>>122225572

>>122225713
i dont enjoy being useless
9th for chen. also greymeme when
10th for Chen!
Chen
Chenposters, please, I think this is getting out of hand.
Anyone here have aspirations to actually grind HL league to get better or raise your MMR to 3k or even 4k?
I don't think anyone here except a few realize how rewarding it is to improve in this game. People are hiding behind anonymous to call out shitters when they themselves don't have any motivation to get better at this game.
Cute, but deadly!
>all these chenposters
this explains the immense decline in quality here
>>122226104
I don't think I can get 4k anytime soon without some serious autism, but I think I could maybe make it to the top 200 leaderboards next month if I just played HL some more. Some of the guys there are below 3.6k, even.
>>122226104
>>122226371
Shit, forgot pic.
>>122226371
>tfw I was 10-20 mmr below the 200th on the leaderboard, how do I get on the leaderboards?
>>122226597
Well, obviously slogs and blizz MMR aren't 1:1, but I think if you can get a solid 50 points above someone on the top 200 right now you can make it.

Worst part is looking back at all those losses and seeing just how easy they could have been wins if one guy (or myself in one case) didn't make a stupid decision lategame.
>>122226773
Damn I just got a job, no autistic spamming for me anymore.
>>122227283
>not getting 200 bonus points at rank 2
shaking my head at you tbqh family
>>122227426
is that even possible unless you've been rank 1 before and raised your mmr super high?
>>122227283
I just want to be below 10. I had win lose for quite a while now or 5 losses then the next day 5 wins. Most games are just stomps though sadly.
>>122227553
Yeah, you can get your MMR boosted a bunch in placement matches. I was rank 1 before the reset, but even then I was getting 200-300 bonus points at rank 2 during my first climb.
>>122227710
havent played since it was 'released', was playing since alpha before that.
did my placement matches over the past month.
notice i have 10k gold again, looking at morales, never saw her once in my placement games. tried her out in quick match and shes fun.
Does she get no play because of the easier supports available?
>>122225704
What screen cap service does /vg/ use to record their replays?
>>122228329
morales is the worst support in the game
>>122229205
I'd rather have Morales than Rehgar honestly.

Whats the best transition from newb to Abathur?

I already have 4k vid downloaderand Adobe Premierebut replays are just commands to bots to recreate everything so I can't do dick with replay files
I tried open broadcast software and it's alright, but seems like it wastes memory. My processor is fly but my graphics card is shit, i already play on low.

Yes, brightwing is better than morales.

I was going to buy tlv but my friend told me something about a nerf, what is it?
I'm so tired from work and I have all these video games to play. But I know if I go home, I'm gonna be playing HOTS for at least two hours.
This game just works for me, I don't know why. I suck at it, I'm on a massive losing streak, but I want to get better and I love playing the characters I've gotten.
What is it about this game?
>>122229487
Maybe next year.

scaling changes coming with nov 17th patch
wait and see how good or bad it turns out
worst comes to worst it's going to be pointless to play as vikings due to how little exp soaking is going to matter compared to being able to engage in team fights
>>122230281
Holy shit, Jesus Christ, that is horrible. In fucking Paris? How could this happen?
>>122230480
They were saying it was "for Syria" or something, they don't really know. Probably ISIS related.

>>122230839
I'm on a phone at work.
I also don't have webms, but being at work is more pressing.
I'm excited to watch these when I get home though.
>>122228351
I use shadowplay. It's like fraps, but nvidia exclusive, and it doesn't impact performance while recording.
As a genuine bronzie who spends a lot of time playing and reading, how do you actually get gud? Going full retard with the team doesn't work. Same for just playing how you'd expect higher-ranked people to play doesn't work. It seems so hopeless. It's just the same old win/lose hard game in QM and "fucking teenager faggots lost the game and rage in chat" in HL every day.
I am very accepting of how bad I am and willing to improve, but how the fuck does it actually work? I just wanna have fun with a game that I enjoy a lot when it's going well, even if it's a loss.
>>122225713
Hi Feldwebel
>>122231552
There's some VFW shit that hardware-encodes on AMD cards too. It's pretty good and very configurable. Not on AMD anymore, but after a bit of tweaking I feel like it worked a lot better than Shadowplays does for me now.
>dated nvidia gpu
>amd cpu
>vista
i will never be able to record good webm's.
>>122231760
Lack of mechanics equals lower skill cap.
Enjoy being beaten merely because you don't play the same character religiously like others.
>>122232574
That's a contradiction. If there were no mechanics and a low skill cap, lack of experience with any given character wouldn't be a big problem.
>>122231760
Genuine bronzie meaning what, rank 30?
Also 90% of matches below rank 3ish are won/lost due to poor positioning of someone. Games are over before there was even a real fight because one or two people are picked off before a teamfight. So if you want to win, make sure your team is on point, ping a lot, tell them to stay together, etc.And don't be an asshole while doing that and they might actually listen.
>>122231760
Find a hero you enjoy and get good at them. Even if you lose, at least you'll be playing a hero you enjoy.
Focus on your own mistakes instead of focusing on others. Don't fixate, just acknowledge what you could have done better and move on. Watching your replays can help, too.
>>122232987
>rank 3-2
>not bronze
>>122232987
I haven't even finished the placement matches after the change because HL is no fun at all. People don't reply in draft and then rage afk once the game gets going and all that shit. Maybe I need to play during different times... It's just been horrible. Before the reset I was honestly hovering between 40 and 25 or whatever a lucky winning streak carried me to. It never felt like my team deserved the victories, it was just the other team being completely retarded. My QM MMR fell to 1700 or something now, I want to kill myself really badly.
>>122233049
That's what I've been trying. I'm not watching my replays like crazy, but I always try to ask myself "what did I do wrong?" even if my team did something I didn't think was right. It's only been about 150h for me, and I'm mostly just playing QM with friends now, but it's starting to get to me. Always politely asking team mates to do things as well. "x, could you y for me?" "I think if we might x we could y", stuff like that. But with afks every HL game and feeding teenagers at what HOTDOGS thinks is like 1kMMR it's no good anymore.
>>122233495
should be gold if I recall correctly senpai
>>122233578
kek, you think anything below the top 1% of rank 1 is not bronze, like the true bronzie shitter you are
>>122233919
But anon. You are the bronze.
>>122233545
You play with friends? Then who cares, it'll be fun no matter what.
I'm honestly at like, 1950 QM MMR. And I keep having losing streaks as I try to get good with a new character, so.
Just don't worry about it and try to do your best.
>>122232098
Can you tell me more? is it OBS with VFW? I have AMD cards and have been struggling to find a solution to match shadowplay.
>>122234002
One competent who is chill as fuck but never has time. The other one is a LoL-babby who tilts as soon as anything bad happens. It's really not much fun any more, but for some reason I just love the game. I could just stomp platinum tf2 pugs, but I don't care. Thanks for your time, man.
>>122234041
For VFW I always used dxtory, you can use everything with that. OBS is very limited to what type of encoding you can use, but it's easier to configure past the encoders usual options. Won't need that with Open VFW though, everything you need is there. Just download dxtory and try it I'd say. I'm too drunk to walk you through it, but it's not too hard.
>>122234312
VFW is deprecated in 15.7 drivers. I actually have dxtory installed and know my way around it. Is there an AMF solution to go with DXtory that I can output that to OBS? I'm trying to get 60 FPS in heroes of the storm with OBS but it's a struggle because of my first gen I7 CPU.
What do I do when the game says I was dropped? I don't want to wait for a fucking hour to get another game because it says i'm a leaver.

>>122230480
Hungaryball here. I told you motherfuckers about the wall. You didn't listen.
>>122235172
I left, and now I have spend 2 hours doing leaver league because the game decided to drop me. Fuck you, Blizzard.
>>122235017
Not that I know of, sorry. HotS just seems really bad at properly utilizing CPUs. Never been able to get consistent 60 fps recordings either. Not even 48 fps (which is what I stream/record at usually) now that I think about it. It's always been 30 for that game, and performance always drops when recording. I spent a considerable amount of time tweaking to, but I'm retarded, so keep that in mind and don't let it discourage you.
>>122235309
Doesn't Orban have some more "anti-Hungarian" satire to ban or theatre plays to censor? And I distinctly remember you pitiful lot being grateful when the wall came down 25 years ago.

French politics are worse than the US when it comes to immigrant
>We have to let immigrants in! They're poor people and they need help!
>but we don't have any space in paris, the only city that matters in france! Where will they work?
>let's just build cheap neighborhoods for them outside of paris, let them come up with a solution to that question lmao
And so paris is surrounded by ghettos of people who don't know anything about french culture, so they hate parisians and vice versa.
No wonder they keep getting those terrorist attacks in france with how they treat their immigrants. If you absolutely have to let them in, you probably want to not fuck them over so much they will hate the country and everything it stands for.
150+ confirmed dead by the way, multiple attacks. Still going on.
>>122236557
It's up to 150? I heard it was like 118 dead at the one concert hall location or something, that was like 30 minutes ago or something. There were like 6 or 7 other attacks right?
>>122236557
>french "culture"
>anything but unwarranted snobbery and whining
Who is the best hero to pick in HL when no one responds during the initial part of the draft, hovers over shitpicks and you don't want to give all of the enemy team full access to the top tier heroes?
>>122238236Sonya
>>122236301
Because they are not good atBloodline Champions
>>122236301
Dota = the original
HoN = a deviation of the original, made by and for veterans seeking specific changes
HotS, smite, bloodline champions etc = unique twists on the genre
LoL = cheap chinese dota knockoff that introduced the cancerous hero unlock system to the genre
What hero is that in the OP
>>122238236
Kaelthas for damage
Muradin for tank
Lili for support especially on maps like mines where you need sustain rather than burst heal
>>122238236
Muradin, Jaina, Kael, Uther, Sonya.
>>122239268
agree except smite is action-lol
>>122239268

>>122236557
Yep London at least kinda forced them amongst the general population, ghettos are a terrible idea.
>>122240903
the first really popular one anyways, most custom maps had shit pacing
>>122241617
I believe the guy was refering to the SC map Aeon of Strife which was very popular and the reason the assfaggots acronym exists
>>122241887
I was kind of including that in maps with shit pacing, though I guess I'm still wrong because I called it the original

What does /hotsg/ thinks of Artanis?
I bought it in a rage induced purchase when one refused to pick the blind against a team full of AA heroes. Feels a little underwhelming and his W is weird and sometimes would have you stand in place doing nothing if your target moves a small inch away from you. but seemsfun.
>>122246191
He becomes very good at level 16, before that he's a little underwhelming.

>>122249396
Angel and Demon lords on the diablo maps. Considering that we got fucking great evils and an archangel in this game, them being all bossy towards Diablo, Azmodan and Tyrael sounds a little bit silly.
>>122249646
oh yeah, them.
Getting to order around Nephilim that could kick their ass without blinking an eye is probably fun too
>>122249724
Are nephilim the strongest guys in HotS lorewise? It took Kerrigan a super sayan powerup to kill one evil god. Nephilim kicked the devil in the dick and then kicked the personification of death infused with power of devil in the dick.
>>122249916
Tech>Magic anyday fuccboi
I noticed Chu8 was streaming hots again, could he not make it as an overwatch streamer? I thought he was moving to that game.
>>122249916
Blizzard games are pretty badly written, characters generally don't have powerlevels between "hero" and "mook"
They just sometimes in the story randomly make one character beat the other to compliment the story.
>>122250090
When people where going >Dead On Arrival about overwatch they super serious anon.
>>122250090
He never planned to move to overwatch full time as far as I know.
>>122249916
Kerrigan and Tassadar both have godlike psionic power. They could beat or at least hold their own against the Nephilim. Arthas probably could too between Frostmourne, his physical strength, and Ner'zhul's magic
>>122250276
Arthas it depending, Illidan could stand toe to toe with Arthas and beat him except when arthas was close to the fronzen thrown where he could draw power. Arthas needs to be close to it to be at full power.
Kerrigan in LotVbecomes a god after consuming the xel'naga's power. So she would probably be the strongest
>>122250503
>Illidan could stand toe to toe with Arthas and beat him
that was before Arthas became the Lich King, and he was almost dying because of the crack in the Frozen Throne draining his power. WotLK era Arthas with the Helm of Domination and full power from the Frozen Throne would trounce any other Warcraft character and most Starcraft and Diablo ones in HotS
>>122250789
He needs to be in proximity to the frozen throne to be powerful, he lost to tirion in the dk starting zone because he wasn't there. He needs to be next to the frozen throne to be actually powerful.
People like Kil'jaeden and Archimonde could destroy him pretty easily, as Kil'jaeden was the one who created the LK anyway. He wouldn't be able to stand up against the aspects either when they still had their titan power. I think people think the LK is a lot more powerful than he really is in warcraft. People like Malfurion could also beat him, but he was trapped in the dream.
>>122250217
>WC3 TFT
>the entire expansion is spent building up to the inevitable confrontation between Illidan and Arthas
>Arthas shitkicks Illidan in like half a minute
>>122225360
How does one use Chen correctly? I'm thinking about trying him out, I think he might be one of those out-of-the-way heroes that if you can learn well then you can be a big bully.
>>122250789
>>122251487
Yeah without the power of the frozen throne I think a lot of people could beat arthas. Depends on if that power if available to him in the nexus.

How to put Bright wing back in HL
Pixie dust is an outright shield
Make flare not shit be giving it +50% range if it's going to be slow make it worth shooting, maybe give it just enough damage to make people notice they've been hit.
She's good, she just need a little pick me up.
So are block charges virtually worthless vs. Tychus or is it compensated somehow?
>>122252138
It's compensated by him being shit.
>>122229623
>>122250090
I think it's funny that mewnfare thinks everyone is going to watch him stream overwatch. The only reason he has viewers in hots is because there's no one else. His a medium fish in a tiny pond thinking he will do well in an ocean full of sharks
>>122251847
kick in the middle of the enemy team, drink brew so they waste time hitting you, smash keg and breath fire, run out because you have super speed.
>>122253157
Yep the only reason to watch mewn is because chu or grubby aren't on. He gets like no views when he plays other games, I don't see why you would watch him be bad at an fps
>>122251498
I've had that for years and I still haven't played the campaign, I just playedIsland Defense and DotA
>>122253289
Exactly. I remember him talking about it like don't worry guys there's other people I'm going to be streaming overwatch full time blah blah maybe some hots
Then he goes to overwatch and has like 20 viewer and goes back to hots the next day. I had a good laugh
>>122253648
Same thing happened to nickhots, he was shitting on hots for a while then starts to stream ow to like 30 people, then goes right back to hots a day or two later. ZPs too. It's definitely that hots just has a very small pool of streamers that they think they can make it in other games, when there is literally no one else to watch in hots most of the time.

Tyrande is best hero
This game seems like it's trying too hard to Jew me. The only hero I really want to try is abathur but nope, he's being hours and hours of playing shitty free rotation heroes.

>>122262473
He's one of the few totally unique heroes, especially for people coming from other dotaclones. So it makes sense for new players to unlock him asap.
>>122262638
well most people also unlock vikings as the first thing and then regret it

anytime Ive had a match on the ptr I had to just make a custom game
I see I missed a lot of Chen posting. My apologies, I definitely wasn't in Paris.

wow another lame meme orc warrior no thx
>>122263775
>another
there isn't even one you fucking retard
>>122263775
>Thrall
Is an Orc Shaman, not a warrior. He could barely qualify as a warrior, as he barely relies on Doomhamer for -anything-. He typically uses elemental powers above all else.
>Rehgar
Again, a Shaman. Less of a Warrior than Thrall in that he's an Earthen Ring Shaman, all about healing and mending the world, pretty much the opposite of anything a warrior is.
>Rexxar
Isn't really an Orc considering he's a halfling, and again, is barely a warrior at all. He's more of an archer/hunter type in that he's used throwing axes as his weapon of choice, and then of course bows in Hearthstone, but fuck Hearthstone. Relies on his animal friends for everything. Not a warrior by any means.
We have absolutely no Orc warrior characters. Orcs? Yeah, sure, but no warriors. If you want to complain about the amount of Orcs are in the game, I'd argue we've got a shit ton more Humans and if anything need ore Orcs, or in MY opinion, more of every other race. A Troll or Undead that isn't Sylvanas, would be nice.
Imperius WHEN???!!!

sonya uh finds a way
>>122266946
what was wrong with that Thrall? He like ran so far away from sonya when she used ww, the like does a loop around the azmo minion while the Jaina is dying, then when she is almost dead runs really far away when she wws again, but sticks around after sonyas team comes back.
Are there any other games that use the kind of Macro/Micro kind of gameplay that Abathur uses? The closest thing I can think of is Savage XR
>>122267187
it's QM, i'm amazed I got away with it
>>122267187
It looks like hes trying to dodge the spin both times
>>122266946
She always does
>tfw see deployed sgt hammer
>tfw feel bad for actually killing her like 10 times already, our team has about 5x more kills
i actually felt so bad for enemy team i just left her there and went after someone else, just popped a decoy to scare her away
i'm such a good person
>rank 6
>always get placed in pure rank 1 games
>>122268269
that is because you suck horse cock at the game, when players are super bad the matchmaking puts them with low level players so they can have at least some fun
>>122268269
It's probably an MMR matchmaking mess like usual or your MMR is abnormally high. Who can really know at this point
>>122235017
HotS is really poorly optimized. It's pretty much the only game other than Borderlands 2 (my GPU is AMD, so the damn physX shit is all over my CPU) that puts any strain on my CPU at times. The game shouldn't be half as system intensive as it is now, if it were optimized.

Felt good.Also I misclicked the first game and took keg toss on accident pls no judge
Dunno what happened, but I hated Chen when he was in free rotation the last time. Now I am loving playing as him. Chasing people around while casting them on fire is just too fun.
Which ult of him is the ideal, btw? I like both.
>>122269772
Keg takes a lot more skill to use while not necessarily having a bigger impact than SEF. Stick with SEF.

>tfw Blizzard is afraid of nerfing the top heroes because kiddies find garbage like KT "so fucking cool"
The balance of this game would be amazing if they just slightly toned down the top 5 heroes while slightly buffing the bottom 5
There's already a huge group of t2-t3 heroes that are viable but not overpowered
>>122268372
>Blizzard
>Slightly toning down
kek
I hate this game
>>122272527

So they added new Voice Lines for the heroes in Hearthstone. Do you think they just used the opportunity to record them for Heroes too?
That would mean we get Guldan, Valeera and Anduin.
>>122267819
>triple towers firing at you
How on earth did this person believe it was ever a good idea to chase into that.
which hero has the derpiest artwork and why is it Valla

>ancient spear out of octograb
>have murky's grubby tentacles over my toned barbarian body for the rest of the match
Anyone else disappointed they made the D3 barb a female
I dont hate the model but her voice acting is easily the worst in the game
Dunno if I save my 15k for Lunara or if I buy available heroes with the gold. I already have Morales, Johanna, Sylvanas, Brightwing, Leoric, Li Li, Valla, Tyrande, E.T.C. and Tassadar. Meaning to buy Abathur and maybe Kerrigan. How good is her, btw?
>>122274170
you could split the difference and buy her two weeks later
we're already waiting another month
>>122274136
I am disappointed the monk in HotS is generic bald monky guy instead of a delicious monk waifu.
>>122274136
>play withGerman voices
>all of them are sublime like sweet heavenly honey from angel bees
>>122274253
Lunara is such a cutie
>>122274253
True, but I already have all heroes on Lv. 5, so I am depending of quests to get gold now. I really want that cutie on release and would buy her with real money on release, but Blizzard hasn't implemented a proper way of buying stuff on their store where I live, so, well, fuck them.
>>122274253why does her year have 13 months?
>>122274170
tl;dr - aba biased here, but consider this:
>>What hero should I buy?
>Find the ones you enjoy playing
But seriously, Abathur is versatile and fun but if you're QMing solo it might be a shot in the dark if the other 4 players won't group up. I went down to silver getting him to like 11, but he was my first buy, so I guess it really isn't an excuse for the time spent to where my MMR is now. There's going to be a ton of assassins coming out that will both eliminate other roles from QMs until the matchmaking fix and prove the pareto principle of select good goys keeping this game alive, but regardless, the bonus attack speed probably won't let you down. Carry, familia.
If i buy Tyrael will i be useless in ranked?
>>122275256
Not if you don't play him
>>122275381
What 4k hero do you reccomend?
>>122275461
SONYA
>>122274986
Yeah, I always buy my heroes based on enjoyment, although that lead me into buying heroes I got tired of quickly (Valla). The time I decided to buy based on visuals solely, I deeply regretted. Nways, I played Aba when he was free and loved the concept of the hero. I am just afraid he will get bored quickly, since plenty of people claim he is unique at first, but gets boring quickly.
>>122275829
>bored
I meant boring
>party up with a random guy
>he adds two of his friends to the group
>we end up with a strong setup and win a bunch of matches just like that
>mfw
>>122272840
Valla is cute! CUTE!
>>122275829
I always liked the macromanagement of Aba, like the RTS view telling shitters what to do, but the other half is they actually half to be decent, or pick well.

Pop quiz, /hotsg/. It's the start of the game. There's an empty lane for your team. You're Nova. What do you do? What do you do?
