I had a placement last night where two of the people on my team had completed theirs, and placed bronze 4 and plat 3. I don't think the spread is supposed to be that broad, even when 3 people on the team are still doing placements.

Was just watching Bakery's stream, and while everyone was off teamfighting, at 12 minutes a minion wave with catapults + mercs which debuff structures now waltzed into their core and shredded it in like 20 seconds. Full health core with no real reason for anyone to be worrying about winions to all of a sudden "holy poo poo our core is at 30%, oh, we're dead"

I'm not a very good Hanjo... I've won both of the games I've played as him.

Finding that Valeera a blast to play now, though I'm seeing she's pretty soft countered by Nova and Samuro due to the decoy/illusions being smarter and popping your stealth, along with it being difficult to initiate not knowing which they are before you're focused down. I did use her to murder Illidan 1v1 multiple times, butcher Tracer (stun into blind? sheer comedy), slaughter Chromie, Kel'Thuzad and Kaelthas, and overall make healers lives miserable when they don't have a personal bodyguard waiting for only me (Seriously, eat a bag of dicks whoever you were Nova). Nova feels really strong. That baseline snipe quest makes deleting low health heroes a breeze, and pinning shot ensures it's going to hit. Hanzo is a pain in the rear end. "Hey, let's release the stealth changes, the same day we release an anti-stealth character!" Stupid sonic arrow, ruining my "cunningly" planned ambushes. People facechecking bushes and not seeing your entirely invisible rear end? Priceless.

HelixFox posted:Nova's clones cast Snipe and presumably the new AI knows to target it at other stealthers. It's this. Stealth gets popped from one hell of a range away (her range on decoy cast, plus snipe range...) and Vanish goes on cooldown. Then, if I know where the real Nova is, I might be able to sinister strike away and flee before she can tag me with a crippling shot. If I don't, and guess wrong? She puts holes in me, and there is no escaping. Either way, I'm zoned out of the teamfight for at least 7 seconds, and the primary target is safe.

Nova's clones use basic Adept AI, playing as if they were actual Novas. So yeah, they know how to pop someone out of stealth.

The AI has been able to detect stealth for a long while (if not always). Before the stealth changes, before the AI improvements. Combined with their instant response times for CC it makes playing stealthers in vs AI pointless. You get situations where you could 1vs2 real players, but against the AI you end up the one being murdered. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Dec 13, 2017 |

I was asking about Samuro clones, since they don't have any skill shots to reveal with it seemed like a weird thing to say.

I misspoke, I haven't seen Samuro yet, and was mainly referring to the clones preventing me from initiating properly without knowing who is who. Presumably he can't pop you out, but he can waste your vanish, and/or make you take too long picking the right one to initiate and get popped by someone else.

Oof, the Xmas skin bundle is 40 goddamn dollars. I really just want one of the Valla skins. I would have paid 20 like the Halloween bundle was, but no, they had to throw another 5 skins and a mount in the thing too.

Did they walk back on the decision to despawn the second boss camp on a map if the first one gets captured, or did I make that whole thing up in my head? I was playing on Cursed Hollow yesterday, got boss, and was still able to get the other one while the enemy team was dealing with the first.

Yeah, it was because of the weird Kloctus bug where a third boss would spawn if both were taken. Broken in ranked play. Almost got Fan banned.

Nova clone AI is still hit or miss. I've popped it in the middle of a group of minion and had it just sit there not attacking or moving for its entire duration.
