    I remember @kime asked me if I wanted him to join for my SL match. I invited him and...

    “Platinum can’t play with Bronze”

    Well that’s awkward. The game is all like, “Nah scrub! Your ass ain’t getting carried out of bronze by a good player.”

    realized i didn't own deckard and i wanted to play deckard so i bought deckard and i'm the best deckard

    deckard.



    edit: sidenote from that game: teammates were picking up my potions before they got swole so i was like "team you gotta wait til the potions turn big" and lunara was like "UGH" and that little moment just tickled my funny bone

    the changes to DW and auriel basically read like a parody of how to actually balance those heroes

    They are doubling down on balancing towards WR not changing how or why any heroes/talents get picked.

    The majority of the changes in there might lower win rates a few percent but don't give you any meaningful reason to not keep picking them.

    Exactly. Tormented Souls isn't picked as rarely as it is because its cooldown is too long; it's picked as rarely as it is because it's trash. Because they stripped all the armor bonuses out of it ages ago. And because you can still get literally all the remaining functionality of Tormented Souls on a 5-second cooldown at level 7 with Massacre.

    That's not true, Tormented Souls resets the cooldown of your W now!

    I feel like Tormented Souls can be fixed with a minor tweak. Something like it applies a root for .25 seconds or it allows you to W to any enemy hero in range even without the passive applied.

  • MNC DoverMNC Dover Full-time Voice Actor Kirkland, WARegistered User regular
    I like some of the changes. Raynor's Ace in the Hole getting the Slow baked in is a good and frees up his level 7 options. Tyrael getting a death timer reduction from his trait is pretty cool. Although I think 10% is too low. At the very least, give him a talent that bumps it up to 15-20%. Because unless there's a massive stun/root AoE going down, you're lucky to hit 1 target with the explosion.

    It can be, yeah. That's what's so frustrating about all these bullshit, arbitrary numbers adjustments.

    Dwarf block could be an interesting talent for Muradin but it's at level 1 so I will literally never pick it

    Minor Muradin Buffs? I'll take it! Although they're all based around using E to dive, which is great in theory, but in my clusterfuck poop league games I'm very afraid to use it for diving since I can never be sure my team is going to follow up or protect me from getting exploded.

    gang you know what's fucking buckwild, they cite Orphea as the reason they baked the slow into Raynor's level 1 but with Orphea they didn't do that shit at all they just plain removed it and replaced it with something arguably harder to use which doesn't have the same case use application at all! i just think it's WILD that they looked at Fright and went "gee. everyone's taking this talent. what can we do about this talent, that feels so mandatory for people and is such a central part of her playstyle?" "uhhhhh, remove it???" "genius. brilliant."

    anyway WTB Fright back as a baseline option for Orphea thanks she feels so fucking terrible to play without it

    like Jimmy literally just got two level 7 talents now if you pick Ace in the Hole tho, that's insane.

    I haven't played Orphea since like a month or two after she came out. What did Fright used to do and what did they do to it?

    I got deathwing during one of our NGS games last night.

    I did as much damage as the rest of my team combined.

    Feels good man.

    Fright was a level 4 talent that made her E wave slow. It felt mandatory (it was mandatory) because you COULD NOT land the E explosion without the slowing wave to lead into it. Everyone took it. It was also crucial to E build, or E quest at 7 anyway.

    They removed it and instead gave Ancestral Strength at 1 a single target slow on consuming trait via autos.

    So it's not the same at all, and it killed off E build, and it doesn't fix anything, and the level 1 E talent is still garbage. E build was my favorite way to play her; Ancestral at 1, Fright at 4, Mind Devourer at 7 (E quest). That's dead now. Ancestral still feels mandatory, E talent at 1 is still garbage.

    tl;dr they fixed nothing and instead hit her with a huge nerf for no reason.

    For closure for those curious, we didn't really have enough interest here for an in-house tourney. No one was uninterested, but also we just barely got enough people interested to field two teams. So that's just two, assuming perfect scheduling, and no subs needed.

    Maybe another time if HotS rises from the dead :P

    The secret is to get your wife to play as well. Then watch her get drafted way ahead of you, then shit talk for weeks if when she wins.

    Listening to NotParadox cover the recent patch changes. And when talking about how Last Rites will continue to be the dominant ult, he said
    I think they need to bring back the armor component for Tormented Souls

    I lost a game last night because my teammates refused to soak the bot lane. Just sat in mid 4v3 doing nothing. And yes, the wife was in that lane and refused to leave. I pinged several times to no avail.

    It's one of the single-most frustrating things about HotS. I've basically abandoning using Tanks in Bronze SL because I HAVE to be a hero that can soak fast. Often times, I'll avoid the first obj on a map if it's weak and just soak. Of course, none of my teammates understand the XP advantage and dive in 4v5 and die. Like, just poke and delay.

    There was a recent game I played as Samuro on Volskaya and we lost the first two obj which made my teammates got livid. We ended up losing our mid and top walls. The enemy lost their mid/bot forts. When I pointed this out, they finally chilled out.

    Why is this so hard for people to grasp?
