not sure which one is worse for your team

jaina or chromie

>>144795724
If they want to 100% try him why not quick match or AI?

>>144795724
might be because his winrate is the worst of any new hero ever

The important thing is that it blocks that Follow Through melee and then Zera dies immediately because of the autochill.

I played this game a good bit last year but I find it really boring.

I don't know if it's me or just MOBAs in general. It just feels to unsatisfying to play.

>>144805290
This is my first MOBA, so I have no point of reference, but it could be a genre thing. What sort of games have you found yourself enjoying?

>>144805290
Sounds like a moba problem in general. This game isn't THAT different from others in the genre.

So... Is Medivh gud ?

>>144807862
He's probably gonna be perma banned in competitive play. He does so much for a coordinated team it's insane. He's obviously much worse in solo queue, but he'll probably still be viable.

>two people openly hostile about picks and bans in draft
>loading screen indicates they're duo-queuing
>we end up losing and they proceed to whisper me and our support (he whispered me after, don't know about the third guy)
>proceed to queue into (against) the duo-queue two matches in a row

is there a sweeter feeling on this earth

>>144803626

I'm going to have to agree with >>144804759 that you should snatch up Zagara if you haven't already. Lane bully, massive potential for vision control and great sustained damage.

If between Xul and Sylv I'd probably go with Xul, who can set up a lot of pick-offs with his bone prison (Tyrande flare follow-up, or Chromie Q/W)

>>144807862

Probably like Tassadar.

Great in coordinated/competitive, mediocre/below-average in pub matches. He just doesn't really do much by himself. Perhaps I didn't test him for long enough to get a clear picture, though.

>>144807862
hes trash unless you are organized

>>144806170

I like RPGs and RTS mostly. Most recently playing Witcher 3 and soon Morrowind.

>>144798906
Raynor, Tychus, Zeratul, Nova.

>>144805290

Oh, that's unfortunate. Was there anything in particular you found unenjoyable, or dull?

>>144809086

>RTS

Have you by chance taken a look at the Vikings?

>>144807862
People will come out saying 'muh winrate'

but he is broken lol

>>144811479

Yeah, this. Wonder if he'll come out lower than Chromie.

And if so; how should they go about balancing Heroes like this? Should all Heroes have a 45-55% win rate in HL/QM, even if a Hero that's on the lower end of the spectrum be highly contested in competitive?

Mixed feelers. They seem to be content in letting Tassabro and Uther sit around 45%. Wonder if they wouldn't mind if Medivh sat even lower, if he was played in competitive.

Things I have learned about AFK Training:

Training has an auto-fail built-in if the game goes too long. I came back to a match that had been running for 4 hours to find that my team was defeated and earned no experience from the match.

Towers of Doom is by far your best bet for AFK training. Ping your AI buddies to follow you and camp an Altar.

I have discovered that the maximum level for Heroes of the Storm is actually 59, not 30. It's just that Level 31 has an insane XP requirement (however, 32+ have very small XP requirements).

>>144811875

Wow, that's amazing.

The longest I ever managed was a 2 hour game where I killed all three enemy keeps, pinged all 4 bots, then just sieged up with all range talents on our core on hammer.

>>144811791
It's like Aba. Most people can't play him FOR SHIT but that doesn't make him a terrible hero. It's good to have heroes like this in a sense where not every hero needs to be braindead and pandered for the mass casuals.

>>144812082
That's a good strategy, but it doesn't work for all heroes. Towers works for anyone.

>>144812165

I wonder how long before this pops up on Reddit and gets 5000 updoots.

>>144812149

Aye, Abathur was actually one of the Heroes that initially got me interested, and the only Hero I've purchased for $. Took me about five quick matches to realize I'd be significantly better off playing Li-Li and Raynor for another hundred matches or so before moving on to something slightly more complicated.

Perhaps I'll play Abathur one day, if/when they buff the fellow to make him a little more universally viable.

>>144812437

Yeah, thanks, I'll be trying your method out here in a bit. Just finished 9 on the majority of Heroes on my main account, may as well get a few games in on the smurf(s).

>>144812621
Hopefully never. I'mma be pissed if it does.

>>144812741
Should've written something across the image like "FUCK REDDIT" We get the image and point, but they wouldn't upload that shit. If someone was desperate they'd do it themselves.

/devilish/

>>144812815

Yeah, this.

Can always just delete that image and repost it with the 'Reddit' watermark, no?

>>144812741

Well, that one fellow who leaked all those skins/heroes only surfaced recently. Bit sad to see it pop up.

>>144813196

>skill rating based on personal performance
sounds good but i think it's just too vulnerable to exploits to get a meaningful implementation

>>144823729
Yeah, that's the general consensus I've seen for MM systems like this for a while now. I sincerely doubt they can find a perfect solution that both is fair and feels fair, but props to them for trying. They're aware that people will try to game the system, so I think if they're confident that any system they come up with will work I have confidence in them.

I've dropped from r13 to r18 in HL in the past five days. I usually take bruisers, solo tank, or specialist. I'm not amazing at the game, but 80% of my losses recently have been from teammates fighting each other or people who just pick whatever hero they want regardless of comp.

Do I even have a chance of making it to 10 for the epic mount, or should I try and find 4 randos to go for 10 in TL?

>Infested Toads instead of Leaping Spiders

Is there ever a reason to? Just picked up Zeebo and been having a ton of fun and luck with him, just curious.

Tyrande and Li-Ming..... POST IT! >_<

>>144832162
Leaping Spiders is one of the best talents in the game. NEVER don't take it
it'd be fucking rad if you could take both though

>>144832547

'Gotcha. What is it the talent does, exactly? Causes the spiders to prioritize Heroes in addition to 'dashing' to them?

I've only been using it recently, just saw a few others using infested toads when I didn't get the chance to play him.

>both

>>144832797
it adds 25% damage to their attack and gives them a jump attack instead of crawling to their target at base hero movement speed

Why is Kael'thas so based? I'm not talking about his IG powerlevel, just his personality. Wonder why Jaina refused him.

>>144833430
fuck you!!!

>>144777645
It's funny, because Alleria is both a good commander and a good archer, while actually being a lower rank. It's almost like Sylvanas tried to surpass her older sister, and failed. Kinda funny when you think about it.

>>144832797
It lets them get way more hits in and they are annoying as fuck for squishies

>>144833692
>Why is Kael'thas so based?
Who knows, he just is.
>Wonder why Jaina refused him.
Elven society by and large is pretty racist toward humans, so romanicing Kael wouldn't be as profitable for her.

Hey /hotsg/, wanted to get into this game while I'm building up funds for a non-toaster PC for Overwatch. Played a good number of games as Malfurion because I love pulling off dank heals in this game.

Is there anything I should watch/know going into future matches that will make me less a scrub? which hero is best

>>144833810
Fuck you, asshole. It's not funny at all.

It's outright hilarious.

>>144833810
Sylvanas spent all her time advancing her political career but Alleria was satisfied with hunting for BHC instead

I love HotS.

Fucking hate these balance devs. Gazlowe is still ridiculously situational, which means he's still pretty bad, but no let's make sure the same 3 heroes stay the best fucking Assassins in the game.

Incidentally, DotA is a lot closer to this game paradigm-wise than League, so you should be fine for the most part.

How do I chen? Jo is my go to tank but I'd like to expand my roster. Tips, builds, dos, donts?

>>144848737
Chen is kind of a bruiser in a sense that he doesn't have much crowd control, but also kind of a tank in a sense that his damage is fucking nothing. In other words, he's one pretty weird hero. His best matchup is against low-HP high-mobility backline assassins – you either kill them because your Q means they can't run away, or you draw their team's damage which is also good because you're kind of a dead weight otherwise. Grounding Brew/Brewmaster's Balance are pretty much must-have tier talents.

That's all I can think of for now.

how does it feel to know that Gul'dan never ever? hes already an azmodan skin

>>144873615

I'd suggest just communicating a little.

"Hey, I know I'm last pick and have to fill but I'm not really comfortable/familiar with X, or I don't own many tanks", or whatever.

I've found somebody usually doesn't mind filling if you aren't very good/comfortable. I'd suggest just avoid saying you can't or won't play a role. Annoys people. Even if "I'm not comfortable tanking" pretty much means the same thing, it comes across as less stubborn.

>when last pick hovers azmo/gaz/tychus/nova and doesn't say anything in draft

You should not be in fucking hero league if you can't play all 3 positions.

Faggots like you are the reason enemy teams get fed.

>>144878949
What about all the positions listed in hotdogs?

I can tank, but I'm not good with bruisers

>>144878949

Uh, I can.

Of all the roles to fill I generally don't find myself playing healer, and try to let others know in case they're more familiar, or would prefer to play it.

Calm down.

>>144878949
Thing is nearly nobody ever plays support, which I have to play in serious games (HL) nearly every time. You eventually get sick of it and want to mix it up.

>>144879850
I do.
But I'm a shitter so you probably will never have me on your team

Maybe we'll eventually get a fun support capable of solo-supporting.

It definitely feels like it, although I'm sure a lot of my "good" games had an opposing player dc, tilt in draft, first blood, first objective, etc.

I feel like I'm winning most of my games when everybody is playing with a reasonably level head, and doesn't just openly throw by clearing a minion wave between an enemy fort and keep with five players MIA.

>>144886854

Yeah, it's just like Illidan; have to get in there, and she has few options for escape, especially with how mobile some Heroes are (fuck you, Tracer).

I think she was well-designed in that she had a component of risk when going to deal heavy damage (namely cone of cold), as opposed to Kael who'd just DQ from a mile away and delete anything clustered.

Bit sad to see her become outdated.

>>144898965

>why want

Just another "muh waifu" character, I imagine.

>>144898848
seriously, how the fuck am I supposed to grind a decent rank. I've played today 8 games, lost exactly half of them. When we won, it was a balanced fight to the last fort. When we lost, it was a snowball, always because of one guy that kept jumping in front of tank/lanepushing with Morales while teamfight happens/picking Nova instead of a support on BoE

Seriously, does Blizzard have like a special vault filed with the extremest of idiots that they meticiously deploy each time someone dares to go over 50% winrate?

When I go up ranks, I should get tougher enemies, not dumber teammates.

>>144900108

I honestly don't even know at this point, feels like a total coin-toss. I'd like to think things'll work out in my favor if I play enough games, but I may lack the passion to continue queuing.

As of late I've just had a lot of teammates almost openly throw. 3 enemies down and we've just taken a keep? Nice, back off. No, don't get that merc camp. Back off, we're all low on health/mana/cds.

>3-4 enemies run in
>wipe them up
>entire team dead for 64 seconds

Like, fuck. I'll even communicate these things as the keep is going down, and will furiously spam ping retreat, and try to cover for them.

Just frustrating to solo queue in this game.

>>144811875
>Training
so wait does this let you level up your heroes without actually playing them?

>>144901359

Yeah, sort of. Queue a "Training", not "Vs. AI" match, then just come back in 15-20 minutes after it finishes. Gives full experience, but no gold.

No AFK detection in the mode, see. Allows you to level up Heroes without actually having to learn/play them, which sort of defeats the purpose of the whole "Hero level 5" for ranked thing, but whatever.

>>144911475
In Korea it's not great, there isn't much sponsorships and the money is pretty low there. There pro gaming is treated as a viable career path where as in other places like the US and EU it's more of a hobby you take seriously for a while until you get a real job. If the money is not good there and the game is not popular in Korea there is no point in continuing to play it, and they would be better off jumping into a game with a healthy future.

Thrall, Illidan and Zeratul are all top tier. Greymane even after his nerf is still great. The only shit melee assassins are Kerrigan and butcher.

>>144910273

Yes, I know. Sample size, probably. Most recent games included a first pick Abathur on tomb who didn't say a single thing the entire game, or ping, and just (barely) pushed a lane with his monstrosity.

Muted person hovering Nova, guy in charge banning her, then she went Jaina and died 18 times.

Somebody with fewer than 5 games on the Vikings insisting on playing them on garden because "best map".

I'll just keep queueing and trying to stay positive.

>its a 3.7k mmr 4th prepick zera gets tilted because a 3rd pick got him and proceeds to take archon tass as solo support

KYS

>>144915340
Tbh I don't care about rank anymore, it's a joke. I just had a muted sylvanas that just attacked forts the whole game until she died, which it's not even wort it on garden of terror.

I have 120 HL games, 60 wins and 60 loses in which at least half of the loses I had trash talkers or shitty players that waste time typing, and at least 10 of those loses just blatantly trolls like that, I literally shift from rank 5 to 9 forever. Not to mention there are some times which I'm just tired of loses, pick whatever meme hero, get trash talked and still win meaning it was just forced50 win.

The only reason I play now is solely because I hate mirror matches on QM, it's boring as hell and I want to leave but nothing else really, and anyways people tend to pay better in HL overall, it's just that the amount of troll games and shitty player games in HL is higher.

So yeah, the number goes up and down everytime but I only care about the quality of the game now, even if I lose.

>>144916772
just find someone to duo with and youll start climbing again. preferably someone who is as good as you, or worse but will listen to your calls. its just that easy. turn 1 v 9 into a 2 v 8 and your chances are doubled.

Yeah, I've only managed about 140 games at this point. Hovering between 5 and 10. Made the mistake of hopping into HL with the intention of 'maining' support.

Lost far, far too many low MMR games than I should have playing Morales, watching as my team does camps after a full 5-man team wipe for 40+ seconds.

tyrande is the one true waifu

Muh divh when?

>>144922583
Some important community faces are leaving and big clans are disbanding which are not good signs. These games need a lot of people to thrive otherwise it doesn't work for anyone involved.

Hope that there's still hope

>>144926045
Nah, no hope, they did too little much too late. Game was over a year in pre-season after launch

>>144926337
if you compare hots launch to overwatch launch it becomes pretty obvious it was the D team working on hots
at this point the game is an advertisement for all their franchises

>>144922583
It's as dead as Overwatch will be in 6 months

So I've played 10 matches of this game, and I'm genuinely wondering the why the fuck anyone plays this game? LIke, if you want a casual MOBA it's still no good, LoL exists, if you want WC heroes Dota 2 exists. I feel like this game is jsut an abortion of ideas that don't work. I've played a fair shake of LoL and I can respect that people want a less mechanical more fighty MOBA play that game, but I just don't know why people would play this game. Is it like a Blizz thing, do you just like to support the company. Is it because it's your first MOBA? In which case I'd suggest switching, this game seems to be dieing rapidly. I'll keep playing this game for the night while I watch Manila and maybe I'll understand better, but it just seems so pointless.

>if you want WC heroes Dota 2 exists
kek, Valvedrones actually believe this

>>144928317
Are you joking? Outside of name changes and silhouette changes they're literally the WC3 heroes.

>>144927790
you didn't list a single point of why hots is "no good" besides requiring less mechanical action than other MOBAs(which i personally think is a pro). can you give more examples?

>>144926809
Yeah, it was always just an ad for their other games, that's why they put so little effort into it, they barely market or talk about it at all and it takes over a year to actually start season 1 and get bans in, you can't even trade heroes or gift the SC2 engine is still buggy as fuck creating 2 new problems for every problem they patch.

It's pretty clear they don't really care much about this game and put minimal effort into promoting or creating it, it's just a moba to try to get you interested in their real franchises.
