Issues with Latam Qualifiers 2017

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 08:21 AM PST

Hi all, I'm Jschritte and currently playing as Flex for Infamous (Latin America Team), ex member of Brave Ozone / BigGods / BurningRage, 4 x Latam Champion (2015/2016).

I've always hoped for the growth of our scenario and always had the patience to believe that it would grow as time went by, but the lately events have gotten me upset.

Everyone knows that unlike the Majors Regions, Latam has no league in 2017 and that's understandable, because normally the games grow out there and then have an engagement in smaller regions.

The Copa America format of this year has officially gone (only Portuguese version): http://us.battle.net/heroes/pt/blog/20483089/detalhes-da-hgc-copa-am%C3%A9rica-2017-de-heroes-of-the-storm-12-01-2017

For all to understand how the Latam is divided:

North Latam: México, Cuba, Haiti, República Dominicana, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicarágua, Costa Rica, Panamá, Colômbia, Venezuela, Equador, Peru. Teams in this regions play in North America server with 90-150 ping. They do not play in Brazil server because is 200 + ping.

South Latam: Brazil, Bolívia, Paraguai, Uruguai, Argentina e Chile. Teams in these regions play in Brazil server with 5-100 ping. They do not play in N.A servers because the ping can be up to 200 or more.

The Regional Final that will give place to the clashes (3 teams of the South Latam + 1 team of the North Latam) and it will not have a presence event as it had last year, we will have presence event only in the qualifiers for the global (Mid-Season and HGC FINALS). It is unfortunate for the growth of our scenario, because it opens space for several questions regarding the game here in our region and how the company is treating e-sport.

  • As a qualification of a Moba that will give place to an International event (Clashes) can be online if we have teams from different regions (North and South)? The reason why this is sad for the development of the scenario is very simple to understand: since the games are summarized in BO5, in games involving different regions, some team will play more times on the server of preference, with this, taking advantage of ping. At a competitive level, ping can often be a deciding factor for a win or a loss. Some players have already stopped playing because of this or just like me, they were unmotivated by this news.
  • We may have situations where no matter how much a team has trained, ping can be a determining factor when defining the representative of our region in an International event.
  • Hearthstone had a face-to-face event in its first season of 2017 Latam, in which 8 players from different regions of Latam were brought. Without wanting to decrease or make public comparisons between the 2 games, but why a game where the ping does not interfere decisively in a match, has a face-to-face event, and a moba, will have his qualifier online? The only thing that comes in my head is: "economy" costs, as 4 teams of mobas are 20-25 people, while in HS they are 8.

It is very sad to see how great the HGC is in the Major Regions (production, wages to the players, media, etc.) and to see that here, compared to 2016 that had 4 events face-to-face, we are regressing. I'm not talking about face-to-face events to be a Hype for the competitive, but just as a way of respecting players who can play equally against all teams in the same level. Blizzard blocked teams/players from the Minor regions for playing in the Major regions with HGC rules (6 months to play Any Division) and in Latam, are regressing we scene with decisions (I will not even mention the global prize pool reduces)

Thank you all for the support

Anyone knows anything about it? Possibly bug fix or two? It was a really small update that's true.

Or anywhere on the site, unless I am completely missing it.

QoL: Permanently display combo points directly above Valeera's character model

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 10:18 AM PST

Can we pleeeeeeeease get the current combo points directly above Valeera's character model (like the ammo count for Tracer)? I know there's floating combat text but it goes away and in the heat of battle, I lose track of the points I have.

More than once I have eviscerated with only 2 points because I forgot that I didn't take the talent that grants 2 combo points when using my stealth abilities.

Who are you rooting for in HGC and why?

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 06:46 AM PST

I haven't watched much competitive HotS before this HGC season started.

I really don't know anything about any of the teams (EU or NA), but watching sports of any kind is more fun when you are rooting for a team. So I'm curious, who are you rooting for and why?

(Also, if there are any sites that have descriptions about the teams and players, please share.)

Anybody know what the update just release was for?

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 10:03 AM PST

There are no patch notes and there is an update scheduled for tomorrow(I'm assuming that is a patch since there is maintenance as usual on Tuesdays).

PvE Brawl Idea: Sylvanas escape artist

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 07:05 AM PST

So I was watching the newest episode of "Heroes of the Storm WTF Moments" when this scene was showing. https://youtu.be/u9SmUFbAMMA?t=175 And I thought to myself, this would be a PvE Brawl I would like to see in the future.

It could work like this: - The game will be played on "Cursed Hollow".

  • Each team consists of 5 players.

  • Every player is playing as "Sylvanas".

  • Players can not damage other players or structures, instead they will get different abilities to crowd control other players. "Q": Slow other players
    "W": Silence other players "E": Same ability as normal Sylvanas "R": Every 120 sec you can resurrect an allied Sylvanas

  • There will also spawn 5 AI controlled "Butchers" on the map that will hunt down the Sylvanas players.

  • Butchers can not be damaged and they can walk through gates

  • Every Minute one more AI controlled Butcher will spawn on the map

  • The last player standing will win the match for his team

  • A brawl consists of 3 Rounds

In this PvE Brawl you will have to use your "E" ability to get away from the Butchers and use the terrain to your advantage.

What do you think about a PvE Brawl like this?

[Suggestion] Promotion mounts for those who have Diablo II and Warcraft III

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 04:51 AM PST

Even though it's not a vital thing for the game right now, I would be pretty happy if they do something like this. There is no love for Diablo II, Warcraft III and Starcraft. I mean for gods sake, they're not even in the Battle.net launcher. But the topic is different when it comes to the Nexus. I think giving promotions for Blizzard Classics is an amazing idea. What do you guys think about it? Am I just being silly?

Clarification Edit: There are mounts on the in-game shop for real money. Instead of buying just a mount, you're buying a game (old but still playable by some newcomers at least) and getting the mount. Think of it like this. It's not mandatory.

Helping a friend with self esteem problems improve?

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 08:25 AM PST

I started playing heroes because one my friends and teammates at school did and I wanted to spend more time with him. He has some self esteem problems so I thought this would be good. Plan backfired we did TL calibration and I'm bronze 2 and he is bronze 5 he has 400 games I have 20. So now he feels bad about heroes. How to help him improve? Anyway to encourage him getting better without claiming to be more skillful? I really want him to succeed. He would benefit a lot from it.

Tldr. My friend that plays a lot more HotS calibrated lower than me how to help him?

Edit:the friend in question is on a knowledge bowl team with me it's like competitive trivia. It might not sound important but it is to me and him. He has a tendency to tilt and fixate on failure and shut himself off. I'm playing heroes with him as a way of increasing interaction and hopefully trusting me, hopefully having him trust me in KB.

Another edit: the friend has self esteem problems, he plays HotS I can't change these factors I'm aware mobas aren't a great environment for self esteem but I can't change that

Week 2 HGC Trends Open Discussion

Posted: 30 Jan 2017 09:02 AM PST

Sparking the discussion;

  • Medivh continues to be a huge boost to two teams in particular; Team Expert and Team 8. Outside of the in-game abilities the heroes brings, Medivh adds an unbelievable amount of draft control. Glaurung, in a post-match interview during week 1, admitted that the threat of Medivh into a forced ban allowed Team 8 to "win" the draft [needs reference]. Expert has used Medivh with Brightwing (3-0) during the "Malf or bust" meta.

  • How will reworked Tass' eventual introduction change everything? IMO his lack of perma-shields, pending globe questing, does not pair well with his weak early-game. While pro-players will always get more out of Tass than any of us plebs, does this turn the "pocket-shielder" draft strat into more first-rotation/first-ban Zarya?

  • Illidan showed up a few times this weekend, both as a siege God and with The Hunt. Spooder-build Nazeebo now 3-0 (I think?). Tychus builds all over the map. Interesting builds/talent choices you've liked/disliked?

  • Of the teams that are unexpectedly struggling; thoughts? B-Step, to me, has issues with Caff looking apprehensive, but also with K1 and Mac swapping range/melee from their previously "established" roles.

There is almost no reason to ever use baseline Ambush on Valeera

Posted: 29 Jan 2017 08:32 PM PST

Garrote/Cheapshot universally result in more damage dealt, and CC on top of it.

It needs a buff of some sort. Vanilla numbers, low health execute, some buff associated with energy, baseline isolation damage bonus, baseline small dash, dunno.

PSA to Nvidia Users: Do NOT update to the RE driver as it may cause HOTS to not launch

Posted: 29 Jan 2017 09:49 PM PST

Updating to the new Resident Evil driver may cause your Heroes of the Storm.exe to not launch and be unresponsive.

Many Nvidia users have reported this problem since 3-4 days ago ever since the newest driver came out.

If you are experiencing this problem, you can reroll your graphics driver to the previous version to fix the problem.

Let's talk level 20 talents

Posted: 29 Jan 2017 05:13 PM PST

There's a trend in newer heroes to get really cool talents at level 20 (Aside from Heroic ones). I think it's really nice, it makes your last talent choice really feel ''top tier''.

Exemples:

-Zuljin gets a new spell, a root -Alarak gets a really unique escape and refresh that both fit in his ''eye for an eye'' design -Valeera gets huge damage powerspikes -Varian gets two very good utility choices -Xul gets an extra spell

Whether they're popular or not isn't really the point, the point is that lvl 20 is ''wilder'' and offers more. Older heroes don't have that. There's a lot of generic talents, some very outdated (Kerrigan has Nexus blade....), some are just really underwhelming.

It'd be nice to update level 20 talents for every hero so we could get really cool stuff on everyone. For exemple, Jaina who I'm a big fan of, gets ice block and a slightly better version of a lvl 1 Li Ming talent (Get 400 mana and 15% AP every minute vs get double mana and 10% AP from regen globes). It's boring, ice block is fine cause it's so strong, but Astral power is so underwhelming. Something that interacts with her kit.

There's many examples, like Kerrigan where it's not just boring, it's ridiculous. Older heroes suffer from this the most.
