever seen 95-105 or so, spiking up to 300 with bonus points. Weird, maybe I need to play more.

Nice, dude. Just checked Reddit and apparently Medivh is playable. Wonder if we'll get a balance patch prior to the launch of Season 1.

>>144695226
>Really? Out of about 300 games between main/smurfs I've only ever seen 95-105
I mean yeah I've definitley seen that happen. I think it has something to do with MMR stabilization. I only have 1 acct, i have a lot of HL games played, still pretty low ranked, and i would say it depends but it sometimes can take 4 or 5 games to rank up, and sometimes a loss can undo like 3 wins worth.

I mean I think I'm a pretty good player who is probably at least a little better than my rank, and I definitley feel like I can play out of it, but the only problem is just that it's such a time commitment. And also at low ranks because you have to carry as hard as you do, like its not like I can spam a bunch of games, because I'll get tired and start losing, basically winding up yelling at my teammates for all the retarded shit they're doing in chat, because it's 2 AM and I don't have any more god teir Sonya carries left in me. So basically what that means is I'll play 3 games, win all three, then stop before I inevitably start playing sloppy just due to psychological exhaustion or whatever.

Yeah, it's 60-70 training matches or something without the Holiday/Stim bonuses. It's fire and forget, though. Just tab in, queue it up, tab back out. Was something to do in the background playing Garrisonvilleâ„¢ on my twenty five alts, which is something I also do in the background. Sort of.

But yeah, just queue a training match then come back to it after 15-20 minutes and repeat. There is an event on right now that offers a free 50% bonus to base experience gains.

People can't deal with something new. So they ban it to not loose a match. Same reason Tracer was banned EVERY SINGLE MATCH for a month after she released. Nowadays people grew used to her. Though my single-digit rank friend still bans her every chance he has, even when that means enemies get Kael. But he's just an autist that pretends Overwatch doesn't exist.

If that was true, chromie would have been banned all the time, which is not true. Pretending like tracer wasn't strong on release is just you being an idiot.
>>
>>144724691

tracer is also unfun to play against, same reason illidan is banned a lot. they are both pretty strong with a good team comp a good tracer or illidan absolutely wreck people, and you don't want to take the chance of one ruining your game
>>
Obviously Tracer was OP and Chromie was UP on release. But people were so buttblasted because of Tracer's OPness that they continued to first-ban her long after her nerfs and in situations when other bans would've been more validated.

To add onto this, I find it hilarious that they changed her because newer people struggled against her, then turned around and added Li-Ming and Tracer to the game, and fucking refuse to balance out KT so he isn't such a faceroll fuck.

These fucking devs, man. Poor Nova. And Kerrigan buffs are still nowhere to be seen. I miss Alpha, it felt much better balanced than this shitfest.

I also like how instead of simply forcing Warriors and Supports to each team at a 1:1 ratio in QM, they just add Unranked, wherein everyone will bitch at you for not picking a meta friendly comp even if it isn't Ranked, purely because it's generally going to be seen as practice for HL. QM is so fucked, and they wonder why their matchmaking blows because there aren't enough players to support a legit good matchmaking system, probably because they all leave so soon after playing QM, being their first impression of the game.

Fuck, I had a 'Jungle Illi' on BHB too.
Not that it's a bad thing to get coins, but he was so full of himself. Shitting on our teammates, most notably our Azmo. Note: Azmo was our team capt i.e: highest MMR but Illi felt like he was the shot caller with such great wisdom like "PUSH AZ! WTF!" even when Azmo had highest siege/exp plus a healthy collection of coins.
Is every Illi player an overbearing asshat who thinks he's the hottest shit?

^ is right. It's just QM, no ranks to worry about. It's just a game, games are for fun. Anyone getting mad in QM is a faggot and you can just click mute.
Sure, know the basics on how to play a hero, and build options before you go into a QM with them, but don't try to be THE BEST EVER. Just try to be a bit good at a hero before you go into HL with them.
You may be shocked how bad everyone is at this game. If you ever even play it with them....

>>144767732
You are both wrong and stupid.
Sure trash talk would be a larger concern, but more reports would likely happen too, and thus balance that. Most important for babies like you: YOU CAN MUTE THEM IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT
Sabotage? Like tell the enemy where you are setting up a gank? If some fag wants to throw, they can already do it, single handily. One more way to fuck over your own team is a very minor concern. You would also be able to see his 'sabotage' and thus, report.
What are you so scared of anon? Are you just a blizz cock sucker who gobbles down their shit and feels they can do no wrong?

Well, I should also say that other then early in the morning my ping is over 400. So unless I have the day off, or feel like playing in the shop after work, I really don't want to subject people to my lagging ass.

I have a few hundred QM games, and here in a few weeks I might consider doing draft games. The other thing keeping me away from the draft is that my cousin, who I frequently pay with is only decent with a handful of characters. get him on Falstad, Lunara, Brightwing, or ETC and he plays like a boss, otherwise he likes to siege to far forward with Hammer and then yell that his 'z' isn't going off as fast as it should.

I wouldn't care about ranks even if I played ranked. I have fun by achieving mastery, or more often trying hard and failing to achieve mastery. It's why right after graduating high school I spent a Summer only playing Burger Time with a friend of mine. The goal was to achieve Burger Time perfection before we moved away.

My small town is oversold on DSL. Unless it's during certain hours the entire town is shit with high latency and packet loss. It has improved greatly this year, I used to have 30% + packet loss after 8PM, but my latency is still crap most of the day. If I want to play with no lag I need to do it between 5AM and 8AM. If I want to play with marginal lag I need to do it before school lets out. If I want to play at all I need to do it before people settle down to stream Netflix or whatever in the late evening.

Or I can just play at work, where we have silly fast Internet.

Why not just play single player games? I wouldn't touch HoTS if I had a shit connection, I have a ton of other games to play thanks to this piece of shit game.

Trash talk is fun for some people. Trash talk isn't fun for other people. In either case, it does not help your team to win.

Chat exists to help strategize. The fact that you can currently socialize on it is a byproduct of its implementation. If you play this game as a means to socialize, you can play casually in custom games (where all chat is available). If you are playing a real game however, giving players (even those who do enjoy bantz and memes) the ability to chat with the enemy team will distract those players.

I'll admit I worded that statement poorly. I was saying that it would be distracting to your own team.

I don't want a teammate to chitchat with the enemy team not because I give a shit about their feelings, but because it is a waste of time and a distraction.

>>144777187
VS AI is good for training skill combo timing, but it breeds bad habits. Real players won't be that predictable.
>>
>>144776357
Ah yes, clearly any feature that adds fun to a small subset of people while hindering playing well is important for ranked play.

I don't want you to be able to type to the enemy team because you aren't playing or strategizing when you are doing that.
>>
>>144778817
If I'm competing at the top level, I'm going to have the team in voice chat.
And it only takes a few seconds to type the bants. Nowhere near enough time to take away from your precious "strategizing." Something that should hardly be necessary with good players.
>>
>>144777696
I think you are getting hidden ranking points in your placement matches and end up on whatever rank those put you on. How many points you get depends on the rank/mmr of everyone else in your game compared to yours

>>144779634
I don't know the numbers off-hand, but E>W>Q with gravity crush takes more than half a squishy's health bar. With sun king's fury your autos do the same amount as a tick of living bomb, so it's pretty much a guaranteed kill with phoenix.
>>
>>144779034
It isn't about competing at the top level. It is about competing at all. There is no need to add other means of entertainment to your HOTS game.

Look, I understand that typing to your enemy team a joke or two isn't going to lose you the game. But at the same time, neither would giving you the ability to play Pong while dead. Or being able to swap skins/mounts during a game. Or being able to play a little jingle at the push of a button.

There are loads of features that could be added that would be fun for some people, but are nothing but a distraction for people who only care about the game. It makes sense in custom games, which you are playing solely for shits and giggles.

But even in QM, you want to encourage people to play seriously and focus on the game rather than chit chatting.

Any given game is as "competitive" as you want it to be, it simply being a PvP game does not mean it is. Even in the case that it is, social interactions not directly tied to the game itself is still nothing but fluff and irrelevant.
>>
>>144780226

Not always. It depends on individuals involved, and their mindset.
>>
>>144780226
Some people just believe that if you are going to play a game with other people you should respect those people and play seriously. If you are playing baseball and the coach sees you waving to girls in the stands then he should pull you out of the field and box your little ears in.

It's disrespectful.
>>
>>144772489
imagine being so fucking retarded that you cant handle someone typing at you on the internet when you have the option to silence them completely

just sit and imagine that for one second
>>
>>144781306
It has nothing to do with that. Stop typing and play the game.
>>
>>144781287
But if you taunt the opposing batter, that's all part of the game.
Baseball has had bants for over 100 years.
>>
>>144781306
You don't seem to get that the point isn't being distracted by other people typing, it is being distracted by the ability to type to other people for no ingame benefit.

People don't need more ways to fuck around. Joking with the enemy team is a lot of fun, undeniably. But given how readily fucktards die while typing to our own team, adding another audience for "epic" bantz serves no one.

Plus, if you want to play casual games with all chat, you can.

whatever you say babby boy. honestly allied chat is fucking useless 90% of the time anyway. its usually just idiots spouting memes and i end up muting half of them and just using pings and really basic calls.

oh yeah also most people in my experience that say 'just stop typing' are usually throwing the game and dont want to be shit on by their team. they're the same retards who know so little about the game that they cant come up with anything but 'no teamwork' when blaming someone else too.

youre going to actually propose that people shouldn't be allowed to chat because of mouth breathing retards that cant stop being epic? are you going to try and make discord illegal next?

So your point is that you want to be able to win by mocking the enemy team?

Distractions that cause shitters to lose? I'm for it. More room for good players to move up.
Please give me as many distractions as possible so I can ignore them while shitters don't.

I am saying there is no need to add features IN game that serve no benefit IN game.

No one can stop me from masturbating while playing HOtS, but that doesn't mean they should add a video feed of porn in the top right corner.
>>
>>144783315
Of course they should. So little worthless shits like you get distracted and maintain the low MMR they deserve and stay the fuck away from me.
>>
>>144783073
So, you are intending to implement a means to separate people by skill level pertaining to things unrelated to actual gameplay?

I get wanting to talk to people, but wanting to be able to talk to people because you think it would give you the edge seems a bit ludicrous. You wouldn't be fooling anyone.
>>
>>144783071
>>144783315
my point is that you shouldn't deny players the option to have something because you think they might use it in a bad way. this mentality is so ridiculous.

if youre playing with the kind of people who die because they're trying to socialize with the enemy through all chat you probably have WAY bigger problems in this game
>>
>>144783237
What's the problem? the main damage dealer was out, no amount of cc could gimp your team if you still had support(s) to mitigate damage
>>
>>144783541
>you shouldn't deny players the option to have something because you think they might use it in a bad way. this mentality is so ridiculous.

Why implement something that can be used in a bad way when it is a complete nonissue otherwise? I doubt all chat is such a huge contention that if implemented, MORE people would join. From a marketing perspective, it just doesn't make sense.
>>
>>144781306
Imagine being so retarded that you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to be shitty and badmouth somebody the second something incredibly trivial happens, as a means of grasping for a false sense of validation.
>>
>>144772489

>they remind you that you can always mute friendly/team chat in the game where if one person afks their team loses
>we can't have an optional all chat

:3 It's like you hate fun.
>>
>>144784095
>it is a complete nonissue otherwise?
that's your opinion anon. the game doesnt absolutely need all chat to be good, but it does serve a purpose.

i like when some shitter complains about their team in all chat because i now know we have an advantage. i like talking shit on the same guy and making him quit for a free win. and i know it just grinds your gears right up anon but once in a blue moon someone will say something funny without having a full blown conversation.

also again, i dont like the idea of holding back features because people think the community isn't ready for it. its a slippery slope. look what happened to league of legends.
>>
All chat isn't necessary or good for the game. It's just another avenue for toxic players to harass people.
>>
>>144785047
Copy-pasted straight from reddit.

>>144784683
>as a means of grasping for a false sense of validation.

do you really think this is what every person feels when they talk shit in a video game?
>>
>>144784706
That's a good point, to be honest. They really shouldn't let you. Even if people are being abusive, it is better to man up than put your head in the sand.

>>144784749
I'll be honest, I don't know what happened to LoL. I know they had a bit upset because some player was playing a bad character.

As for their issues with "toxicity", I don't have a horse in this race. People are too easily offended, but when people intentionally use chat to offend people in order to gain an advantage, I don't really see how that makes for a better game.

I definitely understand where you are coming from though.
>>
>No one should be allowed to use something because I don't like it
Fantastic argument.
>>
>>144785243
In one way or another, yes. Whether it's that or a sense of release, even if it's done from a place of not necessarily venting frustration, but rather for the sake of taking enjoyment knowing that another person is reading the purposefully bullshitty shit you're flinging at them. At the root of it all, it all kind of comes down to the same thing.
>>
>>144785467
It isn't as though you can't do all chat. You just can't do all chat in a real game.

If you want to all chat, you can.
>>
>>144785585
or you know it could just be comical

but yeah i do enjoy when somebody on the other team starts whining and my team basically bullies him out of the game
>>
>>144785467

All chat in custom supports the case for all chat in QM.
Even if I agree with no all chat in HL to 'keep it serious' (I don't agree)
QM is for fucking around and having fun. 'MUH HIDDEN AND USELESS MMR'
Putting together a custom game is not always an easy thing to do. Quick match is just a quick match. No rank, no serious draft and team building, just a quick game. So, all chat. Or toggle it off.
>>
>>144781978
>repeatedly make fun of them in all chat until they quit
I can see where you are coming from, and it doesn't bother me when people do this in other games (if they are my opponent), but I was raised to be polite and civil at all times, so I don't really feel like it's a good idea to include something that's only use is bullshiting and taunting fucks.

If I wanted to bullshit with idiots in a blizzard game I'd play the over-glorified chat client that is WoW. If I wanted to heckle the mentally retarded I'd buy tickets to the special olympics.

There are already a lot of factors helping people suck at the game, one more reason to take their hands off of the go position will only hurt matches.
>>
>>144787042
There is nothing good you could ever say in global chat. It's not about hearing it, it's about your dumb ass taking your hands off the controls to type.
>>
Fuck my ass for linking reddit, but here it is

And look, you can! All chat didn't destroy overwatch! It's not 100% toxic!

>I should be able to mock my opponents.

Fantastic argument. :^)
>>
>>144787306
I can't ever say 'Good play guys' to the other team? I can't gg them? Not possible, I physically would not be able to type that if I had all chat? You are 100% sure I could only bitch them out and call them faggots?
Sounds like you are the bitter cunt here anon.

None of that shit helps anyone.
The only things worth typing in chat are things, like, 'hold up', 'group up', 'stop feeding', 'pay attention'.

>all these retards (or one) saying all chat would be too distracting for everyone
if you want to engage in discussion you use it, else you get distracted. It's no a competition on who HAS AT ALL COSTS to win, some people, the casuals like me , while being 3,5k~ r1 would enjoy a litte trash talk or small talk on play or WHATEVER. The retard tryhards who scream and cry at the sign of a non meta pick/ban or anything that isn't "competitive" are ruining this already dead game, and you should all fuck off to other games with your stupid cancer.

And hey, why can we see who we're playing against? Smashed some guy on Sonya, queued against him, and he first banned her.

Like, why? Don't other games like this hides names of opposing players until after draft?

Different genre sure. Team game, variety of hero choices. Team composition and objective focus. Yeah, sounds like the same type of game.
"Casual"
It's a blizzard game, it's casual. HOTS is as casual as any other game they have put out. You can play any of them at a high level if you really want, but fun is paramount to the design philosophy.
