we had 10 new posts in this thread and i thought the hero announcement happened
smdh y'all
Bruh, I'm just trying to get people to talk about HotS so the thread doesn't wither and die.
literally the thread dies every single time you stop posting. this is a true fact full stop. i can make all the dibby posts in the world and it'll get next to no traffic and then ducks comes in all like "talk about hots for me, peasants" and we get literally more activity in the thread in one day than in a full week
I'd like to start organizing nights and times when we can all try to log on and group up. I miss hanging out with people. Every time I log on, I might have a dozen friends playing: a few are together in a group over here; a few are together in a group over there; a couple are doing custom matches; maybe one or two are doing Brawls; then there's always like one dude going solo queue in Storm League. Motherfuckers, let's group up!
It's not my thing, man. I'm supportive of it, and I have a lot of friends who participate, but I'm not on board with everything I see out of that organization. Additionally, just frankly, I don't have that kind of time; Classic WoW has me raiding a lot, and with AQ40 to be announced relatively soon, it's only going to get more time-consuming. I'm hoping that we're able to clear MC/BWL so quickly by the time AQ40 comes out that we can finish them both on like a Thursday night, and focus Sunday/ Monday on progression in AQ40 until we're clearing that comfortably, too.
And then there's the podcast. I've actually had to sign out of BWL this Sunday (which I hate) because I'm needed in the studio that night for the first episode back after restrictions have lifted.
Unless my IRL friends are on, i always go "qm anyone?" in the heroes of the wang. Usually there is 0-3 people in it, and usually it's ignored.
Yeah, that channel is basically dead. I don't think i've seen more than 3 people in it in basically forever, and even if there are no one speaks in it. Granted I'm guilty of that myself too though.
Well it finally happened. I came across a teammate, who not only last picked Gazlowe with our existing comp, but also didn't soak or push a lane at all. I mean, sure, I was soak God (and Tass grabbed an empty lane when needed), but damn, I have never met a Gazlowe that just wanted to fight with the Tank/Healer in mid most of the time.
I honestly think the winning moment in the game came when my team and the enemy team were fighting for almost 2 minutes over the bot shrine Tower while I just soaked mid/top. Nobody on my team complained or pinged for help. Hell, they were probably too focused on fighting. After the enemy team claimed the tower, we were up 10-8.
OK Silver...

Sorry, Dibby. My internet went out a few minutes into that second match, and it still hasn't come back on.
No worries homie, your Mephisto AI was a champ
And by champ I mean he followed me like a confused puppy and literally wouldn't press buttons and only did auto attacks and tried to cast Consume Souls on Murky because Murky got low and then Bubbled immediately
HOO BOY THAT AI IS BADDDD
It's cool though honestly we were gonna lose that game regardless, our Varian fed like a motherfucker
I swear this is the single worst implementation of the HotS AI they've EVER had though. I swear to GOD. Even the previous jank-ass implementation was better than this!
I'd love to know what the fuck HAPPENED to make it turn out so god awful. I'd LOVE to fucking know. We went from bad to worse and it blows my fucking mind. After all that hyping up of the new AI systems and how they're "going to combo you to death" and the end result is they act like a confused puppy on a very short leash. I'm doing mercs and this FUCKING AI just stands there spinning in circles only occasionally tossing out autos!
I swear to god the AI implementation at the very beginning of this game's lifespan was BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE NOW. Remember like when there was the fuckin', the Elite AI or whatever? And they basically had fucking maphacks and godmode and shit and like PRECOGNITION insofar as landing and dodging skillshots? That AI was goddamn insane. And yet they were too afraid to actually put that in outside of VS AI games? Like oh noooo the Elite AI is too good oh nooooo it'd ruin gamessss oh noooo. Man who GIVES A SHIT yknow what else ruins games? People leaving the fucking game and insta-losing because every fight is an instant 5v4.
How the FUCK did it get so bad??? Literally reverting these most recent changes would be an improvement at this point.

I still don't understand why they bothered updating the AI at all...

What I mean is that the AI was fine for years, and then they decided to change it. That first update is what I am questioning, not everything that happened after that.

I miss the "good" AI. They'd gank you and steal the merc camp that you were clearing if you weren't careful, and they'd clear their own merc camps like clockwork. Granted that clockwork behavior made them predictable for a competent team, but most teams in both matches aren't super competent so it just made the fights more challenging overall on a macro level and players to pay attention to the merc camps since the bots were using them to good effect.
Also, the way that skillshots would roll off of them like water on oil made it really satisfying to land skill shots against them.
Eh, the AI would leave objectives and team fights to go hunt down the Rexxar doing a camp on the other side of the map without scouting him, so that part I don’t miss.

Well, yeah. They were never truly good. But they had the capacity to achieve hivemind state and dunk on someone every now and then. I enjoyed watching that happen. Nowadays the AI like to pick a point on the map and oscillate back and forth around it.
I think the teaser's meant to bait folks into thinking Frostfire Ridge (Durotan, perhaps, although I really don't want another pet hero like Rexxar), but it could also easily be Alterac, or even Mount Hyjal.
It's actually Jainas snowman who has gained sentience. He can only be played with Jaina, kinda Cho gall situation, but it's 2 seperate characters. The Snowman abities only work within a leash range of Jaina and Jaina gets a buff when he's in range.

My bad, I actually said the wrong map; meant Garden of Terror.
He’s going to make the exact. Same. Joke.

Because it was really really fucking bad before, that's why
They just managed to botch it beyond belief and make it even worse

Yeah, but her kit in Overwatch is pretty much literally just Jaina.
Like, her primary fire is Jaina's E. Her RMB is Jaina's Q. Her E is ice block. Her ult is Ring of Frost.
