Find the ones you enjoy playing and buy those. Don't buy cheap heroes just to get into Hero League, it's not worth rushing into.

>>123499591
It's because Cho'Gall counts for two people. So you didn't have one character die but two. It's a big weakness of his. If a Cho dies late game it's so easy to just rush core and win.

Not to mention a lot of the times the characters surrounding Cho'Gall are picked just to support Cho'Gall.

Once upon a time, there lived a crusader named Johanna, who was talking a nice leisurely walk through the mid lane of Dragon Shire. Suddenly, out jumped a deadly night elf priestess, a huge red demon, a powerful ice mage and a minotaur with a guitar, who all of which began attacking her! The ambush went on for hours, without relent, until the ambushing party walked away, tired and unsatisfied. Johanna looked around, noticed a small scratch on her shield, scowled and went back home for supper.

No, the point of that was so supports don't feel like third-class citizens.

i love HotS

the thing that i hate most is that it doesn't give a shit how good you are. your personal skill matters ZERO in the entire game

it's a game that's decision not by "which team has better players" but by "which team has the least retarded faggot", one person who can't do his job right will cause your team a loss, and there is literally nothing you can do about it

it's a team game where you win or lose based on your weakest member, not by your strongest

both sites are pieces of shits with 90% of people being silent consumers of content

of the remaining, 9% are self entitled pieces of shits who do nothing but complain and bitch and use both Reddit and /hotsg/ as a place to shitpost memes and bitch about how everyone else is crap

the 0.9% offer mediocre/subpar-to-onpar discussion

and 0.1% produce some kind of content, generally things like guides, fan art, fan fic, cosplay, youtube videos, etc. and they become "e-celebrities"

but utilmately, both sites are just echo chambers and shit where debating is looked down upon on reddit by downvoting to oblivion, and on 4chan where people just shout "shill" or "stfu faggot" to stifle any and all forms of discussion that they don't like or want to have

Nah, Artifacts were just runes from League, not items.

Items let you build your character the way your team needs them to perform and lets you counterbuild some one on the other team that's troublesome.

There's a ton of stuff you can do in DotA, League has a lot of cookie-cutter buy orders with room here and there for an item switch, and Heroes... well, doesn't have anything depth wise really.
>>
>>123505690
Valla is actually considered one of the better range aassassins in the game.

You should have seen when Nova was picked in a competitive game today. Everyone laughed and basically for the next 3 games kept making jokes about how shit she is.
>>
>>123506482
that's retarded

the reward is what's basically expected baseline behavior and common decency?
>>
>>123504558
And that doesn't work when you're getting random players as teammates.

But that's how this game is supposed to be, it's there so that the guy that only plays one match a week can still win because that's Blizzards target audience nowadays. That's the people that can't be assed to actually play but will still throw 20 bucks for a hero and a skin.

I just watched that match too, first comp game I've looked at.

Is it just me or is there absolutely no depth to this game? I'm not sure why people play this competitively.
I mean, when I watch dota 2 games, it's pretty obvious that yes, these players are better than me and yes, these players know more about the game than me.

In hots is just like... there's no depth. I could be on that team and replace any one player and follow the rest of the team

There's alot going on behind the scenes that you won't know about unless you've scrimmed before against the top amateur teams.

To list a few:

>Predicting drafting/bans and securing top compositions on maps
>Cursed Hollow tribute spawning and positioning yourself to be close to it when it spawns
>Merc spawn times at the beginning of the game and maximizing merc damage based on objective
>2 minute rule for objective spawnings
>Hero combos e.g tyrande/mura, aba/melee assassin, raynor/medic, uther/tyreal, etc
>Denying soak and exp
>Making tough decisions to push lanes instead of wasting time rotating
>Deciding to do boss and do it safely
>Using Hardened shield to bait cooldowns before a teamfight
>Talent choices, do you pick nexus frenzy to gun core down at 20-18 level advantage or pick bolt to be safe, etc
>Picking talents via ctrl+# instead of mouse clicking. Imagine getting level 10 and using Strafe right after to secure 3 kills.
>Having support channeling tribute/objective instead of your dps
>Zoning and ambushing locations
>Ambushing their merc camps before immortal/objective appears

There's alot more but these are some things that I've been thinking about lately.

FUCK ABATHUR how the fuck is it fair to have fucking global range on something that slows you and deals a fuck ton of damage? by the time you walk a quarter of the way through the map, you run through like 50 mines and show up at the tribute with 20% health what the fuck, how is this balanced?
>>
>>123522754
waaah waaaah waaah
it's 4v5 in team fight until level 10, mines are the least of your worries, bronzie
>>
>>123522754
It's not global range unless he takes the talent for it but I agree the slow mine is fucking stupid as hell.

It's like Thralls shitty ult but all over the place.

>>
>>123524325
>relive
it's literally the mainstream build since forever and that hasn't changed
even with someone like illidan the build is pretty much the same, sometimes you dont even give up slow mines for attack speed since they're so powerful
>>
>>123523834
Any map with small choke paints make the slow mines fucking terrible to deal with. Slowing 50% for something he can just keep throwing it out is way too much.

It should be like a 25% slow.
>>
>>123524615
>give up slows for attack speed
>attack speed level 4
>slow level 7
please stop talking out of your ass about heroes you don't play.
>>
>>123524708
actually he can't keep throwing them out, not only is there a pretty substantial cooldown on the charges but you have to un-hat which forces hat on cooldown too

how about you actually play a hero and understand how they work before you complain about them. i mean you are complaining about the second-lowest winrate hero in the game (after cho'gall) whose winrate goes even further down every patch.
>>
>>123524756
I accidently swapped a talent, what's the big deal? The point still stands.
The locust/mines build is the dominant one.

http://www.hotslogs.com/Sitewide/HeroDetails
>>
>>123524854
I do play the hero and you are choosing mine talents than you aren't going hat build which means staying one hero is fucking wrong because leaving the hero refreshes cooldowns faster.

And if you are going mine build chances are you are taking the talent which makes it so you can have more mine charges.

Maybe play the character before trying to talk about him.

Not even the person you are replying to but you have pretty much gone full retard. You are saying a meme hero with a 40% winrate (closer to 30% in Bronze where you are I think) should be nerfed, your reasons being your own lack of understanding of both his kit and talents.

>>
>tfw you've earned enough gold from the stimpack to unlock a hero (4k, but whatever)

should i Gaz, Chillidan, or Tchus?
>>
>>123526250
No I'm saying that on maps like BoE, Cursed Hollow and some other ones a 50% slow mine is complete bullshit. Thralls Ult does 70% and can only be used once every 60 seconds Abathur on maps like that can throw mines fucking every where and slow you down nonstop.

Abathur is a really niche pick and only works on certain maps but the maps he works on he works very well on. The reason his win% is so low is because idiots pick him and do nothing the entire game because I'm pushing or they don't know how to soak with their body. Or hell go hat build when no one on the team benefits from it.

I can't tell you how many Abathur's just sit in base and do fucking nothing because they think that's all the hero is until late game when they can start putting down more locusts or whatever.

Also the balance changes hurt him a little bit.

don't play for 3 days and get 3 dailies

complete the 800 or 600 gold daily
stop playing

because you'll already have a 200 and 300 gold daily, you can't get them again, so your chances of getting another 800/600 daily is higher

grind away

in the meantime, you can AFK train free week heroes to level 5 and get 500gold per

don't forget, you also have 1000 free gold from completing the tutorial , pic related
>>

you dont have to stop playing when you have 2 of the 200 gold quests, you just have to stick to the franchise that you dont have a quest for

Sham used to be on par with that type of play (if anyone remember's him). Sham took the posession ultimate on sylvanas before they buffed it despite having a hero level of 20 with her, didn't know sylvanas's banshees could teleport him, and would constantly call out his teamates for being bad.
