Not looking good boys. Wouldn't hurt if my team quit drafting warriors in our first picks.

LUNARA

CUTE AND FUN!

Is not fun to play when the enemy team has a Stitches who never misses a single hook.

the health regen and healing changes the intern team in charge of balancing is `thinking about` isn't really set in stone right? i mean, they WILL listen to reason from people on the forums and ______reddit and throw it into the trash, right?

>stitches on your team hooks minions

Take leap to have even more fun

pretty sure the health regen cut thing will not make it in
i could see them tweaking fountain and globes some however
i'd appreciate mana regen scaling

>take horrible trade in lane
>somebody rotates over while you B because it takes 15 seconds to do and make back to lane
>more efficient than healing you and wasting mana
>can't really 'lose' lanes or deny experience, worst comes to worst just sit inside/behind your gate

Early game is pretty forgiving and dull, friend.

now that the dust has settled, what are your thoughts on Medivh?

>mommy, the internet has been mean to me again

poor dustin has to waste his time being nice to beta fags

>somebody rotates over
2,6k here, you cant expect people to rotate yet

forgot pic

>hearth spamming
....? Who cares?

Really?
I'm with this guyI've never done b-stepping, but I've had people doing it to my team and frankly it is no different than dancing or taunting.

>heroes of the storm complexity

And this is why we'll likely never get an All Chat, even though we can completely deafen ourselves if our teammates hurt our feelers.

Holy shit that Taco guy is fucking everywhere

i care. and believe me as a guy with a 4 month silence who played hero league every day, listen here kid, when you B-spam it means that you're basically spitting in your opponents' faces, ur basically saying "you are so fucking bad at this game, you are biological trash just like ur whole fucking family, i wish u subhumans died from worst pain possible" - THIS, and if u DARE FUCKING LOSE AFTER UR B-STEp, THEN YOU HAVE TO IDK.. IM PISSED OFF ALREADY JUST TYPING THIS OUT... IF U LOSE A GAME AFTER U B-STEP, U HAVE TO FUCKING COMMIT SUICIDE, KILL URSELF, UR THE SUBHUMAN TRASH

I WOULD GLADLy kill every single opponent of mine who b-stepped and then ended up losing the game, ID butcher their family members with an axe, id just fucking break every single bone in their body using a spiked mace if i had 1

Yeah, didn't some people said that OW should stop the all chat or ban people who say gg ez?

slightly triggered

ok. just read dustin browder twitter... i have no words. what kind of a shit game i have been playing for the last year? this bald faggot considers rank 2 to be diamond league material, holy shit. the things i would do just to kill him and everyone at hots devs

twitter.com/DustinBrowder/status/742854466882273283

when will you idiotic fuckers realize that about 70% of rank 1 are BAD PLAYERS?

dead game general

>a guy with a 4 month silence who played hero league every day
stopped reading right here

Upvoted. Can't afford gold right now, so have some Reddit silver instead.

Come back in six years when you're actually 18 and not throwing a sperg tantrum.

i was rank 8 and ended up 4-6

got plat 3 which is the same as rank 8

He must've chilled out big-time come WC3.

honestly this is how it should be, how i expected it to be, i just wished that hots would finally become a decent game...

rank 50-25 = bronze (ACTUALLY BRONZE)
rank 25-10 = silver (ACTUALLY BRONZE)
rank 10-3 = gold (ACTUALLY BRONZE)
rank 3-1 (till 2900 mmr) = platinum (MEH)
3000-3500 = diamond
>3500 = master league

Where does someone with 3k mmr end up in the new system?

Bronze.
The answer is always Bronze.

>placement
>first pick etc
>then nova and zera

place your bets. i think this game ends in 12 minutes.

>people picking Heroes that require you get kill in order to be effective
>fail to get kills, often feed them

Sort of surprised they didn't give Nova a rework so that her abilities worked similar to Chromie (skillshot with wind-up on snipe, heavy damage, long-range).

>mfw zera is probably up there when it comes to talent reworks
>searing attacks
>first aid
>mfw azmodan taste for blood isn't baseline
>had an azmodan who took bribe the other day because "my unique play style"
>we won

still a ded game, was fun shitposting here but no point in staying on a sinking ship

later m8s

>enemy ban morales
>our ban medivh
>they get KT

fantastic.

bronze here i come

>not telling your team to go full dive to counter kael

Have fun in bronze

>placement matches
>Lose horribly first match as stitches
>win barely with Butcher on second match
>win Super easy with ETC on 3rd and 4th matches

I forgot how well ETC meshes with so many team comps. Last match my team had zero burst, but Tracer and Tychus really benefited from Rock Star while they hammered on enemy tanks and squishies.
It also feels like these placement matches have people who can utilize Mosh Pit better than QM...

Do Abathur's locusts still soak XP?

>finish 7-3

Place your bets.

silver

Bronze, why else would you be here?

doesnt it depend a lot on what your rank was before?
ill guess gold though

Nope

>tfw when bronze hiding amongst the diamonds

>doesnt it depend a lot on what your rank was before?
Who fucking knows. Blizzard said they loosened MMR, so I'm guessing you get more points for a loss and for a win.

I'm curious to see if its actually going to affect matchmaking, or if you still get stuck with bronze and silvers because the game is dead and not enough people play HL

Why did they get rid of it? It made sense. GL for Abathurs getting XP now.
>nerf a non fotm/overpowered hero
>meanwhile a bunch of OP heroes exist
Blizzard once again.

I was under the impression they did, but only if they deal the last hit.

No, or not reliably. Perhaps after 13/16.

I do this all the time, It puts enemys on tilt.

I make sure to do it on stitches

It's been that way for a long time now

Last hits do give xp but before the ranged attack or spawning 3 at once the chance of them getting the last hit is pretty low

>long time now
doesn't matter. The question was "why" not "when"

>playing Xul
>Tracer for whatever reason decides to harass me all game
>bsteps whenever I make it back to my gates not having hit her the entire time
>spooky skeleton at their spawn after winning because Tomb
>whisper her $$$ after
>reported for bad manner

Wonder if they'll ever punish people for stuff like this, because I've definitely heard of people getting banned for "gg ez" in other games.

>Automatically mute party chat
>No longer receive messages unless friend

My game experience has increased by 10,000%.

>instamute everybody in a game that's reliant on teamwork
You're doing everybody else a favour instead since you sound like an unpleasant person to play with.

Should I go ahead and start doing my placements?

Or just do qm until everyone (including myself) gets used to medivh and other changes?

Just finished placements, didn't see Medivh once.

>hero level 5 required to play HL
>can't AFK train
>means playing either QM or Vs. AI to level
>queue up for QM
>five minutes later drop and queue for HL

So, yeah. You should be safe.

In an uncoordinated match there is literally nothing said in chat that can't be communicated more effectively with a ping. I am enjoying myself greatly right now.

>enemy team drafts Chromie
>hey team pick someone who can take care of Chromie
>everyone drafts ultra squishy ranged who get oneshot and outranged by her
thanks game

May as well not play a multiplayer game. You sound like the people who split-push all game in ignorance and denial.

You sound particularly upset about this user, do you want to talk it out?

Too bad, you're muted bitch.

>pointing out stupidity
>lel u mad!
As expected.

I want to fuck Kerrigan

I can't think of a single instance where somebody has said something useful. Literally not a single one.

>the health regen and healing changes
link?

What's the point of a ranked redesign if they're not going to do a hard MMR reset? Placement games have next to no impact on your placement. It's all the same shit. Fuck this game, I'm done.

>wanting to remove the b-step

How beta is this guy?

It's just some proposed ideas, thoughts, discussion, etc.

>sauce
>us.battle.net/heroes/en/forum/topic/20745285499

What's the issue here, exactly?

I'm with you on this. The teenage degeneracy is off the charts in this game, and nobody ever said something useful.

>A player that you were matched with left the game or was disconnected
>Twice in a row

I guess I'm not playing today

It's for the better. I can't get one team that doesn't have a fucking retard on it throwing the game for us.

Play placement matches right away?
or
Play placement maches a couple weeks from now?

right away
Just ban Medivh if one of your teammates hover him

i swear medivh is a noob trap

they say sweet i can turn into a bird and fly around and follow the enemy and never help again

>not playing him like an improved Leoric

He is the new murky, 99% of the time he is useless, 1% of the time he puts the team on his back.

>potentially stupid question(s) inbound

Does Zeratul's shimmer become any less noticeable if he stops moving?

Is the size of the shimmer the same whether he is on foot or on a mount?

>Does Zeratul's shimmer become any less noticeable if he stops moving?
yes
>Is the size of the shimmer the same whether he is on foot or on a mount?
last time I checked it was no, but yesterday I heard yes

>Get Rexxar that fails to solo boss in CH
>Tries it again when the objective is next to it
>Of course we lose 4v5 then steal his life and boss
>Says he's 3k MMR
>Check hotdogs, he isn't
This community, man.

Mounted is much easier to spot

Okay, might have to poke around then. Perhaps a custom game, or something.

Thanks, though.

Hey, I was situated around 2300 on one of my little vulture accounts, had a (solo) Tassadar on my team in charge of banning.

>died 8 times
>to rexxar
>blamed the team and said he was 3k mmr
>check
>he actually is

Goes to show MMR (In every multiplayer game) doesn't mean much.
