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

[QUOTE=Sableye;49326475]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[/QUOTE] safeguard is gonna be huge

Wonder how Malfurion would fair against Lunara, with most of his healing being HoTs. Also going to get Lunara as soon as she goes down to 10k

Then again my current rig is shit so I can't say if it's the hero, my playing of the hero, or my shit computer killing me ingame.

Do we have a Facepunch chat channel?

Bought rexxar, no regrets his model is easily one of the worst in the games and he's nothing like wc3 rexxar but besides that he's fun I don't get why you can't micro his bear, being forced to spam a button to micro it is silly as fuck He's actually pretty fucking good if played correctly :V

WC3 Rexxar looks like Batman. HoTS Rexxar looks like a goofier buff as hell Batman.

As a guy who played Pudge from Dota 2 for many hours, I'm thinking about purchasing Sitches

may your hooks have mercy on their souls

Had a fucking amazing stitches on my team who was landing so many blind hooks you'd swear he had a seeing eye dog spying on the people he was hooking. I saw him hook a stealthed Zeratul out of the fog, it was beautiful.

I swear i have only two modes playing Stitches, either the worst aim in existence or best hooker EU.

I don't think I've ever seen a worse reconnect-feature in any game. Also, I don't think I've ever been this mad at a game before. Salty beyond salt

[QUOTE=Sandvich9;49357382]I don't think I've ever seen a worse reconnect-feature in any game. Also, I don't think I've ever been this mad at a game before. Salty beyond salt[/QUOTE] its because the game is on the sc2 engine poor excuse

I saw that Blizzard announced Cho'Gall, Launara and Greymane at Blizzcon, do they normally announce new Heroes in a batch or was this a Blizzcon exception?

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49357701]You don't have past experience with Dota 2 or LoL, have you?[/QUOTE] Never had problems with reconnecting in League... This game, if my internet goes wonky, I'm guaranteed to be coming back into the game randomly and just make everything worse. So I have to actually leave the game to prevent this and I get a leaver penalty because my internet is fucking up at the time. If I had problems in League, I would be able to stay in game until it fixes itself. For Heroes, it just gets laggy (FPS for some reason is affected by connection??) until I just full-on disconnect or are kicked from the game... And if that happens, you have to sit at a screen that says "Catching up to Server : X:XX behind Server" that doesn't show you ANYTHING about what's going on in the game so when you reconnect you could be in the middle of a teamfight or dead.

Yea, fps = ping for some fucking reason, and I have a very bad connection in hots sometimes It's really fucking annoying, in every other game my ping is fine but the hots servers seem to be ass.

[QUOTE=cyclocius;49357893]I saw that Blizzard announced Cho'Gall, Launara and Greymane at Blizzcon, do they normally announce new Heroes in a batch or was this a Blizzcon exception?[/QUOTE] seems to be batches so they can put them in the beta, then they release them one by one in the game

[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/Q0XIkdM.jpg[/img_thumb] This is my 4th HL game ever. Is this supposed to happen?

Matchmaking is pretty broken.

Is it the Matchmaking or the map? Because I fucking love Blackheart's Bay!

[QUOTE=Liliana_L;49364709]Matchmaking is pretty broken.[/QUOTE] One time quick match matched a party of 5 against me and 4 other solo queued players. [sp]We still won though[/sp]

my friends and I just tried a full auto-select team and we did surprisingly well. got 2 assassins, 2 specialists and Muradin so... barely lost.

Auto select seems to favour a good team comp. Just played an aram earlier and both teams had 2 assassins, 1 warrior, 1 support, 1 specialist.

This is really really really really bad and makes me want to stop playing most of the time because crappy FPS just isn't enjoyable to look at. I was wondering why I couldn't improve the game's FPS by tweaking the graphics to the absolute minimum, which looks like absolute crap almost like WCIII, but I discovered that ping is actually the issue.

Just picked up Illidan, he's fun as shit! Zipping this way and dashing that, only tried his Hunt ult as it feels like Illidan should dash in and dsah out, Metamorphosis seems to turn him into a weaker fighter?

Zipping this way and dashing that, only tried his Hunt ult as it feels like Illidan should dash in and dsah out, Metamorphosis seems to turn him into a weaker fighter?[/QUOTE] Metamorphosis is theoretically damn good. Good escape, but also could work on engage for an always-appreciated attack speed buff, which improves his survivability because of his trait. Also a health boost. But he really just needs some sort of stat buff to be viable. Like I said metamorphosis could be good on engage, but you'll just get shot down the moment you go in, reducing its viability to just escaping until level 20, when you make it permanent. He just dies too quickly and doesn't do any burst damage, only sustained. But his kit isn't really well suited for sustained damage. He's made to get in, hit, get out, but staying long enough to do damage almost ensures he'll die and getting out in time to live means you didn't do any real damage. It kind of sucks and I want him to be good.
