HGC North America :: No Tomorrow vs Superstars :: Discussion Thread

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 06:00 PM PDT

Previous match thread: HGC North America :: Team Naventic vs Tempo Storm :: Discussion Thread - can be useful if this thread is posted too early.

We shift our focus now from the top of the standings in Europe to the bottom of the standings in North America. No Tomorrow — the seventh place team in the North American HGC — will battle it out against the sixth placed Superstars this weekend. This match is incredibly important for both rosters. Should Superstars lose, their risk of being sent to the Crucible rises drastically; if Superstars win, and win their subsequent series against Team Naventic in Week 10, then they can rest easy about the safety of their spot in the league.

Losing this match would almost cement No Tomorrow's attendance at the Crucible. Granted, they have plenty of room to move up in the standings in the coming weeks considering they must still play Superstars, B-Step, Team 8, and Team Freedom before all is said and done. After their win over Gale Force eSports last weekend, all bets are off. It's hard to gauge the power of No Tomorrow, considering their struggles in the first five weeks. Will they succumb to the same mistakes or will they have a repeat performance of last weekend?

As the race for the HGC playoff continues, the forecast becomes more clear. Only three weeks remain before we'll know exactly which teams will be representing their regions at the Mid-Season Brawl. Be sure to tune into this weekend's games to witness all the HGC action firsthand!

Finished my Tyrande (HotS) cosplay and finally debuted her this weekend, thought you guys might like it!

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 06:41 AM PDT

Headshot here

Full body shots here and here!


After a long few months of work I finally was able to wear my HotS Tyrande cosplay to Supanova (Melbourne, Australia) this weekend! Figured if anyone on reddit would enjoy this, you guys would. She's such a great hero and I loved being her for a day!

My cosplay page is https://www.facebook.com/K8cosplay/ for anyone who'd like to keep up with photos as they arrive, I'll be releasing them slowly across the new few weeks and wearing her to PAXAUS2017 too for anyone who'll be there!

Enjoy! :D

Hanamura is the perfect representation of Overwatch

Me as a support alone on the payload, meanwhile a bunch of tracers and genjis are running around being nowhere near any objective

100% calculated and not accidental

I am a terrible player

tl;dw -- Hanamura as Azmodan, accidentally attacked boss while running away. Boss hooks Gul'dan instead of me and eats him. (Not shown) He gets trapped in the ring and then killed later.

So I know everyone (including me) is really hoping for Li Ming and Alarak announcers, but... Anyone else think Cho'Gall would make a hilarious one?

Imagine the 2 heads arguing with each other / finishing each other's sentences when something happens.

Thoughts?

Please make Cho'gall able to carry the Celestial Steed mount!

It's so beautiful! One of the most impressive mounts and our two headed friend cannot carry him, cannot make his thing!

Please! I must see how it looks carried by an ogre!

Heroes of the Storm is currently broken for new players, no Blizzard response. Hoping to get more attention here?

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 08:20 AM PDT

Hi guys - new to Heroes of the Storm (like lots of people, brought over by the Nexus Challenge) and have been really enjoying it over the past few days. However, the game is suffering from a serious bug that is terrible for new players and there has been no Blizz response that I can see despite dozens of threads and hundreds of posts reporting this in the bug forums.

If you just start HOTS your starting quest is the "complete three games against AI quest". This quest never updates and you never get any new quests. Without the ability to complete any quests at all it's incredibly hard to get gold or unlock new heroes. I bought one of the bundles, realized that I like Zagara (not part of the bundle) and now either need to pay money to unlock her or grind another 80 games with no quests (!!!) to get enough gold to unlock.

Worse, this bug (or a variant on it) has apparently existed for months. How could this not be fixed by now?

Let's look at some of the reactions on the forums in the past day (many from the past hour) from new users like me:

I can only speak for myself, but I really have no interest in investing time or money in a game that can't even acknowledge an issue or at the very least, communicate with the customer.

Im a new player and have no gold due to the fact I have no daily quests.

Just posting here to say that I am having the same issue and it is really turning me off of playing.

Who the hell makes a big event in order to bring more people to the game and then completely !@#$s up the quest system? You will definitely keep those new players by doing that.

Can we get some attention on this? I'm certainly uninterested in putting money or time into a game that locks me out of basic functionality for no reason.

As a new player, my first impression of HoTS is that it's a cool game that Blizzard isn't willing to devote the resources to so it could actually compete with LoL and Dota in the Moba scene. Blizzard, please fix (or at least acknowledge!) problems that are affecting new players.

Edit - to give you an idea of how widespread and annoying this is, I just checked the forums and there are 4 new people reporting this in the past 5 minutes. It's nuts.

I prefered Brawl reward to be 1000 gold instead of 1 lootbox.

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 12:05 PM PDT

Anyone else feels the same? It's pretty quick and easy to farm lootboxes. But the gold is a pretty hard things to get. Having that free 1000 gold everyweek was really great.

Idk if its only this week since 2.0 is new and all, but i hopes its only this.

@Blizzard please give us an option to sort based on XP to next level.

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 03:32 AM PDT

Showing three closest heroes to level, and whatever that thing in the quest-box is, is not enough.
Please add the option to sorting, to sort on experience needed to next level.

Never like MOBAs, love this

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 01:06 PM PDT

I recently started playing about a month ago after searching for something new. I know everyone is writing these, but I love this game. Blizzard support and dev team are exactly how a community/game should be run. Constant balance, changes are incredible. Every map and character is so unique.

I have never liked MOBAs. I played DOTA for a little bit and just felt like a grind and not super fun. I played another title on PS4 and games would last up to and hour to an hour and a half. Games are quick, and as someone with more responsibilities now (boooooooo...) I just don't have the time for super Long matches.

As someone who has seen greatly hyped games ruined by bad gaming companies, blizzard has never let me down.

Thanks for everything you guys have done.

Kenma doesnt know how FoW works

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 05:50 PM PDT

Give Null Gate a passive as well.

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 10:58 AM PDT

Null Gate is never picked if none other than the fact your pylons are so soft without the shields you get from overcharge. I have some ideas that may help it be a more viable pick.

  • Passive +15-25% Pylon Range: Pretty simple, this will help the pylons survive more by being able to be placed back more. Because the pylon range is already large I think 25% may make it too big but I feel 15% would be fair.

  • Cooldown from 15 to 10 seconds: If the pylons die more often, you can replace them faster.

  • Extra Pylon Charge: I feel this may be the softest of all the buffs but it would still help.

Obviously, if anyone else has any great ideas feel free to share them. Thanks for reading and happy hunting in the Nexus!

The Dream is Dead: Allies Cannot Ride on D.Va

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 07:40 PM PDT

Am i the only one who hasn't had someone AFK?

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 06:57 AM PDT

as the title says, ive played about 10 games since 2.0 and i haven't had a single person afk in them. Is this just at lower player levels or am i just lucky?

Edit: Thanks to all the people who responded didn't think this post would get so much attention. Seems from what people are saying, people seem to be only going afk at low levels. People please stop.

After dozens of free chests for veterans, I have every skin I really want. Still, I bought some Gems to show Blizzard I'm grateful

Naventic vs Tempo Storm Game 1 ends... in an anticlimatic way

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 03:36 PM PDT

Can we have less mirror matchups in QM?

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 12:47 PM PDT

I know this is inevitable for new heroes, but can we lessen the odds for heroes released more than few months ago?

I'm really sick of people comparing builds and stats to that of the same enemy hero. And some mirrors, like Abathur or Azmodan, just nullify advantages that these heroes bring to the battlefield.

@Blizzard: Shuffle Mode for Announcers

Since so many announcers are so cool, cannot pick a fav, there should be like a shuffle mode for announcers.

Great now I have another game I'm addicted to

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 09:08 AM PDT

I started playing this game last night just for the overwatch skins. I stayed away from this genre due to my tendency to get sucked in; I was Already putting in 20 hrs a week into overwatch. Did my five games most people in my group left. Then one guy and I went for one more game just for fun. Next thing I know it's 4am. GodDamn you Jeff Kaplan. you got me again.

Anyone else having a bad experience on Hanamura?

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 05:52 AM PDT

Yesterday, my entire team blamed me for pushing the payload while they were looking for kills, I honestly thought it was a joke. And they did insist on it, we spent half of the match insulting each other. It was 4v5 and they insisted on team fighting/feeding while I was pinging our payload. They were not even close neither of the payloads. This is Overwatch feelings times a 100, at least in OW, the payload is literally on the way, sooner or later someone will try to push it.

My experience with Hanamura so far was a disaster, it's my least favorite map and it's been only 5 days since its release.

Apparently, HotS players on my region are not prepared for a map with mobile objectives yet.

Li-Ming should still call out her own kill streaks.

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 01:33 AM PDT

I have been using the Gazlowe and LiLi voiceover and have noticed that Ming doesn't call her own mutikills with them on. This bummed me out because I always thought it fit well with her cockiness. I have not tried the default V.O to see if She calls them out or if its been completely removed.

Hero-Specific Chests Should Guarantee a Rare or Better Hero-Specific Item

Posted: 30 Apr 2017 08:37 AM PDT

Currently, the hero-specific chests that you get for every 10 levels with a hero are worse than worthless. 90% of the time, they give you a common voiceline or emoji pack. If these chests guaranteed a hero-specific rare, they would actually feel like a reward for leveling your favorite hero instead of a punishment.
