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

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;48163018]So finally I got the 2k gold to buy Malfurion! Now I can do alot of support play.[/QUOTE] Please don't solo lanes like half the Malfurions in this game.

Meh i have 20k gold and i dont know what to do with. I think im going to buy Tassadar.

[QUOTE=CaptainHijacks;48163436]Please don't solo lanes like half the Malfurions in this game.[/QUOTE] Been doing that less and less lately, I mean I'm still very very new to Mobas, so I'm just doing what the main ideas of the game is (escort creeps to walls). But now I've been doing that only if it's occupied by a fellow Hero, or most likely I end up rushing to a group or hero in trouble and needing support.

I love building moonfire malfurion. For some reason I always have good success and have great Siege/Hero damage along with good XP contribution because two moonfires can wipe a whole wave.

[QUOTE=mark6789;48164168]Meh i have 20k gold and i dont know what to do with. I think im going to buy Tassadar.[/QUOTE] Don't. Tass isn't that great right now.

What's a good healing build for Malfurion? It's hard to really decide while in battle.

[QUOTE=Banned?;48166535]Don't. Tass isn't that great right now.[/QUOTE] Tass is still very good for non-ranked games. He is very potent in most of the maps and his Force Wall ultimate sets up easily kills against unprepared players.

[QUOTE=Baazul;48166810]Tass is still very good for non-ranked games. He is very potent in most of the maps and his Force Wall ultimate sets up easily kills against unprepared players.[/QUOTE] Force Wall is awful and doesn't match the benefits that Archon gives at all.

I've had more success with Force Wall than Archon so far with Tass (close to level 10 with him). The only maps I use Archon over Force Wall are Sky Temple and Haunted Mines. Especially with the range extension on level 20 it's so easy to seclude one or two enemies from the rest of their team. Archon is only useful on open maps that don't have choke points in my opinion.

Prescience and Dimensional Warp give you an insane amount of survivability, but it comes later into the game. After that point you shouldn't be dying at all in combination with the massive shield Archon gives you, on top of Leeching Plasma + Khala's Embrace. Once you get Twilight Archon you're a decent powerhouse, nothing like what he used to be but good enough do some damage. That is his problem though: he doesn't do the damage he used to, which wasn't overpowering but they nerfed too fucking much of it. Force Wall doesn't do anything like Archon does and if you're not taking it, you're not playing Tass right. Personally I think you shouldn't be playing Tass at all right now, he is really weak and the "mage" support style is pretty much dead right now.

Sure, Assassins and the likes with low HP take a respectable amount of damage from him, but in team-fights that doesn't contribute as much as turning a 5v5 into a - let's say - 5v2 for a few seconds (3,5 seconds if level 20 talent is picked). Also the cooldown on Archon is just horrible.

I play Tass as a support character. Instead of Twilight, i get the shield all allies.

Is it normal for Abathur players to just sit at a random location on the map and die a lot in pub games?

[QUOTE=Coffee;48176672]Is it normal for Abathur players to just sit at a random location on the map and die a lot in pub games?[/QUOTE] Many people see how powerful he is and get him without any understanding of how he works and thinks his primary purpose is to slowly move further up the lane to get insects further. Symbiote > Passive unit production > Mines for detection Is how the priorities should be Not Passive > Mines > Symbiote

I think he looked cool. but his descriptions really confused me. Same for Gazlowe. Muradin and Malfurion are easy to understand. Malfurion waves his magical healy moon stick to make Stitches very happy, Muradin does the hippity hop smashy smashy.

You should only move up to soak a lane that is empty with him and usually while everyone is busy doing a objective.

Map awareness is key when playing Abathur. Don't expect a lot from Abathur in a pug though, i've noticed they tend to only focus on the split push build (which isn't that great anymore), and don't really help in teamfights.

"Hey, let's invite a random team mate to get that sweet +50% exp bonus" Dude 1 waits for a minute and invites Dude 2. Dude 2 waits for a minute and invites dude 3. Dude 3 waits for 2 minutes before clicking ready and then leaves before we find a match. Dude 2 asks "why take so long?". When the game finally starts, Dude 2 is disconnected for the whole game and Dude 4 or 5 disconnects, reconnects, disconnects...

Every since it went into full release i have high latency issues. It lags stand stills for 5 seconds about 3 times a game. Ive seen this is a usual issue but is there a fix? I dont know how to port foward my ports on my Monoprice router.

its funny because thats literally ripoff leoric

[img]http://i.imgur.com/b0lbYop.jpg[/img] I carried a lazy ass Kael who built normally. Wut.

Leoric seems really overpowered with his ability set, but maybe it's just me.

For some reason when I try to get into Ranked battle... It initializes game mode forever, and it never does anything. It just sits there, and it completely fucks my internet. When I get out of the game, everything returns to normal.

[QUOTE=John Madden;48214573][img]http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/f/fc/Skeleton_King.png[/img] The only one true Leoric.[/QUOTE] I like to think Skelly left Dota 2 to infuse his soul with the original Leoric in Heroes of the Storm. Skelly summoned his greatest minion and used some kind of magic to transform him into the Wrath King, and had the new Wrath King pretend to be the nest incarnation of the Skeleton King, while the real Skelly spiritually returned to his Diablo roots in HotS. Obama went on to confirm this story during his latest speaking, if anyone needs proof of this.
