I got 3 legendaries in my free chests. One of then was the rad Arthas skin that turns him into an Pandaria style dude and makes all of his abilities jade instead of ice. Another one was the legendary horse that matches his outfit. This is exciting to me because I play Arthas a lot!

I like BHB because there's a tension between holding coins or risking turning them in and getting them stolen from you. Really the only map I think is total garbage atm is Garden. And it's easily something they could rework to be fine.

I played a lot of Nova in beta, and back then her deal was she could absolutely devastate individuals, but the tradeoff was that she had no laning ability and no ability to hold objectives. Did this change, because I constantly see pubby Novas trying to do both of those things.

I think a lot of the stealth chat is hyperbolic as hell, but i didn't realize the graphical settings can make the shimmer not appear, That IS a problem.

Hot Smart ARYAN Girl posted:Yeah they're garbage characters who make the game more annoying, and telling people what game types they should play or to play heroes they don't find enjoyable is not cool. It's a video game, it's supposed to be fun. Nova is garbage now, and Zeratul and Valeera are both under a 50 percent win rate. Like... I'm not trying to be a dick, but if there's a Zeratul or Valeera on the opposing team, you should be aware and play accordingly just as though there were any other flanking character

Orange Crush Rush posted:I just don't understand how people think they can trick others into thinking "spend the entire match looking for the hard to find shimmer" is fun and rewarding gameplay for everyone involved. I just don't understand how people think they can trick others into thinking "spend the entire match looking for <Genji/Tracer/Dehaka/Falstad> is fun and rewarding gameplay for all involved." Flanking is literally part of the game. If you're Jaina and you're at the enemy gate alone, and you know there's a stealther or ANY of those characters on the enemy team, you are misplaying if your eyes are not peeled.

Genji is definitely in every QM game right now, just like Tracer was in every QM game at OW launch when she came out. I honestly don't see Zeratul very often.

Hot Smart ARYAN Girl posted:In my opinion it would have been easier and better to just not include it at all. It's impossible to go back in time and see if less people would be playing the game without stealth characters. It IS possible to see the amount of complaints about them and the adjustments Blizzard has made to deal with that. You could say this about literally any mechanic

quote:Developer Comments: We feel that Valeera needs a small increase in power to help her overall win rate, but are hoping to do so without adding much more burst damage or disabling effects. The changes to her Health and Basic Attack damage should give her a boost, while the changes to Talents, Ambush, and Garrote should create harder decision making for the Rogue. While we were looking at her Health Regeneration, we noticed that it was actually higher than intended (most Heroes take 480 seconds to regenerate their entire Health pool), which is why we reduced it slightly. We’ve increased the duration on Cloak of Shadows so that predicting Abilities is easier to accomplish. We want it to be a rewarding, high skill-cap ability, but with the old tuning it struggled to compete with Smoke Bomb. I'm not seeing where the devs are saying Stealth was the problem with Valeera. It's the CC and burst

Hot Smart ARYAN Girl posted:Not really, because not every mechanic is so controversial. You should have been around for Abuthur launch. Stealth has been around since Alpha. The only time people generally complain about it is when one hero that happens to have stealth is OP. It was Valeera this time. Zeratul and Nova are fine now.

Hot Smart ARYAN Girl posted:Well, at least someone gets it. I get it, it's just a nonsense argument. TONS of heroes are hated and "make QM annoying." There is nothing special about stealth heroes that makes them "more annoying." They are functionally identical to any ganker that is playing well. quote:I'm not going to try to talk about perception of fairness and avoiding controversy when the only response is irrelevant false equivalencies and "u mad bros" EVERYTHING is "unfair" to someone. Why isn't the character select screen just Raynor? That would be the MOST fair.

If we want to talk about new player perception, I see a ton of bitching about Morales in QM. That beam that is just constantly healing looks obnoxious to newbies.

Just played the damnedest HL match on Hanamura. Dude picks Azmodan and tells us he's going to push all game and that Azmo has a 69% win rate on the map. He proceeds to get farmed the entire game while destroying their bottom row of forts between 10 deaths. The game ends in our victory like 11 minutes and change in, with us down 2 levels pretty much the whole game.

Orthodox Rabbit posted:I've seen Xul's who push really hard consistently perform pretty well on that map. It seems really easy for him to quickly push down forts and get the extra core damage. Any specialist that can push hard dominates that map. People don't seem to understand that each fort taken is 1 fewer payload that needs to be pushed, which is huge. I've actually won multiple games where a sieger pretty much fed all game but still took forts and we'd win with a 2 level disadvantage. It's really a poorly designed map

I not only hate the idea of a veto, I also hate the idea of a map rotation at all. The thing that differentiates HotS from other MOBAs is the battlegrounds. That's the tactical tradeoff for not worrying about item builds or separate xp levels.

How's playing with goons attitude-wise? I'm a lovely silver player and it's really really annoying listening to people throw giant fits at the first setback in every game. Would I learn something from goons or just get more annoyed?
