| Monday LFG Thread - Find people to play with! | June 26 - July 02 Posted: 26 Jun 2017 10:00 AM PDT Ever find yourself looking for more people to play with? Post in here if you are looking for a team for competitive play or if you are a team looking to fill out your roster! You can also check out our Looking For Group Wiki Page! If you believe something is out of place here please report it! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 26 Jun 2017 06:40 AM PDT I think one of the biggest problems with Hots is finding the right group for you, and I suggest how it can be fixed. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Should Ragnaros' camera zoom out during Molten Core? Posted: 26 Jun 2017 08:41 AM PDT I'm suggesting this because
It works well there, why not in Heroes? EDIT: As for anyone going to say "Just play with unlocked camera", I myself do, many others don't. Even then, it's a nice change: even for players with unlocked camera. [link] [comments]  | ||
| No Fnatic mount according to Fnatic player SmX Posted: 26 Jun 2017 08:15 AM PDT According to SmX stream (support player for Fnatic), Blizzard told him there will not be any mount for Fnatic, even if they won a World Championship (the Mid Season Brawl), while before every team who won a World Championship (Cloud 9, MVP Black, Ballistix/L5) got a mount in the game. For me this is a bit dissapointing. Not only that, but I feel that outside of the mount for the World Champion, there is no showing of the pro scene of Heroes in the game, and I would really like cosmetic items related to Esport (for exemple, teaam sprays or banner). What do you think of it? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 26 Jun 2017 07:53 AM PDT Guide to understand silver and gold meta. After watching to many HGC games and to many guides, I get so many unrealistic expectations about my games. More I tried to improve my game, more I was getting confused what the hell is going on. Silver/Gold meta is so much different from pro meta, that HotS on this level looks like totally different game. I'm pretty sure that many of you noticed that too. This little guide will help you understand what is going on in your silver and gold HL games. Enjoy! To understand players priorities, lets assign points to every action. Then simple math will help us decide what is best to do. So lets start: Killing enemy damage dealers +10 points each - its the core of this game, obvious. Killing enemy healers +5 points (Morales is worth 15) – another obvious one. Killing enemy tanks -10 points – everyone know silver rule "Don't attack tanks", its just not fair. If you kill enemy tank, his healer and dps heroes will be exposed and easier to kill, beacons easier to hold, objectives easier to defend, so just no. Its like a foul in some contact sport, don't do it. Thankfully a lot of people know this rule, so even if by some terrible mistake you take enemy tank to just last few percent of hp, don't worry, your teammates will surely refuse to finish him of and dive past him to try to earn some fair points on other non tank heroes. Taking a camp +5 points (exception here is Hanamura where camps are worth 1 point) (another exception are specialists, for most of them camps are worth around +30 points or more, hardly anything beat the camp on your priority list when you play Gazlodan) – timing is not important, just take a camp, and points are yours. Pushing with camp 0 points Taking a boss camp +20 points – this is a real deal. If you don't see enemy heroes (on the map), you can't kill them right? But don't worry, you always know where the boss is, so if enemy is nowhere to be found, go for boss, free 20 points. Pushing with boss -10 points – you get the boss (probably by stealing it from wiped enemy team who was attempting to take it) end of story, let him do his job. There are probably some camps to take on the other side of the map, right? Pushing with boss is like killing a tank, it gives your team unfair advantage, just give enemy team time to respawn and deal with boss, you would not get any value out of pushing anyway, you don't believe me? Check how much forts and keeps are worth. Taking map objectives – this varies a lot, most of them are worth many points, usually from 25 to 50. Pushing with map objectives 0 – usually you can use that time to get camps or something, sadly on some maps camps are disabled when objective is pushing, so to not get afk warning, go with him, maybe you sneak some points on killing enemy heroes? Just be extra careful with enemy tanks, for example punishers doesn't know the rules and might try to help you get -10 for a tank kill! Taking enemy fort +3 points – you should rarely bother to do it yourself, forts and keeps will eventually die during the game, there are always more profitable things to do. Taking enemy keep +2 points – read above. Taking a core +1 point – I'm not sure why some people even bother doing this, even after you wipe enemy team, you can take boss, if there is no boss, you can take camps, even taking keep is worth more, so don't bother with a core! Now lets talk about some specials and bonus points: Revenge kill +50 points – that's a nice one, if you lose a team fight, most of your teammates are dead, you can try to go for "revenge kill", risk is high, but reward is worth it. Enemy team will most likely get en extra 10 points on you, but if you score, you will end up 40 points ahead, best deal ever. Being a coward -25 points – when you fight, you fight, there is no going back soldier! Sometimes teamfight is going bad, your teammates dying left and right, but if you back of at this moment, you will earn your team -25 points, so keep fighting and who knows, maybe from time to time you will score for your team a revenge kill? It doesn't happen often, but it happen, so keep trying. Predictions – these are hard to evaluate, but usually they are worth a lot and I mean A LOT. Later in game they are losing some value, so for example its better to call "gg" after first blood, then after losing some late game objective. "GG" in the middle of the draft is worth more then five kills and a boss, "GG" at the very start of the draft, when players only prepicked they favorite heroes, is like catching a Snitch in Quidditch, I'm not even sure why game goes on after this point. Insightful knowledge – these are priceless. How to evaluate these game changing moments? Some golden or silver pros can really boost your team by sharing their deep knowledge. It's almost impossible to say how much is worth what they think about other players picks or performances. Is "falstad you are RETARD!!!" worth more then "rehgar you are idiot, go kill yourself!!!"? Its hard to place value on advises like "Uninstall!!!" or "go f**k your mum!!!", but I'm sure that we can agree that those are all game changing moments. Its getting long so I will be closing now, just few final thoughts. Some of those scores are slowly changing, more often then before I see that cores are having more value for players, being a coward is sometimes a virtue (weird! I know), players aren't that eager to take bosses when enemy team is alive and so on... One day those might become obsolete in gold and silver, like this brilliant thought from early HotS "He thinks that this game have laning phase! lol he think he is playing dota".

| Probius can detonate other Probius´s rifts. Posted: 26 Jun 2017 12:04 PM PDT http://imgur.com/a/C1XYc Image for context. This match was at the same time one of the weirdest and one of the funniest I ever had. Other fun facts: -You benefit from other Probius´s pylons (mana regen and activation of the cannons). I´m not 100% sure about this one because the game was really chaotic but I´m pretty sure. -Your Heroic only activates your Pylons. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Dear Blizzard, Can we add new hero Talents to Patch Notes Posted: 26 Jun 2017 11:21 AM PDT Blizzard, You have listened to us in the past to improve patch notes. Adding Orange text to differ from PTR and live notes as an example. Do you think it is possible to added the Talents of a new hero to the patch notes? When new heroes get reworks, it is very nice being able to read all their new talents, the removal of old talents, and the movement of talents and the talent tree before even having to open the game. When a new hero launches though, we need to open the game, watch a streamer live, or go to third part sites to get the talents. When heroes are first revealed there are a lot of news sites that post the talents, but once the notes come out, having to find these sites is a slight hassle. Looking at the Malthael patch notes as an example. I get to go to one link and understand everything I need about the new Thrall. But for the actual new hero Malthael, I get the basic abilities and then no information. Before reworks where a thing, it seemed like it would be a bit much with patch notes, but now that we have the framework for talents, it would be much appreciated if new heroes could also get a talent section. (It would also be good to see if talents get changed between PTR and Live in an easier fashion) [link] [comments]  | ||
| If Cho/Gall are already banned can Cho/gall not be able to be banned? Posted: 26 Jun 2017 02:50 AM PDT I know its a small thing but having your banner be able to ban both seems pointless. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Thank you Tetcher and Kendric on HGC China Posted: 26 Jun 2017 07:14 AM PDT The casting is always great but they have powered through horrible tech issues from the chinese side. They kept us informed and enterained while trying to do their job in not the best conditions. Thank you both [link] [comments]  | ||
| Miss-clicked the Gul'dan ult... Posted: 26 Jun 2017 06:16 AM PDT We still managed to win, but man RoD is so useless... Tried to cast it once in a teamfight-stopped it after a second, I've tried to cast it once while we were sieging, it had less impact than just spamming Fel flames. Didn't try to cast it again afterwards. What is the purpose of that ult? :D For the record, I am maining Gul'dan for quite some time and this is the first time I've "tried" RoD in around 150 GD games across my accounts.

| Posted: 26 Jun 2017 09:22 AM PDT /u/Spyrian set a great example of community management, responding quickly to community concerns and letting us know when Blizzard was aware of bugs. He hasn't posted in a month, and I miss him! Blizzard, if you read this, please know that you don't have to give us many details at all for us to appreciate your attention to this subreddit. We just want more responses! More [Blizzard responses] coming Soon™? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Heroes Lounge Interviews Mike Morhaime, HGC Casters and Players at the MSB Posted: 26 Jun 2017 06:16 AM PDT Over 20 members of the Heroes Lounge community met up in Sweden for the mid summer brawl. While we were there, our friendly latino, Narsha, had the opportunity to talk to some HGC casters, players, and even Mike Morhaime himself about Heroes of the Storm, as well has the competetive esports scene. A huge thanks to everyone who agreed to talk with us. It was really incredible the kindness and patience everyone had. Click on the links below for each individual interviews, or you can check out the entire playlist here. Casters Players Everyone there was so incredibly nice, and again I can't thank you all enough for your time and insight into the game! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Hero Discussion of the Day: Tassadar Posted: 26 Jun 2017 07:48 AM PDT Not sure what happened to these but I liked reading how the community plays them. Honestly, there are pro guides but I'm not playing the same meta as the pros. What do you guys think? Shoutout to /u/_Royalty_ for starting and maintaining these until recently. Universe: Transformers Role: Support Title: Savior of the Decepticons

| Competitive HotS and the massive effects it has on Hero League Posted: 26 Jun 2017 12:26 PM PDT I was curious what effect the heroes preferred by the teams in the Mid Season Brawl has on the HL meta, so I looked up some of the more defining heroes from the mid season brawl. I compared the stats from after the event (18th June up to now) with a three week span before the event (21st May to 10th of June). I was surprised to see so big shifts in Hero League. Stitches He was popularized by Dignitas and their blow up comps. His popularity was 14% before MSB and 21% after. He's seen a 50% increase in involvement rate. Uther By far the strongest and most popular healer at the MSB. In the period before the MSB his popularity was 33%. After the MSB his popularity has grown to 64%. Ragnaros Teams and analysts were quite dismissive of Ragnaros. He was viewed as a weak hero. His popularity has gone from 28% to 15% in Hero League. He did receive minor nerfs on May 31st, which undoubtedly might affect his popularity as well. Anub'Arak His popularity was high before and after the event. It's not strange. He's a very strong tank. I was curious to see if pick rate of Cocoon had changed, since it was such a defining ability at the MSB. It went from 62% popularity before the event to 80% afterwards. There are some factors we have to consider with these stats. First of all, not all players upload replays to Hotslogs. Most likely serious HotS players are more likely to both upload replays to Hotslogs and watch and be influenced by the competitive meta. So I suspect the needle might be moving a bit too far. Secondly, HL meta also gives birth to HL meta. When heroes and abilities become popular, it tends to spread quickly since players see it used in their games and if it's effective they will emulate it. That said, I still found it interesting to see such a clear Mid Season Brawl effect on HL stats. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Blizzard, my friends are leaving your game because of getting paired on distant servers... Posted: 26 Jun 2017 06:09 PM PDT We play on South American server (9ms ping), and every other day we get matched only with Central United States server people (240ms) on every game for many games in a row. No one of our 5-man is from another server, we're all from SA. This is so unfair to the point that we prefer to take the -600 MMR + leaver punishment to have to play a game with .2 seconds of disadvantage of a 99% chance lost game. PLEASE do one of the following: Make an option to deny us from joining another server, even if SA server is offline, or make a message popup before the queue asking if it's ok to join a game on another server (showing its ping). We're really fond of this game but lately this issue is driving us away from it. Edit: we have all set the preferred server to SA and edited the server files to try to reduce the chance of other servers, still, no good. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Why does Johanna's level 16 talent Blessed Hammer have such a high win rate? Posted: 26 Jun 2017 09:57 PM PDT If Johanna picks up Blessed Hammer at level 16, a hammer spirals around her doing ~80ish or some seemingly negligible amount of damage after casting W. This at face value doesn't seem to be as impactful as other people with big 16 talent spikes, yet it is the highest winrate lvl 16 talent for Johanna at 58.2%. Why is it better in general than, say, Imposing Presence? Does it have to do with the fact that Blessed Hammer consistently gets its value on every W without having to think about it at all? Does Joh just have really lame level 16 talents? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 26 Jun 2017 05:19 PM PDT I dont know what is happening, i finished a HL game and we won. But its not in the history and i dont have the points, is this normal, requires some time to load the stuff? [link] [comments]  | ||
