Dire Human posted:It's not a 1-to-1 comparison, it was just the first mobile Assassin I thought of. I'm just really jonesing for a new lane-clearing Specialist to sink my teeth into and it sucks that it's not also my favorite Overwatch character who seems perfect for the job. I feel like he's going to be like a more mobile Kael'thas. Solid range, AoE damage, area denial, CC, etc.

Exactly what I was about to say. Assassin/spec is a loose distinction that doesn't mean "is bad at split pushing"

Just looked at Reddit and quite a few people are bashing the influx of Overwatch heroes. It's sad cause Ana and Junkrat are some of the coolest characters, but I guess people really like that nostalgia.

What I'm disappointed in is the amount of heroes who are clean shaven, like come the gently caress off. Bring on the heroes who have more beard than anything else. This applies for women as well.

Uther, Leoric (vrykul), Falstad, Muradin, Malfurion, Kharazim, Raynor, Greymane, Xul, Samuro, Stukov, Gall, Medivh, ETC, Chen, Thrall, Gul'dan... This game has p. good beard representation imo. Edit: Olaf and Erik too. If we include moustaches, we can add Cho and Baelog.

I don't think anywhere near as many people would groan at new OW characters if basically all of them hadn't been really frustrating so far. No continued resource costs other than Zarya in a roundabout way, crazy mobility in like the only game of the genre where you can't make decisions to change up your movespeed without it coming from a character, attacking while moving without having to bother with dumb stutter stepping, not limited to them obviously but on release their balance or lack thereof making the previous points even more obnoxious. As soon as people kept picking Tassadar around them, Tracer got awful to see plus the first taste of them getting dumb mobility. There was and is so much poo poo to Genji it hardly needs expanding upon. Zarya snapped from bad to ridiculous and then got evened out. D.va's dumb and only exists to ult and be annoying/lose the match most of the time. Lucio got to be a plague in two games for a while. Now even if I like him, it sounds like Junkrat is another assassin with more goofy mobility while who knows what Ana's going to do. Yardbomb fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Sep 16, 2017 |

I mean to be fair, Junkrat's mobility is probably going to be fiddlier seeing as it's based around his concussion mine.

I don't know how much I can really reflect on it beyond understand the fact that it must have been pretty miserable, but I did do that much. I don't claim that the opponents there were fools or bad people, just that they made the mistake of ignoring a 5-push with a Sylvanas. I've certainly made such mistakes too, it can happen to us all. I try to keep in mind that for every game I lose, there are people on the other side who won. And vice versa.

It's very polarizing and I can't really put my finger on why. I got bored of it fast but I don't mind having many more of those characters. I would really like a Mei or Sombra. 2) OW characters in HOTS I think are pretty fairly hated because of their overloaded kits especially how mobile they are. Others have exhaustively made this point though.

If they're looking for a lower-speed Overwatch character to add then Ana is definitely one of them; it was actually a surprise at her original reveal that she was a sniper without a mobility option. Other good options would be Mei, Mccree, or Symmetra (!).

Power Bottom posted:That's some hot garbage right there. If you're going to have a hero like the Lost Vikings, at least have the balls to go full tilt on their unique mechanics. The mech is clearly meant to be powerful enough to justify two players piloting it, so it seems like it would be too much to allow TLV's team to keep four heroes outside the mech on top of a third viking soaking elsewhere.

"These actions were targeted at players whose in-game performance data, combined with high report volume, clearly shows a consistent lack of contribution to the majority of their matches" So, afk less than 40% of your matches and you're probably safe.

Talking about mobility reminds me that is why the game feels painful sometimes. Genji for instance if he is caught out has 2 escape mechanics and a short immunity to keep him from dying. One of the escape mechanics even resets if the target dies during use or within a window. It's bad character design to give a moba character so many ways to stay in the game and have the damage he has. The same feels bad for Chromie and her hearth talent. If you don't have burst she gets away and can come back relatively quick to poke and knock out more people.

I finally had couple really enjoyable games of new Lt. Morales last night. It involved me playing with my friend who played Raynor all night and just stim-packing him on cooldown. One or the other of us MVP'd every match. The Level 20 Hyperactivity halving the CD of Stim Pack and doubling the move speed seems just really strong if you have anyone competent who can play an auto-attacker. Hitting someone with that is just absurd. This is what I did: https://www.heroesfire.com/hots/talent-calculator/lt-morales#osev I don't really have any strong opinions about the 13/16 talents, flexed those around each match depending on what seemed to fit the situation.

Seebach posted:The same feels bad for Chromie and her hearth talent. If you don't have burst she gets away and can come back relatively quick to poke and knock out more people. Chromie's Bye Bye is just a talent, first of all - she doesn't have it by default and she's giving up other options to get access to it. Secondly, using it removes her from the fight. Genji, by comparison, has two movement skills and Protection as core facets of his design, all of which can be used to get in and out of fights as needed. So no, there's not really much comparing to be done here.

So skill set for Ana has been leaked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/70gqpu/ana_skillset_leak_spanish/ Combat Trait: Shrike Basic attacks poison enemies (except buildings), inflicting 40 damage over 5 seconds. This effect can be stacked up to 5 times. Q: Healing Dart Launches a dart that heals the first allied hero hit for 250 Health. Cooldown: 2 seconds W: Biotic Grenade Throws a grenade at the target area. Affected allied heroes are healed for 175 Health and receive 25% additional healing for 3 seconds. Affected enemy heroes suffer 60 damage and receive 100% reduced healing for 2 seconds. Cooldown: 16 seconds. E: Sleep Dart Launches a dart that puts the first enemy hero hit to sleep, preventing any action for 3 seconds or until receiving damage. Cooldown: 14 seconds. R1: Nano Boost Instantly restores 200 mana to an ally hero, as well as increasing spell power by 30% and cooldown recharge rate by 150% for 8 seconds. Cooldown: 50 seconds R2: Eye of Horus Takes a sniper position and gains the ability to fire 8 special shots with unlimited range. Bullets hit the first allied or enemy Hero in its path. Allies are healed for 300 Health and enemies receive 175 damage. Buildings can block shots. Cooldown: 60 seconds. I'm surprised to see the way they decided to differentiate between Stim Drone and Nanoboost. Other than that, it should be interesting, especially seeing how people use the 100% healing reduction. jimmydalad fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Sep 16, 2017 |
