Whew People seem to get SUPER upset if you don't follow whatever dumb comp they think is the best. I've actually played on and off since Alpha and I've never seen the playerbase so toxic and lovely.

Mind over Matter posted:Sort of related to this, I find myself tilting or getting grumpy way way more when I'm playing with friends or acquaintances, including people in goonchat. Not because they're inherently worse or anything. Some are, some are better than me, some are about the same. But for some stupid reason it's a lot harder for me to shake off a loss and get back in there with a preform of people I will see outside of the match. It's because in a pubbie environment it's dipshits you'll never see again so your annoyance disappates as soon as the match ends. With people you know, the losing will continue in the future

I was in a QM game with two goons and 2 pubbies last night where one goon and one pubbie were losing their minds at how "OP" DVa was. Am I missing something? I was actually playing her and she seemed super medicore. Edit: like I'd literally rather play Chen for a tank

bamhand posted:When in doubt split soaking is the correct answer IF your teammates understand that they need to avoid fighting/dying. In general people don't understand safe soaking very well. All you need to do is stand near minions while they die. You don't need to actively kill them or attack your opponent. You can just sit in a bush and wait. In fact it's often detrimental to kill minions yourself because it pushes the wave closer to the enemy fort and forces you to get further and further out of position to soak. The game is really really bad at explaining the concept of XP soak, or rather the idea that you want people soaking everywhere they can. You can see if in QM all day erry day as there will be low level teamfights with a level deficit, or people grabbing merc camps on an XP deficit. Edit: Also I think a lot of people overvalue merc camps, or at least don't understand when/why you want them.

My favorite is 3 lanes pushed in, enemy team dead, and everyone goes for mercs, like push and win instead?

Also, everyone is laning pre-10, so they'll just kill the mercs and they won't accomplish anythingexquisite tea posted:It's hard to develop hard and fast rules for anything in HotS because so much of the game is situational, and statements like never merc before 10 are helpful in most cases except for when they're not. It's more useful to get in the habit of frequently looking at your minimap, seeing what's going on, and quickly determine what you should be doing next based on what objectives are up and what members of the team are alive/dead. This is true, but if you need to condense it for a new player, I'd say that more often than not, laning is the proper choice pre-10 over getting mercs. I would not expect a new player to understand the rare circumstance where that isn't true.

I've deliberately stayed out of the mek longer than I needed to, because the team needed more damage at that moment. That being said I've never thought "gee I wish I was out of the mek now" because I'm generally in spots where that'd be an instadeath without it

I'd almost prefer it if you got a Brawl styled window for each pick that flat told you what role you were playing in HL because too many people believe things like "last pick gets highest priority in what they want to play" that eliminating the loving guesswork of who will suck it up and play a role might be good. And this is coming from a dude that almost always plays warriors or support Gustav posted:Yes. Also 3, 4 and 5. This is stupid. If you get to pick 5 and you had Nova instalocked but we need a healer you're a loving rear end in a top hat if you pick Nova.

Gustav posted:Fine, but if you picked an assassin yourself you don't get to complain about it. You knew there was a good chance that could happen, you presumably asked him if he would flex and he either said no or didn't answer, and you took your shot anyway because you really really wanted to play assassin and figured he had to choice buy to switch. Good for you. Now you get to suck it up and deal with it, not be a stereotypical toxic rear end in a top hat whining about other people's picks. LOL the fifth pick instalocking Nova would be the toxic rear end in a top hat in this scenario. Like I might agree with you if QM didn't exist, a format where that player could play Nova in EVERY GAME Hail Mr. Satan! fucked around with this message at 16:15 on May 24, 2017 |

I gave it a first pick illidan, and its next 2 picks were zarya and malf, and I don't think double manaless into malf is a great plan (also, it finished with Greymane and Probius, so your protect-the Illidan comp isn't great and you have dick for hard cc).

Also it's probably not true but Chen feels like he has the fattest rear end in the game, so he can block escapes like a champ with his kick

I don't think it's that he is really the fattest, but the kick puts him on the opposite side, so it makes blocking enemies really really easy.

No one was arguing that it's against the rules. They were arguing that it's a dick move. Because it is. You're loving over your team so you can play your special snowflake hero instead of sucking up the occasional last pick, which won't even always be a role you don't want anyway
