So they did a very good job of making HOTS genji just like Overwatch genji.

The first genji I played with last night went way too far forward, died, and then spammed "GG" and "no heals" in chat. Genji is truly like his Overwatch self.


(then me and my two goon friends carried him and he got MVP. RIP.)

Hi, I'm stuck in Plat 1 hell after nearly getting master. I can't seem to win any games no matter how hard I try. Players who are diamond, how did you break through?

I don't want to play Braxxis Holdout anymore Blizz

:same:

I actually liked Hanamura a lot. It's a really crazy map with a completely different flow of action than most maps.

I hate Braxis so much. It's such a horrible map.

HOTS seriously needs a tutorial about moving and a team and learning to count. Would make the player base so much better :v:

I really like Hanamura for disrupting the normal flow of a game. It rewards good communication and resource allocation. I'm really interested to see if a pro game goes on it (I haven't seen one yet). HOTS is at its best (imo) when Blizzard is really changing core assumptions.

I will agree it could use a little bit of streamlining. There's a lot going on in the map and cutting a few things might help it.

Snipe Master stacks no longer lost from hitting non-heroes. Interesting.

As someone who unapologetically goes full snipe nova build this makes me so happy :v:

It's worth noting that D.VA's mech gives half XP if killed. Can't wait for pubbie DVA players to not realize this and feed relentlessly thinking it gives no XP :v:

Also Illidan got a slight buff. Makes me pleased :toot:

Valeera: "Huh. Well, I suppose four out of five will have to do."

D.VA: "Oh great. Looks like we've got a carry."

Stealing a couple ideas from LoL:

Reverse Rexxar: Rexxar wears a bear suit and Misha wears a tie and suit jacket (you could do Rexxar's garb, though I think it'd be funnier if it was full cover)

Definitely not Ragnaros: Ragnaros, but with the classic fake nose and glasses and a barrel around him.

Every time you die, spam pings on the nearest friendly hero (even if they are a lane over)

Especially if they are a lane over. Excuse me, what could possibly be so important that you are not fighting the enemy bad guys with me, the carry, right now!!!!!


Also I am a triple-pinger if I think something is super important to tell my team. I also try to be nice and ping "I'm coming pings" too, so I'm probably like a 6 or 7 on a scale of 10 of ping monsters.

I appreciate triple pings as well from my team, since I sometimes miss it.

Why did they even get rid of the sappers? Was just laning and ignoring the objectives that much of a problem? What's the point of the bases now?

Yeah, the sapper removal was weird. It was a cool alternate condition for winning if you had fallen far behind. Now there's even less of a reason to push bases unless you're super stomping. The payload experience change was really good though.

I was one of the folks who thought the games were a tad too short (they all almost ended by like level 16-17) - 9-10 health would've been my guess for what a better amount is.

I really like the map because it does change around how the game works fairly significantly, but I don't think Blizzard really knows what to do with the map.

I hate BHB with a passion. Same with Braxis, but I feel like my experience with Braxis is based more off bad games than the map itself.

I haven't won in two weeks either and I'm pretty sure I've won a game most days =(

Any tips on how to play Rehgar? I'm trying to brush up on my other supports since Malf got a bit nerfed. I just feel so utterly useless as him though- I can't heal fast enough with my Q, my R is effective sometimes but unlike Malf it doesn't feel like I can make the sick plays to change a game, so my team just flails around dying. How do I play him so he makes a difference?

All of the stealth heroes have the same size shimmer in stealth. Also Valeera can't really burst you from 100-0. Also how is your team getting destroyed 5v4 before Valeera shows up. What would you do differently if like Greymane flanked and jumped on you?

she can if you're pilot d.va :smith:

team liquid is obliterating tempo storm, EU > NA rip NA

is double support still the ideal meta? It looks insanely strong based on this two game sample.
