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

[QUOTE=Baazul;48134060]Playing against Zeratul and/or Nova just isn't fun. I don't care if they are good or bad, but it's annoying when you have to constantly keep an eye on the ground around you. Every game without them is like double the fun.[/QUOTE] I had a game where there was both of them. All you have to do is pay attention. I was Valla on Tomb of the Spider Queen. All I did was when farming gems, I sat on an exit route and aimed myself where I could use my AOE and hit an invisible unit when spotted and the creep wave at the same time. I held about 60 gems at one point because no one was paying attention to their patterns. God it was an easy game to win.

i just won a game when my team was 30 kills down............... WHAT DID WE DO? somehow we managed to max our levels, and then kill their entire team once and push the core, but they had like 6 opportunities to destroy our core

I started playing this game a while ago and Uther is probably my favourite hero. Solid all-around support. I'm considering getting Rehgar. Impossible to kill and can instantly heal someone for like 80% of their health.

This game hasn't worked for me for 10 days now... it hurts me on an emotional level.. [editline]6th July 2015[/editline] oh my god it's working there is a god [editline]6th July 2015[/editline] Is Tyrande solid? Playing her for free and unlocked some of her skills, I thought meh at first but she seems pretty alright. Also, got to play the new map AND HOLY FUCK it's super awesome.

She has the most impactful trait in the game, as well as a decent stun, decent heal, and great vision. Her hawk can become one of the highest damage nukes in the game if you build it like one. Doing 1000+ damage globally to multiple people, as well as the ability to rewind it is amazing.

Should I buy The Butcher? I only played him in test, haven't played the game for 2 weeks. I'm going to guess he's basically Thrall 2.0

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Ds9uAQJ.png[/IMG] Rip On a side note, the Butcher is a ton of fun to play as. He is very weak against cc heavy teams, and excels at picking of single heroes 1v1.

I'll be honest.. I thought I would like Sylvanas much more than I currently am.

Oh they added back the maps into the pool. My luck was constantly getting me Tomb of the Spider Queen and not Battlefield of Eternity. I actually missed Haunted Mines for once in my life

butcher so stronk most definitely my favorite melee assassin

The new map is cool and all but the immortal is so squishy if the whole team focuses him he'll be dead by the time he's taken down one tower.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;48147753]The new map is cool and all but the immortal is so squishy if the whole team focuses him he'll be dead by the time he's taken down one tower.[/QUOTE] I honestly prefer squishy bosses over the nightmare that is beefed up grave golems. I wanna murder the other team occasionally, not play "watch the raid boss slap your base around"

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;48147753]The new map is cool and all but the immortal is so squishy if the whole team focuses him he'll be dead by the time he's taken down one tower.[/QUOTE] I prefer a distraction rather than the objective to be the only focus of the entire map.

So I have around 11k gold, not sure who to buy next. Since I'm not too interested in Sylvanas I might try out Thrall or Kelly and see which of the two I like more; they seem really fun.

[QUOTE=AltF4 All Day;48148210]I honestly prefer squishy bosses over the nightmare that is beefed up grave golems. I wanna murder the other team occasionally, not play "watch the raid boss slap your base around"[/QUOTE] I understand that, its the main reason that haunted mines is my least favorite map. But at the moment you might as well ignore it completely to push a lane. Then pull back and murder their immortal before it does any damage.

Now if you get a immortal with a full shield it can be hard to deal with but if that happens then your team is already getting dominated.

That's also why the best strategy seems to be taking the whole team to push the lane opposite the immortal when you get it.

Split pushing is another good strategy. Leave your more defensive heroes with the immortal and the aggressive ones to push the other lane. As long your team doesn't overextend.

[QUOTE=kestner;48150115]Now if you get a immortal with a full shield it can be hard to deal with but if that happens then your team is already getting dominated.[/QUOTE] Ya one of the two times I've played that map, my team was on defensive the entire time, but one time the other team ignored the mine, three guys went down got all the skills and suddenly our immortal smashed through their remaining forts, towers and core. Other maps the objectives aren't 100% needed, this map it's not optional, which is also why there is only two lanes

Does anyone know when Leoric is going to be released?

[QUOTE=gepperman;48155784]Does anyone know when Leoric is going to be released?[/QUOTE] End of this month or begining of next, very likely. One proper release per month during this diablo theme is what was mentioned.

I think Heroes of the Storm has way too many champions that spawn minions. 5 out of 9 Specialists spawn minions (Zagara, Nazeebo, Abathur, Azmodan, Gazlowe). Okay, that's their thing and A.I. controlled minions fit into the whole tower destruction theme. Then you have warrior Anub'Arak spawning bugs, another warrior Arthas digging up ghouls and support Malfurion summoning moving treants which seems a little odd but it fits their lore instead of their role. However, why on earth does Stitches vomit Retchlings and Kerrigan the bursty assassin call a slow ultralisk? Seems a little redundant to add the Xth minion spawning skill/talent on those heroes that don't need them at all. Besides, if they gave Kerrigan some super assassin-y heroic skill instead they could make Ultralisk into a new hero. Edit: Oh, forgot Janna's water elemental.

They posted on their forums that they are making some changes to Kerrigan but nothing specific.

HotS has a retail box, didn't know that. [t]https://i.imgur.com/t1lM1De.jpg[/t] [t]https://i.imgur.com/9JhoJhG.jpg[/t] it's $20 and it feels like there's a DVD, notepad, and a few cardboard cards for game trials and hearthstone packs

[t]http://i.imgur.com/S5bgRHt.png[/t] Maybe it also contains a 3 month WoW pass! Who knows?! It's mysterious!

So finally I got the 2k gold to buy Malfurion! Now I can do alot of support play.
