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

There is never a dull moment when I'm playing as Brightwing; so many clutch plays happen to save my teammates. I also manage to out heal everyone else. [thumb]https://i.imgur.com/9vb60Ce.jpg[/thumb]

[QUOTE=ryfry99;48577520]I'm a shit hammer but I'm pretty sure the only reason to take BFG is for the lvl 20 talent upgrade. If you just want a more general fighting build I think napalm + frenzy is generally the pick from what I've seen in game.[/QUOTE] Yeah, this is actually what I was going on about. I really like the optics of BFG and stuff but even after the buff, it's still so inferior to napalm strike in like 9 out of 10 cases. That sucks

Went 10-10 in my placement matches and got rank 10. Yay for consistency :toot:

[QUOTE=ryfry99;48597446]Went 10-10 in my placement matches and got rank 10. Yay for consistency :toot:[/QUOTE] I got Rank 7 after my placement matches and went with one win from 7 to Rank 5. It's a weird system

New hero spotlight [video=youtube;7SDdVEFgczM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SDdVEFgczM[/video] Looks kinda underwhelming to play to me.

It's more like you play Misha and some guy in leather garment follows you.

He sounds like a not very good specialist mixed with a not very good warrior.

Something about how Rexxar looks in this just bugs the crap out of me. I just get this goofy cartoon vibe from him.

There is about time to buff sonya :)

[QUOTE=Malino;48618368]There is about time to buff sonya :)[/QUOTE] We buffed Sonya by making whirlwind do no damage, this encourages people to play Sonya less, thus reducing losses.

So my friend and I were going into a quick match. He was going as Raynor but when the game loaded in he was Zagara with a skin color he didn't even have unlocked. To top it off there was another player as Raynor on the team. Anyone else have something like this happen?

[QUOTE=PrivRyan;48617915]It's more like you play Misha and some guy in leather garment follows you.[/QUOTE] The two ultimates are just so... boring really all his abilities are. Having misha in the role she is isn't a bad idea but eh, we'll see when he actually comes out.

[editline]7th September 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Malino;48618368]There is about time to buff sonya :)[/QUOTE] Sonya is fine as it it. She's more of a bruiser than tank. Build her right and she does absurd damage

[QUOTE=Evile;48632426]Sonya is fine as it it. She's more of a bruiser than tank. Build her right and she does absurd damage[/QUOTE] Sonya, along with four other Warriors, all have a 4% of less win rate, and Stitches has been bottom of the barrel for months now. [I]Every Warrior but two[/I] has a less than 50% win rate. Warriors in general need buffs, but Sonya has been unnecessarily nerfed over and over again.

I always got the impression from Sonya that she didn't do enough damage to be considered an assassin but wasn't tough enough to be a warrior, if they made her a little more tanky she'd be fine.

Why they made Rexxar so fat? Did he ate his previous bear?

[QUOTE=Evile;48632426]Your friend most likely picked random, it gives you a random skin color too.[/QUOTE] Nope, I saw him next to my character as Raynor while we were waiting in queue.

I wonder how many games it's been since I haven't seen a kael'thas. Also now that rexxar is in he seems okay imo, his ultimates are still bad but he doesn't seem to play badly

So many games with 2+ warriors right now. Had one where my team was Arthas, Johanna, Rexxar, Malfurion, and Gazlowe.

Rexxar seems really easy to shutdown.

Heroes of the storm uses the same engine as SC2 right? How come I can play SC2 with ultra graphical settings and decent resolution with smooth 60 fps and HotS is stuttering at lowest possible settings and low resolution? Edit: Wow, setting sound to "low" increased FPS by 10-30. Thanks Baazul, you're awesome!

Setting sound quality to high makes me lose 30 fps on average.

Butcher is so bad when the rest of the team is bad. But so good when the team is not bad. Li Li seems ok. I would like to congratulate Blizzard for finally choosing a logical screenshot folder. WoW uses the install folder. Hearthstone shits them onto the desktop which is a pain in the ass to get to with icons off. But HotS finally figured out where "My Documents" is and that you can put files in there.

Some crazy matches in the Americas Championship. All 4 bans being tanks lead to these picks. [IMG]http://puu.sh/kh6kB/4dcea70d24.jpg[/IMG] [SP]COG won[/SP]

I swear half the time quick match does only assassins and specialists and half the time it does this: [t]http://i.imgur.com/necmVpk.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/ZcO9wPW.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Y40tyAC.png[/t] First two happened in a row too. Would it be that hard to just have it put a tank and/or a support on each team during matchmaking?

Did you win the tank party game?
