That includes vs AI tho... 79% PvP would be so weird given what we know about matchmaking.

You're right, about 100 of those games are vs AI, so that probably skews the numbers a bit. Regardless, it's safe to say I know what I'm talking about when it comes to Tychus, and the dude saying he's the easiest/most braindead Right Click character to play is outright loving wrong.

Chromie is finally on sale next week. Auriel is also on sale. EDIT: Also the game used to give you quests according to which heroes you played more - ie, if you only played Valla the only quests you'd get would be play assassin, play diablo, win 3, and play 8 - but since the OW quest was added it's possible that's been removed and you now draw all quests equally. I got my first support quest in ages despite playing zero supports in the last hundred+ games. This would actually be a real nuisance as it would mean 130 less gold a day on average. Idk hard to conclude with this sample size I guess. No Wave fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Also possible that that system still exists but it's been 'reset' for the addition of the new quest. If you keep not playing supports it might go back to not offering you support quests. It seems like a pretty good system so it would be a shame if they'd up and removed it entirely.

I got probably my favorite HOTS moment of all time when as Azmodan by Orb of Destruction didn't quite finish off Baby D.Va...but the demon warrior that spawned from it hacked her to death while she got bodyblocked. It was beautiful.

The idea of these quests in most games is to get people to leave their comfort zone. Thing is it's pretty normal to main a role in mobas so that might be why they altered the quest pool to give quests that apply to you. But it only really applies to QM anyways so idk. Maybe they thought people got more excited to play when they got a quest that was relevant to them. EDIT: Also brawl is fun (it's basically your average QM game). Li Ming seemed really good, just beware the pyroblast.

Human psychology dictated that people felt pressured to do the quests as they came, which is fine if they were random. But people would get "Do a StarCraft/Support", for example, and they would Morales for 3 games. And then the system would detect that they liked Morales, so it would give them more StarCraft/Support quests. So, they'd Morales up, to clear the queue. And the system would be all "Man you sure LOVE Morales. Here, have infinite StarCraft/Support quests". Which is ok, I guess, of you actually LOVE Morales, but if you just want to Murky all day, you sit with a queue full of incomplete quests nagging at you, and people REALLY hate that. Apparently, it never occurred to Blizzard this could cause a negative feedback loop. This is an actual thing they admitted, and listed as their reasoning behind removing the weighted quest system, btw. It's fact, not opinion.

Nothing beats the heroin high of cancelling an ult with a basic ability  I wish they had a map editor with "use map settings" so we could set up training grounds. No cooldowns Li-Ming disjointing a barrage of spells for as long as possible would be amazing. I would also benefit greatly from a Cleanse training ground, so I can get gud at my reaction times.

I never had that negative feedback loop issue myself but I can see how it could be a problem for people. That's fair enough I guess, guess I'll just go back to ignoring quests for weeks at a time.

Ignoring 200 gold quests is actually optimal in terms of maximizing gold so you're good.

the other day I saw the funniest thing in all of my HOTS career. map: cursed hollow tribute was up, there was a huge team fight — everybody gets wiped out except the enemy's Artanis and our Abathur. Artanis' healthbar was hanging by a thread and his shield was on CD. He went for the tribute.. Abathur goes ahead and mules the tribute (or a toxic nest, not sure), hats the mule and kills the Artanis. I didn't know that was actually possible, lol.

I'm sorry, "safest". You're still wrong. There are several "right click" characters who are significantly safer than Tychus (most notably Tassadar and Raynor due to their increased range and kit advantages). Tychus has way too many drawbacks to be considered "safe", not least of which being his attack range or the fact that they violently hosed his sustain into a near-useless state. He can still get up to some mischief if played properly, but he is by no means "safe". He's a very risky choice even in an optimal setting because Blizzard nerfed him so badly.

They're hilarious but so many of them are so low effort it's really funny. Like existing skins with a hat or a sheet thrown over them. Very lol. The horse with the pumpkin sheet will be the number one craft of the event.
