Gobbeldygook posted:Yes it is. Jaina's first three talent picks - quest on 1, frostbolt pierce on 4, frostbolt cooldown on 7 - are pretty set in stone in most situations. I know it's not the prevailing wisdom, but I've got a 60%+ WR with Jaina, using this build almost exclusively. No mana problems, I usually don't die more than a couple of times even without a support or tank, and I'm almost always top takedowns and/or damage. It doesn't work if you're not super careful with positioning and good at landing her combo every time, and the positioning is further rewarded with Icefury Wand letting you get blizzard back up faster in teamfights. I'm not saying that it's a better build, or even necessarily a good build, but it works very well for me. That's one of the things that I think has always been in Jaina's favor - her kit has always been at least a little versatile for different playstyles because of all of the baked in CC.

I can't even handle Rexxar, let alone microing more models than that. I don't know how people manage it, but I respect the hell out of it.

Like, how can you trust a word these people say. especially since they told the orgs that they weren't cancelling HGC then told them all by email not long after that they were all canned

Dilkington posted:Like a few others have expressed- I'm not bothered by the end of competitive HOTS (and by extension, HOTS) because I felt the game has been moving in the wrong direction for a long time. Previously I played Diamond/Master and followed the meta- now I'm only logging in to one-trick Hammer or Kale. I do feel really, really bad for all of the players who had hung their hats on the game though. People with new apartment leases with the ink still wet that moved because of HGC, to find out with zero notice that they were unemployed. The Crucible winners who worked hard for a year, did something to be proud of, and were left in the wind. Streamers who built their livelihood on it will have no growth potential, because interest in competitive play is what sends people to youtube and streams. HotS stopped being fun for me a long time ago, but there's a community that grew which is getting the short, sharp end of a very mean stick here.

Elysium posted:All I know is as soon as they rolled back the QM changes my win rate went up to like 75%. I cleared 5 straight board game quests in 5 games because I MVPed all of them. Did they keep the changes to structure EXP and only roll back the matchmaking changes? I thought the intent of the EXP changes was to "stop" snowball poo poo stomp games. What's the point if the lovely matchmaking still makes that happen, just over 25 minutes instead of 12?

Kith posted:i just made a big effortpost bitching about this very thing, plus general "hey blizzard how's about we actually make the game welcoming for newbies" The inability to spend money directly on what I want is a big thing for me. Before gems I bought basically any hero that struck my fancy directly. After gems I think the only time I spent cash on gems was for stimpacks, and I only owned a little over half of the roster.

No Wave posted:are they funny like kephrii's or just gross? It doesn't seem to be like, dick pics or whatever. 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.

appropriatemetaphor posted:So just typical nerd dude stuff. Basically and sadly, yes. 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.

I decided to try playing this game again because there's something wrong with my brain, and in a dozen games every single one of them ended with one team up by 3 levels and all of their buildings up. In ranked and QM. Is that the new normal for post HGC HotS?

I stopped playing because the match quality dropped through the floor when everyone who has fun by trying hard and being competitive left. I guess I hoped some of them might have come back, but that does not seem to be the case. Oh well!

I'm glad this game is only a 15 gb install. I reinstall when a season starts, realize nothing has changed and the people who play this in ranked are loving retarded still and uninstall. You'd think I would have stopped bothering by now but nope.

If the only way to find players in ranked who can breathe without swallowing their own tongues is to dredge them up from a discord server and curate my own group of players, it's a trash game with bad players.

I'm trying to think of an upside to the EXP globe thing. I guess since you have to get within AA range of an enemy inside of their minion wave to absorb the EXP from killing that wave you'll have more brawling in lane? If you manage to kill your lane opponent and no one rotates to replace them they likely won't make it back in time to get the EXP from that wave, but it's already like that so there's nothing new tactically from that. All I can really come up with is that by making picking up EXP a thing that requires active engagement you might actually get some of the morons in QM to soak some loving EXP finally.

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.

I have to admit I am cautiously optimistic about Microsoft maybe sending some development dollars back to HotS. It's the only MOBA I've ever actually enjoyed playing.
