Do you think there would be more players if they implemented a surrender option?
>>182207241
No. Quitting too early is the most cancerous aspect of playing with people from other games. I don't know how many fuckers I've had afk two levels down instead of playing better.
Enabling quitters will kill this shit.
First for beachbutt bestbuttwho takes it in the butt
Shame we couldn't have this skin.
>>182207451
Her skins are all so terrible too.
>>182207451
Remember "Johanna's" (actually Anajinn before Jo replaced her as the 'iconic', unlike liming / valla) Master encouraged her apprentice to pursue casual sex, because it violates none of the crusader vows - even the ones the apprentice had yet to swear - and crusading is a tough job. Comfort, pleasure and love need to be taken where they're offered.Just don't get knocked up, that stops the crusade
It might honestly be impossible to win with this useless piece of shit

They will never ever add a resource stealing hero, They said that design was oppressive and anti-fun and not counterable.
>>182208058
You can't be bad with him.
>>182208435
Dota had issues with it, League had issues with it. Demon hunter in warcraft 3 was absolutely fucking absurdly powerful because of it.
It sounds like a "fun" idea, but it either screws people or is totally useless.
Beyond that the spellbreaker would just be an anti-magic warrior/assassin with a ranged attack and fuck knows what for abilities (stealing summons?)

Reminder that if your entire team quits the game then you wont get penalties and your core explodes giving your opponent a free victory.
>>182208684
Blizz hate mana burn/drain and remove it from priest and warlock in wow because the same reason anti fun no counter etc.
LoL never had any champion with mana burn and they said the same thing like blizz anti fun and no counter.
i only play dota 1 and i still remember how Magina can delete your mana from 100 to 0, I wonder how did dota 2 handle magina, lion, nerubian assassin and other hero with mana burn ?
>enjoy probius a lot because buildin' little fuck hovels for enemies to wander into is fun

>>182209252
Easy, by making mana not matter because le ADC meme and supports being utility item whores and teamfights lasting 0.1 seconds

Don't put rifts where people are, put them where they want/need to be to have good position and punish them for entering no-no zones.

>>182209252
>LoL never had any champion with mana burn and they said the same thing like blizz anti fun and no counter.
Wits end (an item) used to do manaburn. 24 manaburn, 24 damage, and some magic resist. They came to the conclusion that it was useless against the things it was supposed to be good vs (mages) because their mana pools were too high, but against warriors / ADC's / etc it was ridiculously powerful cause it could delete most of your mana pool in a few attacks.
>Blizz hate mana burn/drain and remove it from priest and warlock in wow because the same reason anti fun no counter etc.
It just wasn't a good mechanic in wow. There used to be all sorts of tricks to get around mana issues, like having a shitton of +healing, a bunch of mp/5 gear and downranking spells, so you were using your level 1 heal that cost 20 mana, healed for 40 but with +800 healing and 50 mp/5 and you'd just spam-cast that and it would heal for 840 and you'd literally never run out of mana.
>>182208684

There are other things they could do while still being true to their anti-magic nature.

They never got rid of them since most mana burn effects don't play a major role in the laning phase. And when they do, they're essentially another form of burst damage.
>holy fucking team is utter shit
this sucks
>>182211886
>>182209865
The problem with those ideas (while novel) is that is very hard to convey what exactly has occurred in a meaningful manner, or feel its impact at all.
It's "invisible" power, and thus it would be extremely undervalued by the community, except at the very top where it would probably mess with illidan/genji mains who have every cooldown memorized.

Anon from a thread or so ago who asked about Alarak here
Is there anything more based in this game right now? I'm consistently performing well and getting glorious wins and my character flames my allies and enemies for me.
Could it be any more based?
>Alarak announcer when
>>182212357
NOOOOOVA
>>182212357
wall>archon you bronze shitter
I really like playing heroes that "facilitate" for their team. Tass forcewall, stitches, Diablo, Artanis. Heroes that can really spell it out for the team "KILL THIS JAINA I HAVE HOOKED HER GOOD"
"KILL THE MALFURION I HAVE PRISMED HIM OUT OF POSITION"
"USE THIS DOOR IT WILL FREE YOU FROM HARM"
It is all the more frustrating when your team is too fucking retarded to see you basically offering a free fucking win and just focus fucking DVA or some shit.
>>182212162
I don't see anything wrong with having a hero that is only appreciated by highly skilled players. We already have medivh.
>>182212940
>Archon when the enemy team has 3 melees and no supports and we already have a shitload of damage and a Jaina
>>182212886
They have found a way to stealth during draft. Tyrande would also not heal teammates before fights because it would break her stealth and "waste her ult, she needed to scout". WHEN WE HAVE TASSADARS FUCKING ORACLE AND OWLS! She was out of position every goddamn fight trying to Nova kill the backline.
>>182213235
Meant to type teleports, not supports. They had Auriel
Archon is the ult that would be good if you went for one of the other level 1 talents. Instead of jumping from good damage to slightly better damage you would be jumping from literally no damage to actually-can-contribute-to-teamfight damage.
The problem is that blizzard are a bunch of hacks who can't balance talents and the other level 1 quests are 5 million times worse than focused beam.
>>182213672
ok bronzie
I fucking hate valeera players
I hope you all get lined up against a wall and shot.
play a balanced character for once in your life
>>182214373
Is this a meme or is this real? I just returned to hots after a two year break. I never see her played in HL or competitive games, so what's up with valeera?
>>182214491
Stealth heroes kill people in QM and low MMR matches.
Every stealth hero has suffered massive nerfs because of all of the complaining they cause, despite the fact that Zeratul is the only one to see high end play simply because his ultimate is a fight reset button.
>>182214491
maybe anon's made about losing because his teammates pick the shittiest stealthie instead of just taking zeratul
>>182214491
She pubstomps bads that are out of touch with reality. "OMG VALEERA CAN LIKE 1SHOT ANYBUDYZ" even at her peak with all of her best damage talents she couldn't do more than like 1800 damage in a single rotation at level 20.
Same shit with samuro and nova. endless whining until they get nerfed because they smash bronzies too hard.
>>182214373
>valeera goes 0-0-4 and feeds
>now in demotion game
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
At this point they should just change all stealth heroes so that they always have the revealed visual effect, but still gives the added bonus of won't show up on minimap and nonheroic units won't attack you.
Still allowed to make sneaky rotations and gank people under forts, but now they don't give qm players a false sense of being overpowered, the game doesn't ever tell you that stealthies will have a shimmer so you just assume it works like every other game with stealth and that it's complete invisibility
>>182216039
Just remove stealth, it was never a good or fun mechanic.
stukov patch whe n?
>>182214373
valeera fucking SUCKS they ruined her because plebs like you complained when she was good but not OP
so yeah if you play valeera you should be shot because youre total deadweight. play zeratul
>>182211886
>>has a heroic that puts all of an enemies abilities on cooldown
Go to hell, that's awful. Even if it was just basic abilities, some people have very high CD survival abilities, like Tass and Stitches, and you'd just be FUCKING them out of the team fight. Any even fight that had a character who could burn the enemy's CD's would be broken. Not to mention it's not exciting to watch or play with as a teammate. Stitches gets a hook? Awesome looking play, everyone knows what happened. Artanis swaps, Tyreal judges, Malth goes in marking everyone, Sylv gets the wailing arrow (where silence is ESSENTIALLY putting enemy abilities on a limmited CD), everyone knows what's going on. You just turn off your enemies abilities and roflstomp the fight, it's like watching someone shout down someone who has their mouth covered.
Mana and enemy CD manipulation is just bad. If you go that far, just go ahead and make other mistakes DotA likes to cling to, like being able to chain stun someone for a literal year or giving everyone a blink.
>>182213014
Medivh is an entirely different story than that. He enables his teammates with portals and shields, and turns enemies into sheep. That's not an "invisible" power the person you're replying to is criticizing. It's very visible and interesting in a lot of ways.

Tuesday. Aka 25+ hours from now.
Should Nova's clone get reworked/replaced? It is utterly useless in 99% of situations
Maybe she could get a waveclear or escape ability to replace it
>>182217078
but PTR ends on the 10th and he was on PTR on monday
>>182213672
After you get the level 20 basic attack upgrade, you're doing pretty much the same damage as archon.
That being said, I think other builds with tass probably work fine, but PallyTime made this one super popular so no one tries anything else.
>>182217219
The only ability they've ever outright replaced in recent memory is Possession, since it was soooooooooooooo ... oooo garbage.Decoy just needs to costs 1/3 less mana and have 2 charges, bam. Maybe a talent before 10 that gives you an active to direct the decoys.
>>182218112
>two clones
hello samuro
>>182218349
It's pretty functionally different, seeing as though nova places a decoy within a range around her without revealing herself, and it does no damage, and with 2 charges she could dump both or hold them, and it'd also empower her follow through talent even more.
But yes, you did count correctly, and your mother and I are very proud.
>>182217219
>give Nova waveclear
No no anon, that would make her less shit. Could you imagine if a bunch of QM stompers and low bronze mexicans started playing a decent hero?
>>182218852
>bronze Mexican Nova spammers start to infest my Gold games
how horrible that would be
Playing in the HGC Open Division tomorrow, wish me luck in not losing round 1
>>182218970
I'll take nova pickers over the odd valeera pickers desu
>>182217219
Nova's clone just needs to do damage again. Right now it's a huge waste of mana for anything but one in the chamber.
>>182219009
gl don't fuck up, count lethal twice.
>>182217219
>Should Nova's clone get reworked/replaced? It is utterly useless in 99% of situations
It's a reminder that Nova damage holo builds were a thing. And it was awful.
daily reminder that stukov is now part of the crewand is massively op because his talents are bugged but blizzard doesn't care enough to fix it before he goes live
>>182220346
At least he's not as slippery as Lucio and can't get his heal off if you stun him.
But yeah, he looks a little busted.

It's a thicc heal but it's on a 15 second cooldown.
As soon as you see that Bio Kill Switch you have 15 seconds to lay on the hurt.
Taking all bets. My money's ondisappointment.
>>182220462
>Is just one talent and they woll fix it for release.
I just have Battlefield 3 flashback
>>182221201
big butch woman
>>182220913
Sure, but that's like saying Lucio's heal is on a long CD due to amp. He'll have good heal over time on a lot of people for little mana. And also a massive AOE silence.
>>182220913
he has a talent that turns it into a 5s cooldown as long as he's hitting his Ws
>>182218750
sorry
female samuro
>>182221201
Well what do you know, I guessed right.
why is rehgar the most fun
just run at people and bite their face
>>182216750
You've just pinned down why Dota is a shit fucking game, because the opposite of what you said is Valve balance philosophy 101.
>"Is this thing really fucking annoying to play against or gimmicky? No? Then let's make it that way."
>[insert Faceless Void and PL reworks here]
>>182221564
>niggio
bummer dude
>>182216750
a flat cooldown wouldn't be bad. Say your next used ability gets 5s added to it or something. Or everything goes on cooldown for 3s
Though that last one is basically silence
>>182221895
Or making a character like Bristleback who's shtick is make your opponents kill their own teammates because they made the mistake of attacking you.
DotA is just a million random mechanics thrown in a blender and poured into a pit of autists. The only reason it was fun at all was because WC3 felt basically good to begin with. The whole thing is theft 3 times over, with modders taking Blizzard characters (which was fine until they made money) and Valve buying the modders' souls. I'm sad. DotA makes me sad.
>>182221895
Are you talking pre-7.00 PL and Void? Because their reworks before 7.00 made them gimmicky-but-situationally-strong to gimmicky-but-sometimes-annoying. All the reworks did was nerf them.

>>182222142
Agree. Dota was fun while it lasted, but HotS is a much more refined version of it, and it shows. When you have characters with coherent kits and don't slap the same potential set of actives on every single one, the game's a lot easier to balance while still making cool characters.
>>182223048
>don't pick support because you don't want to
>bitch that last pick didn't go support for you
What did you mean by this?
>>182223048
Dude, until you get some friends to play with, just stick to QM and get really good at character execution. Do NOT play hero league, it's a waste of time where people hold each other in bronze like you're describing. Find a buddy, or a group of people who enjoy succeeding and take things semi-seriously and do team league with them.
Hero League is a pit until you hit plat, at LEAST
>>182222335
No, earlier than that. When Void got backtrack rolled into his Q with half its leap distance, and backtrack replaced with a slow/cooldown-lock, and PL went from being RNG-Naga to Agi carry Where's-Waldo Puck.
>>182223210
It's okay to just say Dota was too complicated for you.
Everybody's here because HotS is simpler than LoL or Dota and we know it. No need for extra justification.

>queue up for QM for short queue

Wow, that was much fun. I guess I just suck it up and play unranked draft mode despite the fucking long queue.
>>182223319
No, that's the rework I was talking about.
That was when PL got demoted from lategame ratting AGI carry to midgame teamfighter, and Void got demoted from pos 1 safelane farmer to utility offlaner.
>>182223121
no, not me, but a friend I play with.
No idea what rank I actually am. Never done HL.He placed bronze 3 so I was hoping I could use who bans in unranked (always been me so far) to tell my mmr without actually playing HL, but then he deranked twice.
>>182223442
word this is my biggest complaint with this game.
sometimes i just want to play a certain champion and then i queue for qm as that hero and immediately regret it because i lose at draft at the hands of rng. then i realize i'm forced into playing unranked and never ever get the chance to pick that champion i want to play as. i have to forever pick the same 2 tanks and same 2 healers for the team. i just wish qm would have longer queues that try to balance teams a bit more and not give me teams with 4 specialists against 4 assassins games. it isnt fun.
>>182223830
>i have to forever pick the same 2 tanks and same 2 healers for the team
Stop being a cuck.
It's unranked.
Play what you want, and learn to make it work instead of just whining about how you lost at draft.
The difference between Bronze and Silver is ____?
The difference between Silver and Gold is _____?
The difference between Gold and Platinum is ______?
>>182223830
This has been a big focus, at least. They've tweaked it a lot. I hope, ultimately it works out as heroes having hard equivalents and soft equivalents to match up, and then some consideration for hard and soft counters. Like that other guy mentioned, they had tracer and no CC for her, but imagine the other end. You queue as tracer and the enemy team has like, uther, varian, greymane or something and you can't do anything all game because you get point and click stunned, taunted and blown up. Like, what's the middle ground?

>>182223446
To be fair, illusions giving gold didn't help PL be relevant either
>>182224929
It sounds mean and very meme but learn not to die, be careful of your positioning, be mindful of your mini map and know who on the other team will try and Target you, also learn his timing of his skill shots, and try different builds, perhaps the meta build you're using isn't right for how you wish to play him
>>182226393
PL was on a downward spiral for a long time since like before TI3 when Icefrog made KotL+PL lane combos less viable and all illusion heroes in general have been getting nerfsticks over the years (e.g. Terrorblade being a great 1v1 dueler but worse in splitpushing or teamfighting than the others, illusions getting reduced building damage in general, etc) for various (probably deserved) reasons. The rework was the final nail in the coffin for PL. I haven't kept track since 7.00 landed but if they didn't improve PL much, I doubt he is anywhere close to what he was in his glory days.
>>182226445
it's not even that I die a lot it almost feels more like I can't do enough even throwing out my bombs and flamestrikes, like I don't come online until I get the cdr at 13, especially for stuff like clearing out shrines/zerg waves
maybe I focus too much on putting out living bombs than making big flamestrike areas, I dunno
>>182226782
You can also put him on the shelf for a week, go play other heroes for awhile and just get out of the rut
Can someone please explain to me why the fuck I keep getting anubaraks on my team in ranked who go fucking beetle build and taking the swarm ult instead of wrap?
and it's not even like we're going against people who have are single target, the last one was up against guldan who q'd them away anyways and we had a second fucking tank too (more in reference to taking swarm)
and while I'm at it why are auriels taking her basic attack generates more hope over faster cd reductions when they arleady have a good battery?
I've had 5 games of that but the one thing in common is these retards are always on my team.
I'm in Plat 1 or was until the anub faggots kept fucking up my game, where are these retards coming from? I know Plat is fucking retarded but I hate that I fucking have to tell people how to build or which fucking ult to take on one of the more broken characters.
>>182227000
Summer is here mate.
Ranked is going to be horrific for a couple months.
Also with how shit beetle build is I have no idea why anyone would ever take it.
so like, taste for blood
why did blizzard decide to put in a last hitting talent
>>182228397
The first guy I asked why the fuck he did it and he claimed it was the spider tomb build, the second guy remained quiet but one of my teammates yelled at me and claimed I was whiny for complaining about his build.
I decided to play a game because I am so angry about my games and had an artanis with a build all over the fucking place and a bw who took bribe on the pirate level and specced nothing into healing despite having two tanks. I wish I had pain killers.
>>182228912
They wanted to experiment with it. Turns out some people really enjoy it, most people don't. For those who know how to make the most out of TfB it's one of the best late game talents.
Why did Blizzard dumpster murky? S/he wasnt even mei ling/KT levels of strong
>>182215310
>he didn't play before map rotations
I did. I played right before they brought that fucking shit in, where Blackheart was nowhere to be found and the maps were literally just Hanamura, Towers, Curse, Braxis and Punisher. Looking back with the exception of Hanamura which was roundly reviled those probably are some of the better battlegrounds.
I mean, BoE and Spiders isn't so bad either, but if it meant having the REAL Battle that lasts an Eternity: Dragonshire and Bay then fuck them. Mines can fuck off as well.

I never see pubs actually ever take it. They just take Sieging Wrath and barely finish it and even when they do finish it, they never actually use its range for anything.

I didnt find dota too 'complicated'. I just got tired of fighting the game to do basic 'mechanics' things.
*everything* is a grind in dota, and I just dont have the time or patience for that anymore. It's kind of like my experiences with Magic: The Gathering, it was fun when I was playing it on the table with a bunch of friends. The fun got sucked out of it when I tried to play it at cardshops, because everyone netdecks and you have people with fragile ego's who drop 350$ on a deck just to crush nerds. They weren't there for fun, they were there for ego.
>>182230492
How do you not complete sieging wrath? Just dunk people.
>>182231005

>>182227000
beetle build is consistent for 'duelling'. If you cant trust your teammates to follow or do shit like mercs when you ping it's the correct choice.
Energized cord is amazing because it allows auriel to gain something like 1/8th of her energy in a single auto-attack versus heroes or 1/16th vs minions, it's a 150% increase when hitting heroes, and it's a 900% increase when hitting minions. Even with a 'good battery' it's still a great choice, it also feeds into the level 16 quest and healing does damage to enemies at level 1 (which gives back 12% energy per hero hit, or 1.5% energy per non-hero).
>>182231368
oh and with [math] auriel ends up generating about 1/7th of her energy (without quest) per second of AAing heroes with energized cord, or 1/15th per second aaing non-heroes. So you can actually do shit like provide consistent healing on things like bosses or in mines or anywhere things hit back.

Pretend it's a slow skillshot. The animation then the delayed drop used to get me too.
Aim where you think they'll be in one second, not now or half a second. Try aiming at people who are standing at the moment you fire first, and then once you get better at that, go for people who are running too.
It's a high delay, there's no easy way to land them all the time but just keep practicing. Maybe go into practice mode, turn off cooldowns, and just spam E until you get the hang of the timing.

I thought armor only worked against physical damage, but apparently armor reduction affects all incoming damage? What's the deal?
>>182234895
There's just Armor that reduces all damage types, then there's Physical and Magical Armor that reduces the respective types.
>>182234895
Armor protects against all damage. Physical armor protects against AA. Spell armor protects against ability damage.
>>182234895
If it doesn't specify a type, it's all damage. I know your question has been answered twice, but I felt left out.
I also wanted to comment that I felt this is a common confusion, and it should be called like, pure armor, or like, call it resistance and the others armor.

For similar but different abilities, Cho has Molten Block, Rexxar has Feign Death, and Ragnaros has Submerge. And Dehaka has Burrow as part of his base kit.
They're moving away from shared talents and making everyone less similar, it was a crutch of early game design.

Trying to reach 130% sadism asap and finishing the Q talent at 4 by pulling in 3 faggots at once, it's such a fucking wonderful feeling.

Last match was a good one, of those, only one that can be filled is "Player kills another player with Living Bomb", and it's 'cause they dodged the same direction. Match before that was a trying one (I don't know if I can count 30 minute games as good or bad.. at that point they wear on), with only Triple Tap Nova being on our side and DVa's mech dying at full charge on their side.

>>182241830
Shitter here. Should you just never let the other team turn in on blackheart or what? That seems like an awful lot of space control.
>>182241830
Grouped lost vikings isn't common or what they're usually picked for but *sometimes* it can work. With baelog build it can absolutely shut down a double-soaking xul on say blackhearts bay. It also used to be a niche strategy on dragon shire.
Last rites malthael can also be *okay* if it's a map where you need to defend vs a splitpusher like azmodan. I've sadly had to do it in HL before on battlefield of eternity, but our team already had really strong immortal pressure so it wasn't a huge loss to have me on "stop the retard" duty. It in theory also has a place on warhead junction because portions of that map are very "dueling" oriented.
>>182242480
Blackhearts can be a very snowbally map. By turning in you destroy buildings (getting experience) and open up more of the map to safely control without overextending, allowing you to get more coins, which equals more turnins, which equals more experience and map control.

>>182243192
Zera is more mobile, has higher burst combo (especially with rewind) doesn't operate off of a shitty resource, he's more sticky, his AA damage is higher, he actually has waveclear, his sustain is better (in that he has any at all).... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND Void prison is absolutely fucking retardedly powerful. 5man void prison -> apocalypse = won fight every time.
You can also use void prison to grab 2-3 people and stop core damage, kill someone / clean up other things, then get back onto those other people.

>Alarak announcer when
This. Fucking this. I don't care what De Lancie's fee is. HotS needs an Alarak announcer who just shittalks and belittles you the entire game and gives half-hearted praise when you win.
Alarak as a hero feels pretty rough when you first start playing him but once you get the hang of his combo and learn how to complete his quests easily (even the 3 strike center lightning one isn't hard and with a tiny bit of luck can be completed before 10) he becomes an absolute savage that can kill anyone, at any time, regardless of his health.

Feels bad, I know she's low-tier but I really enjoy her style. Played about 100 quick matches and a handful of ranked (and done fairly decent) but I can obviously see she's outgunned by pretty much everyone and you need to be crafty to avoid getting caught, especially without her having any mobility spells

How do I into Sonya? She was the first hero I bought but I barely played this before 2.0/Mega Bundle and was purely a QM clown then.
Now I've tried picking her back up again in either of the draft modes and I've either been carried or contributed to a loss.
It feels like I'm mostly faffing about in teamfights; either I can't stick to a squishy I dove, or I'm getting blown up by the backline while I tussle with their beefier teammates.
When I dive I get isolated and burned down, if I don't hard engage I get worn down
>>182254218
assuming your can hit your spears consistently, she's just a spin2win hero in teamfights or a seismic smash your face in 1v1

Sex with Jinx would start out great but she *hates* boredom so it would be way too fucking frequent and escalate to crazy shit way faster than anticipated.

Weakness disgust me. All "mains" are disgusting, actually. If you want to be good you shall be able to play every role accordingly and pick the role which will bring you the biggest advantage.
Usually those support mains are just lazy fucks who want to get carried for free while doing nothing with the excuse that they are supporting.

I only main support in the sense that my favorite heroes are all supports and when drafting I will take the support so I know a reliable support will be on my team (#humblebrag or something). When just playing to have fun I solo queue as Butcher or Malthael on QM and go as HAM as it gets.

Grubby is fine, I enjoy a decent amount of his stuff, he much like any person isn't perfect though and it's important to separate him from his 'content'. There's one guy who always shits his pants about him here though.

Illidan is literally not even in the same league chasewise as Genji. to even be considered in the same conversation he has to use Hunt.
Think about that for a second.
For a hero released prior to Genji to even be mentioned in the same conversation as Genji's mobility/chase capacity, they have to be willing to burn an Ult with a significantly longer CD than anything Genji has to use to have his baseline mobility/chase.
And you're defending that kind of mobility/power creep.
Let's try to make people better at drafting. Take a hero you love to play, then explain what heroes you love having on your team. Then explain a hero you hate on the enemy team.
Stitches + Kael. This is a match made in heaven. Not only can Kael stun and nuke the fuck out of my hooks, but his living bomb keeps enemies scattered, giving me an easier time singling out targets that would otherwise hide behind tanks or minions.
He can use phoenix to both put a death turret for my hooked victims to run through, while making the enemy team have to stay under fire if they want to dive to the rescue.
A good Medvih on the enemy team will just snatch the food out of my mouth all day. Conversely, if he's on my team, he can scout for hooks and make gorge 1000x better.
tip for teammates of stitches. Just because I hook something, does not mean you should dump your cooldowns on it. If I hook a tank by mistake or to peel, let that fish go.
>tfw you can tell when a match is lost halfway into a draft
>>182267765
It makes sense that he'd have a form of it because heroes like Illidan have it and junk, but it's absolute bullshit that he gets 3 fucking charges of it at a time, especially when he already has as many get out of jail free cards as Tracer.
I had a few matches where there was literally nothing I could do to fight him because he'd either kill me outright if he got the jump on me, or just pop out if he ran out of dodges before killing me. There was no outplaying that dumb talent.

You will get a bot when 1 teammate goes afk. He is usually much better than your average gold player and you can even make him follow you with 1 simple click, why aren't you happy with that, anon?
>>182271554
the AI is absolutely atrocious though, it basically boils down to
ME SEE ENEMY ME CHARGE
which makes it an automatic feeder for the enemy death once they realize they can bait it whenever they want
>>182271918
So an average gold player?
>>182270783
5 stack in team league gives the most XP/Game, otherwise just pick either AI rush or QM and que with as many people as possible
>>182270839
>he actually fucking dodges losing even more mmr than just losing
MADMAN
>>182272208
Currently just go to core with leo and afk on veteran AI, seems good enough so far, until the exp/lvl is too high for the time spent
>just carry bro
is anything more infuriating than an invisible Tyrande ?
>>182272485
lol dude doesn't matter if your team mate feeds, just counter feed! l2p you goldie XD

Cancer, happy af for your teammates so they don't have to play with you
>>182273459
i don't mind times when samuro is a half-decent pick but he fucking 2nd picked him after i 1st picked sonya, then proceeded to wander around the map and die a bunch while getting zero camps
>people keep saying lucio is bad
>I've got 70% winrate with him in HL
Hmmmm
>>182231368
>beetle for dueling
which is completely worthless late game since there is no "dueling" late game not to mention any idiot can walk away, or as I said we were up against a guldan and one q eliminated all his beetles. It's better to just build your shield on burrow charge so you can tank while being able to get wrap and turn 5 v 5's into 5 v 4's
>energizing cord
okay but we draft a good battery, it fills up within two seconds anyways if you have a guldan or valla or someone who can reliably do it, so with energizing cord your sitting with a full battery every 4 seconds instead of being able to rapid fire heals. These people weren't building for the damage either nor did they get the level 16 quest, and that build would only be good with 2 tanks anyways otherwise your team will get focused down before you can heal again.
It's situational but if you're going to build that way you may as well grab another healer.
the beetle build on anub is retarded and you're probably the one ruining my games if you're trying to justify that crap.
>>182273712
Obviously everything that isn't meta is bad.
>>182273459
>muh meta garbage
Picking certain heroes, especially picking them early in draft, is a death sentence that annihilates fun and makes some people - myself included - lose any and all motivation to keep playing. It's literally digging your own grave shitty teamfight at a time until they finally just throw some dirt on you and call it a day.
Examples of this include but are not limited to:
>Picking Nova. Ever.
>Picking Valeera before 3rd round
>picking Samuro before third round
>Genji existing
>firstpicking Malthael
>firstpicking Gazlowe
>firstpicking Stitches
>Firstpicking .. well you get the idea. Any high-health tank that can be easily answered by an Artanis or Tychus pick
>people that respond to the above by insisting you "just ban Artanis/Tychus bruh" which leads to
>Genji existing
>still getting fucked over if someone leaves game
thanks blizz
>>182273996
>tfw really like gaz
>>182231368
>Auriel
Are you the same faggot who was protecting energizing cord yesterday?
Biggest trash talent for Auriel. Let's just make 8 (16) autoattacks as healer because that's what healing is about, doing autoattacks!
Great choice my ass. If you want to be full energy every 4 seconds you might aswell pick the Empathic link which will allow you to get energy with shitty battery, because someone will tank damage for sure. Still much better option than the shit you propose.
>Anub beetle build
I bet because of people like you anub still has "only" 53% winrate and not 100.
>>182274146
You lose around 200 points and the leaver lose around 600 points.
>>182274268
On certain maps, and even against certain comps on any map, Gaz can be great. The problem is he is very easy to counter pick against.
>>182273996
>mfw I first pick Abathur
>>182274651
YOU. ENHANCED. IMPROVED.
>it's a Genji picks Dragonblade against a CC heavy team episode
THE FEEDER BECOMES ME
>>182272485
Considering everyone except you have a lot of deaths, and you're the only tank... I imagine the problem was you being in the wrong places, all the time, and not peeling for your maties properly.
>>182274763
yeah I should have died 10 times as well; what a moronic post
>>182274895
Timid tanks are the worst.
>>182273740
>okay but we draft a good battery, it fills up within two seconds anyways if you have a guldan or valla or someone who can reliably do it
That is literally not the case until the latest of late game talents kick in, Neither valla nor gul'dan will cap out auriels energy that fast. giving the crown to someone causes auriel to gain energy from them at the same rate as she'd get from untalented trait... so with valla potentially doing a sustained 900+ dps at 20 with a full aa build (protip: people don't go this build) that's still only 360 energy per second versus heroes, which caps you in ~3 seconds if you didn't take reservoir quest. A level 20 gul'dan is only providing 180 hope per hero hit w/ fel flame, and you certainly aren't hitting 5 man fel flames all the time otherwise the enemy team has already severely fucked up.
You should *never* need to heal that often and that only works in fights with heroes. If you need to heal during a PVE objective energized cord is still the better talent because your battery is only providing 5% of their damage as hope.
God forbid you actually lose your battery in a fight because of effects that isolate, with your recommended build you're basically useless at that point, with energized cord you're still good to go.
>we were up against a guldan and one q eliminated all his beetles.
No it didn't. If you want to discuss this you need to be truthful and not constantly fucking shift goalposts like a massive faggot.
Talents are situational, beetles can be extremely strong if you need to do shit like hold a beacon on dragon shire or braxis, or y'know push a lane solo, the beetle talents can provide a ton of free healing which is a very good thing.
>>182274895
What he's saying is that you barely soaked as much damage as Uther. You were out of position and as a result your backlines got fucked harder than a drunken cheerleader on prom night.
You needed to be countering Artanis' setup/flip attempts to keep your backlines free to maneuver. Since you clearly weren't there, Artanis was flinging your assassins out front for Kael and Artanis to shred.
>>182275218
>>182275043
I was ALWAYS in the frontlines, always, most of their deaths were 1v5 diving or tower diving, or Tyrande just walking around the map invisible and getting buttfucked.
At one point 3 of them died to the same fort.
>>182275218
*For Kael and Lunara to shred. You probably got what i meant but this board is loaded with autists so it clearly needed correcting.
>>182274763
With that much damage it looks like he was in the right places, but his peel wasn't on point.
His Alarak's damage also suggests that player was consistently out of position, and their Tyrande was pretending to be Nova.
Valla I don't know how that happens unless she was deemed the solo-laner during every immortal push.
>>182272485
What were your talents and cocoon priorities?
>>182274895
You're less useful than them. If you can prevent 2 deaths, by sacrificing yourself, your death would've been a good death.
Instead you probably pulled out way too early, and then didn't jump back in to try to peel off the enemies off of your teammates, when they tried to retreat.
Or you were never engaging, then once your teammates are half HP, you jump in. Teammates are flustered because they can't take the fight, but they don't want you to simply suicide, so they try their best to support you... Then you run away because you notice it's not gonna work, leaving your teammates for dead.
>>182270985
Play AI Akaijii
>>182274895
Remember, whenever you complain here it is ALWAYS actually your fault the whole time. 4chan cannot help itself but blame the poster.
>>182275339
Then you were doing it wrong. Against that comp the only reason you'd have to be out front would be to zone out Dehaka who can't dive against your comp anyway without getting his shit shoved in. Valla alone could run circles around him, let alone Valla + Alarak.
The main danger their team had was Artanis' flip combo to throw Valla or Alarak into a lapse -> strike -> Bomb -> Burst combo from Lunara which will kill Valla outright and put Alarak so low he has to withdraw even with Uther healing him.
But if you're zoning Artanis out or fucking with his flip attempts via Impale/Burrow Charge, they can't set up on your DPS and now Artanis is out of position and waiting to get blown the fuck up.
>>182275470
Seems tedious.

>>182275426
Those are good numbers for tyrande. Well, maybe not at lvl 21, but nor is anyone elses in the team. Then you'd have to take into account of the 5 minutes of respawning, or whatever.
Tyrande going cloak is for attack speed, being able to heal better in the early game, as well as being able to escape by having 30% movement speed for 5 seconds.

What are your XP grind tips, mate?
>>182275739
The healing and siege damage suggest she was less with her team and more running around enemy lines looking for kills.
E talent at 1 especially enables great clear, though on immortals map D talent makes sense, but if she were any good with that the enemy team would have a load more deaths.
>>182275915
Genji relies very heavily on player skill. It's either 20 minutes of feeding or wiping the enemy team. There is nothing in between.
>>182275470
Hoping you found a way to AFK these games.

Join general chat, grab people doing dailies or wanting EXP and make a 5 man party, and add one to friends for exp perks.
Frag all buildings if possible and farm a few hero kills. Playing on Elite generally makes the games last a bit longer so the game gives a bit more EXP. If you just want your daily doing then play beginner but they're usually a bit shit for grinding levels.

I cocooned either Arta or Lunara.
Even when I peeled to allow my team to back off they either chased or stayed in place.
>>182275568
By frontline I mean in the middle of the fight, you can tell from my damage taken that they weren't focusing on me.
Is Stukov OP or what?
>>182276619
No he is a Vice Admiral

it's probably pretty accurate m8, +- 50 for all >500 mmr players
>>182276619
He is Zerg Russian.
>>182276595
I think Auriel would have been a better cocoon target, Lunara, Arta, and Kael can melt through it fast, but those are attacks/living bombs not on your team, while your people hopefully fuck the dehaka/arta and then follow up to melt Lunara and KT.
>>182276403
>implying a 5 stack with this comp isn't unfair enough
>>182276737
without Lunara Auriel has very little hope generation and Arta and Lunara can assrape Valla in 2 secs, also they kept spreading living bombs to each others, like, running into each others with the living bomb

Why do people on my team instalock Lucio or Brightwing when all of the good supports are available ?
>>182277551
