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

Not too interested in the new heroes so i might save 30k gold here, but that might change once I see the kits prepared for them. The new map however looks great, objective and all, and I can't wait to actually play on it because the gameplay mechanic looks great.

[QUOTE=Xenophobia;52686862]You can't be serious? If the other ow heroes are anything to go by, they are going to have the same kits in hots as in OW. Its not like they are going to go ahead and give junkrat an smg.[/QUOTE] Yeah no shit they'd have the same moves that's the hero, but in terms of a MOBA all of them have been pretty interesting. I fucking hate tracer, but to say her design isn't interesting for a moba is stupidity.

I'm wondering what ultimate ability abilities they are going to give Ana, since in this game Lt. Morales already has an ultimate that gives an ally hero enhanced damage and survivability for a short while

[QUOTE=Furnost;52685955]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[/QUOTE] Yeah but overwatch has the least interesting world of all blizzard games imo, I mean of course there is so many warcraft heroes it is blizzard's biggest universe. Just when I compare someone like ana to like Mal'ganis or an eredar lord I find my self wanting the latter a lot more

Would've been infinitely more interesting.

[t]http://waifumaterial.com/images/59e6dc515b828.jpg[/t] So I manged this even though I never play Competitive.

best part of patch [img]https://i.imgur.com/xVY7unQ.png[/img] I usually calibrate Hero League and end up placing in Platinum primarily Zeratul/Tyrael/Artanis (played as Specialist) then stopping there and calibrating Team League for the gold rewards, but maybe I should try to push into Diamond or Master since I win most games. Those three removed maps are the ones I don't like the most. edit: apparently hero league MMR does not reset between seasons

My first placement was diamond 3 and AFAIK back then that was the max you could get off of placements? Unfortunately though my second placement was Platinum because I decided to do placements right after that garbage fire heap of a map Hanamura got released and I got that map for 8 of my placement matches. :v:

IIRC I had a really high WR on that map. The worst problem of it really was that blizz pretty poorly communicated how its mechanics actually work. Especially about just how much EXP creeps give.

Looks like Heroes is getting voice chat AND performance based ranking instead of win/loss ranking and matchmaking.

Coming December along some awesome looking gameplay changes : [url]http://eu.battle.net/heroes/en-us/game/events/dragons-of-the-nexus[/url]

Jesus, getting all Novas on the Overwatch brawl is insanity. It becomes a game of spychecking essentially, the attackers crowd around the payload and try to spot the invisible defenders contesting and preventing it from moving forwards. If it happens to anyone else, make sure you pick the AoE ult, triple tap is completely useless.

It's so lame that they dropped the 1k gold from brawls and just made the reward a shitty common chest instead. Wish I could go back to buying heroes again

Could an omnipotent god create a trash can see deep that Garden of Terror would not belong in it? :thinking:

What

Garden Terror is definitely my least favourite map. Dragon Knight is great with its pilotable mechanic, same with Volskaya. But something about the Garden Terror makes people want to splitpush and waste it when they could accomplish so much more if they joined the team.

Sometimes I think bosses should be harder to take. Some comps can just send a couple people to take them as fast as a merc camp.

The first golem in Haunted Mines is so useless as soon as a team have ~30 skulls the other team doesn't even bother to show up and just push the forts.

I'm not convinced the Golems are worth going for until you want an end push.

Fuck Haunted Mines, I once had a match go on for an hour there.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;52946901]Sometimes I think bosses should be harder to take.

I'm sure at least a couple other heroes can too but those are the two I've done it with. [editline]5th December 2017[/editline] Also Haunted Mines is a shit map and always has been.

I still see people abandon games at the start when they see its haunted mines.

[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;52958309]I still see people abandon games at the start when they see its haunted mines.[/QUOTE] Really? I've been getting Haunted Mines a lot lately and it's quite frustrating but I've never seen anyone ragequit at the start of the game.

I haven't touched the game in a while but I always saw people quit there.
