McTimmy posted:Getting the final hit always gave EXP, just outside of rare exceptions people weren't gonna notice it. Abathur could have theoretically soaked three lanes using mines. It hasn't since the experience globe addition. I've definitely cleared a wave with Jaina and gained no experience until the globes drifted over and were picked up.

No Wave posted:Today, last hitting was added to HotS. ha ha ha ha ha. I mean, you're technically correct but it's not last hitting in the other-mobas way that sucks in the least. If you fail to get the last hit, you don't LOSE anything unless you don't grab the xp globes after. You can't last hit your own poo poo to deny the enemy it. Your last hits don't steal from your teammates. Mind over Matter fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Dec 17, 2019 |

You just mess with other people on his team. Really that's it. Tanks just can't really influence him at all which is why he was a dumb loving idea to add to this game. Oh and the full health self-resurrect they gave Auriel. Also really dumb.

I'd only agree in the sense that it's a near dead game with a skeleton crew of devs so they COULD take crazy risks like that. But they tried to be clever with exp globes and had to immediately fix it because their instincts are rear end.

They're going to remain a fundamentally broken concept unless they get a lot more exceptions. In no particular order, XP Globes:
Basically the original system was perfectly fine as it was and there was no actual reason to gently caress it up like this

The globes aren’t even permanent though, they’re just temporarily shaking poo poo up with there nexus anomalies. And I’ve liked and/or not really noticed the gloves anyway. But have been playing a lot of Sonya/ greyman

I don’t know if wasting their resources on temporary rule sets like this is a good use of time for a skeleton crew or not but boy howdy am I looking forward to them getting rid of it.

appropriatemetaphor posted:The globes aren’t even permanent though, they’re just temporarily shaking poo poo up with there nexus anomalies. They've stated that Nexus Anomalies will be permanent if they're popular enough. That's the point of them - they're to try out major gameplay changes that can be undone quickly in the event of them being unpopular. Assuming that they were being honest, anyways.

Xp globes would've been pretty cool to see a moba designed around from day 1 but shoving the system into an already existing moba that already had the best xp system around wasnt a very good idea

I've been on an Abathur kick the past couple of days for the first time in a year or more. Mostly just doing Abathur things, but enjoy this clip of me forgetting there was a Deathwing on the other team. https://gfycat.com/nervousscarediberiannase

how common are Deathwings since the nerf? In the last few nights of quickplay, I think I only saw Deathwing once, and it was on my team.

According to Heroes Profile, he has a 90% ban rate in Storm League and a 55% play rate in QM. So still fairly popular, but not completely saturated.

I had a guy walk into the mass of enemies outside our walls on ARAM (while we were way behind). As Raynor. He was saying he did it to make a diversion and that he couldn't believe we didn't make more use of it. He then pouted in spawn, repeating "I'm done" while the rest of the team called him various shades of tiny crybaby. Much dunking was had. I'd say it was more enjoyable than a win. Reminds me of the time I played Overwatch and my team successfully came together and used the "repeatedly claim person has diarrhea"-tactic on a sabotaging, boastful gently caress on the enemy team. He eventually left. It's funny how scattered, disheartened teams can suddenly pull together when given the right task.

I haven't seen Dehaka in games since Vietnam. He's one of those dead heroes they haven't touched in a while. That or they've just released too many counters/patched everyone else to be better. Like Ana for instance is super popular and just makes him worthless.

Dehaka is one of the strongest solo laners/bruisers in the game right now as long as the enemy team doesn't have Healing Reduction.

Having come back recently, and working on trying to get enough gold for Death Wing, I feel like I have seen Dehaka in a lot of games. Of course I only play vs AI games because I don't like playing against real people.

I'd be interested in seeing numbers for this because honestly I don't see him in ranked or QM ever. Then again, most Hots players ignore macro so maybe that's why no one plays him.

I see déhaka all the time in qm so I dunno. His tongue zip zoom out of a Bush is still good. Also tried old death wing have 100% winrate in qm so far, he seems buff actually. Haven’t run up against Grey man though.

Greymane is still the most busted assassin and I don't know how they manage to not fix that for like the entirety of his existence. I'm glad he existed just to keep Deathwing in check though.

Greymane is harder to play than some others, so I think the high skill ceiling keeps him and others like Alarak from getting nerfed(again).

He's harder than some heroes yes, but that's not really saying much. To say his skill floor is "high" though is just not true. It's just blizzard balancing and nothing more.

Greymane has always overperformed. The nature of his design practically makes it a guarantee.

He was buffed in July because he wasn't seeing play despite being a fun design.
