Any ideias to improve ranked?

Some problems come to the low playerbase, but still, any ideias to make matchmaking better so it can attract competitive players?

I'm trying to think some but its hard, the game design is pretty casual with the whole shared xp and limited build, taking those things away would be too much for the core of the playerbase

Blizz is clearly investing a lot in this game on this upcoming year, and will continue to thrive on forcing the game to the competitive side, while this game can be fun and competitive in a 5v5 cenario, on pugs environment, it just feels like individual skill by itself can't really carry the spotlights ( or victory itself )

>TL;DR
D̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶i̶g̶n̶o̶r̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶n̶i̶g̶g̶e̶r̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶r̶e̶a̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶l̶e̶ ̶p̶o̶s̶t̶,̶ ̶i̶t̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶o̶

Give your suggestions to make ranked attractive to competitive players, without removing shared xp

dear /hotsg/

i want you all to know that it is possible, and usually a good idea, to diverge from the comp of "1 tank, 1 support, 3 ranged assassins"

thank you for your time

I just finished my placement matches and got into Diamond 5, is Plat and Diamond the norm? I feel like I'm really average when it comes to skill.

>>160079219
The games themselves are around 20 minutes, if that's what you mean. Leaver queue tends to have longer queue times than normal queues, though.

>>160075261
if your enemies are competent, yea
the only ones that dont really matter are 4 and 7
I mean sometimes you do just have to fight because you will lose otherwise, the coin thing being an example but if its gotten to that point youve sort of been put into a check mate position long beforehand

Literally the only thing that needs to be done is soloq, which is coming.
You'll be amazed at how much that fixes. Not only are there no more unbalanced duo games, but the people that would be stuck in those games are now free, and in turn everyone gets a better rating and so on.
It's a gigantic butterfly effect.

Looking to have fun for once after raging at shit like Ao Kuang and Thor with Smite. HotS seems fun and a bit more casual, so even if i'm not too fond of the shared xp and the lack of items i think i'll try it. What do i need to know before playing? I like bruisers who have survivability but still can output damage, which Heroes are like that?

>>160084997
>I like bruisers who have survivability but still can output damage, which Heroes are like that?
Butcher is a bruiser with good survivability and incredible damage but he is so easily counterable it's hilarious.
He also has the "AFK farm for 20 minutes" experience you lust for.

>>160084997
Thrall (Assassin) and Butcher are sort of bruisers that are listed as Assassins.

Warriors are the "tanks" of HotS, but there's two kinds: Guardians and Bruisers. Though there's no secondary tag for side-roles, they exist.

So for Warriors that are on the Bruiser end of the spectrum:

Artanis
Sonya
Chen
Arthas
and Leoric, although Leoric is moreso an anti-tank in his design, so he's more a Warrior who's meant to be more of a threat to other Warriors, though still decently well against squishies.

>>160085597
- the (Assassin) part.

I completely changed the formatting of what I was trying to say, there. It's late,

Also, Rexxar is kind of a bruiser, but he's also kind of a Specialist, but... also a Warrior. Really depends on the person playing him, honestly.

>>160085124
>>160085597
I kinda like butcher. He seems fun and interesting and can apparently snowball decently. I'm assuming he is a top/solo laner, is that right?

I don't know if i get Thrall's kit though, seems a bit convoluted, how should it work?

I'll be checking those others too and see if anything catches my interest.

>>160085662
Rexxar could be fun, reminds me of Skadi/Art. Also why isn't Alduin a thing yet, he was my main
class on Hearthstone!

>>160086178

Butcher ins't a solo laner at all. Thrall on the other hand, is one of the strongest ones.

There are many differences between this game and other mobas, you are just scratching the surface. This guide is pretty good for other moba players:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/heroes/487437-transitioning-into-the-nexus

Word of advice though, is kinda outdated (mechanics, maps and hero reworks happened) but still helps a lot.

>give diamond 3 account to mentally ill schizophrenic low viewer russian bronze streamer billi777hard
>expect lulz
>viewers tell him account sharing is bannable
>scare him away
>he doesnt even log into the acc off stream

why is this world so shitty

>>160086178
Thrall's fairly simple.
Heal every time your abilities do damage to 5 enemies.
Q is just a point-and-click that bounces, W is a skillshot root, E is a movement steroid, Sunder is currently the only ult that matters and it's just a big dick line stun.
His other ult, Earthquake, is a massive AoE slow but Sunder is just so much better. They are buffing EQ to deal a small amount of damage to enemy heroes which means it'll proc your trait which is pretty nice.

Lunara is a shit! SHIT!

>>160084997
The upcoming hero, Varian, is apparently a pretty good bruiser. I don't know how his self-sustain is though.

Sonya is the textbook definition of what you're looking for however.

>>160084821
FARTS

>>160077356
We had a match on braxis where I got first pick sylv, then we got I think valla tyrael and lilil. Then the last pick thrall changed to etc, so we had a double tank comp. We lost so hard that game, because tyrael "I like to dive the backline" and genereal incompetence.

I guess my point is if you're sacrificing damage, the people playing need to be competent.

swaps should improve game quality. i'm not a big fan of people maining one character but it's better than having somebody at 40% WR on tank/healer randomly undermining the matchmaker.

solo queue as was said already. don't think many competitive people want to see duos. doesn't matter what the blizzshits say (lie) about fairness stats. appearances are everything.

>game design is pretty casual
cooperating and being interdependent on this games level is about as uncasual as it gets. you can obviously just take a lane and eat a sandwich but you won't get a whole lot of love for it.

>it just feels like individual skill by itself can't really carry the spotlights ( or victory itself )
it's does but people don't get to jerk off to obvious 20/0 stats on a regular basis like they do in other games. mvp gets a lot of hate but things like that make the game more interesting for people that don't get the abstract value of every second in this game.

Okay. I just kept being frustrated by one of our team members because they avoided those fights even though they felt necessary. A boss will get a keep and makes sense to defend, but stealing 30 coins will win us the game.

Any bets on Zul'jin's kit?

Literally all of his screenshots suggest he's just a stand-in for a generic WC2 troll axethrower.
I'd say a high HP regen berserker. Gameplay centric around timing when to put vulnerability/deal yourself dmg to increase your speed and when to back out to rapidly regenerate. Maybe some kind of ensnare?

Or should I just ignore pre-alpha models and they'll make him a voodoo specialist summoning Amani spirits?

>>160117358
I'd like to see one ult be amani spirits, and one ult be some sort of determination. Like, targeting an enemy and buffing your damage to that enemy, giving you lifesteal off of it, for the rest of the game.
DA ELVES TOOK MY EYE

>>160117358
>insane regeneration but low hp assassin
>picking his ult gives him a choice to either become a stronger berserking axe thrower, or literally cut off his arm and receive new melee attacks

>>160118036
Nah, I thought about regular ranged assassin HP, maybe even higher than regular. But he puts vulnerability on himself or even straight up deals dmg to himself for increased attack speed/dmg/whatever

if trolls are so good at regenerating wounds why the fuck doesn't zul'jin grow his arm and his eye back?

>>160118587
They aren't good at regen that is just troll propoganda

I've thought about it and I quite like it. But what I don't like is more auto attackers.

Chromie if you're good, Murky if you want the best master skin in the game.

>>160120227
Has anyone noticed that the master skins have been getting worse and worse with each new character released. Compare the lost vikings, anub'arak, and murky to someone like rexxar, lunara, or dehaka.

>>160120614
Nope. Some of the new Master skins are good (Samuro, Alarak, Medivh) and some old ones are absolute dog-shit.

>>160120614
Lunara's is one of the best

Dogs probably like it since they mount girls and boys on their own. Once mounted he tries to insert his dick into his partner and once he managed to do so he fucks away. Pretty soon the base of his cock starts swelling and he knots tying with whoever he's fucking and holding them in place to pump them full with his doggy cum!

From someone who is challenger on lol and gm here ( can't speak about dota ) this game is way more casual

Most of the time what separates a diamond/platinum from a GM is mostly game sense, mechanically wise they are the same, there is a lot of people on platinum that deserves to be GM but are stuck with down syndrome cunts for most of the time, and carrying in this game can be near impossible

On lol, the builds variety and mechanics in general, a challenger can consistenly carry a group of retards, on hots is nowhere near as consistent, because of a bunch of variables

When I was at Plat 3 I had a hard time, because most of my games was just praing to the RNG Gods to give me less retards on my team, when I finally made to GM, I can keep my winrate above 50% more easily because there is less retards over there

I think honestly this game can be competitively in a 5v5 cenario, thats why Blizz keeps forcing it, but in a pug environment, its hard to reward individual players when the core of the game is Team Work >>>>> Objective >>>> Win

Anyways, just what a observed with my 2 years experience in lol

>>160135630
>Criticism =/= Hating

>>160132376
Because movies

The HOTS version is more loyal to the film, even tho the HS version is the more lore-wise version of Guldan

But they need to appeal to the casual market like they had always been doing for the last decade

>>160134926
>projecting this hard when that anon's post didn't contain even one mention of the competitiveness or gameplay in lol
here, have a (You); on me

>>160136586
I like that when my team is retarded, Im only stuck with them for 25 mins rather than an hour or more.

I stopped playing dota due to hour long pain sessions.

Plus the fact that the games take half as long, you can find characters you like twice as fast.

Also Ive been out of the loop to long to remember all the item build shit, but I do wish HoTs had more talents revolving around countering shit. As it stand there are too many heros that counter heros and those heroes can't buy any items to offset those counters.

By all mean there should be counters buy things like Tracer vs Murky is retarded.

>>160136586
I really can't agree with the mechanical part. Some people are fucking wizards and it really shows, just like in your general moba. The shared xp is a tradeoff, you're literally able to keep the whole team afloat, not just yourself like in LoL. Not sure which one I'd prefer just yet, but I'd also like more options to reward individual performance.

The ranking system shit is where you're right, where it throws you with shit players and having to struggle with them but I don't see how that's different from any other game of this type. Maybe this game is truly meant to be played in a full five stack team.

Anyone else been getting really awful lag spikes/stutters since the Samuro patch?

It works based on ingame interactions and lore.

I'm probably gonna buy this guy next. Though, I feel I don't get to pick him very often because he's a melee support and we usually have enough melee.

It's like 10 pages of sexy chinese cartoons and then back to 3 months of story panels.

Damnit incase, I just want to fap.

Why is Reghar so popular in ranked below plat? He is complete utter garbage, yet I've seen many many people take him, and they even have a master skin and all. Did they not get the memo that he hasn't been OP for quite a while now?
Same thing with Kael and Diablo.

Reaper
>Basic Attack: Hellfire Shotguns, very short ranged, high damage
>Q: Shadowform, become invulnerable and gain increased move speed for 3 seconds
>W: Shadow Step, medium range teleport that works via line of sight
E: Soul Harvest, passive. Health gems can be retried from further away and restore health/mana instantly instead of over time.
>R1: Death Blossom. Deal a large amount of damage in a circle around yourself
>R2: ?

Pls rate

>>160164073
could it be that some people just like to play some characters? also,

Pretty amusing, actually. People talking about Valla and then the faggot getting blown out tries to change the subject.

I wish D2 Druid was in HotS already. Been playing a Wind Druid in D2, making me wish for him in HotS. While I love Xul, that motherfucker needed more in common with the actual Necromancer.

This.
We still can't recover from the damage done by the event.

>>160170257
But the HotS team consists of the only people still willing to give at least a bit of a shit about Diablo.

>>160169741
This is why you're still in silver.
There's no MMR hell, you're just incredibly dumb and possibly autistic.
