nothing like losing in a bad game, so we play one more, then dumpster the other team so hard on blackhearts that it almost felt as bad as the loss lol.
blackhearts is such a silly map. oh you have a 1 level lead? gg
Dreadnaught in his map guide from like ... 2+ years ago now called it "the least balanced map in the world" and "actually #ancer" and he was 100% correct and literally nothing about the map has changed since then.
I mean, it's not actually %ancer because $ancer is a horrible disease that kills people and destroys lives. This is a video game. A part of a video game that you think is less fun than other parts of the video game. So a few degrees of separation there
It's a quote, hence the quotation marks. &ancer is also a word for something perceived to be bad/evil/destructive/etc, especially something that spreads.
BHB remains a terrible map overall with one of the worst snowballs in the game as long as you play it correctly.
It's a quote that you say is 100% correct, and I'm saying that the degree to which we consider *ancer evil/bad/destructive is so far removed from this map in this video game being your least favorite that it shouldn't be used here.
It bothers me. Thanks
We've had this discussion before. You jumping all over other people's shit for using a word you don't like is @ancerous. I'm only being slightly facetious - I'm pretty sure if that word was used instead of #ancer than you wouldn't notice or would feel less open to criticize.
IIRC the last time we talked about this you couldn't justify banning the metaphor beyond "it feels bad". Which is not an inherent justification for literally attempting to ban speech.
If you have a problem then report and let a mod deal with it.

I just got the voice bug and restarted three times to no avail.
I'll play a game with it and try restarting again and see if it works.

How's Cain been the last day or so? Army Werk has been keeping me away from gaming this past week.
Based on streams, he seems fun. Initial comments are he's a solid healer with CC. But since the other two main healers with CC are Malf and Stukov and they are both basically OP, it may be hard for him to find a niche where you actually wasn't Cain over someone else.
initial thoughts I've heard, at least, and they may not be accurate
hnnnng another promotion game lost because even though i did 2x everyone'd damage and had 0 of our 18 deaths, my garrosh maiev and raganros just couldn't stop hard engaging into abathur clone and alexstraza ults. literally walk away they cannot stop you, then run at them, automatically win literally every fight. instead we're trying to beat double gul'dan clones behind varian/sonya while cleansing flame rains down on 3 of our team members. up 4 levels and lose because we never won a single fight post-10 no matter how hard i tried.
and i have a big enough negative personal rank adjustment now that i need to win 2 games in a row just to get to another promotion. they need to do something for people who's mmrs were just destroyed last season due to bugged placements, it's so incredibly tilting. 3-7 made me lose effectively 6000 ranked points.
I swear it is so hard to get people to understand what to do about the Aba clone.
Just walk away. Don't take the engage if you don't have to when the clone pops.

Yeah, it's weird that it apparently takes pro-level coordination to get a team to wait it out when the other team has burned long cooldown heroics. It doesn't feel like the sort of situation that is complicated enough that you should need everyone in voice chat to communicate the retreat to.
yea and then another loss up 3 levels because my team split itself into diablo 3 times when literally all we had to do was run it down mid, 1 keep with curse up up 20-17 with catas on core in 2 lanes and we got teamwiped because malfurion and chromie decided to run down the little stupid path to the bruiser camp and get instantly killed by diablo and then our entire team was dead.
hero league frustrates me so much that it physically hurts. If I tank, my team walks into shit, does terribl and dies, if I dps, my team can't stop engaging when they shouldn't, if I support, they just run off and suicide. I just can't do enough to save these people and it makes me want to throw my pc out the window. i wish i could play the hard carry climb heroes but i'm just very much not that sort of player atm.

I also think that a lot of time Just Walk Away is much easier said than done. Usually there is an exchange of alpha CC strikes. And just running would leave the poor tank in the front trying to run now slowed and down health. But this all depends on how well the enemy team can chase.
I had a game where I was forced to soak a lane as Li Li and kept asking in chat for people to “please stop fighting and soak”. They never stopped. We lost so hard.
I’m half tempted to start playing Garrosh just to throw my own teammates away from battle. Sure, I’ll have to body block them from going back in but it’s better than relying on retreat pings.

This is probably the most frustrating thing on Cain. You literally can't do shit but support teammates so you rely on them to make smart decisions about where they are going.
If nobody is soaking a lane you sure as fuck ain't gonna be able to soak it yourself.

True. But then mysteriously, when a tribute has spawned, people don't want to show up and fight.

No no, the pub rule is that the tribute timer is to tell them when to START going over there.
It's like "OK, I have 10 more seconds to 1v1 this Dehaka before I have to run accross the map."
It's like so many people have no idea what "positioning" is. Maybe every Heroes account needs to take a test on Sun Tzu's Art of War before they can play anything other than AI.
I still want to fight them! I just want to fight them in 8 seconds when all their ults are down and we can just delete them from the universe.
I understand when you get trapped by an arthas or whatever, those heroes do exist, but being "trapped" by heroes with no cc because you can't just click your own core is a mega frustrating reason to lose a game.
Blizzard should really revamp Training Mode to include custom "Challenges" that train players on hero specifics, map awareness, map specifics, tactics, and team coordination. You make lots of them and give out rewards for completing them (portraits, gold, loot crates, etc).
For example:
Scouting Ahead
"Oh no! You've been poisoned and you can't Hearthstone because your Core is down for repairs. Quickly find your way back to Deckard Cain who's brewing up an antidote.
But be careful, Abathur has sent an army of clones and placed a field of landmines to ambush you! Use your abilities to check into places you can't see."
In this mission, you play as Stitches with your health quickly depleting. The idea is that you'd use your Q/W to check bushes instead of face checking them.
These types of maps were really useful for teaching techniques in StarCraft 2. Since the engines are virtually identical, it would be neat for Blizzard to open map making to the community for this purpose.

it happens to me it seems every game, and i usually play a couple games, exit, then come back later.
I'll play a game with it and try restarting again and see if it works.
Then there's a bnet update that also came through today.
It's not happening now.
Try that.

playing jaina without tanks into butcher medivh is the 100% polar opposite of fun.
oh here lemme use my 15s cooldown oh it was erased by an 8 second cooldown on a mage that does more damage than me. rip.
The best part was when we caught 2-3 of them running away in a maw, and we blow all our aoe when they pop.
Nope. Protected and portal.
We still won that game handidly but ya, he's so annoying in the right hands.

not only were they in a maw, but stukov had a silence down and i dumped like 3000 instant damage on them!
what if instead it was zero damage.
