Blizzard, Please. I need an Alarak Announcer

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 11:24 AM PDT

So after playing around this weekend on some characters I never got around to, I made it about 4 levels into Alarak before his voice acting make me go to Google to figure out why I was having strange feelings.

One Google search and about a two hour YouTube rabbit hole of Star Trek: TNG nostalgia later, I don't think there is anything I want more out of a Blizzard game than a John de Lancie voiced announcer for Heroes of the Storm.

Please Blizz. Pleeeeeeeeeease?

Telling someone "kill yourself," "get raped," and "raped your mom" doesn't get you silenced.

Had a particularly violent toxic player on my team recently. I let him vent for a bit via whisper after the game, as you can see in the screenshots here:

I reported him, of course, but felt obligated to go the extra mile, so I also contacted support. I gave the unedited screenshots to a GM who didn't seem particularly interested (wouldn't even verify if he could see the attached screenshots). Now, a few days later, I can see that this player is still not silenced.

Denying whispers from people should be a two way street.

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 03:50 PM PDT

Just played a game and after a pretty convincing win, got a message from someone on the other team flaming my play. Tried to respond, got the does not accept whispers from non friends in return.

Blizz - can we make this setting a 2 way street? If someone doesn't want to receive messages from non friends they shouldn't be able to send them either.

Seems to be a recurring issue these last few weeks. EU down again. FeelsBadMan

Edit: And we're back! It's a shame that this hasn't been addressed to the players. If it's the same issue I feel that we deserve a heads up to at least know it's being worked on.

Blizz Reminder: Please Update Old Skin Quality!

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 07:26 AM PDT

The quality of models and skins continues to improve, mounts as well like the new Celestial Steed. Old skins like Mecha Tassadar are amazing but could use a new coat of higher resolution paint!

Pixie Dust Should really just give a spike of armor for 1.5 seconds

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 03:01 PM PDT

Debate the amount all you want, but I think that this would be the best way to make BW a viable solo support without making her op again. The main reason she's ever gotten to the point of being op before was because of the multiplicative effective her aoe healing. However, Pixie Dust is a single target effect so there's no fear of that. As far as the actual numbers go I could see anything from 50 armor for 1.5 seconds to 75 spell armor, to 25 physical armor and 50 spell armor. I'll leave that to the balance team to decide. Pixie Dust takes up a basic ability slot but it's rather unimpactful. It would be the perfect place for a buff. It would raise her skill/reward ceiling without pushing her to be over powered, while simultaneously enabling her to have a more active supporting style than her usual passive one.

HGC Mid-Season Brawl

HGC Mid-Season Brawl is the first Heroes tournament in 2017 featuring teams from the entire world. 12 teams play to determine the world champions: two best teams from each major region (South Korea, Europe, North America, China) and the champions of minor region championships (Taiwan, Australia & New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Latin America). Tournament winners get 100,000 USD out of the total prize pool of 250,00 USD.

The Brawl starts with a group stage. Each of the two groups is played in a round-robin format. All matches are a two-game series and teams get 3 points for a 2:0 win or 1 point each for a 1:1 draw. The group stage is played from June 10th to June 14th in Stockholm, Sweden.

Two bottom teams from both groups are eliminated and the tournament moves on to the playoffs - a double elimination bracket. Top two teams from each group start in the upper bracket semi-finals while 3rd and 4th placed teams have to fight through the lower bracket. All matches are best-of-5, except for the best-of-7 Grand Final where the upper bracket winner starts with a one game lead. The playoffs are played from June 17 to June 19 during DreamHack Summer in Jönköping, Sweden.

Match format

Each match in the group stage is a two-game series. 3 points are awarded for a 2:0 win and 1 point for a 1:1 draw.

Battleground draft is in the following format: team A veto, team B veto, team A pick, team B pick.

Dear Blizzard, please give us HGC cosmetics and HGC loot chests!

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 05:55 PM PDT

Blizzard, I love the HGC. Let me support it even further!!!

Imagine this, all the teams in the HGC gets their team logo as Emojis, Sprays, Banners, Portraits, and even Nexagon mounts. And you create a separate purchaseable HGC loot chest! I want to show off my favorite teams in my games, and you could dedicate the funds from the HGC stuff to the HGC prize pools! :D

Does D.Va say her voiceline "Are you Bronze league ?" in Bronze league games ?

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 11:48 AM PDT

QOL for tyrande: Trueshot aura range indicator or in game number.

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 09:37 AM PDT

Really, there is no way to know how far allies can be from you to receive the buff aside of testing it. An indicator when you hover over the talent or a description like "an aura of X radius around you" would be good.

Shoutout to the an incredible Heroes Event, all the Casters and especially Kaelaris!

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 02:39 PM PDT

First off, I have to admit I don't watch HGC everytime. I am a Team Liquid Fan and as they didn't made it I thought I might loose my interest for the Mid Season Brawl. Today I was watching it the first time and - WOW - that was fun!
For me it was not only the purely epic games, but all of the casters, analyzer and the really fun and sympathic host Kaelaris. I never had such a good time watching e-sport. The atmosphere was so good everyone had fun and was laughing. I really really enjoyed it.
Kaelaris just became my new favorite HotS related person. :D

Just wanted to say that, since I'm kinda suprised that there are not already hundrets of post about it. But maybe it was just so special for me. Anyways, it was a great time and I'm very glad I tuned in today! (oh and hopefully my english turned out to be alright,... not very fluent in it)

Mid Season Brawl: Elo and Statistics Update - Post Day 2

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 01:56 PM PDT

Hey guys, post this one directly to reddit since it usually takes a day for things to get published on GFE.gg, so it's easier for me to just post this here:

There was actually some pretty big Elo changes as a result of day 2. For teams in the Mid Season Brawl, here are the current ratings:

Elo

MSB Rank Team Rating
1 L-5 1795
2 Fnatic 1794
3 MVP Black 1780
4 Team Dignitas 1733
5 E-Star 1709
6 Roll20 eSports 1668
7 Tempo Storm 1599
8 Super Perfect Team 1492
9 Nomia 1473
10 Soul Torturers 1395
11 Red Canids 1350
12 Deadly Kittens 1337

Group A Odds

Using Elo odds to simulate each group 100K times, I get the following updated odds

Team Points Winner's Bracket Loser's Bracket Elimination
Fnatic 6 85.9% 14.1% 0.0%
MVP Black 4 78.8% 21.1 0.0%
Roll20 esports 4 33.3% 65.6% 1.0%
Nomia 3 1.9% 84.2% 14.0%
SPT 0 0.0% 10.0% 89.9
Deadlykittens 0 0.0% 4.9% 95.1%

SPT continued to struggle, while Fnatic continues to roll. Despite splitting a series, Roll20 is still likely to end up in the losers bracket unless they can get a win or two against Fnatic. Nomia is in a great place to get to top 4.

Group B

Team Points Winner's Bracket Loser's Bracket Elimination
E-Star 6 79.0% 21.0% 0.0%
Tempo Storm 4 4.9% 90.1% 4.9%
L-5 3 50.8% 49.1% 0.1%
Team Dignitas 3 65.3% 34.5% 0.3%
Soul Torturers 1 0.0% 5.0% 95.0%
Red Canids 0 0.0% 0.4% 99.6%

Dignitas beating L-5 really opens up Group B. Right now, the top two teams will be whoever emerges between E-Star, L-5, and Dignitas. Tempo Storm looks safely in 4th place, but could lose that spot to Soul Torturers if they can't find another win.

Hanamura is a push map, and the more people realize that, the less frustrating it'll be for all of us.

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 04:46 PM PDT

5 or 6 times in the past week, in unranked draft and in Team League, I said, "Hey, let's focus pushing instead of payloads," or, "Are you guys familiar with the push strat on this map?"

Of course, some people won't reply in draft chat and will just auto-lock their Nova or whatever. But even the people who say they're familiar with it or they're cool with focusing pushing completely lose all interest in pushing the second the payload spawns. Saying, "Hey, let's focus the fort while they push," just provokes people pinging the payload over and over or saying, "omg you fucking scrub this isn't a push map LOL focus objective idiot" or splitting the team and getting stomped.

There is a legitimate strat on this map that makes it fun and interesting, and 95% of players just don't know about it, and so when it's mentioned, they assume it's a bad idea.

So this is just a PSA that pushing on Hanamura:

  • Gives you a ton of XP, which is huge on a teamfight-heavy map
  • Removes healing fountains from your opponent
  • Gives you 1 whole bonus shot per fort/keep destroyed
  • Forces enemies to be defensive and therefore NOT push their payloads
  • After a keep is destroyed, sappers spawn that, upon reaching the enemy core, fire a shot
  • Is a lot less frustrating and a lot more engaging than the normal approaching, making this mediocre map a little less medicore

For an example of the kind of comp and approach that works best with this strat, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aJNRJNFpJ0

So please, the next time you see your teammates trying to push a fort on Hanamura, even if the payload is up, don't rage at them. Pushing that payload AFTER you destroy the fort will award you two shots instead of one, AND you'll now have an XP lead, AND the enemy team will be down a healing fountain, AND you can push the keep now and potentially secure free shots with sappers.

tl;dr Hanamura is secretly a push map, so push, dammit.

People need to relax in Quick Match

Posted: 11 Jun 2017 08:52 AM PDT

Nobody likes losing, I get that. But there's no need to be toxic in a quick match. Saying the team is full of noobs and refusing to play the game because they're frustrated doesn't do a thing to help. Make suggestions and be polite about it. I'd understand that coming from ranked, but it's quick match. It's there for practice and trying new builds, strategies and characters. Calm down, my friends.
