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

It certainly looks like connection problems / lagspikes. You might want to check out your network connection.

I do believe it's asset loading lag or something like that. Same stutters happen punctually at the beginning of each match during the first engagements. This time it caught me off guard because it was 10 minutes in, but you'll notice that the game stops precisely when red team gets hold of both of the beacons, which at least causes red team zerg rush announcements to pre-load.

I have opened 6 or 7 Suns out, Guns out lootboxes. I have 3 variations of Bikini Stitches and 2 surfboards.

While I appreciate the changes they made to Haunted Mines that map still makes me want to claw my fucking eyes out.

Just waited for 230 seconds in an estimated 20 second queue in NA only to be put an an Australia server. Fuck you, Blizzard.

Next hero announced by Blizzard. And it's Garrosh. :v: [media]https://twitter.com/BlizzHeroes/status/888051090494595072[/media]

I'm honestly surprised it took them this long to put him in.

Doing a random unranked without a full group, our team bans gall for some reason, totally wasting our ban, then the other team bans cho and all is right in the world :v:

Turns out it was because I got an HDD with ~5000RPM instead of a normal 7200RPM. Reinstalled on my SSD and the issue went away.

It's basically the current even Heartstone is having right now (in its The Frozen Throne expansion's story the Lich King killed and resurrected the main playable classes in powerful undead version of themselves) only it's Kel'Thuzad instead of Arthas. This news will make a friend of mine particularly happy: he has been bitching for a while now that Blizzard was importing in HotS obscure or "useless" Warcraft heroes (like Lili, Brightwing or Chromie, even) and not important lore figure with already enstablished gameplay ideas like Kel'Thuzad

I want Deathwing as a hero, maybe changes from human form to dragon form as an ult, empowering the other abilities or something.

Deathwing would have to always be in Dragon Form. Nobody cares about Human form Neltharion. Chromie is the opposite, where she looks like a regular bronze dragon in dragon-form [sp]and Gnomie-Chromie is CUTE[/sp]. But Neltharion would have to be a giant fuck-off dragon all the time. I could see him being a grounded-hero, who moves from place to place and erupts from the ground ala Ragnaros Molten Core. Otherwise he'd have to be too huge (because Deathwing) to move through Jungle and such.

Is Deathwing being too big for HOTS the new Ridley being too big for smash

If they can get ragnaros in the game they can find a way to get deathwing in.

If I may ask, is Sonya actually viable as a warrior hero or what? If I specialized her as an assassin-like warrior she's far too squishy and dies a lot of if the enemies decide to concentrate their attention on me; if I specialize her as a tanky warrior the result is a half-baked tank which can't do her job properly

If you can get in the other team and spin you can do good shit and the sustain is great. But if they stun you out then you're fucked.

so junkrat and ana are the next new heroes

Why more overwatch heroes guhh. And why these two specifically, I'd much rather Reinhardt or Zenyatta

ugh blizzard characters are being added to the blizzard brawler UUUGGGGHHHHH

theres like 5 overwatch characters compared to the 34 from wow, 15 from starcraft and 15 from diablo. no duh theyre gonna focus on overwatch

Where the fuck is my man Fenix?

It just feels awkward to me that they did a Kel'Thuzad event, and are following it up with an Overwatch event. It's just so sudden of a jump. Like, Warcraft and Overwatch are thematically and mood-wise completely the opposite, the transistion feels very weird. But I get why they are adding Overwatch heroes and making events. They want to bring Overwatch players to HotS (that clearly worked in the past) while also expanding the Overwatch group to be more on-par with other franchises (and so that they can add in the 'Play 3 games as an Overwatch hero' quest). That being said, I'd like for them to add more Diablo baddies. Baal and Mephisto are just obvious additions.

Hey at least its better than the Overwatch update cycle of a boring seasonal event every 4/5 months.

[QUOTE=Xenophobia;52686448]I don't think the problem is adding OW heroes in itself. It's that I'd rather have heroes with interesting mechanics than having heroes there just because they feel the need to fulfill a quota.[/QUOTE] Unless you got a sneak peak at their spotlight videos you don't know their mechanics and are simply talking out your ass.
