    It's probably more that people don't buy stuff. I still don't have everything and I haven't bothered spending what I have.

    Yeah I sure as hell don't have or want 6 tints of the same cock.

    I don't remember how much I have in any of those categories, but I know I'm nowhere near close to any of you guys. How is that possible? Does everyone else just not buy stuff?
    Basically. The only thing I have all of is the heroes.

    Whoa now, some things are worth buying.

    Sheesh, when mine changes different colors, nobody wants anything to do with it, let alone pay money for it.

    OK solo healing uther might be more stressful than morales. I don't know him too well at all and was staying in the back most of the time. Maybe I should have tanked a bit more considering my armor but golly we almost lost this game like 4 times.

    Ok so healer is my weakest role, I almost never play it and have maybe 8% of my games as healer.

    But golly if I didn't out-heal the hell out of a deckard in this last aram.

    I kept a mei alive when she was literally cornered 1v3 and taking a million damage over like 15 seconds.


    Also geez sleep roots are busted. Guaranteed stun, even if they get woken up immediately, it still sleeps for like 0.5s minimum.

    I had a Deckard on my last aram today, not you, we didn't have a mei.

    I was shock ray Tass. At 10 I went black hole. Deckard went Stay a While.

    A few minutes later he caught 4 of them. Almost in a nice tidy line. I lined up, walled the back, black hole, static field, shock ray. It was beautiful.

    A true weekend HotS team would have had an ETC to Face Melt them all out of the way.

    He wins a Hammer game in GM without siege mode.

    mmmmmmmm he is losing that entire game including his core going down to 37%; other team fights 4v5 - diablo/jr combo and one shot 2 heroes and then they just march it down and win.

    spider build hammer is decent and a bunch of free dmg, but the end of this game is a combination of his team winning and the other team throwing while Fan is along for the ride.



    e- took me awhile to catch what setup that kill - diablo apoc combos off hammers barricade

    Some of that game is them losing because that Junkrat kept getting caught at random. I never checked the talents, but it looked like Artanis didn't build for racing either...or if he did he avoided the Immo all game and might as well not have taken that level 1.

  • Inquisitor77Inquisitor77 2 x Penny Arcade Fight Club Champion A fixed point in space and timeRegistered User regular
    I remember there was a period where Hammer was overtuned and you pretty much never went into siege mode because she could out-trade just by stutter stepping.

    So I just realized something that should have been obvious: I don't think armor reduction is worth it unless the target already has armor (or at least it's worth it a lot more).

    Because the nature of armor is that each additional point is worth exponentially more as you get closer to 100 (increasing from 98 to 99 is more damage reduction than increasing from 0 to 45). So those points of reduction are also worth more against higher armor. If you hit someone with a 10 point reduction while they're at zero, taking them to -10, that's 10% additional damage. However if you take a Deathwing from 40 to 30, that's 17% additional damage (was taking 60% of your damage, is now taking 70%).

    So I haven't been playing hots much, and when I do it's arams and AI; meaning I haven't played zag in a while.



    The wife just now: "I don't even know if you're a zag main anymore."

    Damn, woman...

    Had a game where a teammate didn't pick a single talent until 10, and then delayed picking the 13 until lvl 16.

    "I have to know what they're getting first so they don't counter me."

    It did




    ...not!

  • MrBodyMrBody Registered User regular
    So it was a Yrel who wracked up 15 deaths.

    Consistently would jump in to suicide whenever it was 1v5, would never ever engage if it was a teamfight (one enemy about to catch 2 near death teammates running back to our fort, full health Yrel turned around and ran away rather than knock the enemy back, who ended up catching and killing both teammates).

    To the point I swear it was intentional.

    Did I get trolled by a Fan donation challenge?

  • fortyforty Registered User regular
    Can't get yelled at for picking bad talents if you don't pick any talents.

    Sigh, from the same guy who insists that Focus Fire is the best Tracer auto attack talent...

    "We lost because we had no wave clear that game."

    I take the protector one. I try to get to 50ish by level 4 and 200+ by 10 by then I touch people it's death

    OK so wait... how did I not get MVP?

    Just curious about the 'algorithm' that hots uses... or is it more of a coin toss at this point?

    Every AI I've ever met is a dick.

    Usually it's people on my team talking trash, but I have gotten hate mail from people before.

    My favorite is the game I destroyed a Valeera over and over again. Like, my guy, if you're losing 1v1s to a Hanzo, you deserve this lesson.

    Hey, let's learn Medivh in quickmatch!

    *several games of failing, never coming close to completing quest, abysmal stats, lots of yelling*


    Bit dumbfounded looking at the Icy Veins lvl 1 talent recommendations for him.

    I understand saying Portal Mastery is the best, but saying the raven speed boost should never be picked because "the raven is already fast enough" while saying the raven regen bonus is useful? The amount of times when +75% passive regen while mounted outdoes the value of +50% mounted speed???
