They are in this thread RIGHT NOW!
How are you guys liking the patch?
>>148369918
Gul'dan is fun as fuck, devour the frail makes his W real nasty. I think the minion buffs is ok, it doesnt change the game that much but makes opening a lane to the core more impacting to the game.
Good patch overall.
>>148370156
No Butcher buffs/10
Just make his chain ult 4 seconds again and he'll be golden
>>148369918
pretty good.
guldan is fucking great, it doesnt feel op or underpower, he is just right, if you are good your going to do tons of damage, if you suck your gonna be destroyed.
>>148370332
>Butcher, Kerrigan, Murky, Gazlowe and Nova will never ever be legitimately viable
>>148369918
Gul'dan OP as expected
>>148370431
Murky is fine as is.
>nearly 100k hero damage on Nazeebo
Is this as busted as I think it is?
>>148370545
Far too much of a one-trick pony with the Octo combo, and his talents suck ass as far as diversity goes. Said one trick he has is also very easily countered by any competent team.
>>148370819
The thing about Nazeebo is a large portion of it is DoT damage, which, depending on the enemy Support(s) can mean next to nothing. He sort of pads the meters a bit.

Yeah we know, can something save it? Or it is really doomed, Waifus aren't enough
Who the fuck at Blizzard thought Rain of Destruction was a good idea?
Is Illidan still a good pick?
>>148377378
It ultimately depends on who can keep him alive in the late game. Even the simplest enemy team coordination will ruin any jump he tries to make an influence in. It's pretty damn hard to solo camps now if someone just gives you a love tap too.
>>148378441
So, with the right team he can shine
I mean like hammer, you have to build around him, more or less?
>>148378596
Sure, yeah. Those words.

dead thread
>>148383942
Yes and no, I feel less like a auto attack bot with the choice of Q spamming. I guess it's just the idea of getting used to her new setup.
(I'll be honest I didn't notice the changes until I saw one baneling pop out of her spawn hole. THAT was an interesting match.)

How can I best play Medivh?
Every game I play where there's a loss the Medivh always gets blamed. Even though I usually in the middle of damage output, have the most assists, and a pretty high exp contribution.
I'm trying to play him as a support and of course there's no way for people to tell that I've constantly saved their asses with my portals and shield. Plus scouting. Plus pressure with my Q.
What more can I do?
>>148397743
There was something about being able to click through UI in the patch notes, that probably caused that
>>148398110
I've also had people leave the minute I pick Medivh?
>>148390793
Lunara is pretty hard to play well, a lot of people suck with her.
>>148398110
Team up with a Murky, Xul, Thrall, Illidan, or ETC.
Medhiv is like Abathur but worse, he's only good at making his teammates useful. Perfect portal placements mean nothing if no one clicks them. Perfect Ley Lines won't mean people will focus targets correctly. Invisibilty will not make bad players better or secure escapes or ganks.
He's just a tool, not a hero.
>>148398557
That's what you call a utility hero, need a good team that understands how to best use his abilities to actually win.
>>148398110
Ask if people understand how to play with Medivh before drafting him otherwise pick something else if you want to win, or play unranked/QM if you want to play Medivh.
>>148398146
>>148397743
>He clicks to cast
I'm so fucking happy the Specter Phantom is available on its own now.
>>148398146
>>148399628
>>148398557
Yeah so far my experience with him has been less then stellar. Its 50% win rate so far and when we lose, we lose hard. Medivh looks hugely underpowered for the amount of work that needs to be put into him + what he offers. He doesn't offer nearly anything good enough to warrant such difficulty.
Polymorph? Bright has that
Shield? Doesn't last long enough/too low CD to actually make a difference when not used against specific heroes (it counters ults really well, but that's about it).
Portals are grossly underused by players or people don't ever want to use them for anything.
Guess its time to go on break again till the attempt to introduce another interesting hero.
So I was in game playing Nova because I'm so close to that level 20. For some odd reason I had the poverty horse, so I complained about it in chat.
What do I get back?
"Maybe you're gay."
As someone who IS actually gay I was just thinking. This doesn't even make sense. Are you saying that all gays are poor or something? So, as someone who is completely comfortable with their sexuality I reply with:
"Well I actually am"
And then the guy said that he was too, but clearly wasn't after he made a comment that I'm not even repeating here (partially because of the rules, and partially because I would feel disgusting).
So after I reassured the guy that I was gay, he didn't even reply. No apology, nothing. I proceeded to be nice to the team, since I didn't want to stoop down to his level, and throw out insults. I'm not toxic in game (unless I do it on accident and I don't know it).
So why am I posting this? To prove that even some comments that you think are funny can hurt people, and if you are making gay jokes, remember that someone on your team could be gay. People aren't just going to tell you in chat. And if someone does tell you they are gay in chat, they might be telling you the truth. That isn't your cue to spew off a bunch of comments about how you hate the LGBT community. You'll probably never play a game with the person again. So think before you type something in that chat box. I can't stop you, but I will report you. Just try to play nice, and stop making someone sad. Other people have feelings, and it's alright to apologize. Just try not to be toxic in general. It's alright to lose, learn from your mistakes. I'd rather make someone really happy and lose a bit of my MMR instead of making someone sad and gaining some. Okay. I think I blew off enough steam. Oh, and my formatting might be horrible. Sorry if it is.
Oh and by the way. You're on my list, and if I ever see you make another gay joke in chat again... I'm fighting. Hard.
This guy found out how to go from a meme to one of the best heroes in one patch, and basically, you're fucking retarded
>>148400745

im so fucking pro at lili it fucking hurts
lmao
So i've been getting alot more survey stuff, not sure if y'all have to. think its related to something though. So I decided to test it out

>>148403628
li li is the best support against morons, she can carry anyone to plat
>>148404856
id confirm the other side of this, I probably only talk 2 lines a game and very rarely get surveys, mostly how was your connection ones.
>>148400745
New copypasta?
>>148404856
I tend to get a lot of surveys about connection, map and the hero I was playing to the point where I don't even bother rating it
>>148400745
>For some odd reason I had the poverty horse
did you write a support ticket? did they confirm it was because you're gay?
>>148379254
I never use reddit, but I joined their chat channel.
Two reasons:

2) /vg/ has no chat 90% of the time and is empty

At least banelings are manageable and more forgiving with misses? (Still doesn't make sense why they're invulnerable but oh well)
Creep is free and range buff is alright.
Nydus heals are pointless since you can just link one to hearthpoint, loss of heals on creep really isn't noticeable at all.
I have a suggestion for Kharazim.
If his Q target is already very close to him, Q dashes BEHIND the enemy instead of to him.
ALSO: Epiphany gains a passive: If your Q target is very close, cast Exploding Palm on it (explodes 2s later for AoE damage, not much)
>might just be enough to make epiphany a gud pick
>>148422028
>Hating on Towers of Doom
>not Garden of Terror, Blackheart's Bay
theres no point to playing until maiev comes out
>>148398110
make sure that after level 20, with the extended portal range talent, you place a portal right in the middle of the enemy team, port in, use W on yourself, get cc-ed, die and lose the game.
>>148427048
you can already play heron sylv ;)
>>148399628
Not him, but im on quickcast, and as falstad i just flied 2 yards away because i Z-ed on the minimap. Shit don't work anymore.
>>148426435

Justify your recent match history not looking like this.
>>148428268
I play Warrior and Support because if I don't, nobody does
>>148428308
I thought so too.
>prepick hero, ignore draft
>ignore any request and argument
>stick to your pick
>silence ragers
Of course if you are last to pick you might want to pick warrior or support because you htink it will be better, even if I gotta say, I've won woughly 50% of my supportles games (tankless vs tank is more difficult)
If you are in the first 3 pickers pick what you think you can carry with and someone else will adapt even if it's not their preference, playing a skilled Zagara with a retard monkey Lili will win you more matches than the other way round
>>148428480
I have turned more games around with Tassadar and Johanna than with any of my best heroes. you just can't carry in Plat with Butcher and Nazeebo it seems
>>ignore any request and argument
yeah no shit how do you think I even get to play Butcher in Ranked once in a while
>>148428673
>Nazeebo
see >>148371143 and >>148371034
>Butcher
gold and plat are the ranks at which people still make terrible strategic decisions (mercs at the wrong time, favoring map objective over pushing a keep after a won tf, traveling near fog of war) but start to become decent at mechanics. Butcher is very easy to shut down after his charge if people conserve their CC and nothing screams JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP RIGHT NOW like you charging with the Furnace Blast animation, meaning you will charge, get stunned and focused down immediately
>>148428915
>Furnace Blast
only if you want to throw. there's never any reason to pick outside of extreme niche meme teams that rely on divine shield suicide bombing into enemy backlines.
and if you don't think GP Nazeebo is the tightest shit when allowed to stack then get the fuck outta here.
>>148428915
>huh my entire team suddenly has below 40% HP even though the fight just started
>probably nothing serious
>oh fuck why are we dying
That is seriously how most people play vs Nazeebo.
>>148427230
You regen the same, but just getting in the nydus is faster than hearthing unless the nydus entrance is super far away.
wish lunara would wave at me...
is the tourney on the last patch?

Why do they hate her so much?
>>148432947
The tournament is on the patch before the one we are playing.
>>148432947
you need to understand that these are professionals, literally above Grandmaster tier. they need to rely on pre-baked strategies that only work in a specific meta. you can't expect them to be good enough to adapt to new things without at least a month of training 24/7. they're too good at the game for that.
>>148433107
but what about epic and funny tourney stories to tell your friends???
>>148433107
Is there any game that forces players to play on a new patch that drops in the middle of their tournament?
>>148433237
if you were above Bronze you'd know that being aware of a current meta and adapting your playstyle is bad and shitty. you should only ever follow your original plan even if it doesn't work because this game is about matching 2 fixed strategies against each other. but then again, you're Bronze so you wouldn't understand.
>>148433274
are you implying they could have prepared for the tournament on PTR or even held the entire tournament on PTR to showcase the new patch changes? that would be ridiculous. unthinkable.

Nazeebo kinda needs a team that can force crowded 5v5s where everyone sticks together like glue. Johanna and Kerrigan synergize well with him because of that reason, either of them can drag enemies together which makes sure both spiders and frogs connect. Zombie wall is a bit of a liability before level 13, after that it just becomes free body blocks and chase for days. Where it actually shines is sieging and mercing which is what you're supposed to be doing anyway. My goals when I play Nazeebo are 1.) not dying ever (to conserve GP) and 2.) getting my stacks at all costs, even if it means leaving a finished merc camp to get one (1) auto attack in on a dying Erik, because +30% Ability Power on spiders, frogs, running zombies AND the unmissable garg summon impact hits fucking HARD outta nowhere. Granted, if the rest of your team is shit, you're dead weight. But that's the gamble you have to risk with most heroes anyway and Nazeebo at least has the chance to turn around really fast with one or two assists at lvl 20.

Because you were obviously playing a squishy with 2000~ HP.
Then you facechecked a bush 1v2, so you deserved to die.

You have to play him as an sustain assassins
Take Portal + Portal + Master's touche + Poly + Quickening + Healing W and lvl 20 is pretty much depending on their comp
You want to stack you Q at lvl 7 asap without dying. Once you finish the quest your DPS almost triples during TF. You want to assist as a ranged dps and get free poke on people and save your mates by shielding + placing portals at their feets ( pinging the hand assist sign helps too because usually they're too distracted to see them)
You can dive in ennemy comp if they can't stun you fast enough from crow form. Get in position, cast portal away + alt W and spam a Q and port away

Not sure if you guys have had issues in the past, but I'm on an ethernet connection and I'm having packet loss issues that result in my ping being much higher than it should be. Someone that also play hots on the same internet has no packet loss issues and has good ping on wifi. Any of you guys know a potential fix?
>>148446658
pingplotter to bilzzshit and see what's going on
other than that, clean up both your computer netwerk hole and the network cable, might be dust.
try it with a different cable. this was the issue for me some time ago, i had to take the cable off the walls and replace it, after that it worked like a charm

How are you even supposed to spec? I'm taking different talents every game
Any lunara player ever pick Splintered Spear ? I still pick Nature's Culling most of the time despite the nerf but i tried it on TOD and it's kind of fun, especially when you carry a charge before a fight since there's no time limit. Do you think it's now a better alternative than wild vigor on certain map ?
Also i couldn't see if the extra attacks of splintered spear get the bonus damage if you pick giant killer, anybody knows ?
Sad to see they didn't touch her 1 and 4 talents though.

Fuck, I don't really play the game much but I love this guy so much. Might start playing again. Maybe even try to git gud.

Nothing else interests me. They don't make good skins for the stuff I like, or if they do, I end up really loving their Master over it. Rehgar and Rexxar are examples of this.
Also going to get Gul'dan's Master. Fucking love it.
>>148450352
Cool, didn't know that, i will still take speed wisp most of the time.
I meant it more in >>148450515 way, shit looks like a punishment.
Level 1 blossom talent is a joke and you don't struggle with mana either, often pick reveal which isn't complete shit but still is the "less worst pick" in most case.
Don't get me wrong she's still very strong, cute and fun but these two tiers ain't right.
>>148451281
Buy anything that is reliable with enough buttons at 30 bucks unless you want esport money imho. Had a copperhead and a deathadder, they look cool and last long but are still overpriced products, and that might be the case for everything sold by this kind of company.

im a poor eastern european student with sociophobia, i play on a laptop and with an old ass logitech optical mouse, which is rumored to be around a decade old, passed to me from my younger cousin (he bought a new one and mine was broken), which was passed to him from his stepfather
the mouse wheel doesnt work, the mouse is slow and to play decently i have to max out speed both in windows and in game, and its not fast enough for me, for example, to be able to play widowmaker/hanzo on an acceptable level, im literally worse than the easiest bot.
in hots its hard too, but im high mmr with this trash mouse, heh....
end of blog
Oh man, lunara is fucking CUTE
>>148451281
like any $10 business mouse because they don't last more than 3-4 months for me. i also swap buttons in windows once it starts wearing so the buttons are dead at once but that takes some getting used to when you change.
could also look into fixing it to get a little more out of it

I stopped picking Nature's Culling before the nerf, its nice but Wild Vigor can do about the same damage to structures and its not like her wave clear is bad.
get guldan now or wait 2 weeks and get sonya masterskin instead?
>Stuff I like about the patch
-monk mana talent on 1 is really fun and actually viable at times
-uther is super fun right now and more viable
-kerrigan buffed
-kt nerfed
>Stuff I dont like
-tychus trait no longer ignores evsion, a huge nerf in terms of versatility and viability
-zagara is really fucking stupid right now, not even necessarily OP, just really fucking stupid
-minion buffs made comebacks much harder
>>148460521
The best thing about this patch for me was the globe buff. Helps out so many heroes and just feels more rewarding to pick them up and deny them.

>>148460521
>minion buffs made comebacks much harder
I kind of disagree, it doesnt affect comebacks but it does punish teams that are losing and dont capitalize on a team wipe to equalize the structures or win and Ive seen plenty of times where my team wins one or two fights and instead of pushing to win we lose because we didnt get to the core fast enough and the catapults plus enemy team fucked us.
The comeback potential is still there, you just need to take that chance instead of waddling around doing jack shit.

>>148461201
That's not even what I meant. With catapults especially getting this huge buff, a lane where you lost a keep (and the enemy has his) basically needs to be babysat 24/7. Combined with how standoffish lategame teamfights tend to be, it's super easy to get dragged into a poke battle around some crucial objective and just take crazy core damage or force someone to go back, getting into a 4v5.
>well just be decisive and dont get dragged into long fights
Duh, but still, you're on a much shorter timer now. Nevermind the fact that the opponent can easily exploit this by evading a true fight or just preparing an ambush as they know you will have to force an engagement.
At the end of the day this minion change made being ahead much more rewarding than it used to be, thus comebacks are harder.
my queue times are now back to where they were before the new ranked system
