yes but if you're new to the game you're just gonna be another crappy illidan ruining the game for everyone
placements are fucking terrible, every single game is like this shit
how the fuck do you die 8 fucking times?
why the FUCK do i have the most hero damage as a fucking specalist?
jesus Christ every single game is filled with fucking retards that dont know how to play.
>>145782904
- dont die in the 3v4 lane
- pick a hero that is good for chasing and killing vikings (zeratul, falstad, dehaka, etc.)
- go for objectives united and decisively - united so you outnumber your opponent at the objective, decisively because the longer you drag out an objective fight, the more value vikings get in lane
>>145783047
>specialists don't do hero damage
Placement matches went - 8 wins 2 losses, Diamond 3.
But my last match was a little unfair.. I got a Grandmaster on my team. (He was a tad rude but he played well so whatever.) (The victory caused him to jump 14 spaces on the grandmaster tiering, too.)
Does this mean I can actually be considered acceptable at this game?
>>145783336
vikings being top hero damage is fucking ridiculous though
>>145783387
no
everyone at like 3k got put into diamond 3 , masters or bust
>>145783662
Is 3k not acceptable? I didn't say exceptional.
>>145783782
3.4k is confirmed not shitter
>placement games

>silver 5
>mfw
WHY AM I PLAYING THIS GAME? JUST TO SUFFER
>>145783662
i'm at 2.5k and got diamond 3. the majority of my placements were with GMs, including a match that had four of the top 5 GMs. the game just kept using me as the shitter to balance out average MMR in each GM match
>>145784030
reminder placements did very negligible things in terms of rating, your league is 90% determined by your previously held mmr
>>145784101
GM doesnt mean much at this point
it's just who got a decent duoqueue and racked up wins the fastest
give it a couple of months for GMs ato accurately represent the best players
>>145784101
Yeah, I found myself (2400) matched against three 4000 players in the final days of preseason to balance out the one 4000 player we had on Abathur.
The other team had a 1500 Li-Li, or something to balance it out.
>>145784030
>tfw went 3-7 and got platinum 1 because I won more than half my placements in preseason then abandoned the account

It will always be what you reach.
>>145784697
If you were very good or very bad the rating squish had a big impact on your rating, but if you're the average joe it was a small change
>>145784697
>be literally silver
>waiting for revamp as I can at last be the rank I deserve
>placed back in silver
what an awful system right i hope they get mmr fixed soon
>>145784205
It must include QM MMR as a calculation or something then. By hotslog's measurement, by HL MMR was 2.4k (platinum-ish) but my QM MMR was 3.25k (top diamond/bottom masters). I ended the preseason at rank 8 (highest rank 6), and I got diamond 3 all the same.

>>145789543
dehaka is plenty tanky, there's no need to pick an ult that has virtually no impact on fights and is tricky to utilize on top of that
I'd be willing to bet it's the least popular ultimate in the game, it's not even one of those niche ults like bw aoe or one of a crappy ult that's at least fun to mess around with like BFG

King'thas still hasn't received a skin despite being possibly the most popular Hero.
:I
>>145789958
is more popular
also quickly skimming through heroes stage dive seems to be the least popular ult with 3.5% popularity, but I think that's just because mosh pit is so good
Is "Marked for the kill" (Greymane) the worst ult in the game? I can't think of a reason to pick this over the other ult.
>>145782934

I doubt it's possible to be placed lower than silver unless you go 0-10 AND were rank 50-45 during preseason.

Will say games do feel more consistent, at least at gold 3 so far. Placement shitters always feel like a wild card though.
how high does this number go?
>>145797187
Everyone from like 2.4k to 4k was pretty much guaranteed diamond 3
It means as much as rank 1 did - nothing. Masters or bust.

Just pick murky
Played ranked for the first time today. Someone picked illidian.
> Oh_no.jpg
He died 18 times and did a total of 800 hero damage. He was so bad that the opponents ignored him.
Can some one give advice about mid game for a noob?
When do you push?
I played dragon shire today, and even though we won all team fight we weren't able to push much. Camps was quite pointless, they got killed quickly.
>>145812018
Oh, and my second game was in dragon shire and an opponent picked abathur. Easy win, but I felt sorry for that team.
>>145812315
>Camps was quite pointless, they got killed quickly.
Often they are! Push when they go take camps.
You don't really have a set time to push. You can play very slow and just let waves come to you in a safe spot in the lane. Just make sure you get the xp and try to out level the other team.
Try to poke them out of lane and keep yourself high health, let your healer roam if needed, protect them if they may be ganked.
Fuck camps, get levels. on DS, getting the dragon is not as important as denying it to opponents, just hold one shrine at least and keep soaking.
>some fag picks abathur
>his team loses
>blames his other teammates
everytime
>>145812315
>camps are pointless
Yes, because people don't know when to take them
>last tribute spawned on the top half of the map
>grab your siege giants
>they destroy towers and half the enemy fort by the time the tribute battle is over
Most people just want to capture them *AFTER* the tribute fight is over, and then they'll just die in lane.
>when to push
When you know it's safe, or that the opposing team can't contest.
If Tychus, Anub'arak and Rehgar all show bot lane clearing waves it may be safe to grab the top fort, or if your team is 13 and they're 11, and Sylvanas is dead.
No, people aren't always able to make these calls, and it's generally best to be "safe". Ping away from that 60% health keep if the enemy team will be back up in 5 seconds, etc.
>>145813582
Yeah, it's the same with The Lost Vikings; "why didn't you all draft a perfect roaming comp omg", or Azmodan; "help i need stacks" or the "just defend me" Hammer.
>>145812315
>how mid game
Just don't die. Look to keep teammates safe, and for opportunities to catch opposing players out, especially prior to objectives (killing Valla before the fight even starts without burning Heroics practically guarantees the Tribute, etc)
>>145812315
>>145813379
More tips:
on CH, if you can get the first 2 tributes, let them have the third while you take the boss camp. DO NOT TAKE BOSS IF YOU CURSE THEM. If they take boos while you are cursed, just defend your forts/keeps and then group to burn the boss down. Enjoy your almost no damage and their wasted curse time.
BoE: Try to get shaman camp a little before immortals spawn. If they have shamans pushing you, poke defend while one clears the camp from your lane. You can lose as much to the shamans as the immortal.

Yes, it's almost as though he doesn't work very well in solo queue for that exact reason.

What other heroes are retarded good for QM stomping?
I just want to own all the broken mindless champs before I get tired of this game. I'm think about waiting to see how Broken Guldan is.

>League and Heroes toxicity
Funny enough I hear it as a selling point; that Heroes is significantly less toxic, and I've found it to be the complete opposite because the people who play Blizzard games can be absolute basket cases if you call them out on anything.

Silver, something like 1700 Which means bronze

It's a mega kill, and no individual on-screen credit is given because this is a TEAM game. :)

Just a Quick Match from a couple of months ago still stuck in my mind.
fifth placement match and last pick says:
>I don't play support
Picks butcher and we go without healer
>>145823635
Just kill all of the enemy before you need heals.
>>145823635
When did he say that though? I mean, if he said that in the beginning of the draft, couldn't Someone Else pick a healer? Do you really want a shit like that as your healer?
>try out unranked
>everyone picks warrior
>quickly regret my decision
yeah i dont think ill ever be playing this mode again
>>145824674
Not him, but I've seen last pick hover a healer and then switch it out for Tychus, Illidan, Nova or whatever at the last second.
I'll always just fill if others are being stubborn, though.
>they're either silenced or 100% deaf/mute for the entire game
I like how we can't get an optional All Chat but at the beginning of every match you're reminded that you can simply disable allied communication, hehe. :)
>>145824806
That's unfortunate, I've found it to be pretty good relative to Quick Match; most people seem to be willing to at least try to build a functional composition.
Oh, and people don't (usually) lose their shit as much as they do in ranked.
>>145824806
rather just do QM and fuck around.
>>145824983
I wish we could have all chat before and after a game but not during. Like, why is there no chat on the loading screen.
>>145823173
I usually ask in my ranked game not to go double warrior or double support. I have no idea why these people think it's good, maybe it was used in a tournament, but it never works out in any of my games. Double warrior -> nobody can kill anything and the tanks just get blown up by the dps. Double support -> nobody can kill anything and supports die.
>>145825364
I like to double support if one of those support is Tyrande.
Double tank isn't bad if one of your tanks is a bruiser, and if it's shrines, having a Sonya who isn't your main tank is kinda nice.
>>145825364
Yeah, just sort of wish people would get some things out of their head.
>one guy throws a fit and dodges because after I picked Anub'arak somebody else thought Sonya would be a good pick into Morales/Nazeebo
>>145825353
Eh, probably just the playerbase. People get bent out of shape if you b-step them, so I can only imagine how mentally shattered people would be if somebody puts a "?" in chat after Thrall uses Sunder in the wrong direction, or Nazeebo walls himself to death.

why doesnt this game have all talk or am i missing something
Are there any maps where an Aba is genuinely a shit pick on, regardless of player skill, talents and team skill/coordination?
>>145825867
There's some real shitters playing Heroes.
I sometimes play AI when my Internet is being shit or when I'm too tired to want to actually think about what I'm doing. I had an AI game where we lost forts and were at a level disadvantage until level 17. I had to work my ass off not to loose.
Garden Map: Diablo keeps roaming around not doing anything. "Diablo! What are you doing?"
"Looking for spores"
"You can see them on the mini map; there aren't any."
"Diablo!! There are no spores."
"Diablo, play the game with us! Get over here!"
"Diablo!! That isn't helping."
Zeratul only PVEs.
Jaina only feeds.
It turned into 2 v 5 Brightwing and Muradan win the game alone.
When I looked at the player data for Diablo and Zeratul, it was shocking. They both had 100% loose rate in all their quick match games. They were level 35 and 40. They had under 50% win rate in AI games.
They couldn't have been little kids, it was 2AM on the US servers. I just can't even fathom how you can be that bad after playing so many games.
Is Nova still the most cucked character in the game?
>>145826178
Spider Cave? The one lane map. Maybe?
>>145826178
>maps
Definitely Tomb. Battlefield also doesn't seem like it'd really be his thing.
>>145826167
Because the majority of players couldn't handle a simple "lol" in All Chat after getting 1v1'd, 5-man ganked, etc.
A few'll say there isn't any point, but I think it's an important part of the moba experience. Just make it optional and let people disable it.
>hurr it'll let teammates throw games easier
If one person on your team is actually interested in throwing it's already over.

whats the combo?
>>145838094
Silence of the Lambs plus Stim, probably.
Land an R on more than two people late game during Stim and they're just toast. Tons of healing/mitigation on the Butcher, too, between his Brand and Morales' Q and W.
>>145837473
>didn't take cleanse when all she intended to do was healslut her partner
>furnace blast against that comp
No sense made in my mind, but Butcher players, so.
>>145834940
Ugh, it hurts because I haven't done anything but be a flex player until now but Zeratul is probably the most fun I've had in Hots in months.
>lost all eight games played with him
Maybe it's the sample size because I don't feel as though I'm doing anything too horribly wrong.
So /hotsg/, bronze here, what are some decent first picks when KT/ Li Ming arent banned. Whenever Im first pick and its possible to pick either "chinkling" or "le ashanalore elf" my team usually demands one of the two, problem is I dont have them, and dislike playing them because of how OP they are.
Do I really need them for HL? What are some alternative first picks?
>>145840862
Suggestion: Inform the player in charge of banning you own neither Hero so he can either ban Ming, forcing the opposing team to risk letting Kael'thas through or simply banning Kael outright.
Good first pick material (in my opinion);
Johanna, Zagara, Anub'arak, Thrall, Xul, Rehgar, Falstad, Tracer, Greymane.
>do I need them for HL?
No, you don't.
>team demands one of the two
Kael'thas is great. Li-Ming less so, especially on specific maps.
Xul is busted on tomb, and potentially on Infernal Shrines if your team is capable of winning the early punishers and can't content with the split-push.
Zagara on Blackheart's Bay and Tomb.
Sylvanas to snowball Battlefield and Infernal Shrines.
And so on.
>>145841334
Might actually just go ahead and tack Sonya onto the list, too.
>excellent jungler, capable of soloing/invading bosses
>fantastic duelist

>outside of knowing when to delay whirlwind usage and hitting good Q's she is relatively easy
This game is shit, name one reason why you should play it over any of the other MOBA's?
>>145844346
Uh, because you enjoy it?
>>145844346
I don't play it
>>145844346
For the same reason anybody continues to play anything.
1) Invested; time and/or currency spent
2) Friends/connections
3) Familiarity/habit
It's not as though many people are going to be playing any of these games on any significant level, so I don't see why the occasional Diamond four wanders over to ask why everybody isn't playing that League thing.
No idea how dota works.
>Play hammer for first time in over a year
>She's level 10 for me, she used to be fun
>The game sucked shit and had no "fun"
Not touching her again for a long time. She just doesn't work well anymore. Especially if you're not in a coordinated team. Not much point playing her either if you compare her to other DPS.
how do i auto-space / orb / kite whatever the term in this game?
like if im playing as valla what do i set as my hotkey or something in order to auto-attack then kite back as efficiently as possible?
>>145845120
....what? Orb? Orb in HotS?
You move. And attack. Then move again. Instead of just standing there attacking constantly. That's it.
Is battle.net down for maintenance or is Blizzard fucking with me?

*this topic has been answered so the thread is now locked*
WHEN THE FUCK IS HAMMER GETTING A REWORK
It's fucking mind-boggling how bad she is right now. I always liked her and she was always shitty, but at least she had niche and, in the right comp against the right comp, you could do some fun, if silly and easily coutnerable, things.
But now she doesn't even have that. Her damage even in siege mode is shit. Her hp is pathetic. Her non-mobility has become an insurmountable hurdle with more and more hyper mobile heroes introduced as well as heroes that utterly destroy anyone standing still.
>>145848476
just ban her
It's been like a year since I started playing this game, and I still can't for the life of me decide on a hero to get good with. I want to get good with Zeratul but a lot of people tell me that at higher ranks he's just a worse Illidan. Should I just try to get good with Illidan instead? Can Zeratul be a carry hero? I'm interested in playing carry heroes in particular, which I know is in contrast to the game fundamentally... but you can't deny that some heroes have greater carry potential than others.
Really, I have trouble in games like this where I can't focus on one hero/class/whatever. I keep just moving around and leveling up a little bit of everyone and I'm just kinda shit at the game as a result. I'm pretty good with Chen and Li Li and have them both at level 10, but am a little burnt out by them and want to play heroes that are more challenging and I'll be noticed for playing well, as lame as that sounds.
I dunno, guys. Should I continue to try and get good with Zeratul? Will that pay off in Hero League and when I play with my casual buds in QM?
Having mediv on your team is a loss waiting to happen.
at-least chromie shits out damage
>>145848636
Zeratul is fine at any level.
Illidan can carry.
You should aim to master all heroes, having mains is another way saying you're a bad player in games like this.
It's another 'Zeratul that doesn't know you can cancel VP at any time' episode. Why do so many people play heroes they are so shit with in ranked? Like come on, step up and stop being a faggot.
>watching tracer with Get Stuffed 1-shot 2 squishies instantly

It's bugged. It doubles the explosion.

it wouldnt be so if u dumb little bitches made use of my portals to gank on lanes, retreat, engage aggressively when enemy in bad position, etc. stupid fucks, hope u all die from C-A-N-C-E-R
when its a loss with medivh its probably because the medivh was good/mediocre and he was matched with 4 dumb fucktards who didnt make use of his portals because they cant even bother looking at a hero spotlight during release
