    Grats @Kieri !

    Does ARAM use Quickmatch rules or Draft mode rules as far as daily quest credit goes?

    So this is about League but I found it really interesting:

    Looking at Heroes Profile Quickmatch stats, the reworks basically flipped D.Va and Gazlowe. Prepatch, D.Va was near the bottom of win rates, Gazlowe was hanging around in the top 1/4 or so. Now, D.Va is damn near the top, and Gazlowe is hanging out near the bottom.

    This is great! I'm loving nuGaz so him getting buffs will be awesome.


    His AA build could def use with some base armor to keep him in fights longer.
    20 is way too long for this.

    QM rules.

    I confirmed today I had to choose the right hero type etc to get quests done.

    Turrets needs more damage, Robo-Goblin needs some changes. For being the "I want to be in Melee a lot" talent, it sure doesn't really give you much in the way of survivability. I'd take a small amount of Armor (10? 15?) and then the 20 talent still goes to 30 Armor.

    I also wouldn't mind seeing Laser's charge time decreased to 0.5 seconds.

    Artifacts and talent gating where some of the worst design ideas I have ever seen.

    TECH SUPPORT THREAD, RECOMMENCE

    So if you replaced the HDD, that could be a number of other things that are PROBABLY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. To list off a few, that could be PSU related, that could be mobo related, that could even be RAM related (faulty RAM or maybe it needs re-seating).

    The awful thing about trying to diagnose computer problems is that there's so many fucking things that it might not be and you have to work your way through all of them.

    I'd start at the obvious stuff though. How old is your PSU? Mobo? When was the last time you cleaned/dusted out your case?

    Let's take a step back. Did it die AFTER replacing the HDD? As in you had already successfully cloned the old drive, removed the old drive, and everything was working fine with the brand new drive for awhile?

    Or did it break while in the process of replacing the drive?

    Tech support guy called me and said he had the same crashing problems when running HotS on my computer. He swapped his drive with OS into my computer and played a full game (and won of course) without problems. Gonna year it overnight, but he’s leaning towards refreshing my Windows. If that doesn’t work, a full reinstall of Windows might be in order.

    What process did you end up using to get the new computer running? Did you image the old HDD onto the new SSD, or did you try something else?

    I first started playing HotS because a big draw of it was that I didn't have to get to level whatever in order to actually play the heroes with the same stats/abilities as the rest of the playerbase.

    Had a game last night were we got a team wipe post-20 and I right clicked the core and typed “See you at the core!” On my way, our Meph decided to pull a @milk ducks and grab a camp, but thankfully the rest of the team had common sense.

    Just as I was closing in on the core, my PC entered sleep mode. FUCK!!! I was hoping this shit was over with. After trying to reconnect and going back to sleep mode, I finally got back to the main menu. I checked my history and I secured the win. Whew!

    Well, back to the repair shop. This time we’re going to full reinstall Windows. After that, it’ll be GPU or mobo testing.

    Okay, I have done a LOT of Gazlowe games since the patch and experimented with a TON of different builds and talents. But now, I think I finally have something I can unequivocally call his best build.

    EiUQbFaXkAAmegZ.jpg

    So it's a hybrid build. It takes Big Game Hunter at 1 to allow you to shit out Turrets and Merc well (you are so starved for Scrap if you don't take this one). Yeah, the Turrets don't do that much, but when you can shit them out like that it does actually add up. After that, Hyperfocus Coils at 4 and Overload at 7. This gives maximum Laser damage and healing. Your self-healing skyrockets. The % damage on Laser also matters quite a damn bit.

    10 is up in the air according to the game you're in, but Robo Goblin has been getting me more consistent results than Grav-O. Grav-O can win teamfights for you though, it just depends on the comps. So either/or!

    After that, Positive Reinforcement at 13 and Overklock at 16. This will let you SHRED people. STRAIGHT UP shred people. And then finally top it off with Ult upgrade at 20. Mecha-Lord is nuts. Period the end.

    So it basically just gives Gazlowe good Everything. Insane autos, a really good Laser, and Bomb is already a damn good button by itself, so. The only time I wouldn't take the AA talents at 13/16 are if you're up against a ton of backline/ranged and you can't get to them. But otherwise you can shred the enemy tank/bruiser or melees. If that's the case though you just go for Spell Power turrets and Ark Reaktor, but I do think the AA talents give him such a huge edge otherwise.

    My boy needs some buffs and tweaks though, but this is the build that has been getting me the most consistent results.

    I'm streaming a few games of my climb out of Bronze. Come say hi!

    Stream over. Went 2-0 w/Varian and D.Va. One win away from getting back into Silver.

    And I'm in Silver. 14-1 in my last 15 SL games. 11-2 w/D.Va, 2-0 w/Varian, and 2-0 w/Muradin.

    Just got my promotion win when the enemy let Kael'thas through and I was the only one who would play him (they banned D.Va). I remembered @Dibby Kael build (mana shield and full W) and got almost 100k damage and helping our Butcher secure 12 kills and 350 meat.

    That promotion game also marked my first win worth more than 200 points (279 to be accurate). Maybe the game will give me more points from all my wins after dinging me up for 500/loss to start the season?

    Kael'thas is the #1 ban at scrub tier, since he's much more of a scourge amongst the unwashed masses than Chromie. Bads like me can't play Chromie for shit.
