Moola posted:I don't know if I can be bothered to reinstall to see myself Dude, it sucked and I was unhappy too. Especially since I bought a discounted year boost just a little before the announcement. I can only say, I still get in games pretty fast and enjoy dunking on fools with Azmodan. That is a question within yourself, that only you can answer. However, the game is not dead in the sense that you can't get into games. Average q time is like 20 seconds at a guess.

Just a lot of the Nice Guy "sexualizing women with whom I have a platonic relationship and telling them how hot they are when I'm drunk" move. It's gross and creepy. A lot of Twitter seems to care more that he has a girlfriend than that he ignores the contextual boundaries of his relationships with women that he's friends with, which is disappointing but not surprising.

Still inappropriate but outside of one line about her butt out of no where, nothing extreme. Just a dumb patreon joke and an awkward midnight outpouring of affection. Seems like there might be a lot more to the story than those screen caps though.

i'm guessing he did not understand just how much this was a business relationship but I guess you have to assume that as the larger streamer.

I don't want to use equivocating language to describe it because any time you make a person feel uncomfortable with unwanted advances you've done something gross and bad. But not understanding the difference between a woman being a friend or peer and a woman who is interested in more physical or emotional intimacy is pretty par for the course for the demographic.

What is the point of these mana changes? Seems like this just makes the game worst... all the new heroes have no mana issues anyways and it seems like they increased mana on the old heroes who are already way more resource strapped. Makes zero sense to me. Can anyone else explain?

In the same patch, one of the newer heroes, Hanzo, had his mana costs increased on the two abilities that he uses the most. The patch overall is made up of small, but very good, steps. The benefits are not going to be immediately noticeable, but they're important.

I mean, I don't play Li-Ming but the commentary on Reddit at least is that Aether Walker is an undertuned, underpicked talent and that even this buff may not make it competitive with her actual mana from globes talent at 1. So I don't think the goal in this case was "make Li-Ming mana free."

They should give her a whole new set of lvl 1 talents really. They are kinda boring.

Mana management is really important as Li-Ming actually. Basically all her power comes from her abilities so being out of mana means she is useless. It's also very easy to run her out of mana if you spam her abilities. A big part of playing her well is keeping a good mana reserve for an opportune moment. Diving on a weakened opponent and securing the kill gives you the resets to try and dive another but without enough mana you're gonna fall flat. The double globe mana talent is still outrageously good and Force Armor is a decent niche pick vs the right team but Aether Walker has always struggled to be competitive. This change might actually make it pretty good. I have died a lot of times as Ming because I ran out of mana at the wrong time where even just one more Calamity-Teleport would be enough to finish a kill. I do agree that all her level 1s other than Aether are a bit boring.

Yeah I know most people here say "ew yuck AI" but as a chill time waster thats about all I do. It was getting frustrating during immortals though. The whole group would bunch of and invariably one or two people would try pick someone off and get completely evaporated in a second. The rest of the team sighs and just gets camps and wins the game unopposed.

It is possible to lose against AI, happened once or twice. Those can actually be fun games, because it's like you are playing 4 or 3 against 5 AI. It becomes a real struggle. But yeah I play against AI when I just wanna keep up with quests and not deal with any emotional suffering from bad teammates. I played like 3 games recently as Stitches where is was top in hero damage, and yes there were assassins on the team.

Li Ming is extremely mana hungry if you're not careful. Her Level 1 talents are designed to make it tolerable, but how that's accomplished is really up to the player. That said, Aether Walker has needed the buffs pretty badly. It's just not good enough compared to the other talents at that tier, and its pickrate (almost 0) reflects that.

The devs should have toned down Malfurion's mana consumption - at least in the early game.

Was that Uther change anything at all? And isn't Valla also mana hungry? I feel like those two have been notoriously mana hungry for ages and they got nothing in the big mana patch...

Hungering arrow with the 1 talent is one of the most spammable abilities in the game I don't think Valla should get to multishot and roll on cooldown either. Uther has tons of utility so he has weird healing. The point of the mana changes wasnt to make pressing Q W and E correct more often.

I feel like Valla is the assassin equivalent of Li Li. Low skill ceiling, people assume that means they are mediocre across the board. They are simple to understand, and easy to master. But just because they are easy to play very well doesn't mean they are sub-optimal. A pretty good Valla is one of the best QM teamates I could hope for. They do almost everything right, with very good wave clear, ganking, objective control, pushing won objective, defending lost objective, juking important enemy skillshots. She is pretty good at a number of things but it's very easy for the average player to do all of those near perfect. My favorite build is full autoattack, for lane ganking. Early game, a bad gank means the enemy hides behind towers or has to hearth and walk back. At best, they lose the lane and miss an objective. Late game, anyone caught out of position by you is dead. She's almost as good at it as stealth heroes, but far easier to play and has a wider range of ability when map objectives are up. edit: I recently finally got a feel for Nova, once I had a couple good games it all just clicked and I was able to play her very well, even in the 1-lane brawl maps each week. I had not enjoyed any of the stealth heroes before the overhaul, but after getting the hang of Nova I can do pretty drat well with Zeratul and Valeera. Zeratul is a late-game carry harder than almost any other hero (Jimmy with farmed pepper shots?), Valeera is crippled by anti-stealth talents but really shines if given the chance. I grumbled at the stealth changes a lot when it was new but nustealth is totally cool with me now. WITCHCRAFT fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Apr 19, 2019 |
