Arthas overhaul when? Thrall talent revamp when?
>>333640034
He and Anub are the next on line.
is this confirmed or rumored?
>>333640365
confirmed by devs they also mention they are adding a new R to zagara she's going to be the first hero with 3 Rs.
Oh, nice thread you've got there, hope no assblasted dotards will get in here :^)
>>333640467
I really hope they'll give kerri's tarrasque to zag.
>>333640467
>R to zagara she's going to be the first hero with 3 Rs.
wahhhhhh that's insane, I've heard them tease us about multiple heroic options beyond just 2 but I didn't know they came out with information about Zagara!
I always wanted Thrall to have a Lightning-element Heroic Ability but from what I can tell they wanted him to wield 4 elements (Q-Lightning, W-Fire, E-Wind, R1R2- Earth)
So I guess a Stormy ult isn't fitting for this template but I always wanted him to do unleash a massive stormbolt or something. (Like against Mannoroth in the WC3 cutscene)
>>333641180
there are too many useless r in the fucking game I don't know why they want to add new ones.
>>333638241
It's fun
But they are adding shit heroes though.
MAIEV WHEN?
>>333641437
Well my guess is to make heroics less cookiecutter and more situational. That way you don't need to buff the shit out of Nydus Network but you can still have it a niche pick.
>>333641931
They buffed nydus but it will always be shit next to maw.
butcher main reporting in
>>333642186
are you br?
>>333642057
Either way it'll be nice to see what they can come up with for her options because one thing the developers like to do is break away from the mold.
>>333641825
Probably not for a long time. First we need more Diablo heroes, then more Overwatch heroes and then if there's time we might see a Warcraft hero.
>>333641825
>>333642469
Maybe with Legion's launch in WoW.

>>333642319
She's had like 3 different kits prior to this one. Her last kit was the one that kerrigan had now and they just swapped her skills with Kerrigan.
The dev team also has alot of crazy ass idea that they can't find right character for. Leoric for example used to have a trait that hid his team's ability indicators. So the enemy team wouldn't know what abilitites you where using.
In the end they removed it because it didn't feel like Leoric at all.
>>333642628

she's from WoW but yeah they thought they need to appeal to casual grill gamers.

>>333642628

Keep dreaming, they don't add characters that where first introduced in WoW. Only characters from WC3. other old Warcraft games and novels.
Tried to start playing this again recently but I was utterly turned off by the fact that I couldn't play any hero I felt like at any given time without grinding and that no other hero is more fun than Abathur.

>>333643661
ETC in WC3 as a joke not a character. It would't fit into your categorization.
>>333643661

because so many good heroes in blizzard franchises are all male and that is big nono
>>333643738

i'm not even shit posting
devs said they would maintain the gender ratio and the reason they introduced original heroes like morales or hammer is because they almost ran out of female heroes in the sage
think about it virjaina, kerrigan, sylva, female dh, and few other female chara are about it in blizzard game
even they had to use female barbarian and crusader
>>333643879
>heavily invest in your account
>in exchange for not playing less focused and competitive, more casualized throw-away game
>imblying grinding for heroes is okay in HotS because you don't have to also grind for runes
>>333644058
the only time queue times were fucked is when they had to recalibrate the matchmaking to be more precise to make better matches, and now it's like back to the regular 1 or 2 min wait.
>Fucking when?
>>333638241
In my opinion it is because it's not "serious business" for the guys playing it unlike dota 2 and lol faggots.

Played it for a night, having played Dota since wc3 I just couldn't play a Down syndrome version of Dota. It's more casual than league, and chicks play league
>>333644718
yeah this guy is definitely stretching hard to make it seem like they're only adding wc3 heroes.
With that said I can definitely see them having an emphasis on bringing back the old WC3 units and incorporating it into this game because we are all familiar with those recognizable silhouettes of iconic units (especially because of DotA)
>>333644826
same goes 4u my friend :^)
>>333645013
:^)
>>333644567
He was originally from Warcraft Adventure: Lord of the clans. The point-and-click that got canceled. I forgot that he made an appearence in WC3 as well.
>>333644718
>Only WC3 heroes
I said characters before WoW, i never said it was WC3 only, Cho'gall is from WC2, Zul'jin as well i believe. Gaz is from Lords of the clan. and some characters where first introduced in novels like Greymane, Falstad and Reghar
also
>Literally only 1 character that came from WoW
>All heroes have their WC2/3 look like cho'gall, THrall, Jaina, Sylvanas

Gee i fucking wonder where i got that idea.

Rehgar technically is from the WoW comics, but he represents the WC3 Shaman support spellcaster unit's archetypal role.

>>333643738
What confuses me the most about HotS's grindy champion unlock schema is how antithetical to casual play it is, especially compared to some of their other products. Specifically, Diablo 3.
It's weird how non-monetized Diablo 3 is now. You can buy Diablo 3 +/- Reaper of Souls and have access to the entire game with no grind-bypassing paywalls or paid cosmetic customizations. The latter really confuses me because that's where Path of Exile makes a lot of it's cash and there's a lot of room and options for ways to customize the appearance of your gear and character that people would no doubt be willing to put a few dollars down on. And it's not like they've abandoned the game; there's still regular updates and smatterings of new content every couple months.
So I don't quite get why HotS is the complete opposite. It's free-to-play, obviously, but there's no option to buy in for, say, $60 and have all heroes unlocked. There's still quite a few high-quality hero skins if they really want to milk disposable income.
>>333645315
>pumps more money into esports
>no viewership increase or playerbase increase
>pumps more money and act all cool
>slowly dies inside knowing that this is a failure
>>333645325
farming gold for the 10k heroes is not really hard you just have to do the daily quest and lvl characters to 5.
>>333645418
>no viewership increase or playerbase increase
Source?
>>333638494
this
hots is dogshit. sad, too, because it could have been really good if it wasn't so casualized
>>333645142
you initially stated
>>333643110
>Keep dreaming, they don't add characters that where first introduced in WoW.
which is a completely factual statement. They've already datamined soundfiles referencing Grom and Garrosh in the game, and at Blizzcon 2013 they listed a massive art panel of potential heroes, and it literally showcased every single Blizzard name you can imagine.
You are over exaggerating simply because they decided to import classics first.
>>333645590
well if there were huge influx of viewship and concurrent players, blizzard marketing team would have used that data as advertisement already
even just counting twitch viewership compare to other mobas, this one is way too low, always in the third place
it even has fewer viewship in twitch compare to WoW and that tells a lot
>>333645817
viewership shouldn't be the only factor for popularity considering they have more active playerbase than SMITE, even though SMITE has more viewership on Twitch.
>>333645590
nevermind 4th place since smite has more viewers in fact
you can go "bu..but twitch is not the only parameter" yada yada and still other games are oligopolying the shit out of views and players
>>333646009
True it still has less viewers then smite, but it has more viewers then around a year ago when it was still stuck at 3K on average. Altought not by much, the viewership is still increasing.
>>333645517
Nobody thinks it's "really hard" to get gold, however the amount (and thus rate) you get is pitifully low.
If you game the daily quests you'll average 400 gold per day (otherwise it's ~355), not including the pitiful amount you get per game, that's one 10k hero every 25 days which is probably barely faster than the rate at which they release new heroes.
>>333646290
i think most games have exponential growth around launch ~ 1 year anniversary
think about how liquid forum said SC2 would regian its former glory in korea
then they said wait for HotS
then they said wait for LotV, still not as successful and now already in declining phase in everywhere
HOTS shows very similar viewership/playerbase growth and it really doesn't have enough merit to steal that stats from other games
for a year old game which had had so much hype and advertisement it is safe to say it is failing and dying
>>333646314
yeah but that's just daily quests alone.
You get 500 gold for leveling a hero to level 5, 750 for leveling them to 9 and even more post level 10. and this works for free heroes, not just the heroes that you own.
You also get gold for leveling your account wich will help you purchase several heroes.
Added to that is also that not all heroes are 10K, they are dropped in price arbitrarily to 2K-4K-7K.
You'd except Actiblizz to make all the best heroes 10K and pricedrop the shit ones but that's not even the case. most of the 2K heroes are top tier.
And even on top of all that you don't buy every hero. Some of them will be too shit and not worth the money and some won't interest you.

without this shared experience system you can't have intresting niche hero kits like Abathur, Murky or the Lost Vikings.
It's a hero brawler with an emphasis on fighting each other, so the de-emphasising lane farming for hero progression was a natural fit.

>>333648336
That's fine, to each their own. If you're interested i'd suggest trying out Greymane or TLV in the free weekend that's going on. They're the highest skillcap heroes in my opinion. maybe that's the sort of difficulty you're looking for. If not you can always play something else.
>>333648428
Illidan is pretty good again, top tier i'd say. They made him a little tankier and tweaked him overall.
For sylv they put posession on level 7 as a talent and still nobody picks it. Mind control is pretty dope, way better then possesion but Wailing arrow is still better in most situations. At least she has a better alternative now. her other reworks where pretty meh, she has a better winrate now though.
Kael'thas is... actually worse off then he was before. He's dropped to second lowest winrate after his rework.
The last one they reworked was tychus he's... absolute garbage, lowest winrate overall and still dropping. his rework was a fucking disaster.
>>333649226
It's not that i'm particularly good at high level micro, it's the macro that bugs me. The lack of emphasis on last hitting and denying and getting those items makes the game way too simple for me.

Why anybody would willingly play HotS over Dota 2 is completely beyond me. But I guess it does a good job at filtering out the casual dudebros and twitch camwhores.
>>333650295
some of us are just completely exhausted with the old map objectives of the past.
One day you will have franchise fatigue of DotA like myself and realize HotS is a nice fix for a quick 15 min match full of brawling.
>>333650295
Ah yes, because over the last 12 months your games have had less idiots in them because they all left and camwhores aren't streaming your game anymore... oh wait.
>>333650295

>>333650443

>>333650632

Dota 2 has custom games that don't require you to pay money to play heroes.

no one here said they don't like MOBAs, some of us are indeed bored of the stale old objectives and are open to new ideas such as a team brawler with an emphasis on quick matches full of battles over primary objectives.
>>333648846
zerathul is pretty fun
One thing that always astonished me was how Aghanim's Scepter in DotA was so impactful and how it fundamentally changed one of your abilities instead of just adding on top like your typical items.
I really enjoy HotS for giving us interesting talents that give us that same unique ability altering effects.
Hopefully they keep releasing talent overhauls and keep fine tuning talent options.
>>333648846
arthas, but he's progressively becoming more and more unfun to play as burst and mobility keeps rising in the game
>>333652671
reworking soon
>>333650295
HoTs did to LoL what LoL did to Dota.
They just simplify and then add a few unique things of their own for "fun" factor.
Some people just don't want to have to invest the time into learning all the Dota heros/builds/ward spots/pull spots/timers/etc. I have friends who play all 3 games and typically the majority like the more casual less "tryhard" games.
However LoL definitely costs way more in the form of ip/time to get all the things than HoTs. Obviously Dota gives you everything from the get-go because it is the true one e-sport.
>>333648846
It feels like all my favorite characters just keep getting nerfed. I can only get wins with Chen now.
>>333652723
they confirmed it's not gonna be anything major, which makes me think he's gonna get his healing buffed, become op as fuck, and eventually get nerfed again.

You only get 30 gold per win in HotS and heroes can cost 10,000 gold. I don't understand how that's less time and in-game currency.
>>333653267

Btw, HoTs stands for Heals over Time.

it's a simple acronym that gets confused with already pre-established ones such as Heal over Time.
Thanks to heroes such as Malfurion that heals in such a way it's only logical to capitalize correctly so you don't confuse the readers.

same here. Sometimes I just want to get a game in, and not have to deal with the shit that comes from league and other mobas. One fuck up, and everyone jumps down your throat, rather than trying to fix it. Usually at that point the team is pulled all the way down into the pit of shit, so there's no way of winning because everyone is on tilt.
Meanwhile in hots you've queued up for your 2nd game, win or loss for the one prior.

>>333654106
Honestly I used to agree with this, but the HoTS community is goin the same way of the other 2, there's so many elitist fucking people in this game now, and they are all fucking awful. Seeing someone rage because I pick a sylvanas when I'm the best person on both teams is laughable to me. I've never seen such a giant disparity between elitism and actual player skill in any game.
Is there an equivalent of best spider in hots?

Yeah I gave up on HL. Whenever I just feel like jumping into a game and fucking shit up, QM is the way to go. Sure you have some bad teammates, but games aren't long enough that you get too frustrated with them.
>>333654649
stop playing HL and play QM. Try some shit, have fun. If you're going to be a tryhard, play a different game.

Used to play ranked but there's nothing to it anymore since I am rank. You can just queue up with 4 other people you know who aren't garbage and grind your way all to rank 1. Ranked system is pathetic or rather the playerbase. QM is shit cause of people like you who play 'just for fun m8, why are you so mad', literally what every useless Illidan picker says
>>333655237
lol don't get me wrong, I play for fun and try shit, but I don't play like useless novas and illidans when they're free for a week. I still try to win, and I still try my best, I just don't do what i'm normally doing for a win.

This game will never have the following heroes:
>Dragoon
>Goliath
>Defiler
>Mephisto
>Baal
>Duriel
What's taking them so long?
>>333655804
Mephisto and Baal has datamined information.

>>333655978
Don't fuck with me anon
>>333656032
he's right we also have datamined info of varian, zuljin, samuro and vash
>>333656031
We'll for sure get garrosh, but I highly doubt people would be okay with the old god version.
Granted sonya kindve already took his spot, so it'd be cool
>>333644427
>Blizzard is full of midriff and ass men
Only good thing they have going.
>>333648846
Nova, even after the retarded rework which left her doing the same thing she did before. I miss double decoy, popping out 5 Novas around a target was fun as fuck.
What basic abilities would Malthael have? I know one of his ults would be pretty cool if he shoots everyone all around him like in his boss fight, but what about his basic kit? (Assassin of course)
>>333655978
Mephisto could be some sort of offensive support, instead of healing he just boosts heroes around him with HATE and some marginal healing.
>>333638494
Incorrect. Especially since it's the only competently designed AotS game I've seen. Even with its shit-tier matchmaking, it's still better than the competition.
HotS does the following:
> Removes items and gold.
This is actually the smartest thing I've seen in mobas. Removing something somehow made it better. Hard to believe I know.
Although if you look at items in League right now, they look like giant fucking spreadsheets. Not to mention in spite of each redesign, the item shop is a chore to thumb through anyways.
> Creates on the fly builds through talents.
Wishy washy on that, but it's a little better than: "oh let me rank up this one basic ability that adds no alteration to my play-style."
> Laning is not entirely about farming minion kills.
It's more about making sure your enemy doesn't fuck up your own fort.
> It feels like there's less of a lane-meta.
Most of the time, sure you don't want support/heal based characters solo-laning unless they're tass or the like, but you can have roaming. Actual roaming. Blizzard brought a little strategy back in a game that was derived from strategy games.
> More than one map.
With objectives. OBJECTIVES that vary up your play-style further. Is the map good for split pushing? Maybe build this way! Is there going to be fuck tons more teamfighting than the others? Think about building another way instead.
Granted there are meta builds for all the characters, but there are many variants for all of them for the right situation.
>>333653749
That's a really nice looking Webm.
>>333656346
If they include him without Sha powers, he's going to be named Grom instead.
>>333657371
>Wishy washy on that, but it's a little better than: "oh let me rank up this one basic ability that adds no alteration to my play-style."
It is not, there is 0 variation on how you play a hero except for 'okay I am going little less tanky and little more dmg on diablo'.
>>333657371
>This is actually the smartest thing I've seen in mobas.
In the beginning I thought that is THE greatest thing about Hots and adds a lot altruism and teamplay to a team but eventually it is ' I can't play Healer, me DMG please'
>>333658892
>'okay I am going little less tanky and little more dmg on diablo'.
that IS variation. However it doesn't vary too far from the original character's design, which items tend to do.
That's why in league you see characters that look like ninjas tank shit stupidly easy. Meanwhile more heavy-set looking characters can be blown the fuck up.
>>333659605
The objectives never change and they are important enough to make every single game centered around them. The ways you spec your character are also very limited.
You know what is variation? Variation is a huge selection of vastly different characters with unique mechanics that creates a ton of combinations. Variation is also being able to build a whole lot of different items to suit your needs that can vary greatly depending on the enemy team and their builds. You can make a team that will try pushing the all lanes at the very beginning leaving the enemy team with no chance for comeback, or you can opt for late game supporting your carry till they can oneshot the whole enemy team - that also sounds like variation to me.
I understand that our view points are very different, but to me it looks like Dota 2 is much more varied, and you are only disregarding its variety because it requires putting a bit of hard work into it.
>>333648846
I'm only decent with Brightwing
>>333659605
Anon, there is 0 variation in this game. Zeratul is the only Hero who can be played in somewhat different ways but Blizzard nerfed him to the ground for this exact reason. There's also 0 variation on how you play maps. It's supercasual and has nothing to offer longterm wise, that's why it is dead.
>>333653372
I like how you leave out the 500 gold for getting a hero to level 5 (and then there's another decent bonus at level 9, not sure the exact amount but it's at least 500). You also leave out the daily quests, the biggest chunk of repeatable gold gain that can net you an easy 200-800g bonus a day depending on your luck and how many games you play. But yeah, keep shitposting. You can't win an argument if you start by lying.
>>333661278
>there is 0 variation in this game
that's wrong and the new talent overhauls are steps in a positive direction. Of course you wouldn't know because you don't play the game.
>>333654302
Honestly that's why I just do QM and have the mute all option on. I go into a moba for a quick game and I enjoy the feeling of teamfights, objective fighting, etc -- I don't need to hear some stupid teen insulting my mother because I didn't pick x top tier hero or made a mistake. The pings are usually enough to get the gist of what you want/what others want across, and I don't have to listen to the ridiculous bullshit moba players spew. I wouldn't do that in Hero League of course because communication is more important and rank is on the line, but I refuse to get stressed in an unranked match. Fuck that.
>>333660684
what are you talking about, im not disregarding variety in dota 2 at all. Im just saying that HotS does offer variation within the characters themselves. However you're not going to span as wide as other games, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. That way there's a lower chance of someone building so far off character that they're useless the whole game, which i've seen in both league and dota many times. How do you like your teammates when they build nothing but mana items, even though they don't have a resource to boost? That can't happen in HotS, but each character can be played differently each game and still be focused around their base design.
Azmodan for example is decent specialist. If his minions get blown the fuck up, he's useless in that regard. However you can build him for teamfights with his portals and "dunk" his opponents. Next game, you can build him so that his minions have more life, do more damage to enemies, as well as having a different ult that rains down minions for taking down towers. There are other ways of playing him that vary upon those 2, and that's variation enough for the character.
>>333660684
>forced to play the same single map
>forced to counterpick heroes
>forced to lane for half the game

Blizzard made a game you can play twice a week and enjoy and not lose yourself as a total fucking mobasperg, crying yourself to sleep
>>333662061
I reinstalled it 1-2 weeks ago just to remind myself how trash it is, also it's dead. Like even the biggest Blizzard Fanboy can't deny that this game is dead.
>>333650063
Green was originally a dota drawfag.
Moving to HotS lost him all his fanbase, so he stopped.
HotS is dead, and shit.

Hots is pretty fun when you first play it with some friends, since it's easy as shit to get into, there's barely any mechanics to know so it's mostly just fighting the other team. But then if you actually play it more you end up getting bored as shit because there's barely any mechanics to improve on which kind of makes the competitiveness boring as shit.

Well I just meant if you have friends who don't normally play dota type games, it's much easier to get a group of 5 than if you want to play dota together where you'll probably have to spend a few games just explaining the really basic mechanics to people. I basically did that with some people I knew from my wow guild a long time ago, who didn't play heroes, and it was fun for a bit but then just got real boring to me since there isn't much variation to the game play.

>>333638241
Because it is a casual LoL/DOTA
And having multiple maps with different objectives help.
I got bored really quick. They got $50 from me for like 20 hours of playtime so I feel only moderately ripped off. Yeah I spent money so I could try most of the characters and that's my fault.
