>tfw start using Counter-strike at 10
Now THIS is maximum memes. It easily (especially at later levels) deals ~50% of most heroes' life. Twice in one game I got a 5-man Counter-strike and it absolutely fucking obliterates.

>>162678101
Low player-base. Lack of MMR/Rank decay. Easily abuseable. Able to duo and solo but nothing else. The awful queueing logic. A Master can't queue with a bronze but usually gets placed with and/or against bronze. Overall the entire ranking system is nigh-meaningless and is a joke. Oh and the whole "one bad player has a larger impact than one good player" is painfully true and damaging.

It's of no wonder many players don't care or try about winning or learning. Why bother? Keep your MMR/rank lower so you get placed with higher MMR/rank so they can do all the work.

whats the best course of action against a greymane if you are a squishy melee? Mainly Xul, Greymane's tend to bully me because there is little I can really do besides bone prison, bone armor, and run and hope.

Xul does badly 1v1 against heroes that can dive him, especially early game.

Just avoid them 1v1 and focus on fucking them over in team fights.

>>162682005
Yeah that's what I try to do. I guess Xul is just bad for solo QM. Hard to get a teammate to switch lanes with me.

I was just hoping there was somethng I was missing.

All you can do is hope you get a map like Towers, Shrines, or Blackheart.

I guess this is what happens when you queue up for ranked a day before the season ends.

>>162681872
>Mainly Xul, Greymane's tend to bully me because there is little I can really do besides bone prison, bone armor, and run and hope.

You are now aware that your W greatly decreases attack speed
You should also know that greymane works on an attack speed buff that goes away if he doesn't keep attacking, and you happen to have a talent that grants you evasion

>>162682280
Neither, and that's why I played a lot of Xul, especially into melee Heroes reliant on basic attacks, like Butcher, Thrall, Illidan and Greymane.

Just curious as to when and how you're having trouble. Not here to flame, or anything.

>>162681872
>>162682087
Xul is great in solo QM. In particular, for 1v1ing a Greymane, Backlash over Shade is the way to go. Either way your bone shield will be going down due to his swipes, so with Backlash not only is it a shield, but it's 15% of his max health fucking gone after he breaks it, which makes up for Xul's lack of burst damage ability. If the fight is in a middle of a lane, there's no way his minions die and don't become skeletons. He'll then need to deal with 15% of his health gone, plus whatever your melees and Q did to him, and minions and skellies. Yeah, you might lose a decent amount of health, but after 7 that means nothing with the skeleton heal, and he's getting just as punished as you are.

So anyway, never underestimate Backlash, I fucking love that talent.

Since the game is dead until tomorrow let's make a new patch note 1 line at at time, I'll start:

Tracer:

>Price reduced to 2000

>>162683491
Is jaina going to be reduced? awesome.

>>162682280

His waveclear for that map is only good if you are losing. His strength is in skeleboning up two lanes and AA slow/root for teamfights.

>>162683407

As a support you will be focused a lot, especially in solo queue.

Malf is mostly the same though. The new meta is going Twilight Dream instead of healing ult because of mana regen and huge value in silence.

>>162683720
Wasn't she reduced from 10,000 to 4,000?

How else does it determine rank? I was pretty much support the entire time with Malfurian or bw

>>162686858
I'm pretty sure it's based on Unranked/QM mmr.

So, if you play, say, 500 Quick Matches, and win 240 of them, you probably won't get Platinum, even going positive in Placements. Could be horribly wrong though.

I don't know, actually. It was inevitable he would get a rework, though. Either because he couldn't "main tank" or because he was too oppressive at low mmrs.

>>162698226
>taste for blood
questionable
>demonic invasion
doesn't synergize with the former, but usually a fine pick until you reach mmrs at which your splits can be countered by globals

Azmo's W and E builds along with Demonic Invasion feel like S tier until at least Gold. Wish somebody good did a tier list by league/mmr.

Anub got buffed a bit, he's a nice tank if you have a dive comp. He isnt a must but he isnt bad either, he's a stun machine and that alone helps peeling shit.

Anub is fine.

Why do you lie about placements /hotsg? Those are the most important matches you will play all season. Season before last I ended at Diamond 3, went 2 - 8 in placements thanks to the usual shitpicks and got placed in Plat 3. Thats a whole division.
Stop lying you bastards

>>162708952

the placement matches just modify it by +/- a few ranks.

Yes, they're the most influential and I'm not sure why people insist they don't matter. Well, in a sense they don't, but they definitely have the potential to save a ton of time.

Probably more heath and damage starting then change the health and damage more at ult selection, he isn't even a hero before 10 so you get behind early since it's 4v5.

>>162711217
I have a buddy that likes playing Aba, so we often get good games going in unranked. Isnt playing Aba kinda risky if you dont have anyone you trust to move well?
In unranked I started just hovering Gazlowe every game, works pretty well most times.

>>162711528
Aba need someone to go off of. I had many games where he would try to stick to one guy but he would waste it so the game pretty much became a 5v4.

>>162711748
All of those sound incredibly boring. Garithos would never live up to his campaign appearance in this day and age.

>>162711528
Yes, at least that's how he feels. It wasn't really about winning in my situation, though.

>>162711825
why not? garrosh is basically the orc version of garithos and his story was developed recently

>>162710540

He's a great in double tank comps, it's just people see one tank and it's dps time.

Some people are such babies in this game.

Anyone know how the reworked teamleague is going to work?
Assuming I queue duo, get matched with a 3 queue against a 5 stack. Is it like in unranked that the 5 stack is going to have a significantly lower mmr?
I like them trying to get TL going but Im not sure about allowing 5 stacks.

Guys, how can I actually get placed in bronze? I tried loosing all the placements and I still end up in gold 5....

I genuinely want that portrait

>>162715764
Lose all ten again, perhaps?
Say, what was the rank of the players in your last few games? Also gold, or bronze-silver?

>>162714613
Though it's true that Zagara isn't the bully she used to be, now she will lose a 1v1 lane against pretty much anyone

Just make sure you lose at least 7 in a row like i did for season 2. If you're not even trying like I did, you'll get autolock novas/zeratuls out the ass and won't even have to try for bronze.

I love my forced coinflip, just as the balance devs demand. : ^)

>>162715854
It started of as dia 4 and at the end it was gold 3. Guess I'll try loosing another 10 in new season. The thing is, some games were very close and my team almost won practically 4v5 despite me trying my hardest to sabotage it.

So I'm not sure if I will manage to do it again. Would this be easier in TL with full group? Does TL have separate MMR or does it still draw average from QM/HL?

My smurf account journey began at Silver III-V
Ended at Diamond III 500 points

Zz. My team pulled off the 4v5 for the first four games, or something. Figured I'd get Gold or Silver, so just won the remaining games.

>>162716697
Yeah, definitely. Lose a few quick matches, level the 14 heroes to 5 in Vs. AI and then just lose placements. Should easily be Bronze.

Hydra does less damage and is more easily killed now, due to nerfs to both hydra and creep. Zagara herself has less life and does not constantly recc it like before, meaning if you kill hydra quickly then trade she will not come ahead anymore, at the very least you can force her to turtle behind her towers which old Zagara alnost never needed to.

Dehaka definitely is, Diablo seemed pretty good now too. I'm not sure what to think about rag since I didn't try him out, and a lot of the players seemed pretty bad who were playing him.

>>162729781
Diablo is fun and works a lot better now, coordination turns him into a monster now, rather than it being a neccesity to coordinate or be dead weight.

Dunno about the 'haka.

Ragnaros shits damage like a madman with Empower, can chase for kills incredibly well with meteor and his explosion, his waveclear is good/absolutely insane depending on your ult and being a raidboss is fun.

Looks absolutely insane at first, then you realize they really fucked up his black soulstone talents.

He'll be slightly better, but only if you're very very good at Diablo, and only if you were playing him as a solo tank both pre and post patch. I only know one master who was, so for the vast majority he's probably barely equal or worse.

Not that guy, but I had the honor to play with #51 and #21 GM in EU in unranked draft and they managed to feed 11 and 12 deaths on Diablo and Illidan respectively.

>>162744136
>2 tanks both able to pull them off him

No it is not reasonable at all to die that many times with 2 tanks, A few deaths because of lack of healer due to 2 burst characters.

>>162744210

To be fair, in GM circumstances those two heroes are bound to have high deaths in unorganized setting because they are priority targets. Illidan dies without constant support and Diablo has no escape, so going in and your team decides collectively to fuck off means you are toast.
