Chromie is good in the right hands with competent teammates. It's just two hard variables that most other heroes don't have.

>Fuck this, gg I'm just going to AFK

What did he mean by this?

does towers of doom ever come up in HL?
I've had every other map besides that and Haunted Mines

>>145979904
Unlike Kael and Li ming, Chromie is very map and team dependant.

>>145980346
It does.

:) Nice to know season 1 is about as meaningful as preseason.

>>145980769

"Get Stuffed" at 20 causes your R to trigger twice, effectively 1-shotting anything that isn't Johanna, Stitches or Azmodan.

>>145980769
Level 20 talent that makes her ulti deal damage twice

>>145979904
Jaina maybe? She's been kinda outclassed by the other 2 mages (vulnerable to Greymane/Illi / dive comps), but she's still fairly solid.

Greymane (melee, gets shutdown other ways)

watching this gook gm completely tilted by chromie is p good

holy shit switching from manual skill activation to on-release skill activation makes the game so much less tedious

No. That's how it worked back in November-January, with the whole get Cho'gall - give Cho'gall promotion.
Nowadays he's a regular buyable hero in shop, you both have to have him to play him.

>>145987025
so it was just during the promotion?

poison nova or wall of scary skeletons?

>>145990015
Depends.
I tend to like the wall of skeletons because they can be an area-denial tactic. Drop it on an objective like the Raven tribute to keep the enemy away from it until your team gets there.
If they have a lot of squishies, Poison Nova is a great way to hit everyone and watch them die as they try to run away.

spooky most of the time

nova only if they have a shitty healer like uther/tass/tyrande

>>145985543
I find it odd that people get good at the micro before they understand the game and that many people don't ever bother understanding the game.

Things like how to defend, grouping up before a team fight, pushing towers and forts when the enemy is distracted, and when to take camps. After a few people should learn this kind of shit, be a lot of people don't. I've seen people camp the terror and dragon to keep other team mates from getting them and then not even know how to use them or that they are for pushing. I've seen people who get angry if you don't push all lanes evenly while the enemy team rolls down one lane toward victory. I've seen the opposite too, where the team was at a disadvantage and they could wrap their heads around the fact that having more siege minions pushing takes up slack.

How can people play this, or do anything for that matter, so mindlessly?

>>145991239
Uther really needs a tiny buff after the stun nerf. Just an increase to his healing would be fine.

>>145994524
I should have done this in the first place. I forgot that test mode exists.
Arcane Power has to be active when you cast Pyroblast. It doesn't do anything when you activate it while the fireball is traveling.

Gul'dan is going to be op as fuck, they released two terrible heroes with Chromie and Medivh so now they are going to have to release a super op hero that everyone needs to buy for the new season

BRAK A BOA

>>145998282
First they nerfed his "absurd" waveclear (which was supposed to be his gimmick in the first place) to a pretty shitty lvl.
Then they nerfed his W by I think 20% or worse.
Both of those changes made him a pretty low tier pick.
And then they lately nerfed all iterations of Regen Master, which in his case destroyed the last part of his already low sustain and turned him into utter shit.

How come I'm 2.5k MMR in QM and barely 1.5k MMR in HL according to Hotslogs? Why this happen?

Not the other guy, but she can solo support, but she's nowhere near as good at keeping up a tank in a team fight light Morales or Rehgar.
Still I have a lot of fun with her, even going as healy a build as I can with her.
http://www.heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/tyrande#gOh7

>>146006449
Playing tyrande you really just need to combo with your other team CC. Like if a stitches hook you stun right infront of him but you launch it before the target gets to him so the stun will hit them when they land after the hook, when when diablo does a charge you shoot your stun behind him so when he flips them they are stunned immediately.

There are a lot of things you can do like getting good at hunters marking people while your stun is in the air so you get max time and good damage on them. Her combo is stun > hm > owl and it does a good amount of damage. She use to have a bunch of specs but now you mostly just go owl build, and if you have a secondary support you can go starfall, or even sometimes when you are solo healer if your team is really reliant on getting kills since shadowstalk doesn't actually do that much healing and a lot of the time you find you use it to initiate a fight rather than heal up during.

It's hard to explain though how to play tyrande, and there are a lot of little things you can do like if you are in lane soloing and need to heal don't heal yourself, heal a minion because you get the same benefit (that is if no one else who is hurt is around). She is more of an aggressive support that relies on killing things quickly. Knowing when to use your HM and hitting your stun is pretty important. You won't heal that much, but when the enemies are dead it doesn't matter that much.

Why does anub'arak has 500 less hp (around 200 ish if you count temporal shielding) if both have a cc, and a escape tool, not to mention that muradin can actually get back to a fight in no time with his trait, whereas anub's has uses but you really have to invest into it to make it good

why does lunara has a scout wisp as a "basic" ability, and then they release xul afterwards that has a 4th "support" ability and 3 good "basic" ones

How come illidan can actually solo bosses more reliable than merc' lord robgob gazlowe ever since the reworks? I mean i know it's because that level 7 heal talent, but he won't really lose health or have to spend resources,gazlowe can probably do it a bit quicker but since he dosen't have any way of healing anymore he's just asking to get jacked. Not to mention illidan dosen't have to gimp himself to do so.

How long untill they actually look at leoric? or at least delete him from the game? he can't keep up with the mob creep and high burst on a single place since he is forced to move slowly to sustain his ass unless you take a 16 talent, wich by then you died at least 10 times

Is there any situation that you would take hammer over chromie assuming you're in a organized team? (Probably the only legit question i have in all of this)

also everyone please report Monzaemon on EU if u ever come across him, he pisses me off. he gives a bad name to all Prince Kael'thas Sunstriders out there. he was playing on the enemy team and spammed B (b stepped) when they killed someone early game. i consider b stepping to be as humiliating as spitting in someone's face irl. well, later on in the game i killed the shit out of him as dehaka. so my point is, dont b step if you arent going to win, otherwise you are a subhuman fag that needs to be sent to the concentration camp ASAP!

EXTRA PROTIP: For anyone fearful of changing from press then click to cast due to "I like/need to see the aiming/range, and I sometimes don't want to shoot" while holding you can right click to cancel the shot without it moving you if you have skill shots set to on release.
YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO REASON NOT TO USE 'ON RELEASE'

I REPEAT: IF YOU PRESS+CLICK TO CAST YOU NEED TO UNISTALL THIS GAME AND GO PLAY MINECRAFT OR ANGRY BIRDS.

Doubtful, friend. Perhaps they had a higher mmr from preseason after having not played for a while?

Eh, sort of. If you play relatively low impact Heroes at an MMR truly below your skill level you will climb, it'll just take longer than if you played Sonya, Valla, Greymane, Li-Ming, etc.

It's because you were fucking garbage. Then you started to actually learn to play the game, and flatlined after you decided that everyone else is the reason you lose every game and not the many many mistakes you are almost certainly making.

1600 MMR for nearly a year is fucking pathetic dude, there's bad luck streaks and then there's being a garbage player. Occam's razor my dude.

'no'

My brother was much worse than me when he started playing, and he started at a much higher MMR

I think these are my placement matches

No idea why the game thinks I should lose 1000 MMR because of retards but it sure as shit isn't my fault. Sure, I made mistake, but it's not like I'm some mouth breather. I played a bunch of Dota and LoL before this, and strategy games before that.

>>146029393
He has the easiest time escaping in most situations, not just with his base kit, but both ultimates as well. So yeah, pretty much. He's probably the best Baby's First Bruiser for this reason.

>>146029472
I lost every single one of my placement matches and ended up at a 1200 MMR and grinded my way up to 2800 MMR.

Post a replay of a match you lost recently. I guarantee you that's absolutely riddled with mistakes and you threw in huge ways that you aren't even aware of because you never took the time to actually learn how to play the game.

>>146029472

>drawing comparisons

I'd like to see some of these. Not sure why you would bother to constantly compare yourself to them, though.

>I wasn't garbage

Uh, your MMR (and that of your brother/friend) suggest otherwise.

>no idea why the game thinks I should lose 1000 mmr

Because that's what happens when you lose significantly more than you win; it matches you with/against those of your perceived skill level.

Going to need something of substance here, perhaps a replay, or match breakdown. Stat screen, even.

>>146030167

Uh, difficult, looks like. I doubt you'll ever get full value of his kit out of QM/HL, especially at lower MMRs.

Sort of curious as to how they intend to buff him, because while I'm content with Heroes not always having a 45-55%, 20% seems a tad on the low end, and it isn't healthy to have a Hero that low. (People dodging, banning teammates out who intend to play him which can lead to trolling, etc)

The MMR system needs to take into account shit like players who are AFK during draft, players who are AFK for parts of the game, players who chat a lot, players who never ever go near map objectives, players who die a lot, players who don't contribute enough siege/hero/healing (compared to the global average let's say)

>The MMR system needs to take into account shit like players who are AFK during draft, players who are AFK

I can definitely agree with you here; there shouldn't be full point gain/loss if somebody afks or disconnections, at least prior to first blood, or loss of objective.

>can't help you

Well, I've ground several accounts from below your MMR to significantly above your mutual friends MMR. Just trying to help here.

Yeah, there are troll picks, afks, and so on. No, they aren't the reason your MMR has stopped moving.

>No, I'm not that much of an asshole.

Okay, nice. Sorry I mentioned it, then.

>>146033118

If you aren't better than the average individual situated at the MMR you deserve to be there, friend.

>people think you can raise your MMR after you have hundreds of games played
The matchmaker tries to make you win half of your games so once you get to the point where you lose and gain like 10 points per game, you aren't going anywhere

>>146033368
i am better, than everyone i play with.

>>146033376
If you're only winning half of your games that's because you're at the correct MMR according to your skill level numbnuts.

>>146033545
Or because the other 4 players are too high MMR but are also stuck there for the same reasons

>>146033545
Well not really since the game, in effort to keep your win/loss 50% will put lower ranking/MMR (shitters) on your team instead of putting you against higher ranking/MMR (better) opponents.

Also, you can have >50% win/rate and still lose rank/MMR.

I should be a pro but this game is busted as fuck,, shitty teammates keep bringing my sick plays down! I cant carry these fucks and I just cant rise! Im not bronze, I should be a pro!

Please send help.

Hope none of you are surprised that we get people that bitch about MMR.

>>146034194
Get stuck at low MMR? Just make a new account and enjoy the higher MMR

>>146034194
>everyone says "just git gud"

We asked you to post a replay dipshit, you have yet to do so.

>>146034451
>you
Here we go. >>146034194 is my first post in 10+ hours. Most of the posts above about MMR are useless. And there are some facts, such as getting put against shit players rather than putting against good players. You can not do anything about that and it does nothing but tank your MMR since 1 player alone can and will lose you the game. No matter how well you do, you'll lose. Lose a lot.

Oh and generally you lose more MMR in losses than you gain in wins. The whole system is rigged.

>>146034451
That's not me, so turns out I'm not just a lonely crank

This is a thread that has an active viewer base of around 3 people, you're not fooling anyone by rushing to your own defense.

If you are 1600 MMR for an entire fucking YEAR, it's because you're bad. End of story, no more discussion, fuck off if you refuse to post a replay.

>>146034715
There's at least 4 of us in this thread. There's me, you and that other dipshit that tried to blame me, and this other guy: >>146034617

Why are you defending Blizzshit's shit ShitMR?

>Why are you defending Blizzshit's shit ShitMR?

There are definitely a myriad of improvements that could be made to matchmaking, but if you think that the reason you've literally stagnated at 1600 MMR for a year is because you're on the worst bad luck streak in the history of video games, you are a delusional fucking retard. There's no more left to say about this. Enjoy Bronze.

>>146034715
You have no proof that it's me. You seem to be more upset than the raging anon. Imgur link for multiple images: http://imgur.com/a/jFgBL -- You'll still probably project that I'm that pissed off anon anyway and deny that you can even be wrong.

>inb4 nice paint/photoshop

>>146034857
Doesn't look like defending to me. The more I play, the more the whole MMR and ranking system is a scam. You're basically forced to queue with people equal to or better than your rank. I'm diamond/plat and if I ever play with anyone lower, I WILL lose MMR. Solo is incredibly bullshit in non-ranked, QM is basically at least one feeder every game who will lose you the match.

>>146034715
>If you are 1600 MMR for an entire fucking YEAR, it's because you're bad
Have you tried making a low MMR account with like 500 games played and then tried to raise it to your main accounts MMR?

Medivh is an interesting case. Unlike other heroes that only do one thing really well, or a handful of things moderately well, Medivh does a handful of things EXTREMELY well, and is potentially the most powerful hero in the game.

The trick with Medivh is knowing when, where, and how to use his various abilities. You've gotta keep up the pressure with his skillshot, keep an eye out for shield opportunities, know the terrain well enough to know where to place portals, know your team well enough to know when to place portals, be able to estimate the enemy team's movements well enough to be able to take the best ultimate, know when to use Dust of Appearance, know when and how to properly scout with the Raven form, know when and how to use Invisibility and Arcane Brilliance, the list goes on.

Medivh's potential is absolutely mind-boggling, but his power level is directly linked to yours. Unlike Kael who can more or less braindead his way through a match, Medivh requires levels of micro and map awareness beyond that of Abathur, and the player's technology just isn't there yet.

isn't that literally what he said?

Medivh requires you to actually be good at the game to be good at playing Medivh
most people are shit, don't have map awareness, can't aim ONE fucking skill shot, don't know when to shield, etc.

Medivh as a character and overall kit seems pretty solid with the capability to make huge plays just through sheer utility alone, like how Viking used to provide massive benefit through team exp leads as long as the player was good enough to use them properly (before they got gutted with the rebalancing)

So are all heroes really going to be free to play from the 24th to the 28th?

Can't wait to be a Medivh shitter.

>>146037184
He's not talking about the general population of Medivh players you mong, he's talking about the character itself and what is involved in best using him.

>>146038087
I disagree with Medivh requiring micro. I also disagree with Medivh requiring higher awareness than Abathur. I do agree however that his potential is good and that most people can't play him for shit.

It's no surprise, the average pub can't play the most basic of heroes competently. It can't be a surprise they fail even more and the difficulty of the hero increases.
