If the new scaling is coming with cho, and they said he wouldnt work without it, then that alone will fuck the balance all up
>>
>>121897558

well, sonya still has the highest DPS in the game yet stoneskin, hardened shield and self-sustain and Blizzard thinks thats acceptable, and I don't see any sort of scaling by itself bollocksing up Fire and Ice's reign

Nice.
>>
So who's ready to pay $99 for a years stimpak? Does it come with a beach Li Li skin?
>>
>>121898357
"Daughter of Cenarius" is literally just a NPC from WoW. Also known as the dryads.
>>
>>121898448
Ah, okay then. I've literally never played wow, so I thought Cenarius only had a few daughters, not that every dryad was considered one.
>>
>>121898357
All dryads are his daughers, she was just the first. Then keepers of the grove are his sons.
>>
>>121897659
I dont think the scaling will hurt sonya, but it will have far reaching effects that could include her.

Like will the new death timers hurt leoric(thus sonya) because he cant just rez at the objective and finish off the enemy team, or will the new death timers mean that his ability to reduce it makes him stronger?

Will raynor (and everyone else) have a harder time farm marksman stacks? If he falls out of the meta that will hurt Li Li.

What about heroes like naz? He has very poor stat scaling due to his trait

How will the scaling effect mercs and buildings? Will Gaz finally be useful?


On one hand it will be neat to see things really shaken up, on the other hand, the balance is almost good right now, with only a few outliers and this might ruin things

I don't think anything will top Sonya's portrait.

Hey hotsg, I been playing Medic a lot in solo queues, and managed to win quite a few games over losing games.

I know she has the weakness of being vulnerable to being focused, however I still feel that shes pretty good.

Which ult is considered better? I know the stim drone is good if you have a illidan or something, but I get more use out of her drop ship.

Did you know that if she summons a drop ship, she is basically granted quite a bit of HP kind of like how Tychus did it with his Thor pre-nerf? I pick dropship, use it whenever I'm getting jumped on during a team fight, set the location relatively close, and it has saved my life and won us team fights several times. I can see it getting nerfed though, sadly.

>Kill/Assists have no place in the game!

>>
>>121899405
I think it might be a pretty cool change. Especially when the scaling is changing and Assassins actually become useful early game. However, I don't quite like how they removed XP from the scores list.
>>
>>121899059
Masters player here, I honestly feel medic is a good healer (almost better than a few of the meta ones right now) IF -- and that's a huge if -- you can stay alive and use her damage mitigation properly. I still don't trust randoms in solo queue to play her, but if you were good enough at positioning, she could work out well for you.

Stim is good when you have synergy like Raynor or melee assassins, but medivac has more potential uses. Stim is certainly easier to use, but the potential medivac has to push advantages is just great. Since it has such a short cooldown, literally every time you win a fight or get an advantage, you can vac to a boss or other objective and capitalize on your advantage as quickly as possible. I don't think it's getting nerfed at all, though. Not many people have been complaining about anything medic does.

>>121899553
Well if people start using medivac as Tychus Ult 1.1 I can see it being nerfed.
>>
>>121900563
Nah, medivac doesn't do damage, doesn't move, and doesn't have a dash. It's nowhere near the same level. Medivac won't be changed unless morales somehow becomes a popular pick.

>>
>>121900619
original tychus ult didnt have a dash I don't think.

If you get the 20 talent for it(instead of the shield/mana which i feel is better btu i havent been on a full team premade with her) it heals you while you're inside. I can see someone taking medivac, taking the medivac 20 talent, calling it in when the group is hurt, everyone jumps in, gets healed, enemy team pops it, then everyone is at full health and rapes face.
>>
>>121900839
The medivac 20 is alright I guess, but it's trash compared to the trait upgrade. The more of your team that's in the medivac, the fewer people there are outside to stop the enemy team from bursting it down. Alternatively, you could take the trait upgrade and have an easier time staying alive and just heal everyone yourself.
>>
If anything is going to get nerfed about Morales, it's going to be the Stim drones, not the fucking feed bus lmao
>>
>>121900563
Its been over a month, I know there is a core group that defends morales's honor, but I dont think theres any amazing tech in her kit that just hasnt been figured out

I feel like Blizzard has done everything possible to bring Nova above Zeratul. He just sort of feels sloppy now. I still don't get why they nerfed void instead of buffing it. Nova's allowed to attack wherever she wants, but Zera has to be right next to the enemy to work?
>>
>>121904412
I would say that actually Zeratul is still a lot stronger than Nova

Void Prison is one of if not the best ults in the game and Zeratul is still really good.

Nova is also one of the worst heroes in the game.

Just greatly reduce the cooldown on BFG and it would be fine. It's global and does more damage. So make it like 30 second cooldown or something. 70 seconds is entirely too long for what it does.

I really doubt takedowns actually put anyone off of playing the game. If anything the hero unlock system and talent gating (Thank fuck they're finally get rid of that stupid shit) are the biggest problems.

Takedowns are a completely useless measure of individual performance. You get credit for a takedown just by being a near a team kill even if you didn't actually do anything. Adding K/A is a major step in the right direction if they want to attract better players.
>>
>>121914839
Talent gating and kills/assists were huge issues that were bitched about all through alpha. It quieted down because most the people who cared about it left the game.
>>
>>121915153
Me too. He a cutie

They need to do more with this KDA thing. First they need to clearly announce who got the kill on the screen like Dota 2. 2nd there should be Killstreaks and if you manage to kill someone who is on a killstreak you get a exp boost dependent on how long the streak is.
>>
>>121914708
>>121914918
>>121914918
How is it important when Takedowns did the job fine? Chasing fuckwads instead of doing objective and caring about last hitting is not something we need.

I've had so many tributes fail because my team fucks off to get a kill, ends up trading because the team already respawned at that point.

This isn't about specialists (though XP is important and kills are taken into account into it), but about some misplaced notion that being the last one to hit the guy is somehow more important than killing a guy while remaining in position, with your team.
>>
>>121915657
What? There are killstreaks and an XP bonus for killing people on a killstreaks. That's in the game already. How else do you think people catch up in levels despite being dog pounded?
>>
>>121915657
The last hit has been announced since the beginning of time, just very hidden. But I'd like more of this type of stuff.
>>
>>121915659
So what you are saying is with Takedowns the idiot will chase and get killed anyways? You can't change idiots, but you can give good players a nice stats screen that actually means something because takedowns don't mean shit.
>>
>>121915659
>How is it important when Takedowns did the job fine?

But it didn't.

>Chasing fuckwads instead of doing objective and caring about last hitting is not something we need.

That's what the death counter is for. Players overextend even without the kills stat. It doesn't change the fact it's an important stat that shouldn't be left out.

>I've had so many tributes fail because my team fucks off to get a kill

And the majority of the time the people who kill the most enemies win the objectives and the game.

>but about some misplaced notion that being the last one to hit the guy

It's not a misplaced notion. Getting kills is important.

>>121915237
>It quieted down because most the people who cared about it left the game.

True. Not putting in kills/assists was a major blunder on Blizzard's part and is the single major reason the competitive scene isn't taken seriously. Hopefully it's not too late to correct that.

I don't get how takedowns don't say anything. They are just K+A. So many Nova players fucking harp about them carrying the team because they murder things, even though early on it doesn't matter because the XP gain is mitigated by their lack of soak and inability to do anything else.

Early game Tributes and Immortals regularly have you killing 3 of the enemy team, only for them to appear while you are chasing that last guy because respawn timers are about 10 seconds long.

And honestly, kills are only important later in the game when them not being present ends up mattering. And that shit already taken into account by the stats screen, it is the enemy's stats. If they have fucktons of deaths, they are getting killed a lot.
>>
>>121917475
>early game it doesn't do anything

This is changing with longer death timers. Pretty much everything you said is changing with longer death timers. Getting kills and positioning so you don't die yourself are going to be more important than ever.

It's not. You don't actually have to participate in a kill in order to get a takedown. It's a completely meaningless stat.

>And honestly, kills are only important later in the game

Kills are important throughout the game and are usually the deciding factor in winning objectives.
>>
>>121917598
Okay, that's a good point, actually. I could see that. Ugh, not good news for me as I try to get good with Hammer and Diablo. Even when we're winning I am dead a lot.

I just don't get why Kills need a stat when we have maps like Blackheart where you can win without ever killing anyone. Theoretically, at least.

It just seems way easier to implement an objective stat.

Coins turned in, gems turned in, skulls collected, damage to immortals, punisher skeletons killed, seeds collected, time spent capturing temples.

Sure, for Dragonshire and Ravenloft you can't really display anything, but for the rest? Objectives are so important in this game, I fear any change that will encourage people to ignore it for bigger numbers.

That's hilarious. Blackheart's Bay is one of the most team fight-oriented maps in the game.
>>
>>121918025
Huh, really? That explains a lot, I thought you had to at least deal some damage to the person. I guess the idea of it is that it encourages people to stick together, which is really important.

If someone has little takedowns, they probably have been avoiding teamfights and split pushing. Which of course, sucks.

Have they announced what kills and assists will consist of? Do you get an assist if you dealt 80% damage to someone and another did the last 20%?

I just feel as though they could've easily just made takedowns more intuitive, as in not counting if you didn't do shit and kept K+A combined without splitting them.

Anyway, maybe you are supposed to chase people for that extra bit of XP, but I've seen so many people literally abandoning Temples to do it and it is frustrating.
>>
all this bitching about the kills/assist things and most people don't realize that the game will literally not change at all

the only thing that is different is the scaling with levels, but that's about all, gameplay will still be the same
>>
>>121918584
You can always find times to turn in without alerting the enemy team.

brooooonze power activate!

I'm joking, I get it, in more serious matches it doesn't really work like that, I'm absolute garbage at 2k MMR. I shouldn't be talking, but I feel like I have made some solid points.

I mean, hey as Sonya seeing all those kills will make me feel pretty good. I just don't get why Assassins need more encouragement, Nova, Illidan, Tychus players and similar heroes already have the audacity to proclaim they are carrying the game just by virtue of their takedown count, even though they don't actually DO all that much. I'm just worried.

Probably senselessly.
>>
>>121919032
People play differently when there are different incentives.

Lot of stupid players out there who are just aiming for high scores.

If you are constantly matched with smart, levelheaded players who act rationally, then this change won't do anything. But for most of us, that's not the case.
