No Wave posted:It was always my favorite. Plus it looks amazing. Cool Towers of Doom Fact: Each of the six buildings are named areas like "the mill or "the graveyard" or "the mine" The bottom right one is the graveyard, it is full of gravestones and even a mausoleum. It also has a small hill. If you look at the hill while your hero is dead, there is a WoW Spirit Healer floating at the top of the hill. You can't see it while you are alive. Other map facts: Spider Queen has some Indiana Jones type guy appear in the top lane, he also appears at the core at match end??? Maybe he is a guy from WoW I don't know someone told me that On the punisher map, there are vases around the map you can break by casting damage skills towards them. Sometimes a glowing gold (Diablo unique) item will fall out. If that happens, a gold goblin will appear out of a portal near the core when the match ends. I know you can break the vases and I know sometimes a glowy item falls out and I know sometimes a gold goblin appears at the core when a match ends, maybe this is true? Have not tested.

Harrison Jones is wow-guy. There's a gem between blue's keep and town you can click on to summon him. He also appears on Sky Temple if you click the well beneath the boss enough times.

Another map fact: There's the sharks on blackhearts bay - if you click on them enough they fall into the water.

There's sharks in Sky Temple too! In the aqueducts above the top lane, every now and then a swimmer pops up and it is being chased then eaten by a shark.

There's fighting holograms on one of the Starcraft maps. There's an arcade in the top left of one of those maps. Click the right arcade cabinet a few times to see the holograms.

You do know that it's a free to play game, right? I was happy with the last patch, I gave them  for jewels I haven't even used.I think that means in the last year, I've given them ten dollars for about 50 hours of playtime. Not bad IMO

After the game, you can mouse over a username and it'll say if they're in a party or not. You used to be able to see who was in what party loading in, but apparently enough people were abandoning matches over it before the game even loaded that they removed that feature.

Love the logic, too. Hey, this ruins games so consistently that people are dropping before the game even starts, what shall we do? Hide it from them, it’s the kids who are wrong.

If you like the game, but don't like going up against premades, just do what I do and play vs AI. Laugh as you devastate AI foes, dunk on them as hard as possible with or without your friends. Feels good man

i once had an AI game where there was a leoric who just fed over and over on towers of doom. as a ktz, i rolled with it and urged him to keep going in undeath solidarity. just some good fun leoric and ktz RP with some rando. even with his like 20+ deaths the ai was no big deal. probably the best hots game ive ever played tbh Baba Yaga Fanboy posted:If you like the game, but don't like going up against premades, just do what I do and play vs AI.

5 stacks in QM should be exclusively matched into other 5 stacks. It’s just miserably unfair getting rolled over by a constructed comp with a random team. If you wanna play with a full team on comms play storm league.

The game doesn't have the playerbase to support that.

It really just depends. I have gone against some 5 stacks that try to do crazy fun things like throws to stitch who then get hooked, gorged, and teleported to the other teams core. I can laugh at stuff like that. I can also laugh at 5 stacks who are like 4 healers and Gazlowe. However, it is really frustrating when you go against a try hard 5 stack that hell even has some smurfs on it so you are stuck with a true newbie and they are just rolling you while bstepping and not ending. It seems to be about 50/50 on what you go against. I think the plus/minus 1 rule that they use to enforce I thought worked well. If you are a 5 stack you at least have to go against a 4 stack, etc... If you are a 5 stack you should be able to wait a bit more with your buds. Also, why in the world don't mobas have the waiting room where you could train like they do in fighters or overwatch. It would be crazy fun to just be put in a death match while waiting.

The group I regularly play with tries to drag out aram matches as long as possible and we’re super toxic. Of course we get wiped a lot and lose level 30 matches that we had in the bag for like 20 minutes. But eh that’s the price of a good time

You bastard. I got rolled to this for most of a game a few weeks ago. Medivh + Stitches + Garrosh combo doing mostly that.

The separating groups and individuals was one of the changes that killed SMNC (following up by splitting the queues further with a new game mode finished it off). You can only really fix (sort of) this problem with a larger playerbase and a lot of time spent on your matchmaking, and HOTS is absolutely not getting either of those things at this point.

I play exclusively in a 5-stack but we're very bad and argue amongst ourselves regularly so it's not much of an advantage. We recently threw a game because while doing objective we discovered the toy train mount multiple people thing and got carried away. We've tried storm league but we have a huge disparity in skill level in the team and just get completely wiped

Though iirc the "5 person teams get their own queue" wasn't that big a deal (probably sucked rear end if you had 4 friends to play the game with) but the subsequent "2 and 3 person teams have their own queue separate from solo queue" that just murdered anyone's chances of getting a game ever. Then yeah the fix being another shittier game mode (that you could join mid-game so there was no wait time) made playing the normal mode straight up impossible All of this ignoring the part where they turned the game into a bitcoin miner but that happened after the game was already essentially dead so it's really just a funny footnote

Latest patch finally gives Zagara real level 20 talents among some other changes. Pack Instinct looks good for focusing down heroes, Brood Mother better for more sustained damage. After taking the extended creep talent for so long it will be nice to have something with a more direct impact on the game.

How does that new Monk Talent work if you didn't pick Insight at level 1? Do you still get half the CDR on hit?
