So is Li-Ming or Orphea more of a magical girl?ToastyPotato posted:That doesn't change my opinion at all. Targeting my own dudes to manage when they hit enemy towers is stupid. That's even more stupid than killing them to prevent the enemy from getting XP/gold. Again, it is a dumb mechanic born out of Dota being a mod for an old game. And now people defend it like it is some kind of 4D Chess. It's silly and basically a few steps away from being Calvinball levels of silly. It's okay to admit you're not good enough to keep track of it.

I'm not wrong in thinking whitemane is real silly, right? If you don't have a way to get to her she's pretty loving hard to out-damage.

Brah she's weak to dive, just gotta save your burst for after the 4 seconds of 40 armor.

Oh absolutely, that 40 armor negates so much burst, and on a 60 second cooldown it beats so many "fight-winning" ultimates that it's insane. On top of the armor is a heal and her trait, so she can start healing herself and her team up instantly.

What's the deal with the new hero? Am I correct in thinking she's "out" now for Blizzcon attendees? I ask because I haven't seen her in-game and I would very much like to play as goth-gf.

Almost 100% of heroes are PTR for a week, then live. I think they blundered some hero a while back and he/she spent 2 weeks in PTR?

Had the urge to jump back into the game, and it's still pretty fun. I figure the game is at a bit of a low point based on my QM queues and the talk of the thread, but hopefully it'll bounce back eventually. This is my go-to for casual MOBA play. Nothing wowed me from Blizzcon though so maybe that day is a bit further off.

I still get games in QM in 30-60 seconds most days I play. Plus I only had one raging homophobe over the weekend and that’s like, a new record.

Haven't had any issues with QM queue times in the 6 weeks since I have been playing again (EU). My biggest single gripe though is the zerg in middle lane at the start of every match. I have lost count the number of times 4-5 people from one team have milled about doing nothing in mid while missing soak in 1-2 lanes while the other team isn't. That is single most frustrating thing in the game to me currently. The other thing that I have concluded is that IMO heroes like Chromie who have terrible waveclear are much worse in QM than eg Gul'dan, Jaina, Kael'thas who while fulfilling a similar role on paper, have better wave clear and are much better because of it.

I was playing pretty late last night so maybe my sample size is too small. Just a jerk reaction. Won 3 of the 5 games I played so I'm feeling pretty good about it.

kaesarsosei posted:Haven't had any issues with QM queue times in the 6 weeks since I have been playing again (EU). Agree re: early fight in mid. If you have dudes needing stacks it's OK for about 20 seconds, but then you need to go soak. I just accept that I'll be soaking in QM regardless, even if healing. Sometimes someone will notice the healer is not with the group, but it's 50/50 whether someone will come down so I can go support the 3 man. This holds true regardless of comp, including TLV and/or Abathur on my team.

I find it helps that once you see the minions in the other lanes starting to get closer to meeting ping for assistance in those other lanes. It at least reminds people that those lanes exist

One thing I would like addressed in the game is the lack of a Chef Jimmy skin carrying around a shaker filled with pepper. I’m thinking about contacting the UN about this injustice.

I do think ping-spamming is justified sometimes but only when you have something legitimately urgent to convey. For example: The other team is stealing our camp and if one of you idiots in lane doesn't come help me we are going to be down a camp and a death.

New patch...*yawn* and upcoming sales!: https://heroesofthestorm.com/en-us/blog/22647957/heroic-deals-november-13-november-20-2018-2018-11-13/ Apparently they are both dynamic bundles, one being 70% off and the other 78%. So if you just need a handful of heroes it will be cheap. Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Nov 13, 2018 |

Dang that second bundle only has 4 heroes I want, and 3 I don't have but don't really want either. The first bundle has 3 heroes I don't have and am mildly interested in. Feels bad.

I find it kinda funny that they are releasing a new hero so soon before launching the hero role rework. I hope the delay in implementing the new roles is that they are still tweaking who will go where and that the Blizzcon list wasn't final, but I am not holding my breath.
