>missing out on veteran boxes

laffin at you

Anyone know yet what these "legendary items" are from the veteran loot boxes?

>>173099117

Basically you get assured at least 1 legendary per box, namely being an expensive thing like a legendary skin, hero, or mount. Also they have 5 items inside instead of 4.

>>173098856
So I guess with the new loot box system they'll be dropping out, I should just instalock my lowest leveled hero and powerfarm endlessly the next couple of days for free boxes right?

Or would the rewards I get for leveling those heroes up, post-2.0, be worth it more?

>>173099117
Legendary rarity skins and 10k heroes.

Hey guys I'm a big fucking retard baby could you spoonfeed me for a sec.

Is there a quick way to check what level my account will be in 2.0.

Say by, logging into the PTR? Will that convert me over proper?

Can you reroll the veteran boxes?

>>173099643
>>173100160

>New level lower than my old one

I assume this is because of the shared access.

For the people thinking about leveling low level heroes to get more hero levels, while it might be a bit faster you can always level high level heroes too since it's 1.1mil exp per level after 10 so if you get 3.3mil exp on your level 15 hero you are still gaining 3 levels even though your level 15 hero probably won't get a level off it

>>173100654
Minus 64

>>173101048
Why?

>>173101182
Base level doesn't count otherwise everyone would begin at level 64 instead of 1

>>173101048
>>173101267
Cassie's out now so 65.

Holy fuck Valeera is fun as hell

They absolutely nailed rogue gameplay

>>173099643
5 common
19 epic
1 veteran

Would've liked more, but I kind of expected it. I don't spend as much timeo n this game as the rest of you.

I tried one of those calculators and my total hero level went up by a whopping 3.

That seems awfully low, is it a safe bet that the calculator isn't working right?

>>173101491
I only have one problem with valeera, the teleport talent at lvl 13 is called death from above and not cloak and dagger .

Do NOT: Level anyone from 8 to 9
Do NOT: Level anyone from 10 to 11

Pretty much don't play at all is the best bet. For optimal loot boxes. Wait for the 3 weeks to go bye. At most do your dailies & weekly brawl so you can get re-rolls and thats it.

I only have 45k gold banked but:
I bought a 20k gold mount (Blackheart's Doubloon)
I have 3 Master skins (Morales, Auriel, and Johanna)
I jumped the gun on 3 heroes and bought them at 15k (Morales, Xul, and Lucio)
I'm pretty sure I missed two weeks of Brawl
So that's 65k~67k gold I'd have if I were utterly transfixed on my practical spending

Oh, but I did forget that I have Xul's master skin as well, so, add another 10k onto that pile.

>>173104875
I definitely got the blizzcon one just to cuck those who bought the ticket back in the day, and I'm never going to use it.

Stopped playing for a bit too long and started falling behind in gold.

newly updated info:
http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20638785/flaunt-your-hero-prowess-with-hero-mastery-taunts-3-31-2017

On Master Skins

When we originally added master skins to Heroes of the Storm, they were intended to be a low effort gold sink to reward ourselves. However, when users evaluated master skins, everyone with an above room temperature IQ realized that. There were several places where we could make improvements.

Master skins created situations where players had to choose between unlocking an old hero or unlocking new hero, which was a battle that heroes won far more often. Additionally, if casual players purchased a master skin during our beginner level gold trap, they'd then soon have little gold. This meant they couldn't visually display their prowess with a hero in-game if there was a non-master skin they liked better, because they became discouraged and quit altogether rather than paid up for heroes.

These issues combined resulted in far fewer players unlocking and using master skins in-game than we had expected. Most players who had access to master skins did not unlock them, and most players who did unlock them would not primarily use that skin during their matches. Most players who didn't use that skin still valued the collecting experience, achievement, and in-game pride only an exclusive skin could provide, but that is not important.

In Heroes 2.0, we decided to move to a new system we hopes works better for us so that you don’t have to make those difficult decisions.

You get two crates on those levels post 2.0. 12 is safe because you don't lose anything but a common drops and the xp rate has already slowed down.

You basically got it. 10 and 12 are the least 'special' levels, thus I deem them mathematically safe.

She seems to be a solid choice. Her weakness is her low HP, but her trait bolsters that. She brings great CC to the table, her blind is like a miniature version of Artanis' ult, her talents are great, her ults work well. I'd give her a high tier ranking.
Mages can ruin her day, though. Don't draft into her against Kael'thas.

>>173123705
only blizzard knows. they show little math aside from the guaranteed drops. it's likely they changed nothing in reality on their side.

>but what happens if you have commond chest and get a random leg item in it? if you reroll will you get also a leg, or likely just common item instead?
Rerolling a legendary out of a common chest means it gets rerolled. There are no guarantees of any quality.

League wanted to jump on Cho'Gall wagon and released their pair-hero.

http://oce.leagueoflegends.com/en/featured/champion-xayah-rakan-reveal

It's AA Probius and Kharazim that have literally ONE skill synergy between them and can even be taken seperately in a match. Because it would be too strange to force them to always be together. Fuckin crystal paladin guy has more synergy with their carry.

Fucking up the concept aside, pure skillset-wise they both look fun. I'd love to see this chick's boomerang playstyle in HotS and Blizz could make the "lover's theme" much more coherent with maybe Alleria and Turalyon

OK, for fuck's sake, I suck at Diablo in QM too much, he's frustrating as fuck to play, he can't do shit against a bunched-up enemy team, I have shit damage, I just run around the map feeling helpless, and always die because I feel like I always have to engage.

What am I doing wrong? How do I not hang myself levelling him?

>>173134830
You're taking the encounters completely wrong if that's what''s happening. If you lack the understanding of combat pacing especially in teamfights, Diablo's going to cause you to Q dive into suicide every time. It's all about understanding how the game works.

Basically, just keep playing.

>>173134830
>he can't do shit against a bunched-up enemy team
He can press R.
>I have shit damage
He is a tank.
>I feel like I always have to engage
Stop engaging with Q as it sends you a mile out of position. Engage properly by running in, grabbing someone with Overpower, and then Qing them out of position.
If they're all running away from you, then good. They are not committing and must scatter before your bulk.

>>173135020
>>173135157
There are usually no teamfights when I'm around, it's just me alone or with someone else, against 4 or 5 advancing enemies. I have no way to engage and the rest of the team is always fucking around somewhere else. This is happening consistently in my Diablo games.

You should learn to build talents then.

Done right, you can blind the enemy team for a stupid amount of time. 10s+

>>173135324
Then you and whoever is with you are out of positioning.

In fact, positioning can explain every problem youre having.

Dont engage with Q until 16 when you get Domination (E resets Q CD) UNLESS you can check someone into a wall and E them off it into your teams loving arms.

Until 16 you bodyblock and wait for the enemy to overextend at which point you E -> Q them away from their team so that yours can burn them down.

Youre Diablo, not Thrall. You cant just dive and blow people up on a whim.

Auriel revives one person over three seconds in melee range

Mercy is an instant, ranged, full team revive.
and if they give her a nerfed version, Auriel already does it. Marcy may as well be a Auriel skin.

>>173140023
Mercy resurrects everyone? The fuck?

Anyway, almost certainly Mercy would just be a skin for Auriel. They're far too similar in design.

>>173139821

Mercy players fucking suck in OW because they're cunts who wait for that sick ass 5 man revive that never happens all game long rather than just reviving 2-3 people at a time all the time. Or they are homo healsluts. Or someones girlfriend healing only their boyfriend soldier/pharah/rein

FUCK Mercy players.

>>173140269
Mercy has pretty much nothing in common with Auriel beyond resurrection as an ultimate ability. She's more similar to Morales with the single target high-HoT heal beam.
Visually, she's a huge distance from Auriel by merit of having a face and completely different weapon.

Everyone jumps to "similar appearance--only gets skin" because of Widowmaker, but no. Widowmaker and Nova are nearly identical in body shape, hairstyle, weaponry, and clothing.

>>173140854
Angel-ish, check. Healer, check. Resurrects, check. Hope and Mercy.

>>173139984
Looks like 6 or 7 veteran chests to me

>>173141017
>Angel-ish, check.
The only one vaguely relevant, and yet, it's meaningless. Raynor and Tychus exist in this game. Rehgar and Thrall exist. Sylvanas and Tyrande exist. Characters can look similar without an issue so long as they are distinct, and Mercy's "angel-ish" design is completely distinct from Auriel, who's flowing cord of hope, hood, and LACK OF FUCKING FACE set her apart from the staff wielding and not-literally-hovering-at-all-times Mercy.
>Healer, check
Less than meaningless. Auriel doesn't heal in any way even resembling Mercy.
>Resurrects, check
Irrelevant. Two heroes are allowed to do the same thing.

>>173139287
Uther still remains one of my most played heroes from back in the day when he was relevant.

I'd like to see a different kind of resurrection ability that gives you a limited time window to resurrect everyone in the radius back at 10% health, giving the team another chance to quickly back the hell out and defend if the enemy didn't stick around to defend the area.

I just don't think it'll be happening any time soon. The next OW support would probably be the sniper bitch.

What will you be opening first? Common chests, epic chests or veteran chests?

What are you rerolling and now many times?

At first it was just a hunch, but I'm becoming more and more convinced. Do HOTS players just not understand defensive gameplay at all? There seems to be no grasp of splitting, counterpushing, freezing, dedicated siege, map control, anything. Does it get better at level 40/higher MMR?

>>173143251

People generally play this game like a casual smash brothers and just throw themselves into shit. The fact that sometimes it works and they win creates bad habits in low level play.

It does get better at higher rank, but QM will always be a disaster slugfest because it's random as fuck.

>>173142982
Common chests, then one veteran chest for the novelty, then the epic chests, then I'll decide if I want to open the veteran chests now or cook them for the hero after Genji's release.

>>173142982
Common first, then epic and veteran last. Might get lucky on the lower quality ones and get legendaries I want so I can reroll for something else on the veteran legendaries

>>173143378
If I'm not mistaken it's more profitable to open the lower tier crates first.

>>173143020
People below Diamond 2 can't play this game and this is me being generous.

Is it now possible for me to play normally again with the veteran boxes update or should i still keep my level low?

>>173143576
It can be very profitable to level up before 2.0. Fill out the google spreadsheet thingy, and find out whether you're near a milestone and which heroes you can safely level.

>>173143576

Just play. You get boxes either way.

>>173142982

Will probably do max rerolls on vets

Imagine opening 100 commons/rares, odds are you'd have 1-3 legendaries that you can't re-roll. Then you start opening the veteran crates and if you happen to get the same item you have the choice to either reroll or just take the shards, depends which you're going for. Same applies for epic crates.

>>173143948
I'm specifically talking about that one particular shitter on the team every so often, seemingly the amount of them has increased recently, the one who has no idea how the simpliest core mechanics work, how the maps play, how and when to use abilities and move and attack and when to fucking not go back into the base or go for mercs when the win is right there.

>>173143513
>I'll decide if I want to open the veteran chests now or cook them for the hero after Genji's release.
if they're like Overwatch's crates (they will be) then their contents are decided when you get them, not when you open them, so you can't bank them for future releases.

>>173143513
You can't save crates, they're tied to the date you obtain them.

Though, you could stop playing for 2 additional weeks.

So if you got a Dehaka legendary skin from the veteran chest and then opened a common chest after it, you also had the choice to re-roll it into another legendary? No, you do not.

>>173145139

Just win 3 games and get to diamond if youre so good

>>173145441
I'm only rerolling if it contains skins or heroes I don't want.
If it's shards or a good skin/new hero, I'll take it no rerolls required.

...Even more reason to open commons first, if you want a guaranteed re-roll chance to get the shards.

>>173145637
Transcendence is pretty shit. I think it might be ok for PvE heavy maps, but overall Insight is better because you get both the heals AND high mana/mobility, rather than just mediocre heals.

Holy shit, are you that retard that sperged out having to take the terror as murky and then suicided with it doing absolutely nothing and then went on an autistic rant for an hour and a half in the /vg/ chat?

>>173143658
Tried that spreadshit (both) and they are read only for me. Also i dont understand the

Right now i am lvl ~250

Need that maximum profit.

Ah, fuck me and this rotation


Why the fuck does the Butcher have to be fun? Is he just a pubstomper?

>Insight is better because you get both the heals AND high mana/mobility, rather than just mediocre heals.
Maybe I'm just building him like a tard then. I went into deadly reach talents in the theory that more fast fists = short cooldowns = more heals.
Not sure where the rest of my talent choices are supposed to go though, other than the spirits, they're pretty clear cut choices.

There's a special double crate drop (common + heroic) at 8 and a half or so.

The problem with Transcendence vs Iron Fist is that they can be compared to each other to begin with, where transcendence should be focusing on supporting your team, and Iron Fist on dealing more damage.

They should buff Transcendence heals, but make it only apply for team mates. That way you get way more free heals for when that is needed, but it would still make it situational, although viable in those situations.

If you play safe and learn how to be patient, you will automatically be better than 99% of Butcher players.
He becomes a monster threat late game and with Lambs to the Slaughter, can easily take out someone in a teamfight, which is vital for that point of the game. A coordinated team could probably stop him.
Which means sure play him in Hero League.

Also, thousands of gems short. The gem rewards are not retroactive, and that is the real money currency in 2.0.

Whom do i play freely without losing crates ? I am not very bright

>>173148803
No rush, anon, hero purchases will remain the same after 2.0, but don't do mounts regardless.

>The gem rewards are not retroactive
The 2.0 page says they are.

>>173149142
>whom
Anyway, you'll be losing crates with every 500k-1mil exp you gain. You can play anyone under 11 and over 9, just don't level up.

You can also play anyone 7 and under, but each level up will cost you a crate. Honestly, it mightbe worth it now that they're giving us epic crates every 10 levels.

>>173149239
The 1000 gem starter reward to lure you in as a customer will be given to everyone above level 5, but the 150 gems every 15 levels is not retroactive. Basically 2000+ gems right there.

This will only hurt until you die

"The Charmer" & "The Rebel"

So did the dude seduce the girl and she went with it because she's a rebel?

I always feel so useless on Probius, like I'm wasting so much dmg waiting for those perfect detonations. I know I should spam W whenever I can, because even if it doesn't explode it's still utility. But what about Q? Use it for dmg, or hold on? What build? I practically every match go with cannon talents on 1 and 7 to make it not useless.

Thanks

Maybe if we spam the QA enough we can get blizzard to cave into updating Arthas' model too
