    I've noticed a significant drop-off in my own mechanical skill over the past year. I'm sure much of it is due to age (and a bit due to fatigue as well). Like, there are times where I see in my mind's eye what is happening and I know what I should be doing and yet I either mess up or am simply too slow to do it in time. And those moments come more and more often.

    i've noticed my own shit-ass reaction time as well but i think that's just age

    ugh

    i can't interrupt those short fucking cast times to save my life

    My best guess is that sleeping 4 hrs a day during the week isn't helping my pre-existing poor micro skills.

    I think the one thing I'd like to get better at is counting cooldowns. It must massively help during fights but I have no idea how you do it, as well as all the other things you need to do, all at once.

    Sleeping 4 hours a day is a great way to "not help" basically everything you do :P

    Yeah counting cooldowns is big in some abilities like Muradin's escape, Jo's trait, etc., where you know they will be vulnerable for X period of time.



    You don't have to count the exact time to the second, though.

    It's more than enough to have a general idea. "OK Tyrande's stun is down for 8 secs" or "Mura's jump is down for 12 secs"
    (note I'm not sure if those are the exact times but you get the gist)

    Hey, speaking of all the AI games being run for board game quests, is there some sort of reduced map roster for AI games in effect? I feel like there are maps I haven't seen in AI games for, like, weeks. I completely forgot that Hanamura was a map until someone mentioned it here the other day because I don't think I've seen it since the event started. It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen Braxis or Shrines as well.

    Oh, Hanamura is definitely still a map.

    Oh Ducks, you only dislike Hanamura because you can't stealth cheese enemy camps at the :60 mark. :)

    I generally dislike most two-lane maps because they're playgrounds for heroes like Medivh and KTZ. But, yes; not being able to solo the Sentinel camp at 60 seconds burns my ass because it means I have to rely on my teammates to do their jobs, which is historically a futile effort.

  • General_ArmchairGeneral_Armchair Registered User regular
    I hate hanamura because the objective is so pathetic and I hate how everyone gets so worked up about fighting over it.

    Picked up Imperius today because I had enough crystal thingies...he's pretty fun. Especially on Blackheart's Bay. His E just demolishes those Treasure Boxes in an instant..and with all the grouped up teamfights around the turn in...

    Fun character.

    boggles my fuckin mind why they have yet to nerf the samurai camp yet

    yeah let's just put two cappable bosses on the map with relatively low respawn time and honestly not that hard to take

    not paying attention? yeah it'll just push all the way up to keep nbd

    Fun character.

    His mana bar is just so bad - got in one game and he is fun but like - they don't want you to ever actually have fun with him. Wondering what ends up getting tweaked down the road

    But I'd like some variety, and, as mentioned, Shrines seems to be in the same shitlist. I like Shrines!

    Mac showing off some pretty decent Imperius play. I don't think he plays him as well as he can be played, for sure, but the character definitely has potential.

    Also, he beats Malthael a few times and claims that Imperius is OP but tbh their Malthael was hot garbage so take from that statement what you will.

    I was thinking a about it and the only thing that rubbed me wrong about imperious is that is seems his Q won’t stun if the enemy is too close to you. Probably something y’all already knew about but this was my first go with him. Seemed a bit annoying I could thrust straight through an enemy and not stun them. Maybe it’s OP like that I don’t know. Just about everything else though I enjoyed

    The location of your mouse cursor is actually the hilt of the q icon. So to stun someone right in front of impy, the cursor has to be slightly inside of your character model, not on theirs, which isn't really an easy thing to utilize

    Yeah I saw in try mode that his Q wasn't just a forward dash and that fucked me up. Utilizing that in an actual fight seems like it'd be real hard.

    I had no idea. Thanks!

    I probably should have watched some vids on him but I was just excited to play again after two weeks. He’s also the first character I’ve ever ‘bought’ day 1.

    I’ll definitely keep that in mind tomorrow

    I'd be down, although I'm not sure how much of my advice you'd wanna' hear. Maybe more play-by-play and shooting the strat questions off to someone else. Or I could do it solo if no one else is interested.

    One fun thing about new hero week is that you know that all QM teams will have one.

    And every team last night had at least 2 beefy warriors. Best part. They made this free Maltheal week. It was a great night to learn Malth indeed.
