Is not fun to play when the enemy team has a Stitches who never misses a single hook.
the health regen and healing changes the intern team in charge of balancing is `thinking about` isn't really set in stone right? i mean, they WILL listen to reason from people on the forums and______redditand throw it into the trash, right?

IM PISSED OFF ALREADY JUST TYPING THIS OUT... IF U LOSE A GAME AFTER U B-STEP, U HAVE TO FUCKING COMMIT SUICIDE, KILL URSELF, UR THE SUBHUMAN TRASH

Upvoted. Can't afford gold right now, so have some Reddit silver instead.
>>145504032
Come back in six years when you're actually 18 and not throwing a sperg tantrum.
i was rank 8 and ended up 4-6got plat 3 which is the same as rank 8
>>145498959
He must've chilled out big-time come WC3.
honestly this is how it should be, how i expected it to be, i just wished that hots would finally become a decent game...
rank 50-25 = bronze (ACTUALLY BRONZE)
rank 25-10 = silver (ACTUALLY BRONZE)
rank 10-3 = gold (ACTUALLY BRONZE)
rank 3-1 (till 2900 mmr) = platinum (MEH)
3000-3500 = diamond
>3500 = master league
Where does someone with 3k mmr end up in the new system?
>>145506940
Bronze.
The answer is always Bronze.

I forgot how well ETC meshes with so many team comps. Last match my team had zero burst, but Tracer and Tychus really benefited from Rock Star while they hammered on enemy tanks and squishies.
It also feels like these placement matches have people who can utilize Mosh Pit better than QM...

Who fucking knows. Blizzard said they loosened MMR, so I'm guessing you get more points for a loss and for a win.
I'm curious to see if its actually going to affect matchmaking, or if you still get stuck with bronze and silversbecause the game is dead and not enough people play HL
>>145515027
Why did they get rid of it? It made sense. GL for Abathurs getting XP now.
>nerf a non fotm/overpowered hero

Blizzard once again.
>>145515027
>>145516553
I was under the impression they did, but only if they deal the last hit.
>>145513828
No, or not reliably. Perhaps after 13/16.
>>145503242
I do this all the time, It puts enemys on tilt.
I make sure to do it on stitches
>>145516553
It's been that way for a long time now
>>145516730
Last hits do give xp but before the ranged attack or spawning 3 at once the chance of them getting the last hit is pretty low

You're doing everybody else a favour instead since you sound like an unpleasant person to play with.
Should I go ahead and start doing my placements?
Or just do qm until everyone (including myself) gets used to medivh and other changes?

What's the point of a ranked redesign if they're not going to do a hard MMR reset? Placement games have next to no impact on your placement. It's all the same shit. Fuck this game, I'm done.

Goes to show MMR (In every multiplayer game) doesn't mean much.

>>145530302
>>145530236
Sick of seeing this on here.
Mount and mounted doesn't mean shit for cloak. It USED to like a year ago, that's why cloaked used the little goat mount. They fixed that long long ago. Moving is only easier to see because well, it's moving. Nothing magical or game-only.
>>145531668
>Goes to show MMR (In every multiplayer game) doesn't mean much
this is just retarded
>>145531762
>Moving is only easier to see because well, it's moving.
And mounted is easier to see because it is moving faster, it catches the eye.
>>145531668
>In every multiplayer game
In every team game that doesn't take into account individual skill and only win/loss
Fixed it for you
>>145531762
I don't know why exactly, but it is definetly easier to spot. I usually have a hard time spotting cloakers but mounted ones are really easy
>tfw you get tomster and bigge on your team

How does Medivh even die? They always on my team have the most deaths yet they have global flying, invuln, shield/statis and shit. Like what the fuck. And they're useless as shit.

Should have done everything they did in the last year at the release. Now everybody has left. Really rushed game.

>>145539071
It's true the game was still in beta for a year after release. No one wants to stick around for that.
If they promoted it really hard it might get people to give it another chance, but I don't see that happening.
I suppose you can't Symbiote Uselessivh's bird form?

>3-10, diamond 3
thanks bliz.
lol. just as expected, the dumb /hotsg/ and /r/heroesofthestorm faggots are shocked of medivhs low winrate and start to think he is a pretty weak hero. ye, in ur hands he is. just like i said, dont play him unless you're like 3600 hero league mmr at least, you need to be a human.
>>145540246
Everyone competent knows before he even came out that he needs a decent player AND to be in a coordinated (5 pre-made/not a pub) to be useful. Which is a shame since the game desperately needs non-niche supports.
>>145540775
> to be in a coordinated (5 pre-made
hello bronze. oh wait, srry, diamond*, because rank 2 = diamond according to dustin browder lol... when in skill it is truly bronze
>>145540875
Did you have a stroke? Or are all Medivh faggots braindead?
>>145540246
I don't think there was anyone who said he would be op, but they said he would probably be good in coordinated team play at a competitive level.
I've been enjoying HL a lot more with these changes, it's probably because a lot more people are playing or something, but even my loses have been good games.
elemental chicken mount WHEN?
My third placement match a guy disconnects for 9 minutes at which point we've basically already lost. When he finally gets back in he blames Windows Update and then the guy who instalocked Tracer announces "afk" and actually does it. The game was over at 12 minutes.

>>145549095
it doesnt matter when the devfags consider rank 2 to be diamond material when skillwise it is league of legends bronze
>>145549095
I went 5-5 in placements (3 loses we were ahead all game and threw so fucking hard), I was rank 1 then I got placed exactly diamond 3 500 points in.
>>145549095
Grandmaster 1
so my smurf MMR in qm is already screwed up because i played solo and all it takes is to lose 3-4 games rofl, sitting at 2500. 1 loss = -200 mmr. i guess ill be having a bad start in hero league
>>145549874
Diamond 3 is the highest you can place scrublord
>>145551348
Wow thanks for telling me
I actually believed he got placed as the best player in is continent
So, was this "uncertainty reset" just a big scam? Or was Blizz overly cautious with how soft the reset was?
People are constantly reporting roughly the same new rank equivalent to their previous ranks. There's cases of people going 9-1 and staying in the samebronzerank whereas rank "1"s going 2-8 and landing Diamond 3. I get the result should be around the rank you were but wasn't the whole point of this reset to let you move ranks easier if you feel you were stuck? Even if you did really well in the placement games?
It was basically a visual change
So I can't play atm, how's the unranked draft?
It's a bronzie'tas take pyroblast on Medivh patch
>>145553781
Because Shitivh will just stop the Pyro on anyone it's cast on?
I'm not a poorfag and I have 38k gold. Should I save this gold for master skins? If I spend 15k on Medivh, will I run out of gold for master skins? I have 4 or 5 heroes level 9.
>>145553841
Gee I dunno anon, do some simple subtraction.
38k gold total.
Scam skins are 10k gold each.
Medivh is 15k (10k if you wait 2 weeks) gold.
38k - 15k = 23k. Enough for 2 goodgoy skins.
>>145549095
pic relate
how many wins you got? for d3
>>145553959
OP here, I went 5-5. I was 3.5k mmr before the soft reset though.
Ranked feels like QM tbhf
>>145554184
You think the people are magically different? Retards everywhere, anon.
>>145553920
Yeah I mean will the rate of gold accumulation be enough to keep up with consitent master skin purchases?
>>145554213
Wasnt like that the last time I played in Dec '15
But then I was duo-queueing
Rip 66% winrate. Hello forced 50
>>145554050
i see i was rank6 at soft
have smurf at NA rank1 dont know mmr will see what i get there after the placement
>>145554269
What did duo-queue do to you exactly? I find solo to be decent. Duo queue shit and 4/5-stack to be incredibly hit and miss.
>>145554252
Depends on how much you play. How many quests you do. What other shit you may or may not buy. If you spent $ or not. It's up to you. And like if you buy a heap of shit and find yourself short on something else, who cares? Just wait a little bit and save. Only way spending gold now is on 15k heroes (absolute shit, don't do this) and arguably 10k on heroes since they seemingly all eventually drop to <10k. But buying 10k is fine, if you really want that hero.
>>145554269
forced 50 is ruin this game

based gfe
seriously fuck everyone playing medivh in QM
Medivh adds no fucking damage to a comp, basically a support who can't heal, which if you then get matched up with another support who doesn't do damage (lt morales), you've fucking lost the game for your team at the load screen.
I got Diamond 3 going 3-7
Seems like ranking won't mean shit until the grandmasters one
>>145556462
How long will the Medivh in every team in every game start to really taper off and end? He's shit as well.
I feel like many of morales talents are under whelming and her one damaging ability is overall counter productive to contributing outside of running away.
Heck many of the supports Ults and abilities feel extremely underwhelming. After finally trying out Reghar, I can see why people would keep picking him period. A nice heal, noticable damage buff, a very effect AoE slow. Trait is very neat as well.
>>145498667
Top and bottom die one on one. You and your partner kill 2 of the 3 idiots in the middle.
The entire game is struggling to pull your team along; the only team barely matter.
Those are the worst games. Improving MMR seems to reduce their occurrence, but never stops them from happening completely.
>>145557358
they really need to just redo the whole support class
more of them should play like Uther, Kharzim, Tyrande, and Rhegar, less should be like lili and Lt. Morales
Tyrande is the only interesting ranged healer imo, the rest just are walking healing pools
anyone watching the game?
>the throws
>>145557583
Not on your side of things. I like healbots and dedicated supports. Not everything needs to be dps.
The problem seems to be trying to balance things out. Tyrande is a good example because she has a low health pool but otherwise very good utility and moderate damage in exchanged for lower the average healing.
It's just crazy how some of the abilities and ults are designed though. Morales' 25% damage reduction for a shitty amount of time vs switching over healing?
Malf's PLEASE TARGET ME BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET THIS CLOSE ults. Also counter-productive HoTs.
Lili I'm not gonna say anything about because seem's like she's designed for the most retarded of players, and if you consider that, she fulfills her role.
Uther's trait. Uther's extremely subpar melee damage. Dat single heal mana cost and CD.
Kharazim is fun and also punished accordingly. Also a DPS ult people want to use.
And probably other issues I'm missing with other supports.
wew why didnt i play this hero after reworks

>>145552434
Only played two but I like it. The ques are fast for the moment and it lets me play a more organized format with my friends who dont have a lot of heroes at level 5. We would often get in with duo ques that would line up to specs and play their own little game badly but we still won. I think most people treat it like ranked but aren't quite as serious. For instance kt and ming bans still occur and people try to get a decent comp usually but they care (and rage) less.
>>145560089
What a balanced hero. She gets stronger and stronger the more I learn about her stupid shit.
>gayforce
lol
I like Tyrande. She's fun. I particularly like her in dual healing comps where I can go straight damage talents. I especially never liked Shadowstalk.
Yesterday, while trying to level her up in quick match, I got a comp where I absolutely had to go full healing, which meant I would be trying Shadowstalk for the first time seriously.
It's WAY better then I thought and doesn't always need to be used as an escape / group heal. Five man stealth gank is hilarious. ( Ignoring the fact that we let the bomb eat us more then it should have. )

this art style SUCKS BALLS
>>145555059
You can't accumulate enough gold to regularly get master skins. Buy a warrior and a support. Don't buy 15k heroes but 10k is fine if you want them. Slowly build up a solid repetoire of heroes you like playing do you can fill roles if needed. Anub and jo are a lot of fun I swear.

Remember Warcraft Adventures and Starcraft: Ghost? Me neither, because, unlike this outworn meme, these actually were killed off.

that nigger with the typical afro shit makes me lose my shit every time I see him
Starting to get games where there isn't a Shitivh in both teams. Already, very quick.
>>145560948
Yeah, I fucked up my MMR when I first started and have only just recently gotten it up to 2000+. I used to play after getting home from work, which is about the time schools let out. Those games were just too awful. Now that I play mostly in the early mornings and at night, I win way more then I loose, but my MMR rises at a snails pace even though, out of the last 10 games I played, I only lost one.
>>145560948
I don't own Kael yet, was his build really that bad? Our Chromie was the one who's talents were really bothering me. Peer into the future, Dragon's Eye, no increased range, that stupid hearth talent that she never once managed to get off.
STOP PLAYING FUCKING MEDIVH YOU FUCKING AUTISTS
YOU ARE ALL FUCKING SHIT WITH HIM
STOP PLAYING THAT FAGGOT
How to spec Sonya?
>>145563097
Some people will learn to play him well and stop being shit, some people will decide he sucks because they blow at playing him. His pick rate will drop off. Is this your first 'unique' new character?
People had the same shit fit with Lunara when she first came out.
>>145562620
kael pretty much 100% pick/ban atm, you should get him asap
go fel infusion/mana addict
nether wind
gravity crush
phoenix most of the time
pyromaniac
sun kings fury
master of flames
chromie is just a shit hero, doesnt even matter what talents you pick
>>145563227
The only talent I always take is the one that lets the chain always pull you.
>>145563307
How? Lunara is hilariously strong and easy.
>>145563368
Do you guys actually get game without KT being banned? Because as it stands, I'd just waste 10k gold on a character I'm only going to be allowed to play once he's nerfed. And then I don't really need him anymore.
Khaldor is just as horrible at casting hots as sc2. Wrong on pretty much every call.
>>145563227
lifesteal
focused attk
heal if you need more healing
follow through if you can slam pretty safe
wotb
spear or spell shield if shit like liming + kael
shield or imposing presence if lot of AA
ignore pain
>>145563892
Not the same guy. That wasn't always the case. When she got released her poison was so horribly undertuned some heroes would still regen health despite being poisoned.
Also, she had shitty aa animations which made efficient stutterstepping with her near impossible. On a fucking aa hero nonetheless.
>>145563892
When Lunara came out tons of people would go too deep with her and die over and over again. Plus everyone was all, 'No stuns, no escapes, and not burst! Worst character ever, do no pick.' But no, she's always been good, even before her health buff.
>>145564146
>Also, she had shitty aa animations which made efficient stutterstepping with her near impossible.
I've never understood this? Do people watch animations for autoattack? Don't you just need to know your attack interval and timing?
>>145563097
dude it's QM, what the fuck do you want, for them to unleash their medivh boner in ranked?

How is everyone's placement matches going? I am having pretty bad luck with teams.
Game 1 - Crushed them all game didn't lose a single fort,were pushed into their base with 2/3 keeps down both teams take bosses on cursed hallow, team ignores their guys and tries to focus their base and fail due to chain stun team they push with their boss and win.
Game 2 - Win but it doesnt count
Game 3 - Win game says i have 2 wins but only saying i have played 2 games
Game 4 - Dehaka feeds 19 deaths in 15 mins and we lose
Game 5 - Crushing the enemy not a single turn in on their side on pirates, team engages with 22 coins when we should be handing in, they all die and chests pop tracer rage quits and our kerrigan is feeding non stop we lose
Game 6- have the same kerrgian WHELP
>>145564552
Artanis, he's super fucking fun with Medivh, and you'll more then likely get a Medivh.
>>145565653
>Kerrigan feeding non-stop
What was her name? Because I have also had a Kerrigan that died at least 12 times in one of my placements.
>>145565875
Isn't that what Kerrigan does? All Kerrigans do that. Some people just don't seem to understand how bad dieing in is Hots, especially later in the game.
I once had a Leoric tell me, "No, I have to die to get into ghost form." when I accused him of feeding.
>>145565875
Murky
>majority of games you have one chronic feeder that usually shit-talks the entire match and rarely contributing with objectives and teamfights
>meanwhile this hardly happens with the enemy
Totally not bias matchmaking, right.
Are the mines not in the game anymore? What happened to them?
>>145563097
looks like you're missing some key vg mates in your team m8
>>145566461
They are broke and unliked so they took them out of rotation for repair (forever). Some characters don't work right in them. Also you can still custom game them.
>Mfw first pick nova
We still won but ffs I Thought these scrubs were taking out of HL
>>145539071
CUTE
How come there are not many cute nova images?
This game really needed a hard reset. Without it, the new Season 1 ranking system is largely cosmetic. I'm done with this shit game.

Memedivh feels indeed very underwhelming, I think the problem is he does a little bit of everything, damage, support, disrupts with polybomb, but excels at nothing. Really expected more from a literal legend, fuck you Blizz I want 15k back.
Is hotslogs putting the unranked draft and hero league in the same category?
>>145577062
looks that way, probably unintended
Or people are playing. Know /vg/ plays regularly on the channel.
Well I ended up in gold 3, but I'm shit and haven't played in a while so that was expected.
>>145503242

Hero builds?
>>145578714
Really? There's plenty of games where people can spam ANYTHING. Why would this specifically trigger people?
>still have to play with placement players
>i'm last pick
fucking kill me
>>145579110
i think it's because it's pretty much the only way to taunt someone in this game, apart from maybe spinning on their corpse or s-walking
Best 3 heroes for each role for the process of grinding up through ranked?
