Kind of jealous of Dota 2 announcers to be honest. Hots announcers have around 5 minutes of audio, while Dota 2 averages 45 minutes per announcer.

If there is one thing I'd love to bring over from my DOTA2 inventory it's the Stanley Parable Announcer Pack. They really gave him some wonderful lines and I miss his soothing voice.

Compared to that the mixed sounds of the selected announcer and the map announcers in HOTS feel really primitive. For me very few of the announcers have a... personality? I'd love to hear more quips, silly lines or even bad jokes during the game from the announcers. :shobon:

Well that's disappointing. If this is what it's supposed to sound like I don't even feel it deserves the altered voice-over tag.

Two years ago when they added the Orc Sgt. Hammer reskin they gave her a altered voiceover - pitched her voice down and called it a day. The voice sounded terrible and was removed from the skin after a few months.

Compared to that mess, I'm happy when they go easy with the voice alteration on skins! :shobon:

Are they really not doing a spotlight video

I'm assuming it'll drop when the hero is released live to drum up more interest, rather than the PTR-release this week.

I hate the map, I have no idea why it's been in the QM pool for so long after being removed from the ranked ladder for like, what, 4 years?

I agree wholeheartedly with this. It's an awkward map to play since the best way to play it is to not risk losing coins - that's boring!
I'd be ecstatic if they swapped out Blackhearts Bay to Haunted Mines in QM; it was also "bad", but at least it's a different kind of bad.

Speaking of old maps, I wonder if they'll ever re-introduce that old Hanamura Boss mob.

I haven’t played this game in years but why the gently caress did they disable Leoric?

According to Blizzard in 2020 (Augh);

quote:

Both The Lost Vikings and Leoric are flooding our RISK team with intentional feeding false positives. To keep ARAM as healthy as possible we are temporarily removing them from the mode.

Glad to see a patch!
