You claimed that in this system that the people who hated a particular map would end up playing that map more often than they would under a purely random system.

I not only hate the idea of a veto, I also hate the idea of a map rotation at all. The thing that differentiates HotS from other MOBAs is the battlegrounds. That's the tactical tradeoff for not worrying about item builds or separate xp levels.

I'm fine with a rotation as long as it's a varied enough pool and rotates frequently enough, or if it's the style of "We noticed X map is really unbalanced with the last 2 characters we released. So we're phasing them out for the next 2 weeks" or like what happened when Haunted Mines was mothballed for a rework because the hero scaling changes made what was already a lovely map unplayable. With the exception of the unbalanced/broken map thing it really should only apply to QM though.

Somebody literally walked right into my house and I absolutely had to deal with it : / I was on that team, don't worry about it. That exact same thing happened to me the other day, that's just life. I don't mind any of the maps either--maybe I lack a discerning MOBA pallette--but whenever I think about the map rotation I remember all the great maps I played in the first Nexus Challenge, and it's kinda sad. Also: still super happy I got Darth Vader Leoric and the Star Chariot mount in the same loot box. I may never git gud but I will enjoy playing dress up with my Blizzard dolls, drat it.

I have played over a decade of dotalikes (much to my personal detriment) and I consider myself very good at these games. Yet I have a preference for a few HOTS maps and indifference towards the rest except for Garden of Terror.

People don't like it because it promotes passive play by trading objectives without violence and the terror is unfun to fight. I love it because TLV is my favorite thing in this game, but otherwise I'm inclined to agree.

A limited map pool is easier for new players to learn. You know what also makes it easy for new players to learn? Voice chat

They could use Rainbow Six Siege map selection. Everyone picks the maps they want in their options. It matches ten people and then throws all the allowed maps in a pool, one more "ticket in the hat" for each player that allows it. And then it picks one. So saying no to a map makes it less likely but if you get matched people that like that map they still get their chance to play on it.

I'm sure there's some psychological principal that says if you give someone the ability to vote for/against a map and they get it anyway due to RNG or other player's choices, that's worse than having no choice at all. "gently caress blizzard I've had 12 games in a row without getting my choice, this sucks I quit"

Belzac posted:What if between all 10 players every map is vetoed? Do you then play on a map that got vetoed but not as much? That's not a hard veto system that's a soft one. Or are you suggesting the captain pick a map to ban and everyone else can shove it. Either way you're still going to be "forced" to play on a map you don't like. You put up 3 maps and everyone votes. Don't act like no game has a map veto system that works this is just asinine

Ok, so I hit level 250 last night and got my epic chest. Then I brawled as Nova 3 times and got Nova to level 2. Got 2 regular chests (brawl + level). My account level still 250. Does account level only count owned heroes? What will happen if I buy a hero I already have levels on? Will my account level go up when I buy them? Can that increase in levels give me Rare/Epic chests that are based on total account level?

All levels across owned or unowned characters counts towards your level, except level 1. Otherwise everyone would be level 20+ on account creation and gain a level and loot box every time a character is released. Not sure why you had a level up that didn't count. Are you sure you were/are 250 and not just looking at the progress counter to the next big reward for account level up?

I can guarantee you that I checked my progression before and after the level up and I was still at 0/25 and 0/5 for the next chest reward. That level straight up did not count.

I just had my first ever hero league placement match..... I don't know why I'm surprised by the toxicity. Each match should just have a notification pop up saying "We are about to match you up with people who have poor social skills, GL HF".

I reached a point where it was more unfun to lose than fun to win and more or less stopped playing. I blame most of this on one of my friends deciding he was a tank main (he should not be. Ever.) The dumb cross promotion got me playing again and I still feel the same way, except oh hey I guess Leoric is pretty good again. Awesome.

I haven't played wc3 in about a million years so I've forgotten everything other than that scene where Arthas returns and the bells are tolling. To keep this hots related, Arthas is cool and good but I suck terribly at using him. How do I Arthas properly?

Learn to toggle E off when there's nothing to hit, and learn to aim W in front of moving heroes so they get caught in it.

Uther's level 1 Q quest is done before level 3 if the other team has a Tychus or Tracer. That owns.
