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

[QUOTE=Eeshton;49275635]^ They also removed talent gating (not having all talents unlocked, one of my only complaints while leveling) and increased the hero rotation from 7 to 10, 6 by default and the last 4 slots become available earlier than the last 3 did previously. The Recruit-A-Friend system lets you get two Heroes, Slyvanas and Raynor, just by leveling up AND gives you a 5-day stimpack. They extended the Black Friday sale to the end of the year, and they made a point to mention "What’s more, any brand new items released during this time will also be available at 50% off their normal real-money prices." Seems like Blizzard wants more players and this is a pretty good way to do it imo.[/QUOTE] damnit, now there's no reason to reach lvl 20, its not like i want to actually play this game

So now my grind to almost level 25 to unlock every single hero talent was for... nothing? :tableflip:

[QUOTE=Liliana_L;49276153]You mean I have to make FOUR all new smurf accounts to get that Vulture?[/QUOTE] I only need two more smurfs, I still have two from when I needed that LAN hearthstone card back. Pfft "recruit a [I]friend[/I]", haha. "Fireside [I]friends[/I]"

I'm level thirty now, it says I can play Ranked and I can already tell that it's just like League of Legends. Just because you can play ranked, doesn't mean you should. It doesn't hurt that I can't either, I only own four champions. Debating buying Leoric or Thrall next, I have Johanna the super Tank but Leoric is so much more brawlery and that really appeals to me. Thrall I love, played him in a prior freeweek and I absolutely loved a Windfury focussed build.

i just did a bot fight where i built a super damagey malfurion.... and managed to get a plenty of kills as well as a quad kill..... i took all the entangling root talents and the big AoE nuke ult, its surprisingly powerful, probably would never work against people though

I can't seem to get the stimpack and Raynor and Sylvanas on my smurf account despite registering on my recruitment link. That's weird. I play on asia.

The smurf needs to be on the same region as the referring account but surely Blizzard haven't managed to break it outside of NA.

[QUOTE=helifreak;49305877]Got the stimpack and raynor on my smurf on NA. The smurf needs to be on the same region as the referring account but surely Blizzard haven't managed to break it outside of NA.[/QUOTE] Found the fix. It happens that the referral link you get from the battle.net client is actually a US one by default. It's only either US or EU and there is no separate link for Asia. The workaround is to get the link from the "Recruit A Friend" button INGAME instead of otherwise. It worked, got stimpack and raynor. Anyone else getting random lag spikes? My game randomly drops from 30 FPS to 1 FPS making it nigh unplayable. At first I correlated it with latency. I thought that higher latency meant lower fps because of some wonky game design for lag compensation, and then I thought it was related to some memory leak as my memory usage is always very high. But it really seems random. At the beginning of the game I'd have around 20 FPS and it would go on smoothly at 20-30 FPS until it suddenly breaks in the middle of the game and drops down to 1 FPS. It would be like that for the rest of the game and for the next games I play unless I restart the client. The weird thing is, sometimes, alt-tabbing(reconnecting) actually FIXES the lag so it's so weird.

Played a game with Nova, Abathur, Lt. Morales, Thrall (me), and Zagara on Battlefield of Eternity... against a Sylvanas, Muradin, Sonya, Raynor and Lt. Morales. Fastest game I have EVER played. They won after they got the first fucking Immortal... Pushed top all the way to core. Nobody was even upset with each other, we were just like "oh well, that's Blizzard MM for you!"

i always feel like having both abathur AND nova on the same team makes it feel like a 4v5 all the time

I feel that way with just nova on my team.

its literally nova, abathurs are hit and miss a lot

Not me, I'm a great Abathur. :smug:

Nova with all clone talents + rewind and abby with clone is pretty funny.

Played a game with four assassins and one Abby. It was amazing.

Levelling these smurfs for the speeder has been great so far. Either get a team of good playesr and it's a slaughter, it's even (which never happens normally :() or we are getting minced but someone is getting really angry and bitching like crazy about it. This individual today could not make up their mind on where they wanted people to be and got very angry if you weren't exactly where they thought you should be and spent the last half of the game sulking and being generally useless. Still doesn't top the guy who continued whispering after the game telling me to play farmville because I didn't divine shield him when he charged into 4 enemies and instantly died repeatedly.

The way the game brings down your FPS with as your internet connection gets worse is really bad.

At first I wasn't sure about him, but after some matches I've bough Illidan with my gold The reason behind this move is that sometimes, when you use Illidan's ulti the Hunt, you can actually hear the hopes of an enemy player being shattered across the globe

Since no-one has posted it yet, here is some info about Lunara: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OqrfLfaOnc[/media] [url]http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes/lunara/[/url]

she's also out

lunara's poison is pretty dangerous if you don't have a self heal or a support, plus she is pretty hard to get away from, both her ults have either very long range or her jump lets her get past you [editline]15th December 2015[/editline] i haven't had a game with a morals in it yet though, i feel like moral's OP heals will just shrug off lunara

Am currently playing Morals for the first time, can confirm she makes people give 0 fucks about the poison

Neat, shows parties on the loading screen now.

Can also confirm that she gives a lot of fucks about being poisoned.
