They didn't have one last year, what makes you think they will this year.

MOMMY BUFFS NEXT PATCH
>Thanks for the detailed feedback and glad you're liking her overall! >One thing I want to address is the fact that you can't currently max-range W and walk over it when retreating without having to stop. This is something we intended to be possible, but we accidentally broke the timing at some point before release. I believe we're looking to address this in an upcoming patch, which should help quite a bit. >I do hear a lot of feedback asking for the delay to be reduced, but something I don't think people realize is that making it shorter will also make it harder for your team to respond and get into the circle before it goes off. That's tough to appreciate right now while everyone's still learning, but there's a future a week or two from now where players have a pretty good handle on the timing and are playing around Abundance much more efficiently. >The biggest mistake I see players make right now is that they see Abundance go down and just stand in it, making them easy targets. The thing is there's no benefit to being in Abundance at any time other than the moment it goes off, so the ideal scenario is you dip in just before it activates, which makes you a lot harder for enemies to hit and is less disruptive to whatever else you're doing. We put a ton of effort into making the activation timing very clear for exactly this reason. >Timing aside, we'll definitely be keeping a close eye on both Alexstrasza's overall performance as well as how Abundance & related talents are doing. There's still a lot of room for skill growth and I think we want to be careful not to overreact, but we're not opposed to making the ability easier to use if needed.
>Originally this was done to be thematically consistent, and it never really proved to be a problem in our playtests. However I do think your feedback is reasonable, and if we get to a point where we want to buff her Dragon form, I think we'd be open to trying a flat heal amount on Q.
Alexander Russell
Reminder that Malthael loses the lane to Probius and struggles with against Murky.
Elijah Myers
sup bronzie
Gavin Nguyen
Reminder if Probius and Murky are in your game, you already lost anyway.
Mason Turner
With any luck they'll be inspired by the recent EA drama.
Probably not, though. Last year blew.
Gavin Cooper
Accept the truth T. Abathur main
Zachary Brown
>W getting fixed
Uhhh can someone explain what is the problem with W?
Ryan Richardson
>Melee struggles against ranged What a profound discovery
Juan Hernandez
Reminder the patch is only going to have a small health buff, and the bug fix.
Joseph Wood
What bug?

Jayden Gutierrez
Murky isn't Ranged, and there was one guy who claims that Malthael is the best solo laner in the game
Logan Edwards
Murky's low health makes Malthael's passive useless
James Lopez
>ask someone if they can play a hero I plan to ban, as we're first pick >he says yes and picks it >he is terrible at it and we lose because of him
Cameron Morgan
The majority of Malthael's damage comes from Q though.
Brayden Gonzalez
Exactly, so here one guy say that Malthael is the best only to struggle with Murky is hilarious
Samuel Fisher
So milf is gonna be even better?
Mason Sanchez
Which won't do much against Murky.
Ethan James
I can see how q can become good if you go for increased damage to a single target and slow, but overall he is a dot guy imo. Q is good for sustain and wave clear, I agree. But as a damage source? Not so sure since I don't view him as a burst assassin, like Kerrigan for example
Samuel Price
It's like 20% of his HP each cast
Jordan Murphy
Congratulations, you killed Murky. Much xp will be granted to your team, only if you reply "mrmrmglrmglrgmrl"
Jonathan Hall
you can build into it and its 25% and 40% for self cast
Wyatt Bell
Please don't post pictures of my gf.
Blake Cooper
Yeah
A shame about the bubble
Henry Morris
>play against alex >win >play with alex >lose
really makes me think also really makes me wish murder upon all the retards on my team picking this crap hero literally all my games today were either losses with alex or wins without her
William Ross
HOW DO WE SAVE HOTS?
Hudson Nguyen
A good murky can kill any hero in a 1v1, the comparison isn't fair.
Robert Campbell
Murky doesn't win vs Malthael you humongous retard, 80% of Murky's lane pressure lies in his egg, which Malthael can destroy effortlessly, he doesn't win the war by attrition either considering Malthael has infinite sustain in lane, his bet bet is waiting 5 minutes for his mana to run out
Kill yourself you fucking retard
Andrew Anderson
stop letting silvers place plat-master it shits up the ladder
Jayden Williams
remember to never communicate and ALWAYS pick whatever you want if you want to climb
Evan Sullivan
This is why I never buy a new hero until they drop to 10k and have at least one patch.
And Probius which is a construct and doesn't count
Wyatt Jenkins
>which Malthael can destroy effortlessly With what siege damage? Most murky hides their egg by the fort, which Malthael is going to take his sweet time getting to.
Nolan Adams
The new mmr rework will just force people to focus on the wrong things instead of trying to win.
Colton Diaz
By bringing thots
Jose Edwards
I'm talking about the pufferfish are you being dense on purpose? fucking retard
Jackson Murphy
this. ive advocated this since preseason, everyone should have a hl mmr of around 1200 when they start, and it should be unaffected by all joke modes like qm tl and unranked draft. have a hardcap on plat 3 or diamond 3 if you were master or above prev season, would have a season inbetween whwre everyone got hardcapped in plat 3 to weed out all the trash. The biggest flaw in hots is that ranks doesnt matter for shit until you are gm 100, which is why itll never be taken seriously. silver shits from dota and lol luck out in placements and gets placed in dia/master, its hurting the competitive part of the game really bad
Angel Campbell
>no gnomes or draenei feelsbadman
Michael Parker
I play both of those heroes religiously (murky lvl 73 and maelth lvl 40+) and can vouch for murky being able to stomp maelth. You can even build against him a little bit but I never need to. He hard counters maelth tho.
Adrian Lopez
The murky is now standing on the pufferfish. Checkmate, atheists.
Nathaniel Murphy
yeah we were talking about that last night. I wonder what they're waiting for to release Mekkatorque
Luke Williams
For real, though, i find it hilarious that shit tier trash like Raynor and Murky are decent solo lane Malth counters.
Isaiah Butler
This is pretty much what ruined ranked.. I can't fucking wait for the new personal system. Right now it's whoever has the least amount of shitters wins.
Landon Reed

Lincoln Adams
>hadn't played in a while >do placements >placed in silver1 >an afk player/leaver in every other matches >literally in all my matches I end up with Gazlowe + at least one other specialist on my team >they never do camps >often 2 specs in the same lane >go grav-o-bomb in PvE focused maps >also a shitload of shitty toad naz who gloat about highest damage when they have 10 deaths and never did a single camp I'm literally getting mad, not at the game but at the fucking retards I'm forced to play with, and the worst things is that reporting a feeder/afk does nothing because I'm teamed with them the game right after.
Carter Murphy
She's not good right now.
Leo Gutierrez
Sorry, I shouldn't have said Murky was dumpster tier, that was rude of me. Raynor being able to completely shit on Malth 1v1 still tickles me, though.
Aiden Taylor
Reporting works, just not immediately for stuff like feeding/afking.
Dominic Martin
wut
Elijah Hall
Someone posted about a suspension in the thread yesterday for AFKing in ranked
Reports work user just not instantly
Jack Barnes
too bad I already lost 400 points at least in the meantime
Ethan Williams
not in lane fucking retard kill your self
Jacob Murphy
Well I wouldn't worry too much about the draft at that rank. I've seen retarded comps like all specialist comps rek in silver. Drafts don't matter that much till your team knows how to group up. Like plat your comp makes or breaks you half the time. They know how to group up properly and how to engage.
I wouldn't mind being silver again just to slaughter people.
Ethan Morris
Not true because if everyone is trying to game the system to get the most points that means they will be playing well overall and trying to win and trying even when your team isn't winning. That's pretty much 99% of the issues with this game is someone gives up or stops trying. In the new system if you aren't performing well and keeping a high engagement to the end that means you are throwing away your own score aka putting yourself in the shitter.
It's a godsend if it works.
Luke Bailey
then you played against a shit tier murky
Grayson Rodriguez
Yeah it's a shame. If you are confident that it's your bunga team just wait for next season. There's no way you'll climb to plat+ before then anyway.
Just take to UD or QM and practice in the meantime.
William Johnson
you trying to ignore them in game? isn't there an option to completely turn off the chat? i know there is one to disable messages from people not your friend.
Thomas Harris
Yep.
It's something everybody deals with to a degree and as of now there's only so much to be done about it. Maybe the personal performance adjustments will help to ease the blow.
Asher Wood
of course it's my fucking bunga team the fuck you can do when your Reghar purposefully ignores objectives and TF and instead pushes a lane all game on purpose because he isn't happy with the draft even though if he participated it would have been an easy win
Anthony Cox
Oh shit 7 days 'suspension', i.e; not a silence
Adam Ward
Ye, can't even log in.
Just tell everybody to split, get mercs, push in lanes, etc. I know it's shitty to give an objective but making the most of it is usually better than just running in 4v5, dying and falling even further behind.
Objectives can be overrated, anyways. Especially early, namely on maps like Foundry.
Jeremiah White
except lategame foundry objective after a won tf means a win, also people in silver literally ignore mercs even when I ping them
Charles Allen
If I'm brand new to the game and mobas in general is there anything I should know so as not to be a burden on my team? I just play arthas
Jackson Gonzalez
>Foundry Yea new exploit strat on that map is to completely ignore the objective and split push like crazy. We tried it out and got all 6 of their bases and they never even got a fort. I bet they were confused.
Oliver Adams
Yep, that's what I've been doing since day 1 with almost 100% success. Want to screech at people playing shit like Zag and keep leaving lanes to contest the obj.
Soak expeirence (be near minions when they die) Don't be a cunt in draft/chat, mute useless people Try to avoid dying
Take everything with a grain of salt, especially absolutes. (ie; always go to the objective)
Juan Ross
To add to this, pick Naz is borderline broken on this map, because even if you are losing you are guaranteed level 20 and Naz is the best hero in the game at 20.
Elijah Gutierrez
Seconding. Rotate between whatever two lanes to guarantee those stacks.
Dominic Williams
>auto-select matches me with four assassins >gives me an assassin
well designed system
Josiah Wright
qm is so fun!! i llove blizzard!!!
Anthony Hughes
with Arthas all you need to be able to do to be considered worth your weight is root people that are trying to flee. your team will love you and you'll love yourself.
icy talons/rune/hungering build blows people up, but i enjoy his deathcoil build for sustain.
the only time you spec breath of sindy is if you're positive you're on a rapetiem team and they can really benefit from the slow, otherwise just go army.
Luis Edwards
auto select gave me Arthas when we already had 2 tanks. it completely fucked us over, i think they need to take a look at that again.
Asher Price
>game is so shit right now even streamers who play the game for a living hate it and dont stream it often
shitty ranked system + cancerous ass community do that to a game
Kayden Bell
yea we had a naz when we did it too
Ethan Harris
Grubby and chu8 stream often, no one else is worth watching.
Cameron Robinson
grubby takes like 80 vacations from the game a year
Evan Kelly
chu8 is best streamer
Brody Myers
Nubkeks and kendricswissh are pretty legit too.
Cooper Jackson
He generally takes them to go and commentate some big tourney though.
Kevin Hernandez

Joshua Thomas

Wyatt Long

Matthew Hill

Matthew Thompson
Quick Match doesn't aim for anything other than fast queue times and trying to match hero roles. It does not force composition because data shows that meta comps and whacky comps are all about 50% WR so there's nothing to fix.
If you want fairer games play a different mode.
Robert Bailey
it's bots, which confuses me as to why it wouldn't attempt a more normal comp in general, since bots wind up matching your team comp
Carter Anderson
Oh, then it matters even less then. You can literally 1v5 the bots by just basic attacking them on any hero they are extremely stupid.
Jacob Brown
>team comp >in a bot game
Jose Taylor
yeah if you're plat 3 fuck off back to plebbit
Liam Ortiz
Imperius when? Itherael when?
Charles Green
>Reaper of Souls cinematic >Tyrael in the horadric vault >Sticks out Aldruin, an angelic sword that can only harm evil beings, at Malthael as he approaches the Black Soulstone after slaughtering the vault keepers >it passes right through him >Malthael disarms Tyrael with a flick of his scythe
Wait, does this mean that Malthael was still good after becoming a murderous monster? Did Malthael do nothing wrong?
Connor Myers
Humans are half demon in Diablo world, so yeah, he didn't really hurt anyone pure.
Parker King
At that time tyrael was a nigger not an angle unlike malth
Nathaniel Cook
I see, thanks
Nathaniel Nguyen
No. It's explained in the story why Tyrael can't hurt him, the hero has to do something special before they can hurt them as well.
