If you ended up being bronze, silver, or gold, it was YOUR fault. Is not that everyone is stupid anon, it is YOU.

So yeah, DEAL WITH IT and GIT GUD.

You wouldn't believe. We have our resident manchildren that will post meme after reaction image (anime girls) screaming and crying about how this game is shit because he ended up being bronze (later he changed this version to "gold") and that EVERYONE that ever got something from platinum onwards was "making lots of smurf accounts". Is even sadder than it seems. I should screencap his reactions next time he spergs live.

Should have used some kind of BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY for all the NA "pro" scene. Fucking Taiwan beat the supossed n°1 champion of this sad region. Fucking Hueland almost beat the "n°2".

Forgive me.

Why can't you redo talents like a few seconds after you take it? Seems like there should be a little bit of misclick prevention, you can sell items back a few seconds later if you take the wrong one in other mobas.

Thanks thread header. I'm pretty sick of this game at the moment, but Valla with freckles is super cute so I really need to grind out games for that portrait.

>>158815035
He's in a healthy spot right now. It doesn't sound like much, but moving at 150% speed instead of 155% does give tracer the opportunity to catch up to him if she triple blinks and has her ultimate ready.

>>158815035
No more patches until after blizzcon, they think he's fine as is.

>>158815337
He is 62% on current build. Still too good. I bet that more nerfs are coming

>>158815337
to be fair this statistic is a wee bit credulous seeing there are only 7k games played seeing he's banned nearly every single game.

Speaking of HONORABU SAMURAI, when is he dropping to 10k? This Tuesday/Wednesday?

>>158815717
Should be tuesday

>>158815604
>>158815708
Mostly as a joke, I couldn't even get any real information because the site has a weird anti-adblocker thing going on. But I think more than his win-rate it's pretty crazy that he has more games banned than the second most popular character has games period.

Quick match, which I play almost exclusively, isn't nearly as bad as it was during the first week. Probably because people are actually killing his ultralisks instead of letting them chew up our squishy dudes.

Just for the hell of it, since Samuro introduced undetectable as a mechanic to the game should more characters have it? Maybe Dehaka could actually use his stealth burrow to escape/reposition instead of having it to sneak attack out of the bushes. Should Nova's decoy give her an undetectable charge so she can fire off a shot alongside her decoy without revealing herself? Maybe people could play some gimmicky snipemaster/anti-armor games instead of picking one in the chamber 100% of the time.

Also, voting for teamates when it does literally fucking nothing. Especially since that one guy with one vote will ALWAYS be assumed to be him voting for himself, you should at least be able to see who votes for whom.

>158726782
Here's my hotdogs, I guess. I haven't uploaded in a while, but here. I'm utter trash, I know, but there ya go. I just think 4 wins out of 22 games is absurd. I can't be bad enough that matchmaking can't handle it.

>>158819048
You can enjoy close/seesaw matches even if you lost, I GUESS. Unfortunately those are rare, so the only thing they get from this telemetry is "people like winning".

>>158819048
It never asks me to vote on the aspect that actually bothered me.

Nobody works together?
>How was your connection?

Connection is garbage.
>How would you rate the map?

>>158819048
Likewise, "Rate your experience playing this character" is always 1 star. Why would you ever tell Blizzard that your favorite character is great and doesn't need any buffs or changes?

Even Alarak who is my most favorite character in the whole game by a mile needs huge buffs on his lightning and ult. If I can clearly see dudes in the fog for whatever reason I should be able to lightning them and slow the guy I'm chasing by 70% instead of accidentally pathing to my death. And if I'm lucky enough for counterstrike to go off with people in the strike zone it shouldn't be interruptable during the cast time of the actual attack.

>this is a button for Blizzcon

Innkeeper in HoTS confirmed.

>>158820409
He had a toy on the gear store forever.

>>158819853
I haven't played with or against him too much but his real problem seems to be being slow with little to no chase/escape.

>>158820667
I'm no pro either but it really depends on what talents you take.
That level 1 push distance gives you a pretty decent range dash to get out of trouble and the slow or range on telekinesis gives you a lot of control. Lightning's 70% slow is super good but the targetting is incredibly finnicky and it's still so thin that you'll hardly ever hit with it. You could telekinesis a guy into position for it, but if you're in the position to do that you might as well silence them and take a big chunk out of their health while you're at it.

Is there anything better than painting the map with tons of creep?

>>158822009
Stupid trait minigames are half the reason I play this game. Fuck, even Arthas's trait seems so fun just because I have to just keep it in mind if I don't want to run out of mana.

Creep is wonderful.

How would you buff gazlowe for high levels but nerf him for low level play?

>>158823759
50% at 23.9% popularity isn't busted. He probably just needs to be a bit bulkier and maybe give him a talent to be able to place turrets at a certain distance away from him.

>>158823759
buff his survivability, maybe give him a cleanse, undetectable stealth on turrets

Wrong approach to their own gameplay
The Dunning-Kruger effect has become notorious with the rise of MOBAs and online gaming in general. By definition, it is a cognitive bias wherein unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate.
We all hear about the low MMR player who is destined for greatness but gets matched with terrible monkey teammates against Jesus on five computers. Of course, it has been proven in practice, that you cannot blame your team for your losses. And the justification is simple.
In MOBAs, ELO/MMR boosting is an amazing industry gathering a lot of money. If you can pay a guy to boost your account to high MMR, it means that a person of certain skill and knowledge, capable of winning the game, does exist and it isn’t the team that sucks, it is you.
In order to get the grasp of your mistakes, you can watch your replays. Contrary to your belief, you are not flawless and you have a lot to improve on. As you do, the team will suddenly become better. But bottom line it is you, not the teams, that got better.

>>158827138
All well and good but posts like this always ignore match-making. Very frequently (especially in HotS) you get players on your team that are far lower MMR/rank than you. The game does this to try and "balance" it out. So the higher MMR you are, the lower (on average) pubs you'll get. And finally another point people tend to ignore; the impact of a poor player is more significant than a good player.

>>158824810
How is a ghost supposed to laugh senpai?

>>158815337

>>158790902
All true

>>158827776
yes the game uses your rank to put you in fair matches, aka ones that it thinks you have a 50% chance of winning

if you're better than the game is, you will win more than 50% and your rank will rise

if the game's estimation of your skill is accurate, you will win about half, lose about half, and stay at your current ranking until you actually increase in skill

I dunno. Numbers aside, playing against him doesn't feel near as broken as playing against other new-release heroes like Li-Ming or Tracer when they first hit.
But then, I've been playing mostly Malfy lately and unless he's got help, he's mostly just a nuisance.

>>158819287
As long as my team doesn't play like a bunch of retards and start whining and accusing everyone else of sucking whenever they do something stupid, I can be perfectly happy with a game, even if I lose.
Those hardly ever happen, of course. Especially not on the weekends.

>>158829213
But... but... forced 50! The game totally knows when you're on a win streak and knowingly pairs you with retards just so you lose a bunch in a row! This guy totally said so on his blog so it must be legit!

It's strange, I've won the majority of my samuro matches (sitting at 71.4% win rate with him) but it's rare that I feel I've been the carry. It's more like I be super annoying then disappear and take a few camps. More often than not I just end up being the bait that my team uses to crush the enemy team while I run away.

Samuro has a mix of the WC2 and WC3 orc theme. Varian has the Stormwind theme playing when you summon him in HS also. So it's not unlikely we'll hear it in HotS.

I've been getting a lot of bad Gul'Dan's lately. Is he just really hard to play or are people just not trying very hard?

I've seen them start draining a Kerrigan. You know, Kerrigan, the character who has an incredible stun on a delayed cast.

Memes aside tracer isn't all that bad, but Zarya is a total flop, bland character with terrible gameplay taking away resources and a 3+ weeks wait for an actual hero to come out. She's basically filler. They could at the very least gave her the olympics skin so she would look a bit more like a human sometimes.

>>158860401
Wait, I thought everyone here admitted he was a good guy in WC3 and that them making him evil was complete bullshit and didn't make sense. Now you're arguing the opposite?

>>158860917
WC3 Illidan was a well-written anti-hero with actual flaws whose heart was in the right place, but was constantly going about things in a darker, more dangerous way. Notable drinking the fel Kool-Aid to fight the demons and the ending of TFT shows him like he's given in to the demonic presence and is serving the Legion. Which is where Burning Crusade picks up, with him as a villain and serving the Legion and we have Akama and Maiev there telling us he's evil and must be stopped.
Even the recent Illidan book, which is pretty bad, still shows him as a fanatic who is willing to do a lot of brutal things to accomplish his goals.
What we're being shown in the new expansion is just horrible dick sucking that says he was never wrong and he's the mary sue who is going to save the universe.

>>158861513
He was never even for once evil, misunderstood, yes, but not evil.

>>158866818
Sure, he's decent. Better to play heroes you actually like than "m-muh meta!1!" Two reasons being this game is casual as fuck and the game is decently balanced. Not like one support is god-tier while another is absolutely worthless.

I'm reading the Illidan novel right now and Maiev is the most onedimentional character ever, like she is even too onedimentional by warcraft standards.

>>158884831
Have you ever played WC3?
Her skills are the most satisfying shit I've ever personally experienced in video games, the blink will in no way remain the same, sadly, but the fan of knives had a superb feeling to it and I hope it will stay like that if they are to release her.

>>158884389
In terms of things I complain about in this game, the enemy team is rarely one of them.

>>158885295
Nah, I can only read about it so sorry if I'm ignorant. I know dota has a girl based off the warden but she really only has the slowing dagger and blink. Their take on fade, being invisible on the map, could be really cool in hots instead of yet another stealth character.

Going to buy him when he hits 10k. Any tips? I was thinking of mastering illusion heroic but his bladestorm is mostly a "press R and win"

>people actually play the worst game in the
MOBA genre
wow, real games must be too tough

>>158926665
It's not really press R to win since it doesn't do a ton of damage and is more there to secure kills on people who get a bit too far away or for groups. Illusion master is probably good but I'm stupid and I think I'd lose more mmr trying to learn how to use it than it is worth. Most of the talents are purely take the highest picked on hotslogs but I do think press the attack is much nicer than harsh winds generally, it lets you melt tanks and stutterstep a lot more efficiently. Harsh winds bonus will often be wasted too since if you had a crit up it won't count for the crit and if you illusion right after the hit they'll often have run away before you can get the most out of the damage bonus.

Blind. AoE and/or good single-target burst. Detection.

A tip; it's usually better to attack than to run. Too many people try to run away too many times.

>>158935083

She is getting a LOT better. At first I'm going to be honest, she was ugly, but since SHE started transitioning it got a lot better. So so right now, but miles, MILES better than what SHE was before.

Everytime I see HER in these girly pajamas I want to jump on her to destroy that delicious boypussy. One thing I don't know though is that if SHE is dating someone. I seriously hope that SHE isn't one of these disgusting "but I'm actually a lesbian" Chris Chan kinds. Now THAT would be a crushing disappointments.
