| Thursday Teaching Thread - Beginners encouraged to ask questions here! | July 13 - July 19 Posted: 13 Jul 2017 10:00 AM PDT Remember to scroll down to the bottom or sort comments by new to make sure all questions are answered please. Welcome to the latest Thursday Teaching Thread, where you the community get to ask your questions and share your knowledge. This is an opportunity for the more experienced HotS players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them! If you wish to just view top level comments (ie questions) add ?depth=1 to the end of the page url. If you have any additional questions after this thread starts to disappear from the front page, /r/nexusnewbies is happy to help. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If summer items cost 50% more than usual ones, their duplicates should grant 50% more shards Posted: 13 Jul 2017 07:18 AM PDT The same applies to all coming events. But Blizzard will probably never agree to make it fair. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Our little community in a nut shell Posted: 13 Jul 2017 10:22 AM PDT Basically our little community in a nut shell. http://i.imgur.com/DPopa8m.png EDIT: I just had a sudden realization after reading the comments below. Yes, there are a lot of heroes from other universes that we can probably get for a long time. BUT, there are only about 10 heroes that our community is really hyped for and I think Blizzard knows that very well. I bet they will release a "hyped" hero once in a while to keep us hoping and waiting for the next "big" release. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We only had a single price drop in 2017 so far. Posted: 13 Jul 2017 11:38 AM PDT In my opinion, basically every hero release should also include a price drop for another hero in order to maintain a healthy average price. Now this isn't a concern for veteran players, since they will get every hero on release or for 10k anyway. But for someone who starts playing, it makes it extremly hard to get a decent hero collection (especially if you missed the free 20 heroes). So far, the only price reduction we had in 2017, was Kharazim that dropped to 7000. In that time, we also had 9 new heroes. This results in:
Meaning 42% of the heroes are currently in the 10k prize category. I really think this shouldn't be more than 30%. So could we please get a few prize reductions soon? :) [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Jul 2017 12:39 PM PDT Damn this hero is some good shit. His talents create unique playstyles that all feel slightly different when played. His skills create constant decisions that have to be made and playing him optimally requires really good awareness. He's the definition of a high skill cap Support where his skill doesn't come from micro play but from awareness and strategy and that's amazing. Whether he is overtuned or undertuned I don't know but Blizzard did some good stuff with this hero and hopefully Supports continue to be this amazing in future.

| Posted: 13 Jul 2017 10:16 AM PDT For me it is just sad. I spent more money in this game than WoW believe you or not. I had gems laying around and a fuck ton of gold so I bought the event bundle. What only one skin? I can't pick the bitten surfboard I wanted? There are EIGHT TINTS for stitches skin? I won't spend a single dime anymore. Shittiest deal of my life. And it was "discounted". [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Jul 2017 10:00 AM PDT If you think I'm gonna invest in gambling on chests you're delusional. Oh wow I finally got a glowing orange hexagon! Oh it's a shitter skin tint of a legendary I bought In season 1. Clouds look really nice. I'd probably drop $30 and buy them all. Oh... I need SEVEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED SHARDS to get them. Ok let me just buy some shards then! OH I CANT BUY SHARDS. Oh well I guess I'll just put all my money in a Roth IRA like my dad keeps telling me. Wish I could blow it all on Heroes of The Storm.

| This event feels like one of the most uneventful Events Posted: 13 Jul 2017 01:54 PM PDT I like the fact that I can get skins for free I like the pull party brawl ...but there was nothing else... I really like the past events, like the Lunar Festival events where we would get the monkey quest to do per day, and you could complete other event quests over time to say earn a mount to use, or some gold per day. However, there is just nothing. I feel largely that players at higher levels without a stimpack really earn very little from this event due to the frequency of lootboxes coming in, which is pretty low, and the lootboxes aren't guaranteed something good nor do they even guarantee an event item. I would like if Blizzard gave a quest at the beginning of a match to earn a lootbox a day, and it would also be nice if at least 1 event item was guaranteed per lootbox, because the only real thing that's going for this event is the skins. Maybe even have an overall event quest you could've done to earn a basic surfboard or something. Overall, I was kinda hype for this event coming up, but it feels like it's been the worst one so far IMO. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Worst trait of the game? Raynor. Posted: 13 Jul 2017 04:59 AM PDT Raynor's trait is supposed to emphasize his extended range. Now 3.333 heroes have similar AA range or more.
https://psionic-storm.com/en/comparateur-heros/?d=aa-range&sort=1 So currently Raynor's trait "uniqueness" only gives him a +1 vision range. Wow. In comparison even Tyrael is not so bad actually... edit: queries for domain and sort can now be set in url PS: love you Jim! <3 PS2: ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ SUMMON REWORK ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Please keep in mind that F2P economics are unfair by design Posted: 13 Jul 2017 06:53 PM PDT Creating and updating and AAA online game is very expensive. I own every single hero in this game. I am using the online services that cost money to operate. I had tons of fun. I did not spend a single penny. That is incredibly unfair. To compensate for all the unfair people like me, companies have to find ways to be unfair themselves and that is simply what you sign up for whenever you go F2P -- as a developer and as a gamer. It would be encouraging to see more people around here considering both sides of the isle, instead of constantly trying to shame the creators of the game we love to play for over 2 years now (most of us for free) into submission.

| Stukov's Silence actually stops a lot of things Posted: 13 Jul 2017 08:35 AM PDT I don't have a huge list but there are three thing's I've seen that are pretty interesting.
All I have so far but it shows some insight on to other things it would work on. I don't think it silences bosses but it probably works on things like the Dragon Knight's charge. It's possible it could even stop Azmo's Generals from casting Demonic Smite. Feel free to add anything you've all seen and I'll expand the list as I find more. I feel some of these are not intentional but work because how the game is programmed. Don't think Blizzard will patch any of this though.

| I just reached Hero Level 200 on Lunara! Posted: 12 Jul 2017 10:15 PM PDT Well, here we are again. I just reached level 200 on Lunara, through a lot of Quick Match and a lot of poison damage. I still can't get enough of this character, and just this season my Lunara spam has helped me climb to masters and play with some of my favorite streamers and pro players. Thank you Blizzard for making the best character to ever be created in a MOBA. Cheers to 200 levels, and cheers to a hundred more! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| You have to go back as far as Greymane to find a NON legendary hero. I think that's a problem. Posted: 13 Jul 2017 09:54 AM PDT When a Hero first comes out? Heck yeah they can have that shiny legendary status. I understand this is a business and you gotta make that sweet sweet money. But Li Ming? Xul? Tracer? Chromie? Gul'dan? Non of them should be legendary. A few epic sure but legendary? Come on! Out of that list I left out Medivh who is between Gul'dan and Chromie because in my own opinion and yours might be different, he's like Abathur and should be considered legendary. But That's just a few, go into the Heroes page of yoru collection and see the wall or orange flaming fire just bloating the legendary section with heroes that don't deserve that title! This is an unfriendly business practice and it devalues anything else that might be legendary. I don't like this, again personally. And there will be those coming in "But they're free!" They've always been free. But keeping them legendary just inflates their price for no reason other than to drain our gold. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Jul 2017 10:21 AM PDT Is actually the boss in the middle. Pushing payloads, pushing keeps, trying to farm the mercs. Those are wholly loathsome mechanics that are a complete and total drag. However, as much as I hate the map, I have to admit that accidentally aggroing the boss at the middle is a genuinely fun mechanic, I wish it was centered around that rather than anything else.

| Requesting an option to turn off emoji auto fill Posted: 13 Jul 2017 03:23 PM PDT It is so annoying that during chat suddenly this auto fill input element pops up and requires you to hit enter or escape while I try to type something quickly in game. I hope that this will be added quickly [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| So all of Stukov's level 20 talents are complete garbage, right? Posted: 13 Jul 2017 07:42 PM PDT It's always such a hard choice. They're all so incredibly bad. Am I the only one who thinks so? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Jul 2017 03:38 PM PDT Stukov says 'Fifty-seven to fourty-three. My favor' after killing Dehaka.

| Posted: 13 Jul 2017 02:20 PM PDT Welcome to the support owner's handy guide, for all you need to know about the one on your team! Supports are shy but sociable creatures, often found only when there are four other beings nearby. While there are wild supports, they are not often found, outside occasional surges of certain types. If your team comes into possession of a support, it's important to care for them! 1) What kind of support are they? Before you can care for a support, you must check which support you have. Some require less attention than others, and some may require you change your own routine. There are a few types of support: The pure healer. They are capable of mending wounds and preventing them as much as they can, and often have great patience. But, they cannot do much to protect themselves, and will need constant companionship. The utility support. This support will both heal and often bring a powerful buff or debuff to your team's toolkit. Due to the nature of these utility spells, they often can escape singular foes if cover is nearby. The damage support. A popular breed, the damage support exhibits aggression and will often fight back when attacked. It is not unheard of for damage supports to take down full members of a team, but you should never leave them unchecked, as they are still supports. Fake supports. These supports lack any reliable healing, and actually are not supports, despite official recognition. If you believe you have a fake support, attempt to find a secondary support. With the classes covered, next onto... 2) Universal needs All supports require some degree of love and care from their team. All supports share qualities known as 'mana' and 'cooldowns', although some display them more than others. Your support will become exhausted as it's mana and cooldowns are depleted, and allowing them rest is necessary, lest they become exhausted during combat. Another universal requirement is co-operation. While many supports will provide healing to you without prompting, if one makes it difficult to supply the healing, the support may become disinterested or frustrated. Additionally, if a support is repeatedly left in situations they are ill-suited to, such as a hostile lane, they may develop a degree of resent to their owners, and cease obeying orders entirely. This has been classified as a form of animal abuse. Lastly, at some point in thier lives, every support will request help from their team. Often this is a defense mechanism to prevent thier own death, but can also signal they have noticed enemies on your property, or attempting to capture a boss. 3) Specific needs Each support also has specific needs in order to live happily. Some are shared. Aurielis Archangeli (eng. Auriel)- This breed lacks significant movement speed, and has difficulty supplying healing over wide areas and to teams that are playing defensively. They require an aggressive companion, able to keep slows away from their wings and provide strong damage. Splendida Cornu (eng. Brightwing)- this breed boasts excellent self-protection through their innate mobility, but struggles when the team around it is reckless. To care for one is simple, and only requires exercising self-discipline. They cannot provide healing quickly, nor on demand until later life, so they are not good choices against burst damage teams. Kharazimii (eng. Kharazim)- Like the above Splendida Cornu, Kharazimii have great self defence and mobility, yet also have deadly attack power and healing on demand. Yet, they cannot strike from safe areas like many supports, so require an ally at all times if against opposition. Pandam Li (eng. Li Li)- this support requires absolutely no additional care, while it deals less damage and exhibits less intelligence than other breeds of support, is an excellent choice for teams ill-suited to ownership of a support. Legatus Misericordiae (eng. Lt. Morales)- This support requires a partner at any given time, and is the most extreme example of a being unable to function without guidance. Morales are incredibly easy prey to enemy assassins, especially those with high mobility. However, proper care is rewarded with unparalleled healing and many powerful buffs. Rejuvenascia (eng. Lucio)- Often compared to Splendida Cormu, the two are not to be confused. A Rejuvenascia deals almost imperceptible damage, but is capable of providing bonuses to all nearby teammates. Additionally, this support has the most potential for growth of any in the family,while the young are weak all-around, an adult is capable of providing more total healing than many entire teams can deal in damage. Prioritsing growth is strongly recommended. Natura Homine (eng. Malfurion)- This breed has some useful attacking spells, alongside slow but steady healing. A staple is thier Innervate, which allows you to deal more damage and restores mana. Some display extreme aggression with a dance known as the Twilight Dream. If you come across one performing said dance, then be wary it may develop suicidal tendencies, and should be watched closely. Tempestas Lupis (eng. Rehgar)- These supports display the most aggression, and deal more damage than many teammates. However, they have poor reserves of energy and will quickly run out of stamina, so be wary of engaging in needless skirmishes. Infestaverunt Admiraldo (eng. Stukov)- While recently discovered, this species of support seems to lean towards agressive, capable of extreme disruption and healing, but at the expense of escapes. Simply make sure the enemy is kept at a distance until they are willing to move in for a kill. Note: there have been reports of Infestaverunt Admiraldo saving enemy assassin as well. In the event this occurs, it is important to discipline them. A simple reprimand will normally suffice. Disputabo Adun (eng. Tassadar)- This is not a support, this is an assassin with shielding capabilities. They are nearly unkillable if properly trained, but may die if surrounded completely, or out of 'mana'. Disputabo Elune (eng. Tyrande)- This is not a support, this is an assassin with nearly imperceptible healing capabilities. They are fragile, and will die if attacked. Generally not favored as a support by the public, but has yet to attain status of true assassin, and thus basic respect. Lucifer Lux (eng. Uther)- this support will often pick fights, despite it's low damage. In the event yours begins walking towards a foe, bear in mind they cannot flee more than one enemy. They have a powerful short range stun that will allow you to attack careless assassins easily. Also, it is revered for the 'divine shield' ability, which allows you to shine like the skilled assassin you are. 4) Poor supports Not all supports are equal. Despite the physical superiority of some over others, mental agility and training will allow even young Rejuvenascia to outheal adolescent Tempestas Lupis. In the event your support is poorly-trained, then you can help by offering encouragement and positive reenforcement. Negative reenforcement has litle effect outside reducing the Support's confidence, and can lead to them missing critical moments when you need them. 5) Notes While supports are not to be considered real players by any assassin main, it is important to note the following -A team with support will always defeat a team without a support. -A team that accomodates thier support will almost always defeat a team that does not -A player that befriends a support can expect thier lifespan to triple. TL; DR be nice to us supports. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
