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

Medic ability list was posted and confirmed for anyone interested. [QUOTE]Basic Abilities Healing Beam (Q): Heal a single ally every half second for as long as they remain near you. Pressing Q allows you to reselect your target, or you can cancel the channeling by activating your trait. There is no cooldown on this ability. Safeguard (W): Reduce the damage the targeted ally takes for three seconds. Displacement Grenade (E): Throw out a grenade that explodes as soon as it comes into contact with an enemy, dealing damage and knocking nearby enemies back. Heroics Medivac Dropship (R): Select a spot to travel to, causing you to enter a dropship. Teammates can then join you, and after four seconds, you'll travel to the chosen area. Stim Drone (R): Select an ally to receive a 75 percent increase in attack speed and 25 percent additional movement speed for ten seconds. Trait Caduceus Reactor: After going four seconds without taking damage, regenerate 3 percent of your max health every second.[/QUOTE]

I wonder how gorge will interact with dropship. Could basically fountain hook if coordinated enough and it works like how I think it does. Also I can see a rise of AA heroes being picked.

Illi (Metamorphosis) + Aba (Attack speed symbiote talent) + Medic (Stim drone) + Raynor (Inspire) Terrifying

Some good stuff: [url]http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/19893628/heroes-of-the-storm-ptr-patch-notes-september-24-2015-9-24-2015[/url] I wish Leoric got nerfed a little more but I guess we'll see how big it really is. I still expect him to be top tier though. Can't wait to play stitches some more.

(As someone who predominantly plays Leoric and Zeratul...) That Q nerf seems reeeeally heavy, though. Not undeserved, but wow. As for Zeratul, the wormhole nerf seems like it's now not even enough time to get out a proper combo with follow-through, so I guess I'm glad I haven't been taking it recently. And the VP thing is actually really fair. I knew it was a tad overpowered, but wasn't really able to think of a good way it could be nerfed. This is nice. Little upset about Archon doing less damage as Tassadar. It's already a little tough to pull off at the right moment, but I guess it's more reason to pick the wall. Diablo buffs aren't super great, but Chen, ETC, and Stitches are looking a whole lot nicer from here. Try mode improvements are very welcome. Glad that the AI tries to pick talents that work together based on what players have picked, not glad that the player can't decide what these talents will be. Garden terror shutting down the core seems really nice. And they fixed Infernal Shrines! Most importantly, though [quote] Loading Screens will now display the players on each team along the left and right edges of the screen, and include the following information: Player name, portrait, and portrait border Loading progress Selected Hero for that game Objective descriptions on Battleground Loading Screens have received visual improvements, and can now be found near the bottom-center of the screen. [/quote] I love it. btw here's Artanis [url]http://www.heroesnexus.com/talent-calculator/60-artanis?filter-ptr=1#8AA[/url] and here's Morales [url]http://www.heroesnexus.com/talent-calculator/61-lt-morales?filter-ptr=1#9AA[/url] I want them.

Are those cd's right for Artanis? That passive is nuts if it is.

Woah this Tass Archon nerf is fucking dumb, if they want Force Wall to be taken more then they need to make it not shitty. Also how does Blizzard consider a 'support' with a shield and an aoe vision tool 'high utility' when compared to most other supports in the game??

[Quote]Uther has received updated cloth physics.[/quote] This Uther buff is insane

Despite how Cartoony and dumb I thought Rexxar looked, I'm actually thinking of picking him up because he's fucking Rexxar. Is he any good?

So since upgrading to Windows 10 the game basically wont work. Upon start it lags like a fucker for 30sec to load the start screen and animation background for your hero selection. After that gets done, i cant find a match at all. I have unistalled it from my SSD and installed onto my HDD but nothing changed.

Can't decide which hero to buy: Rexarr, Leoric, Kharazim, or maybe the Butcher.

i really don't like the fact Morales' grenade is a skillshot first enemy hit...

I mean it has to be different from Tychus's grenade SOMEhow...

So when is the update supposed to come out?

I'm loving morales. The short cooldown on dropship makes it a lot of fun to use, especially because your mana gets drained pretty quickly (until level 20). I'm a little disappointed in the improvements they made to the try mode though, you still don't get to try the hero in something resembling an actual game.

Feels so good to be able to play stitches again.

Rexxar is SO MUCH BETTER NOW. Misha is actually much more usable now that you can just have her fixate on targets.

Just tried Rexxar for a few games. He's pretty fun to play actually.

I find it shocking how much Diablo's numbers have risen on hotslogs, despite the fact that his buffs seemed so insignificant. Also zeratul feels much more bleh with the vp range down, and it's just not possible to wormhole+double bombs anymore. I've gotten much more partial to Assassin's Blade and Rewind instead now.

I wish you could enable player healthbars for your team that are fixated in the hud. I often heal the wrong person in clusterfuck teamfights. Also a question if anyone here knows, when playing as Tyrande, does casting a basic abilities cancel the shadowstalk effect? [editline]29th October 2015[/editline] Wait I'm dumb, ofcourse it cancels the stealth, but what happens to the final burst of healing? [editline]1st November 2015[/editline] [t]http://f2.braxupload.se/qayo8v.jpg[/t] Weirdest game ever. You have to give it to them though because we totally dominated them in teamfights but during the last mines they went for our core instead and damaged it to like 40%, then they got a 30-skull golem that brought it down to 3% and finally their Leoric went hero-mode and finished it. [editline]1st November 2015[/editline] [t]http://f2.braxupload.se/xybgwb.jpg[/t] Got the hallowed portrait.

[url]http://www.heroesnexus.com/news/1531-blizzcon-live-recap[/url] [QUOTE][B]New Game Mode - Arena[/B] You're given 3 random heroes to choose from (for 45 seconds), then select an heroic and join the fray. Players can have the same hero! Will have specific maps for it. They showed maps that seem to be related to the current themes (Dragon Shire, Garden of Terror, Sky Temple). Still in development - no ETA. You're given a random hero, chose an heroic, and are thrown into a 5 minute non-stop fight built around a single map objective, played in rounds in a "best of 3" format. Every round the Layout of the map changes! Healing from the Hall of the Storm is instantaneous, and Death Timers are shorter. [B]New Battleground - Towers of Doom [/B] Seems to be a Halloween themed battleground. When you destroy enemy towns, they become yours! [B]New Heroes [/B] Genn Greymane - seems to be capable of fighting as both melee (Werewolf form) and ranged (firearm). Lunara - Dryad ranged hero. Cho'Gall - 1 hero controlled by TWO players!!! Players who attended Blizzcon or bought a Virtual Ticket will get Cho'gall for free. If you party up and play 2 games with someone who does not have Cho'gall, they will unlock the hero for free as well. If you play 4 games as Cho'gall with someone else, you will get bonus gold! [B]New Skins and Mounts! [/B] There seems to be a few Halloween themed skins - for Arthas, Brightwing, Sylvanas, Greymane and Cho'Gall. Lunara seems to have an Armored Night-Elf Lunara skin. [/QUOTE] [video=youtube;2men9QUBgGk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2men9QUBgGk[/video] Guess I'm pulled back into the game. Also, Tracer as the first Overwatch hero in HotS

What are Cho'Gall's heroics? They didn't detail them.

Wasn't expecting Genn to get in. Day 1 buy for me.

Man I was kinda hoping for Grommash Hellscream

I also wonder what happens if abathur clones it. Either it doesn't let him or a bot takes over gall most likely.

Got into this after my girlfriend wouldn't stop talking about the new Champs unveiled at Blizzcon. Coming from League, it's a real change of pace but I really like it. I've been playing Azmodan for 4 or so games and really enjoying him, not sure which Hero I should pick up though. I have enough money to get a 4k Hero, I'm thinking Tyrael looks really fun. That said, I played the undead mines map and I can see why people don't like it. You either go into the mines or a giant golem wrecks your team. But if the enemy are far enough ahead that they're winning in the mines, the golem is just the icing on their victory cake.
