Play all the heroes on free rotation and see what types you like. Don't buy heroes just to get into ranked, it's not worth it.

gaem on life support

fuck you I deserve to be much higher on the ladder it's not my fault I get paired up with retards and afks

>not silver slug edition

Trials and tribulations from Silver League. 1-3.

I am with you, friend.
At least there's one good thing in the near future.

>uther getting trait value
>look up Gazlowe
>literal bronze on hotdogs

Whew.

Wonder if we'll be getting the fear mechanic with this fellow. I hope so.

literally all day today

QUICK, CLAIM YOUR FAVORITE BLIZZARD CHARACTER (LORE-WISE)

After 60 games I only got promoted from Gold 2 to Gold 1, guess I need to play better haha :^)

Hahahahahaha this game is a fucking joke

I lose 194 points even though Diablo was AFK for half the game

inb4 >only constant

LITERALLY

>wants to buy a skin for one of my characters

why do they do this

Where the FUCK is Maiev????

what's that colour
bronze? gold?

>randomly have an active stim

ack what happened

>it's another mentally challenged illidan episode

Gold 1

Fucking Blizzshit and their retarded MMR system has me in low elo hell

You were drunk the other day and decided to buy the 365days stimpack

>BOUND BY BONE

I don't imagine literal bronze are capable of taking screenshots, let alone altering them.

It's just a random 24 hour stim, looks like. Wonder if it's from the stream earlier.

>dead the entire game
>most experience

Huh.

...

...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

yes give me the maximum amount of minus rank points when I get matched with a Sonya who deals less damage than tyrande

epic, simply epic

thanks blizzshit for your god awful MMR system

>be cap

>him

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I get matched with another Leap Sonya who dies 7 times in 13 minutes

FUCK
YOU
BLIZZARD

THE ONLY CONSTANT IS THE FUCKING RETARDS I GET MATCHED WITH

Should've seen him before the nerfs.

Still pretty great, though, especially if they don't have an easy/reliable way of stopping the spin.

>5 minute loss

good grief did you screenshot that

no one cares, ipwnlocks, go rage on reddit or blizz forums and fuck off

>ipwnlocks
who?

>play halfway through the match
>kinda tough but seems like we are winning
>suddenly 10 minutes ISP network maintenance
>get back expecting -200 points
>instead "PROMOTION"
so you get the points even if you leave, thats interesting...

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING MEEEEEEEEEEEE

WHY THE FUCK IS THE MATCHMAKING AND MMR SYSTEM SO SHIT

...

...

If I lose this demotion match because of yet another retard I'm uninstalling HotS

I hope you do if that 's you.

no one cares about your raging blogging adventures faggot

Are you getting paid to shill for Blizzard's shit tier MMR and matchmaking? Or are you just a corporate fanboy dickhead? In either case, >>/v/ is that way

>kt changes
>literally a buff if his explosion hits another target
>barely a nerf if it doesn't, he loses about 40 damage in total
okay

>if you disagree with me being a shitter and being absolutely incapable of adapting, go to the place I can't even properly link to!
After you.

If you are having a bad time and to many losses, just play a fun game.
Go unranked/QM
Pick a strange hero. Build your favorite hero in a dumb way.
Try a style you would never do in a real game.
Shake it up and remember that it's just a game.
Lose or win, have a little bit of fun and be silly for one round.
If you can't do this then you need to uninstall.
>yfw you are too serious to have fun

>>>/reddit/

what are the colours supposed to represent

>I'm a pussy who thinks everyone should get a participation medal
Why do you play competitive games? There's farmville if you just want to play for fun

KT is getting a 100% buff. 34 less dmg over time, 62 more to explosion.
Blizz interns can't into balance.

(You)

>not particularly good, and usually just fill to avoid bothering anybody
>go 5-5 in placements, or something
>put in diamond
>on multiple accounts

I honestly don't even know what you have to do to be stuck in Gold.

...

>tfw you play like shit and feed like crazy but your team carries you

was still top dmg as I was kt, that hero is so fucking broken

How did you come to that conclusion?
Play an unranked game in a less serious way to change your mindset = pussy participation medal?
Guess I'm a pussy then.
>mfw

FOR HONOR

I literally won 8 out of 10 placement matches and got put in fucking Gold 1 because I ended up in elo hell in pre season

Now I can't get out of the new elo hell because I get matched with utter retards

Last two games were Sonya with leap who did less than 25k hero damage

How the fuck is that my fault

>elo

>preseason elo hell

Ehhh, I don't know about that.

>I can't get out of the new elo hell

If you aren't better than the average individual of your current MMR you literally belong there, friend.

Stop blaming your teammates; we all get problematic ones, but they aren't the reason we're "stuck" anywhere.

>gold
>looks like an orange
ok Blizzard

>trying to reason with raging retards who cry "muh mmr hell" thinking they belong in GM
lol?

>always 20-25 points short of promo

fucking kill me

*kills you*
heh >:D

Hey, I'm just trying to see if I can in any way be of assistance.

Wait, what?

>sometimes it's fun and relaxing to just play a strings-free unranked match to wind down after suffering significant rating/mmr losses
>fuck you get out of my competitive game

Relax, friend.

Well, that's unfortunate. I was 15 points off then dropped nearly 2000 before getting back to the promotion. Needless to say I took a break to play some unranked.

>promotion match
>suddenly team full of imbeciles
is this on purpose?

'Just another match.

It's all about finding the strength to queue back up after getting the Brazilian insta-lock first pick Illidan that doesn't speak a word of English two games in a row.

>kaelthas finally gets through
>gets picked by teammate who didn't land a single stun in 20 minutes when he had diablo and uther for setup

I just had a map where kt got through the first ban phase, we were second pick, the enemy team first picks butcher so I thought nice. Then our team picks nazeebo and leoric, and of course they get kael and we lose.

ouch

wow look I didn't get a retard on my team and I absolutely fucking dominated

there's your fucking silver bullet for the MMR and matchmaking being shit theory

Can you hear when an enemy Dehaka goes into a bush near you?

Yes

Yeah, especially if they got diarrhea.

>guys I got one good game! mming isn't shit!

That Johanna really had a thing for waves, huh.

>play without sound

Okay, that's nice to know. Usually just operate under the assumption he could pop out of any bush at any time if I haven't seen him Z in the past 30 seconds or so.

What am I meant to do when one of my teammates runs into the enemy team alone? I'm in Diamond 3, I figure there should be a minimal amount of retards here.

No, literally 3/4 of all games I am the best player on my team, but I can't progress because I get matched with absolute mouth breathers

MMR rewards points based on win loss only, and doesn't take into account retards going afk or only taking camps or picking leap on sonya

I get punished more severely than my retarded teammates who are more to blame for the loss than me

>only 94k hero dmg by the 23th minute as fucking Fal
bronze af

Got bullied by Nova and Dehaka, your point is moot

>getting bullied by spooky ghost lady of zero damage
>getting bullied by le essence collecting man of slow walking

>getting bullied ny nova and dehaka
>fucking dehaka

bronze is here

>not bullying them
shit falstad

>bullied
>by nova

If you look at the image you'll note Nova's 124k hero damage and Dehaka was their second best player

I am not claiming to be some amazing Falstad player, but I still bossed that game, which only further proves my point that I am way below my true MMR level

>falstad bullied by dehaka and his four inch long tongue on a 20 second cd

user

Poor Malfurion.

>that nova hero damage what the literal shit

Gazlowe is apparently really strong in Silver league
>place turret
>enemy assassins run away
>team fight
>lay down more turrets
>take robo-goblin to focus turrets
>help secure kills
>take deth-lazer
>take chunks away at enemy assassin who get in turret range
feels good

she was probably hitting johana most of the time

She was bullying me and Lunara most of the time. Lunara was shit and died a lot, I had to retreat a lot.

>Make Rehgar a fun aggressive support.
>Bit powerful so they ignore his healing output and instead nerf literally everything else and make him back into a healbot.
>THEN nerf his healing.

My jimmies are rustled.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Mhm, his turrets are as smart in Bronze as they are in Grand Master, and a lot of melee just can't deal.

>we have to pick inferior ult to control because getting a focus-fire button on our 1 would confuse players

I think he's a ton of fun, and hope they eventually make him playable. First picked him in a diamond smurf game the other day and nobody bothered counterpicking, and it was a steamroll victory in our favor after I hit a four man grav-o.

Isn't he basically like pre-rework Rehgar once these changes go live?

I feel that feel.
Why do they hate Rehgar?
His heals were not even that strong to begin with. I nice change would have been lower or raise the first target heal and lower/raise the rest of the chain to shift the balance whatever way they feel would be good. A flat nerf to his heal is just mean after all the dmg nerfs.

Bu-but tiny LS buff.

>tychus bragging about his 0 deaths and blaming his team for loss
>while all he did was avoid every teamfight and splitpush
im fine with losing as long as idiots like these also lose, otherwise they might think they are doing it right.

>FEEL THE VENOM OF NERUB
What's the point of him saying this (other than being a w3 phrase) if blizzard didin't add even 1 (one) "venom"/dot ability/talent to good ol' anub'arak
