In theory, but usually you'll only clone a few select Heroes with strong base abilities and/or damage.

Jaina and Greymane, for instance. He's also a pretty okay way to try out the new heroes.
>>146499450

Just flex/smurf player things, I guess. Should probably just be a little more stubborn and focus on playing a select few Heroes.

Moving the level cap to 20 was a mistake and if you disagree you are autistic

They could just remove the level cap entirely, and not offer rewards for anything beyond 20.

Perhaps an end-of-season leaderboard for the highest level of each Hero?

an analysis of potentially autistic me:

inappropriate laughing - sometimes i remember something funny

no real fear of dangers - well, idk. i wanna die in violent combat, i wouldnt say im afraid, but i always get a feeling like im gonna get hit by a car when its behind me

may not want cuddling - ever since i was a kid i was disgusted by such unedgy actions, for real

may avoid eye contact - dont like human beings, 1st thing that came to my mind when i went outside today "i hate civilisation!"

may prefer to be alone - how does it have to do anything with autism anywY? STUPID

difficulty in expressing needs - i talk very rarely, so my speech gets fucked up, i will occasionally use sounds

spins objects - everyone does it wen they r bored, nobody does such shit in their free time tho

difficulty in interacting with others - dont like humans


am I aUSTICSC?

i didn't read past the first sentence and can say, without a doubt, you're autistic anon

Polybomb is hilarious against AI. Also, Medivh is a strong hero but sadly most people can't utilise him for shit. Certainly has good potential with a good player in a good team. However, both are unlikely.

>>146503048
No, it never did that, it just obscures your vision for a couple of seconds and silences you for a couple seconds more.

>>146502664

Eh, depends on whether or not I'm at fault.

Sometimes, yeah. Didn't Ancestral early enough, or I wasn't able to stun Li-Li out of her healing ult. Usually it's just people blowing off steam, though.

Like, even if Illidan dove too deep, too early for me to reach him with ancestral (and didn't dodge any of the CC thrown on him) usually best to try to accept a bit of blame, apologize, or whatever. I've had a surprising amount of games turn around just by accepting blame, whether or not I'm at fault.

>>146503048

Nope. Silences the target, preventing them from using abilities in addition to obscuring vision.

You should ideally have a vague idea of whatever heroes you are about to clone. Basic knowledge on how every hero plays is useful to have, but not deathly essential if you're still learning the game.

>mfw EU region has higher average MMR than US for every hero

>>146524396
It's not quite what you said, it lists the top 100 mmr <insert hero here> mains. I mean, it can kinda be neat, but ultimately not as useful as most of the other features on the site. And winrate by itself is not a really useful statistic, which is why the leaderboard is organizing by mmr. It only lists winrate and games played as little bonus statistics.

>>146524530
Friendly reminder that comparing mmrs from two different regions that intermix rarely if ever yields no useful information whatsoever. MMR is a meaningless number that only gains meaning when compared to other numbers in the same region. If EU has a higher MMR than NA, that just means there's a bigger gap between the best and worst players (not hard to imagine what with russia and all) in EU, and says nothing of where the upper and lower bounds of that scale actually are in comparison to NA.

>>146543746
So, which one will it be after Gul'dan?
Varian, because august = Legion?
Auriel, because we didn't get a new support for 9 months?
Or Samuro, because his'a brade seeksuh vengeance?

>>146545569
Gul'dan -> Varian -> Auriel -> Samuro

That would be my guess.

>>146544630
It's Saturday morning.

>>146545569
>>146545967
I'd say
Gul'dan first half of july
Varian august 2nd
Auriel august 30th
Samuro september

I bet we'll get Zarya this year, but will she be the one for october, or will she be one of announcements at Blizzcon? And what gimmick hero will they cook up for this year? Blizzcon is always three heroes, one of them super-special (Vikings, Cho'Gall)

>all heroes free this weekend

So, who else is avoiding hero league until this shit blows over

>>146546582
Zarya will be at Blizzcon for sure.
They'll probably reveal a SC hero as well.
When it comes to super meme heroes I'd have said Ragnaros who replaces the core. But it would be something of a WC overload after Chromie, Medivh, Gul'dan, Varian, Samuro and Greymane already released this year.
There's also the 25th anniversary of Diablo coming up. So I'd wager we'll get at least one more Diablo hero this year after Auriel.
My Blizzcon predictions would be:
Zarya
SC hero
Diablo hero (maybe Baal since he's very iconic)

Not sure which of them could be the unique meme hero.

>>146547965
>playing hero league at all

>>146548178
SC could provide some meme snowflake heroes.
Maybe Mengsk or a SCV or that shitty fucking Carbot concept Adjutant

>>146548770
Mengsk could be an Abathru like hero.
But then again they could also go full memes and reveal the Innkeeper from Hearthstone rather than a SC hero.

>>146555946
You are winning plenty of games were your opponents have higher MMR then you, but you sill loose plenty of games?

MMR and rank aren't really tied together.
You can loose three games against people about the same MMR as you and loose 20-30 points a game, but then win a game were you are at a theoretical disadvantage and gain 100-200 MMR. So you could loose three games, and then win one and your MMR would go up.

It would be weird for this to keep happening, but it's possible.

Man, I wish I had time to play like this, I have, like, 9 quick match games in the new season.

>>146556152
But where are you getting this MMR from?

If you really think hotdogs's representation of hidden MMR is accurate, it's really imprecise. I mean it's a decent ballpark figure but a 150 point descrepancy would definitley be believable.

>>146555221
This is as close as we'll ever get to having a Troll in HotS.

>>146556369
Hotdogs yes

It's really fucking frustrating. I lose rank points from "Personal Rank Adjustment" and (less often) "Favoured Opponent Adjustment" and I don't know why the fuck that is

>did you have to look up those words before you used them
HOW CAN SHE BE SO SMUG >_<

>>146556480
Well favored opponent adjustment means that the other team was favored so you get less points lost.

Idk what personal rank adjustment is but im pretty sure that at higher ranks it means you get more points for a win and less deductions for a loss, while at lower ranks you get less points for a win and more deductions for a loss from the personal rank adjustment.

Anyone know maximum time we can play AI game. Someone in thread before say blizz cap it so we cant farm.

>>146556871
>>146556480
Personal Rank Adjustment is points that are supposed to make your rank match your MMR more closely. If you're rank 30 with 3000 MMR and you win a match, you get PRA points.

>>146556934
So why am I losing points from victories when my MMR is climbing?

>>146557036
im sure someone over at reddit will answer this question

>>146557257

>im sure someone over at reddit will answer this question

your rank is still too high for your MMR. I guess you're diamond or something but have a ~2000 MMR.

>>146557298
I'm gold 2 with 2000 MMR

Shouldn't I rank up as I get better though? Why is the game making me lose more points than I win?

just take in the rythm and the healing shit for your D, there.

>>146561221
core:
>1: resistance on e
>4: longer d for every short during d
>10: lazor
>13: heal during d

variance:
>7: while quarterback is super cool and super effective against heroes like tracer that like to stay in the fight until they're about to die and then escape, relentless is too good to pass up most of the time, but if the enemy team lacks disables throw dem nades
>16: titan grenade is very cool, especially with quarterback, but generally you want the improved q damage since that's what you will be using when your d is down
>20: lazor upgrade is super strong, but depending on how the game goes every option has its time to shiine

the key to winning with tychus is really understanding just how fucking tanky you are after 13, you can heal through crazy damage if you have resistance from your e and get to hit a high HP target. and these situations, where the enemy greatly underestimates how tanky you are, is when you really stomp them. don't be afraid to just stand still and hit people while your d is up even when you're being focused

Queues/rankings getting more and more fucked up. Not enough people playing for the current system to work and subsequently even more people are quitting.

this has to be the worst tip I've ever read for this game, a single stun and you get nuked from orbit

looks like someone doesnt know how to tanky tychus is
well hopefully you're not fighting 1v5 and didnt run in guns blazing, but I've won countless fights doing this even when 2-3 people were on me because they too think I'd simply die, but then it took way longer than they expected and even though I did die, I took one down with me we comfortably won the fight

You should top or be close to top damage as Tychus virtually every game. Just let your D do the work.
In teamfights, really just dont be a retard. As long as you don't charge into 5 people without team support you shouldn't die. The only thing dangerous to you after lvl 13 is nukes, so be extra careful to not get caught out of position and nuked to oblivion.

50-0 wouldn't get you anywhere on these guys accounts that had no clue when they started before the recent "reset"
maybe you'd get a low bronze with 500 games played up to mid silver.

really that's a case were you want forced 50 to be real and start throwing you in tilted matches so you can get bigger gains. don't really even know why that's a meme because it would only have people reaching their true mmr faster.

>>146569848
you can still recognize the better players. if you can get a 3 man core war/sup/ass together you are probably ahead of the other team in bronze or silver. the idea is to kill their stupid players first. at the very least recognize when they have a bot they didn't ping so you get the free wins going your way.

Why do you think I wouldn't get anywhere? Ranks are just based on wins, even with their crappy MMR I'd rank up. In fact, crappy MMR would even make it easier to win games since the difference between my skill MMR and actual MMR would be even bigger.

What happened here, hotsg? A guy on my friend list suddenly disappeared. I can "add friend" on them but not whisper, says they're no longer on my realm. I doubt they removed me themselves, we play together occasionally and we were on good terms last time we played (4+ hours ago)

I haven't actually had anybody do this in a long time.

Usually it's a Li-Li when I'm on my smurfs, though.

I actually won this game, despite Nova. He started off by typing corny as shit stuff like "NOVA DOWN" and "TAKE CHARLIE, GO GO GO". Then he wrote a bunch of shit in Dutch and left the game. Won 4v5 after 15 grueling minutes of stalemates and near-full teamwipes

Why didn't anyone tell me that Brightwing is OP af?

>>146578474

Yes anon as the post you replied to said that.

>>146580494
She isn't. Underrated, but not OP at all. Also retards expect for you to take blink heal every game.

Sort of curious as to when and why you'd actually ever take Emerald Wind over Blink Heal, which just seems to offer so much more versatility.

someone at rank 35 won't be up to 1 off a huge winstreak when their mmr can only move 20 a game.
just because you saw someone with high mmr lose a few games and derank from 1 doesn't mean anything. rank was designed to fuck with people and fluctuate some. doesn't mean you can win your way to easy ranks on a shit account

>>146576742
HL is permanently fucked without changes.

mixed duo/single ranking is clearly stupid
duos real mmr should be astronomical with the win rates some have. it's proof mmr isn't working aggressively enough to adapt. and no it's not the matchmaking they get either.
people who haven't played in months are a permanent plague with no decay and seasons encourage people to do a little grind a month or less for the rewards then fuck off. doubling down on stupid.
blizzard still clings to the "people need something to play for" rank grind that adds frustration when most aren't ever going anywhere anyway. pointless.

how do you sell that to people? mounts?

>>146581890
But rank isn't gained with MMR, rank is gained with winning games

>>146581890
Again, because you don't seem to understand it: Rank is based off wins. You can reach grandmaster with like 2k if you just win enough.

>p-pls carry me in ranked
Why do so many people beg to be carried in ranked? Just solo it. Duo is for cheating faggots.

>>146583410
Solo is for heroes who don't need teamwork aka for playing the game wrong and suffering the consequences. Duo is where true patricians dwell and draft things like Tassadar/Kerrigan.

>>146582023
are you memeing or just retarded? you gain mmr when you win and are placed based on mmr to begin with. you can't escape an mmr of hundreds or thousand of games and rank up 10+ ranks off a 20 game win streak in the old system

>>146582232
don't understand it because it isn't real.
you can post an example but all i see at the bottom of GM is 3k

>>146583769
>Tassadar / Kerrigan

not

> Tassadar / Artanis

bitch, please, do you even entaro adun?

>>146584008
Sometimes that too, but there are situations where you don't need another semi-tank (if just to appease the shitters you draft with in diamond).

>>146583942
YOU DO NOT GAIN OR LOSE RANK WITH MMR YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER

Okay, that'll be my game for the week.

>>146583942
>you can't escape an mmr of hundreds or thousand of games and rank up 10+ ranks off a 20 game win streak in the old system

Yes you could. After finishing placements, MMR and rank are two completely unrelated entities.

And my 2k GM was just an example, but you are actually supporting my point - the 500th best player is 3k, yet there are plenty of people with higher MMR not grandmaster. Why? Because those people didn't win enough.

>my number that doesn't matter (rank) isn't bigger
>my number that does matter (MMR) keeps me in elo hell
wah wah wah


just fucking play the damn game, it's only the first week of the first season of HotS, of course shit's gonna be weird

in a month everyone will be were they belong both MMR and rank wise, bitching about edgecases won't matter when you're stuck in Plat 4 the entire fucking time because you belong there

>>146584338

did you take any time to actually instruct your team on how to handle meditank?

>>146586550
You do realize that Brexit means fewer white immigrants (Poles, Germans) and more mudslime paki scum, right?

>all these idiots who think rank and mmr are unrelated
How do you think the system decides how many bonus points you get?

>>146590308
They are hardly related though. MMR decides bonus points, but win/lose is what really makes up your rank.

>>146589725

>at least one person in draft freaks out if I pick him after somebody else has already gotten Zagara

This is perplexing, especially if the opposing team lacks WC and has an Illidan, Greymane, or something.

What the fuck is peoples obssession with Jaina? Im talking about the people who go 0/7 in under 10 minutes. Holy shit, not only shes bad, but if you cant play her why do you even pick her.
