Heroes of the Storm - It's like if Blizzard made Smash Bros. but not! - Games

Oh man, I just found out that Blizzard apparently has the rights and has renewed the trademark for Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. Metal Arms was a hidden gem on the GameCube/xbox/PS2 and was a third person shooter which takes place on a world filled with robots. [IMG]https://m1.behance.net/rendition/modules/5575144/disp/0a7802d9ae6b9debda74984e53552944.jpg[/IMG] The main character, Glitch, stored weapons he found inside of his backpack and could attach them to his arm at any time and use them. He could also hack into enemy robots using a special gun and special arcade machines found in certain levels. I would probably piss myself about as much as I did when they announced the Vikings if they put Glitch in HotS. You could easily make his trait an active where he cycles through different weapons for different auto attacks.

Yeah, getting to finally play Arthas again since Wc3 is fucking awesome pls buff his ultis

He just got mega nerfed, he probably isn't going to be good for a while now.

any stitches tips? bought him with my 7000 since I figured he'd be fun. I'm assuming the slam build is the best typically? Any special tricks with the hooks besides them going over obstacles but being blocked by buildings?

Is either of Magni's ults particularly better than the other? I really like taking the increased jump range with Haymaker and diving squishies to give up to my team. Or should I really stick with Avatar and just be super tank?

The hook is pretty straight forward but there's some spots where you can hook someone into a spot where they can't run away from if you body block them.

Two things I hate the most in HotS: (Derby) Nova Cursed Hollow

Garden of Terror is actually the map I like the least. I agree with you on Nova though, she's so annoying. And Illidan comes second.

It makes you have more hp regen, but does the effect mean all healing I receive(including devour?). Besides that, that's basically the build I've been doing. I like Putrid Ground a lot more honestly. Also Relentless is so good in most of my games, so sometimes I don't take bigger slam

Yeah it makes all healing better. From teammates, wells, devour, and orbs (i think).

I'm really trying to enjoy this game, but I keep getting this lagg and I don't know what to do. I have no idea what causes it. Sometimes the game freezes for some milliseconds/seconds, and other times it just laggs. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix it?

I tend to go for Web on Anub'arak when they have a tank like Muradin, or locusts to be a tank for our team if we don't have one already.

Ping = fps lag for some fucking reason Basically, if your connection is weak, then the game is unplayable.

Its actually packet loss, not ping. you can have a shitty ping and then its more like playing chess and you just straight have a delay, packet loss stutters the game.

This game is a lot better than I was expecting it to be. Fast and fun is kinda what I was looking for. However, I think the cosmetics are absolutely horrible. I'm still pretty new so maybe this is just my lack of experience, but I feel like it's way too hard to tell who the heroes are on certain mounts. That rainbow horse thing puts out so many particles that it obstructs the hero. I also think the entire premise around leveling up your hero to unlock new talents is awful. Cosmetic stuff is alright but I don't like the idea that the raynor on my team doesn't have banshees while the enemy raynor does. I know it unlocks this stuff after like 2 games, AND that it just unlocks new build options, but I personally consider banshees to be a whole lot better than the hyperion and the difference can be several kills in a game. That was just an example but I don't like the idea in general.

Doing my best to learn Zeratul, streaming if anyone wants to see [url]http://www.twitch.tv/unocoxo[/url]

So, do carries exist in this game? Can you hard carry?

[QUOTE=JoonazL;47242510]So, do carries exist in this game? Can you hard carry?[/QUOTE] I don't think so; experience is shared across the whole team, and there are no items or anything like that either.

Assassin style marksmen. You carry more by having a high skill level with easily abusable heroes than by getting fed and soloing their team.

You can't single handly carry a game since everything is so team based. You can personally be doing very well but it doesn't mean anything if the rest of your team isn't performing.

any idea how to get more keys? I really wanna invite a friend of mine to play with me, so I can have a 3man. Like, how do streamers get so many? Is it a promotion by blizzard or something?

[QUOTE=JoonazL;47242510]So, do carries exist in this game? Can you hard carry?[/QUOTE] It is far harder to carry in this game than any other MOBA since the game is pretty much built to be anti-snowball, but it's not impossible. To carry you have to adapt to your team and do what they cannot do, if it's split push, win the teamfight or grab the objective or slow down your enemies. It's unlikely to be able to do this alone but if you duo it's not impossible, I've done it with a friend before.

Holy fuck why didn't I try Diablo sooner? He was made for me.

Sylvanas hype!

Trailer for her was excellent.

Going to be hoping on for awhile if you want to play or invite to your game. Mark6789#1134 Im not the very best at the game but i do ok.
