In theory, but usually you'll only clone a few select Heroes with strong base abilities and/or damage.
Jaina and Greymane, for instance. He's also a pretty okay way to try out the new heroes.
>>146499450
Just flex/smurf player things, I guess. Should probably just be a little more stubborn and focus on playing a select few Heroes.

Moving the level cap to 20 was a mistake and if you disagree you are autistic
I want hotslogs to show me which skin/color combination has the highest winrate per hero.
>>146500139
I disagree
>>146500184

but if u wanna go pro, u should use skin according to the map. for example, u r playing valla, use red on battlefield of eternity / infernal shrines, green on garden of terror, etc

They could just remove the level cap entirely, and not offer rewards for anything beyond 20.

>>146500223
an analysis of potentially autistic me:
inappropriate laughing - sometimes i remember something funny
no real fear of dangers - well, idk. i wanna die in violent combat, i wouldnt say im afraid, but i always get a feeling like im gonna get hit by a car when its behind me
may not want cuddling - ever since i was a kid i was disgusted by such unedgy actions, for real
may avoid eye contact - dont like human beings, 1st thing that came to my mind when i went outside today "i hate civilisation!"
may prefer to be alone - how does it have to do anything with autism anywY? STUPID
difficulty in expressing needs - i talk very rarely, so my speech gets fucked up, i will occasionally use sounds
spins objects - everyone does it wen they r bored, nobody does such shit in their free time tho
difficulty in interacting with others - dont like humans
am I aUSTICSC?
I WANT TO FUCK CHROMIE
I WANT TO THRUST HER CUNNY FULL OF MY COCK UNTIL HER LITTLE TUMMY BULGES
>>146500910
i didn't read past the first sentence and can say, without a doubt, you're autistic anon
Polybomb is hilarious against AI. Also, Medivh is a strong hero but sadly most people can't utilise him for shit. Certainly has good potential with a good player in a good team. However, both are unlikely.

I meant like johannas E/3. I could've sworn it used to do that.
>>146503048
No, it never did that, it just obscures your vision for a couple of seconds and silences you for a couple seconds more.
>>146502664
Eh, depends on whether or not I'm at fault.
Sometimes, yeah. Didn't Ancestral early enough, or I wasn't able to stun Li-Li out of her healing ult. Usually it's just people blowing off steam, though.
Like, even if Illidan dove too deep, too early for me to reach him with ancestral (and didn't dodge any of the CC thrown on him) usually best to try to accept a bit of blame, apologize, or whatever. I've had a surprising amount of games turn around just by accepting blame, whether or not I'm at fault.
>>146503048
Nope. Silences the target, preventing them from using abilities in addition to obscuring vision.

You should ideally have a vague idea of whatever heroes you are about to clone. Basic knowledge on how every hero plays is useful to have, but not deathly essential if you're still learning the game.

Oh, okay. Neat, I guess.

Only shows top 100 players? Any way to see the mmr of all your heroes?
Medivh is a terrible hero. Was he made to please the memers?
>>146523956
The MMR it shows is not hero-specific. That's just your general slogs MMR.
>>146524135
Oh, that's boring
>>146524135
It's a pretty useless leaderboard really...
It's basically just the top 100 mmr players, but you get to see which hero is their main. I have better winrates on my main heroes than the vast majority of those on the leaderboards
>>146517153
>mfw EU region has higher average MMR than US for every hero
>>146524396
It's not quite what you said, it lists the top 100 mmr <insert hero here> mains. I mean, it can kinda be neat, but ultimately not as useful as most of the other features on the site. And winrate by itself is not a really useful statistic, which is why the leaderboard is organizing by mmr. It only lists winrate and games played as little bonus statistics.
>>146524530
Friendly reminder that comparing mmrs from two different regions that intermix rarely if ever yields no useful information whatsoever. MMR is a meaningless number that only gains meaning when compared to other numbers in the same region. If EU has a higher MMR than NA, that just means there's a bigger gap between the best and worst players (not hard to imagine what with russia and all) in EU, and says nothing of where the upper and lower bounds of that scale actually are in comparison to NA.

So this guy is somewhere in his 20s or 30s, right? It's kinda hard to pinpoint his age, but he definitely wasn't born in the past year or so.
And he is from America, right? Or somewhere in Europe?
All of this to say... how the fuck was he born with the Zika virus, and how did he survive so long?

>>146543746
So, which one will it be after Gul'dan?
Varian, because august = Legion?
Auriel, because we didn't get a new support for 9 months?
Or Samuro, because his'a brade seeksuh vengeance?
>>146545569
Gul'dan -> Varian -> Auriel -> Samuro
That would be my guess.
>>146544630
It's Saturday morning.
People are still sleeping.
>>146545569
>>146545967
I'd say
Gul'dan first half of july
Varian august 2nd
Auriel august 30th
Samuro september
I bet we'll get Zarya this year, but will she be the one for october, or will she be one of announcements at Blizzcon? And what gimmick hero will they cook up for this year? Blizzcon is always three heroes, one of them super-special (Vikings, Cho'Gall)
>all heroes free this weekend
So, who else is avoiding hero league until this shit blows over
>>146546582
Zarya will be at Blizzcon for sure.
They'll probably reveal a SC hero as well.
When it comes to super meme heroes I'd have said Ragnaros who replaces the core. But it would be something of a WC overload after Chromie, Medivh, Gul'dan, Varian, Samuro and Greymane already released this year.
There's also the 25th anniversary of Diablo coming up. So I'd wager we'll get at least one more Diablo hero this year after Auriel.
My Blizzcon predictions would be:
Zarya
SC hero
Diablo hero (maybe Baal since he's very iconic)
Not sure which of them could be the unique meme hero.
>>146547965
>playing hero league at all
>>146548178
SC could provide some meme snowflake heroes.
Maybe Mengsk or a SCV or that shitty fucking Carbot concept Adjutant
>>146548770
Mengsk could be an Abathru like hero.
But then again they could also go full memes and reveal the Innkeeper from Hearthstone rather than a SC hero.
Ded as fuck. This is what happens if you don't post a preview Gul'dan. Are you happy Blizzard?

Less then a minute. I type good.
I didn't get an answer in the last thread, so I'll ask again
Why is my MMR going up but my rank in-game is going down?
>even on FFA weekend where MMR doesnt matter and skill isnt real, I cant win a single game
>not even by luck
fug
>>146552373
ok
>>146555946
You are winning plenty of games were your opponents have higher MMR then you, but you sill loose plenty of games?
MMR and rank aren't really tied together.
You can loose three games against people about the same MMR as you and loose 20-30 points a game, but then win a game were you are at a theoretical disadvantage and gain 100-200 MMR. So you could loose three games, and then win one and your MMR would go up.
It would be weird for this to keep happening, but it's possible.
>>146556120
Well I don't know what to tell you. I am 44 games into the new season and my MMR is up 150 but I have dropped 2 ranks
>>146556120
>loose
lol
>>146556042
>>146547965
Don't you need Hero Level 5+ to play that hero in Hero League anyway..?
>>146556152
>44 games
Man, I wish I had time to play like this, I have, like, 9 quick match games in the new season.
>>146556152
But where are you getting this MMR from?
If you really think hotdogs's representation of hidden MMR is accurate, it's really imprecise. I mean it's a decent ballpark figure but a 150 point descrepancy would definitley be believable.
>>146555221
This is as close as we'll ever get to having a Troll in HotS.
>>146556369
Hotdogs yes
It's really fucking frustrating. I lose rank points from "Personal Rank Adjustment" and (less often) "Favoured Opponent Adjustment" and I don't know why the fuck that is
>did you have to look up those words before you used them
HOW CAN SHE BE SO SMUG >_<
>>146556480
Well favored opponent adjustment means that the other team was favored so you get less points lost.
Idk what personal rank adjustment is but im pretty sure that at higher ranks it means you get more points for a win and less deductions for a loss, while at lower ranks you get less points for a win and more deductions for a loss from the personal rank adjustment.
Anyone know maximum time we can play AI game. Someone in thread before say blizz cap it so we cant farm.
>>146556871
>>146556480
Personal Rank Adjustment is points that are supposed to make your rank match your MMR more closely. If you're rank 30 with 3000 MMR and you win a match, you get PRA points.
>>146556934
So why am I losing points from victories when my MMR is climbing?
>>146557036
im sure someone over at reddit will answer this question
>>146557257
>>146557257
>im sure someone over at reddit will answer this question
What did he mean by this?
>>146557036
your rank is still too high for your MMR. I guess you're diamond or something but have a ~2000 MMR.
>>146557298
I'm gold 2 with 2000 MMR
Shouldn't I rank up as I get better though? Why is the game making me lose more points than I win?

>1: resistance on e

>10: lazor
>13: heal during d
variance:
>7: while quarterback is super cool and super effective against heroes like tracer that like to stay in the fight until they're about to die and then escape, relentless is too good to pass up most of the time, but if the enemy team lacks disables throw dem nades
>16: titan grenade is very cool, especially with quarterback, but generally you want the improved q damage since that's what you will be using when your d is down
>20: lazor upgrade is super strong, but depending on how the game goes every option has its time to shiine
the key to winning with tychus is really understanding just how fucking tanky you are after 13, you can heal through crazy damage if you have resistance from your e and get to hit a high HP target. and these situations, where the enemy greatly underestimates how tanky you are, is when you really stomp them. don't be afraid to just stand still and hit people while your d is up even when you're being focused
Queues/rankings getting more and more fucked up. Not enough people playing for the current system to work and subsequently even more people are quitting.

I went xul route though
>>146562548
when camp minions reach that line in front of your base where cannons start shooting, each does 1 core damage
>>146562141
>don't be afraid to just stand still and hit people while your d is up even when you're being focused
this has to be the worst tip I've ever read for this game, a single stun and you get nuked from orbit
>>146562729
looks like someone doesnt know how to tanky tychus is
well hopefully you're not fighting 1v5 and didnt run in guns blazing, but I've won countless fights doing this even when 2-3 people were on me because they too think I'd simply die, but then it took way longer than they expected and even though I did die, I took one down with me we comfortably won the fight
>playing medivh
>enemy team has a tracer
>cuck her out of all her ultis
>kill her off three times after she spams her blinks at low hp and I just portal next to her
Medivh is pretty fun for killing people who think they are safe
>>146562548
>everyone hates it
but its the best map
>>146562917
tell me more, Tychus was my favorite character until his revamp. I can't play him at all anymore, his damage feels hella nerfed and in teamfights I feel useless
>tfw 40 minutes game as kharazim
shit was taxing, having to be on point with palms is stressing
>>146564492
I just played a Medivh game where I shielded kharazim as he palmed himself
so much nerd rage
>>146564395
You should top or be close to top damage as Tychus virtually every game. Just let your D do the work.
In teamfights, really just dont be a retard. As long as you don't charge into 5 people without team support you shouldn't die. The only thing dangerous to you after lvl 13 is nukes, so be extra careful to not get caught out of position and nuked to oblivion.
>>146564395
>focus tank
>press D
>????
>profit
>>146564395
>literally everyone before mvp black started picking him in sonya league
They nerfed his early game while allowing him to be more of a threat to tanks in the late game.
>>146564672
or even better
>bait ass on you
>press D after lvl 13
>afk until enemy dies
LOL

>>146564856
it honestly looked like one of those 1047812740 clips of slug doing slug things
>>146564856
These animations are so cringey for some reason.
>mmr hell isn't real
>>146565330
I see you finally started using a bot.
>>146565330
are we gonna have the same soft reset at the beggining of every season?
>>146565417
How can a bot improve your stats?
Seriously though, only thing that has changed are the teams. Suddenly I'm not surrounded by mute Russians and beginners anymore. I think the ranking system finally works.
>>146565330
>tfw you get shit team mates for the first 5 placement matches and lose them all
>your mmr tanks like mad and even if you win the next 5 games it doesn't recover back to what it was
>>146566056
that worked in s0. here it doesn't matter, go 1-9 and end up in the league equivalent of what your rank was in s0 anyway.
>>146565484
I hope so, otherwise I will never be able to escape MMR hell
Still stuck, can't win games with these fucking retards in Gold
>>146566212
t. bronzie
Where the fuck is Kilrogg?
>>146566154
I had less than 100 games played in s0 so I dropped from games with diamond 1-3 players to games with plat 1 players after going 3 losses and then 50/50
Haven't bothered playing any more since it seems diamond and plat are full of people who haven't played the game in the past 6 months
>>146566465
Try playing Gold
I want to uninstall the game
>>146566212
Gold isn't that bad. Players actually communicate and play as a team.
I was stuck <30 in the preseason. That was absolutely pointless.
>>146566465
>>146566582
>>146566606
Goldy here. crapshoot at the moment, felt stable til more placement peeps started joining in and now it feels like a complete clusterfuck compared to QM and the past HL now.
>>146566606
Took me 400 games to go from 37 to 19
>implying mmr hell is real
how about just improving your game?
>>146566738
Why can't the game put me with competent people instead?
>>146566836
because it judged by your play that your level of competence is around gold.505
>>146566705
>tfw you get rank 1 in 65 games, including placement matches
even if you're a shitter like me and lose 8 out of 10 placement matches, you'll still end up where you belong over time
if you fucked up and became shit, then that's where you belong
>>146566836
because it's easy to win when you have competent teammates, it doesn't say anything about your own skill when you have 4 other people who can carry you
>>146566690
>>146566606
>>146566582
Try playing in silver
Everyone thinks that they can 1vs5 the enemies
Even the healers think that
>>146566884
>judged by your play
It judged the teams he was given, not him personally
>get KT on our team
>goes 1/8
only constant right :)
>>146565484
What reset? Nothing changed except how they display the numbers (no 1-40 anymore)
>>146566925
>>146566884
But I can't carry some of these fucking retards I get matched with
I literally had a guy ragequit in draft because he didn't get Kael as 4th pick and the banner banned KT
>>146566738
That's what I did. Look at the stats. >>146565330
If we assume that I'd have ended up where I am right now, we'd see that with such a fucking slow climb, it would've taken forever!
Probably a year or more. Not a damn week!
>>146567098
>ToSQ
>our capt bans illidan
>their capt bans xul
>draft KT
>wreck everyones shit
i honestly think people are not used to playing against KT anymore since he's always banned.
>>146567207
ok
i mean, that's fucking retarded, but it's just one game over the course of several hundreds that you'll be playing
>>146567098
feel free to continue being a passive aggressive little bitch about it on /hotsg/, maybe one of the blizzard customer service guys who lurk will have pity on you and ban your account outright so you don't have to be so pathetic
>>146567184
if you had actually bothered to check your match history on hotslogs after s1 started, you would've noticed youve been getting/losing a lot more mmr per game than before. i started playing in december, and before the `soft reset` hit, my mmr fluctuations after a match were in single digits, now theyre still in high 20's and low 30's
>>146567298
Most probably, but he isn't difficult at all. But sadly the average player can't really adapt or learn for shit.
>>146567372
That a useless post.
>>146567385
You mean, lose more in losses than you gain in wins? Yeah, nice """reset"""
>>146567372
I swear to God, I have one or two complete idiots in every game I play
>>146567428
>You mean, lose more in losses than you gain in wins? Yeah, nice """reset"""
just means you got lucky enough to get good teammates who carried your weak ass in your placement matches, nothing more
>>146567507
welcome to hots
blizzard marketed heroes to the casual crowd now it's swamped with retards who really don't know how to play the game nor do they care to get better at it. it's been a problem since day 1 and i doubt it'll ever get better. it's been a year and the average player skill level is still depressingly bad
>>146567507
Yeah, one of them is you ;^)
>>146567791
>implying placements mean shit
Do you even play the game?
>>146567428
>You mean, lose more in losses than you gain in wins? Yeah, nice """reset"""
no, i don't mean that. this is what i meant. you could have climbed if you really tried. its a shame
>>146567872
>using hotdogs instead of client
Oh my, it's retarded.
>>146567860
:^)
>>146566925
What was your initial rank?
I highly doubt even a good player could escape 30-40 in a reasonable amount of time.
>>146568098
oh yes they could, easily
Post-Theramore skin for Jaina when?
>>146568545
>wanting a skin for a gazlowe-tier hero
>>146568464
Even in high rank if you have 1 shitter you'll probably lose. What makes you think 4 shitters makes you "easily" get out? Good luck.
>cho'gall, medivh, naz and raynor
vs
>cho'gall, medivh, naz and tyrael
holy shit why is the matchmaking this awful
>>146568894
who won?
>>146568818
because you'll be playing with 4 shitters against 5 shitters and at a rank as bad as 30-40 a good player can easily carry with decent heroes
>>146568959
in progress
I am naz
>>146568894
>QM
There's your problem.
>>146568986
>>146568818
Wait 'till you get out of the shitter leagues. Frequently you have one feeder/dumb ass on your team that means instalose 99% of the time. Instead of putting you against competent enemies, it instead gives you chronic feeders. Lose/lose.
>>146569084
naz on the tyrael team, doi
>>146568545
>wanting shitty insane Jaina over glorious pre-Theramore Jaina
>Still no female goblin hero
uhh blizz????
Is there anything better than playing abathur and smoking some dank weed?
>>146569340
>inb4 b-but muh chromie skin ;))))
You just know what special type of retard they are.
>>146569356
dude you gotta try playing while drinking bleach, shit is gucci :D
>>146569087
I'm in master. And yeah one bad guy loses you the game, but if you were to put me at rank 40 (or bronze 5 or whatever the equivalent is now), I'm 99% sure I could just roflstomp my way to at least diamond 5 by just picking good heroes and shitting on people.
>>146569729
Probably. What heroes do you tend to play? I mostly play supports and >Abathur. All of these are shit to "carry" you ranks. Assassins would be the best, followed by warrior. Like a support can not make plays. You can't really do a whole lot by yourself. You're mostly as good as your team. You can make sick saves and heals 24/7 but doesn't mean shit if your allies still feed, ignore objective etc.
You can't save everybody. You can't fix stupid.
>>146568959
I won
Barely
Fuck that was an annoying match, with mostly just 3v3s. Matchmaker sucks chode.
>>146569729
No, you can't
MMR hell is real. I got put at rank 35 pre-season because I got unlucky with my placement matches. Took me 8 months and 400 games to get up to 19 before season 1 started. You can't carry really stupid people.
>>146570573
Sounds to me like you're just an idiot.
>>146570734
Sounds to me like you're an autist who can't empathize
>>146570832
You don't get put into 35 because of bad luck.
>>146570951
Yes I do
The game misjudged my skill level completely, it put me at 1500 MMR just because I lost what it thought were winnable games (from an MMR POV) but that were auto losses becuase of retard or troll teammates
>>146571106
Yes, I'm sure for all placement games your team got all trolls and misjudged MMR and all the opponents teams were perfectly fine.ONLY CONSTANT
>>146571106
back when i did my placements last year i landed at 16 with 1600 mmr, youre full of shit.
