I don't think it's that he is really the fattest, but the kick puts him on the opposite side, so it makes blocking enemies really really easy.

Do we know what percentage of players are in each bracket or division or whatever it is called? I placed into Plat 4 and am just curious and it seems like the numbers are all over the place when I google it.

Gustav posted:5-stacks in QM are very rarely actually coordinated teams, it's usually just some guy and a bunch of people he picked up in a chatroom for the xp bonus Yep. I've been playing a bunch with a friend recently and we've come up against 5 stacks several times. I think once they were actually a well coordinated team who utterly annihilated us, but the rest of the times they haven't been any better than five generic pubbies.

Prior to reworks they did say they wanted more people in plat to avoid the whole crapshoot of long queue times vs "you're getting stomped by players we know are better than you, or stomping players we know you're better than, sorry," that a lot of plat players complained about. I also think they expanded master to 3% and carved both the chunks for plat and master growing out of diamond.

OK guys target Karazhan and take him out before he drops too many heals. Putch keeps hiding in the bush here PING PING PING PING PING so watch for his hook. Don't push to far alone or The Kurgan will jump on you. She has some really nasty burst damage. Look out, DVDA is using self destruct!! Ugh just kill Ling Ling first or we lose the fight Don't worry about their Karl he can't land sun strikes to save his life Arthur please put the hat on our tank during teamfights

so with my 1k gems for hitting lvl 5 i am probably going to buy anubarak and muradin since i got a cool candy skin for him. not sure who to buy with the 800 from the welcome pack. i like a lot of the more expensive ones like dva, auriel, alarak and falstad but i am also tempted to go for 2 cheaper ones like sonya and malfurion and not have dead gems sitting in my account for ages.

I suggest not buying Dva since new characters generally get nerfed or heavy reworks within a month of release. Everyone else you listed is a great value. Also NEVER BUY CHARACTERS YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED "try hero" doesn't count, since it gives you no concept of solo pushing or team interaction. I really like malf, but some people dislike his heals being a heal over time, or find his playstyle boring, but I like that he can fill a bunch of needs in a pinch or can be built for decent wave clear,CC or healing if you wind up stuck by yourself or in a double support game.

UNLESS YOU REALLY NEED MORE DUDES, ONLY BUY DUDES ON SALE. 50% OFF MAKES YOUR GEMS GO A LOT FURTHER.

frakeaing HAMSTER DANCE posted:LOL the fifth pick instalocking Nova would be the toxic rear end in a top hat in this scenario. Both people in this scenario are assholes. Slam picking a DPS as the fifth when the team needs a support is assholish, but so is the assumption of "I'm going to pick what I want and the people after me are obligated to fill." It is not actionable, by Blizzard's rules, to pick any hero. By the written laws of the game, there is no such thing as a troll pick or wrong pick. If you (in the royal sense here) want a support? The absolute only way to be certain you have a support is to pick one yourself. A Nova slam picker won't get very far, I bet. But they're not doing anything against the rules, either.

No one was arguing that it's against the rules. They were arguing that it's a dick move. Because it is. You're loving over your team so you can play your special snowflake hero instead of sucking up the occasional last pick, which won't even always be a role you don't want anyway

That's part of why I don't play draft modes - every time I've tried to play a warrior, it's gone horribly, so I avoid scenarios where I might end up as one.

Yep. The ideal is absolutely that. But if that person doesn't rise above and the other players have been giving ample warning through whichever line of logic has occurred that they might not? It's somewhat their fault for ignoring evidence.

Minrad and I played with you once, though, and you spent the entire match whining that we weren't doing exactly what you thought needed to be done, right away! Perhaps the problem is ... hmm, I don't know,

Goon groups kinda vary, like most people aren't too big of assholes, but I've even gotten a bit frustrated when we're not all on the same page in terms of goals and expectations. That frustrates me more than skill disparity. Like it's okay to just wanna fart around, it's also okay to be srs bznss, but don't insist we get in voice comm and then not actually use it to play the game -or aggressively recruit any and all takers from the goon channel, then chew them out endlessly if they're not good or just learning.

Coolness Averted posted:Goon groups kinda vary, like most people aren't too big of assholes, but I've even gotten a bit frustrated when we're not all on the same page in terms of goals and expectations. That frustrates me more than skill disparity. This is my biggest problem with goonstacks or just pugged premades in general. I understand that everyone has their own skill level, abilities, and decision-making. But if I'm in a five stack and two of us want to tryhard, two of us want to joke around and cap a bunch of mercs or whatever, and one person just wants to see how many Seasoned Marksman stacks they can accumulate before the match ends? That lack of consistent tone and goal gets frustrating. It's not a goon-only thing by any means, of course. But it's one reason I don't just accept blind invites to a group a lot of the time.

The situation we're discussing is not that My experience has been that when you say that, the guy who has played literally 4k games almost entirely as assassins, mostly as Nova, will tell you that you shouldn't play HL if you aren't excellent at every class. He will also refuse to play anything but a stealth assassin, and end the game with a dozen deaths.
