It's a bug. I got 30 seconds of silence on a Thrall earlier

It might add up all the stun time from Sunder. You could get 30 seconds off that pretty easily if you were always hitting multiple people.

I get that one a lot on Brightwing just from polymorphing people.

So earlier tonight I queued up for hero league and it did the thing where it finds a game then before anything loads says someone left and the game was cancelled. I then went to play unranked draft cuz I didn't feel like waiting for another long queue.

That game ends and I decide to do ranked again and I've somehow lost like 300 ranked points and am at a demotion game. My game history doesn't have me ever getting into any ranked game.

My only guess is I lost points cuz of that game that didn't start which has me kinda frustrated right now. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

this is fine



I've had several :argh: comcast :argh: interruptions during draft, which cause leaver queue, but it has never said someone ELSE left the game and it was canceled.

The exception was one time when all of Blizz went down, Blizz Twitter announced they were having problems, yet I still got leaver penalty :downs:

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Posting here to bitch that I was getting sperged at by someone on my team on Hanamura for "not coming down to team fight" when I was soloing a top fort kill on Sonya. Also, we hit 10 first because I was doing that.

How is that not seen as a good thing?

Spoiler: we ended up losing that game.

Sometimes it's better to be in the wrong place as 5 than the right place as 1. Not saying that you made a bad call. But mobas sometimes devolve into baby sitting the worst most impulsive member on the team

Didn't even get into the game in this case. Like the queue timer disappeared, it made the "you found a game" noise, it held for a second, then basically said "no game's happening" and gave me the option to queue again without leaving the queue screen. This is not an uncommon occurrence for me or my friends who play here, but it could be a weird Chinese server thing if you've never seen it. I have never lost ranked points or been put into leaver queue over it, though.

So is the Summer Event starting tomorrow? I haven't heard anything about it since the trailer for it made its rounds around the internet a few weeks back.

Also who's been hoarding their Loot Chests for the Event? I even leveled up like 20 odd Heroes where now they sit with just a hair amount of exp left to level up for easy quick event boxes if this hoarding doesn't pan out, which it probably will, since they are random at opening. You might think I'm crazy (I am) but I actually I had a lot of free time this pass two weeks and unfortunately will be ultra busy for the next two so I won't even get to really play during the event, oh well.

There was some summer event type loot chests "skins" data mined IIRC, but they could just be skins for the chests, who knows.

The way I look at it, either the summer stuff still has a chance to drop out of the normal boxes, in which case saving them was justified, or it doesn't, in which case I just get my shards from all the dupes I'm bound to get now as opposed to over the last few weeks, and then I can just spend those shards on the summer stuff that I really want.

Another plus on hoarding for an event is that your bound to get some Stimpacks from all your Chests, and if you plan on playing during the event you might as well have those Stimpacks start when the event starts and not have them drain out a week prior.

After playing like 5 or 6 games of new Thrall my opinion is that he is totally rear end. Too many quests to get up to a power level that isn't even really that impressive.

The Summer Loot Chests are definitely going to have unique contents, and they will definitely be tied to the Summer event in some form. Looking at the data, you'll be able to buy them in the same quantities that you can normal Loot chests (I.E. up to 52). The only thing I'm not for-sure on is if they'll completely replace normal Loot Chests' availability during the Summer event, or if they'll be separate.

We also don't know if it'll be OW style -limited time drop AND limited time craft time or more like hearthstone and limited window of purchase but can craft whenever. Or for that matter how cheesy they'll be about crafting costs.

Power Bottom posted:

The skin in general is a reference to Liefeld and his bullshit. The leotard and the metal arms/legs are Cable, the incredibly stupid loving swords and boxer headgear are Shatterstar, and the pouches all over are Liefeld's habit of completely covering every single character he ever drew in little leather pouches.

Edit: I can't help but link these articles every time Rob Liefeld is brought up, even if I'm the one bringing them up.

It's not just Liefeld; there's definitely some Todd McFarlane by way of Angela, too. That skin is basically a love letter to the horror show that was 90s comics.

At least HOTS's boxes determine content when you open them rather than OW's boxes that determine content when you obtain them, meaning you can save boxes for opening until there's something you want.

The results of the 84 chests I had saved up (accidentally opened the 85th last night):


8 legendaries, I think. 18 days of Stimpack, too. Bunch of duplicate heroes, no new ones (I'm still missing 22 out of 68).

Probably slightly inflated at this point, since the only time Malthael gets to come out and play is against teams that don't know what they're doing (since they didn't ban Malthael).

Malthael has the same exact problem that Tychus had before he got nuked: excessive amounts of Percentage damage and healing.

The difference is that Malthael has way more mobility, sustain, and AOE than Tychus ever did.
