Reposting in new thread in case the dude doesn't even bother reading the rest of the previous thread.
This is good advice imo. I play nothing but QM, and only walk into ranked to get up to Master for the Epic Mount reward then fuck off back to QM. As long as you play QM looking to do the best that you PERSONALLY can do, and before heading into Ranked you do a quick read-up of the basics of a map (As in how to approach the objective of each map and shit.) then just play Ranked.
So, yeah. This is from the perspective of someone who doesn't even fucking like Ranked, I hate it. But Masters is easy to get and I want the mounts, so whatever. I'd also add that you should read up on who to ban on which maps, should you end up getting pegged as the team captain.
Michael Allen
They don't reset your MMR, they let you redo placements starting at where you left off.
Thomas James
Yeah, so if you go 0-14 on a fresh account, get Bronze V then wait until the next season and go 10-0 best bet you get somewhere in low Silver.
I think this is pretty decent, too. Just have to find that self correcting eye/mindset then spam out games.
Grayson Wright
>low Silver You can jump two ranks per win, high Gold or low Plat is possible.
David Murphy
only if you MMR is still highly viotile due to low amount of games. if you ruined your MMR with hundreds of coin flip QM games even going 10-0 wont let you jump more than 3 ranks.
Elijah Murphy
on the upside you are not unfit for your job like 50% of the current casters are.
Jackson Hernandez
That's not how placements work.
Robert Brown
Too bad Grubby didn't take the hgc caster job when it started.
Jason Gutierrez
It happend to me. 54% global winrate with about 90% QM games. skipped 2 seasons after getting gold 4 ranked, went 10-0 and got ranked gold 1.
so according to your theory I should be at least plat if not dia. tell me what went wrong.

He's quoting hotdog bullshit.
He's probably just going to place bronze.

Lead designer said never ever, games too easy to comeback and shirt enough. If you feel the urge to quit just close the game because your brain cannot handle stress and you should end all stimulation immediately via suicide.

Can we get old alpha Raynor's rifle sfx back? That sounded a lot more beefy and satisfying than his current.
Kayden Butler
>close the game Nah, I usually just get up and get another cup of coffee, go to the bathroom, stretch my legs. Come back, alt-tab out of the game and shitpost a little.
Always make sure to rejoin before the match ends so I don't get that leaver penalty though.

Doesn't happen, because Cho'gall and Nazeebo have the exact same powerspikes lategame. That Cho was either half dead already or playing super retarded.

Christian Gomez
wouldn't be surprised if they continued to be ignored like they haven't even gotten a skin because literally nobody plays them
>chromie getting hit by literally any of zeebos abilities um
Camden Scott
nobody plays Cho'Gall either, and he got a rework

>fill your roster. but i dont like all the heroes, i only have 4 mastered heroes (pic related) and im super bad at most of the assasins, and warriors. i prefer to do what and say, and improve with the heroes that im already good, and sometimes, try a hero in qm if i like it or not. i know that, last season, i reach silver 4, then, i lose a lot of maches and ended in bronze 3. now i got placed in silver 4 with 6-4, and now im in bronze 4. welp, im fucked. There“s no way that i can leave this hell now
Camden Gonzalez
Ye, they probably thought the ogre wouldn't flop as hard as he did heroes like vikings, abathur, medivh and cho'gall just feel...problematic
just focus on stuff that isn't exclusive to the hero you're playing
Brandon Sanders
Does anybody else think Kel'Thuzad could use a rework already? I still think he's busted even with his nerfs, and I do like him, but he just has a ton of shitty talents, and a tier where there's only one real option (lvl 7 Glacial Spike). Frost Blast sucks ass even with how many times they've buffed it, and his Q build is terribly boring, underwhelming, and just flat worse than the combo build.
I think they should make Glacial Spike part of his base kit as maybe a 3rd-tier reward for his trait, and maybe make new Q talents.
Thomas Cook
>problematic How about you toss your shitter fuckface back to plebbit? Cho'gall is fine, he doesn't see a lot of play but he's super strong in his niches and his winrate backs that up. Same as Abathur in higher leagues. Medivh is an esports hero, 1 out of 70 is ok. TLV is the only one that really needs to be modernized a bit.
Levi Rodriguez
oh I'm just glad they aren't trying to force their shitty memes heroes and have moved away from releasing them
Jayden Rodriguez
New skin, perhaps?
You can honestly just disable Allied Chat.
Brody Perry
nazeebo truly is a beast check this shit out, the enemy team had us beat in teamights but they lost because i was taking their towers down so fast they couldn't keep up and couldn't even capture altars because all they did was retake towers i was taking constantly down In the end i got so fast at it it got all towers
Luke Cruz
zombie wall build?
Adam Morris
Best current Nazebo builds?
Brayden Jackson
yes the trick is to ignore teamfights and objectives and go everywhere the enemy isn't here a poor sylv tried to have race with me in siege damage by ignoring objectives and teamfights too. Poor undead bitch never stood a chance. Her problem is that sylv can only push with a wave, so i always DELET her wave and went on sieging so all she could do was to flop her impotent arrows taking 10 hours to take down a single tower, while i was showering her forts with spiders and frogs like during the fucking plagues of egypt, taking them down in seconds
Connor Jenkins
>but a talent that gives him more health than fucking supertank stitches And I'm going to assume that he needs about 40 minutes to get that much health.
Evan Taylor
20lvl stitches has 6.5k health that naz with only 148 tacks has 5k health, if you really focuses on taking down creeps you could easily catch up to that in the 20 mins
Parker Scott
i hope you never have this motherfucker on your team.
Aiden Martinez
Talents you always wanna get are Gargantuan and Vile Infection. If you don't think you can complete VI get Humongoid, but definitely try to work for it. It CAN be done before 20 even on 2-lane maps. At 4 choose between Big Voodoo for even more late game power, or Blood Ritual for better sustain. At 13 choices are Ice Block and Superstition. 16 Spider Colony, or Ring of Poison if you're really good at landing it.
Toads build (Pandemic at 1 and Toads of Hugeness at 7) against melee heavy teams, for maps with tons of narrow passageways (like Cursed Hollow), or in cases where you want to zone an area.
Thing of the Deep at 1 and Dead Rush at 7 for a more balanced all-rounder build. Good if you want extra safety and better waveclear. You might be enticed to take Widowmakers for more raw damage, but believe me the extra range on TotD is much more valuable overall.
Spider build with Spirit of Arachyr generally sucks, don't get it. It's best for blowing up one guy but it's unreliable usually and it's his worst waveclear option. Not worth it.
Nathaniel Wright
Ey bruv check his soaked damagge he gioodd Leoric stooopid bronzie
So do the other level 7 options, but those two also better your waveclear (important for a hero who wants to get 175 minion kills ASAP) and don't have a gimmicky requirement like hitting only one enemy in order to make them work.
Jaxson Green
you don't need to kill the minions, you need to have your DOT on them when they die. you can apply the DOT with just the jar of spiders itself.
Adam Green
Yes, but there's still value in being able to take out a wave quickly. It's slower with SoA than with Dead Rush or Toads. With Dead Rush you can just drop the wall in the middle of a wave and throw a Q, then it'll be gone almost instantly, so you can quickly rotate elsewhere and clear the wave there.
Josiah Wright
i don't disagree, i usually run dead rush myself, just, most people make it sound like YOU have to kill the minions when talking about it.

DAILY REMINDER THAT 27.07.2017 WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED AS A DARK DAY IN ORCISH HISTORY.
Blizzard really fucked up with Garrosh's representation in Heroes of the Storm. His abilities and role do not fit his character fantasy in any way. His kit should have been for another character.
Yes, he is fun to play. But he should have been a bruiser, like Artanis, but with burst and less focus on defense and with an ability to force 1v1.
>what Blizzard devs did Hey guys we plan to release Garrosh somewhere in summer 2017 Fast forward summer 2017 Alright guys just attach some existing kit to Garrosh and release him. And dont forget to make a legendary skin + bike with a bunch of tints
Jeremiah Edwards
>crack a pack >there's a legendary in it >get really excited >it's a skin I actually want
>but it's a shitty recolor
Austin Allen
garrosh kit is ok, he only has two problems >wrecking ball should always prioritize heroes >his AA damage is a joke fix those and he will be great
Cooper Diaz
Wrecking Ball would be busted then and his AA damage is already great.
Gabriel White
When your boy is still good
Anthony Hall
No his kit is shit. Its a kit for mountain giant.
And he has more problems
He has bugged W and E - you cast it, it gets cast, but nothing happens. it goes on cooldown. as his abilities are instant this should n ever be the case. enemy was in the range - so the effect from his abilities should apply, but they simply dont.
Liam Martinez
If you were splitpushing solo without going to teamfights, why aren't you finishing your stacks by lv 20?
Henry Lee
that is only possible in an ideal world where your teammates don't steal the creep kills and the enemies won't cock block your from getting the stacks
Kevin Walker
best hero to stomp in gold? - tyrande - illidan - samuro
Jason Myers
>ideal world >where your teammates don't steal the creep kills Milkie pls, you don't need the last hits the minions, they just need the poison DoT on them when they die.
>ideal world >and the enemies won't cock block your from getting the stacks git gud
I never played in an "ideal world" game where I didn't have harassment and people delaying my stacks. But I still fucking finish them in games where I don't stomp hard and win too early.
Justin Bennett
cool now I can fuck back to QM
