| Posted: 04 Nov 2017 09:52 AM PDT Really, new mechanic will have the side walls destroyed as their attached gate+towers get down. The walls are very strategic in the game right now, letting you get a kill or escape from one with so many different heroes, not to mention the vision that so many players ignore when rotating... https://gfycat.com/ChubbyCluelessFulmar Edit: added the HawkrayTV video [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Congratulations to the HGC Global Champions! Posted: 04 Nov 2017 05:23 PM PDT MVP Black takes a 3-1 victory over Fnatic in a best-of-5 series.Follow continuing discussion about the series in the discussion thread. This caps off an incredible first year for HGC, with the changes to the game coming in 2018 looming on the horizon.This year still has some content in store, with another round of The Crucible and a period of roster freedom, during which teams and organizations are free to make changes to their lineups without penalty.

| Walls make plays! Please save them to preserve many engaging interactions. Posted: 04 Nov 2017 12:00 PM PDT I main Illidan. He's an extremely engaging hero because of his ability to dance around the battlefield. I was truly saddened when I found out that walls are planned to be destroyed when you destroy a gate. I found out about this in this thread. Here's an amazing play Fan once made with a leftover wall. This was the play that inspired me to play Illidan. I saw the hero's deep potential for playmaking ability. Now take a moment to realize that in the planned change to the game, this most beautiful of playmaking, that for me epitomizes the fun of Heroes of the Storm, will not be possible. I've made awesome escapes with walls too. These feel really rewarding to pull off. Here's another crazy escape I made with walls. Walls were fundamental to this play. Walls are vital for dodging abilities. I use walls to escape ALL THE TIME. It's such a core part of Illidan's gameplay that I have the following text on my clipboard whenever I enter HL: Save walls please :illicool: they save me! Walls are valuable because you can pick fights around a wall with the certainty that you will be able to escape. If you don't think that's valuable, let's just say, I'd rather have walls instead of The Hunt. They are THAT valuable. Walls are like extra Metamorphoses – free guaranteed survivals. There are so many fights I would simply not take if a wall wasn't around.
With walls around, there's a whole extra layer of depth to Illidan's Dive. It's like having another Friend or Foe (ally hero dive) talent, but for structures. You may argue, walls aren't removed from the game. But it's very rare that diving a wall with a slowing fort on the other side is worth it. Here's a poll... let's compile our opinions. Please respond with why, if your vote is negatory. If you haven't made a play like this before, I can tell you it's one of the very most satisfying experiences in this game. The planned change would be removing fun. EDIT: While the amazing escapes are rare gems, in general using leftover walls as planned escape routes is very common by the way. I just played a game and made sure to count. I disengaged with a wall in this fashion 3 times total. I also engaged with a wall twice. This is more crucial than my ability to mount. Also this is less significant to me, but it's worth mentioning that when all that remains of a fort are the debris and a couple of walls, it feels more real like the ruins of a fort. Like a legacy that a fort used to be there. From a purely design/aesthetic perspective, walls are a nice touch. There's a lot more to walls as well, such as vision, lifesteal, stacking, etc. with all heroes in the game being affected in some way. It's a layer to the game that I don't want to see reduced. In this post I mostly wanted to share my own experiences with walls and how for Illidan in particular they are so core to his gameplay. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Devs, please bring Jaina's new WoW model (and skin) into HotS! Posted: 04 Nov 2017 03:39 PM PDT Jaina just got a huge upgrade to her character model in WoW, one that's brought her from looking fairly generic to something more unique. I've long felt that her model in Heroes of the Storm suffers from the same problem (to a slightly lesser degree) too, she always seemed less detailed than most other characters, certainly the newer ones. Her face always looked kinda plain while many others are full of distinct detail. Many of the older character models are going to need to be updated sooner or later anyway (*cough* Arthas *cough*), and you're going to have to fix those f***ed up fingers sooner rather than later too, so why not go all in for the full overhaul now that the WoW team has given you this new gift. Oh, and "Kul Tiras Jaina" needs to be a skin. Please and thank you. <3 [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prismaticism now a free agent. Posted: 04 Nov 2017 05:31 PM PDT As the title says. Looks like the rosterpocalypse has started. https://twitter.com/Prismaticismism Bit gutted about this. Felt this roster had the potential to keep moving forward next year. Will be interesting to see what else happens. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| HGC has inspired me like nothing I've ever seen before, and it has been amazing. Posted: 04 Nov 2017 05:27 PM PDT Honestly everything I've hoped for in an eSports event. The analysis desk, the casters and slightly cringey announcer was amazing to watch. It had passion written all over it Another amazing part was the "behind the scenes" videos (Oracle videos) which made me feel connected to the players from a very ground level, which was amazing because throughout the entire thing, I said to myself: That could be me. And I've only been playing for like half a year, but I've never been this excited to get back to playing and improving. Truly well done to Blizzard for the entire event. I honestly can't wait for 2018 and beyond. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| RIP - Teased Heroes features that died this year Posted: 04 Nov 2017 03:29 PM PDT Last year at Blizzcon these were some of the features that we were teased with: Blizzcon 2016 dead features Blizzcon 2016 video Voice chat is indeed coming, but these features died on the vine:
It also looks like the aggressive map reworks that were teased 6 months ago died as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/67acgw/hanamura_and_genji_live_qa/dgp2ohn/?st=j9lwgm67&sh=61a0e66b [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 04 Nov 2017 02:00 AM PDT https://gfycat.com/ChubbyCluelessFulmar Was talked about at around about 1hr:41min into the vod, see here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/187420982 This is a big change, and I feel deserves it's own thread to talk about. I'm not a big fan, as leaving the walls up was an important strategic decision that is now completely denied from the players. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Samuro changes heard from Chu stream (Kent Erik) Posted: 04 Nov 2017 08:38 AM PDT He can swap with his clones baseline (no control over clones) with longer cd, buffed by Illusion master. He also has control over his Q placement (sam appears where ur cursor is). His dmg is also moved a bit from his clones to himself so his gameplay will revolve around swapping (and opponents are rewarded for pinpointing his real position) more. They are also considering that his clones not giving hero quests (still testing). [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Heroes needs an official Instagram account Posted: 04 Nov 2017 11:26 AM PDT I know it's doesn't have anything to do with our game itself but Heroes' playerbase has been growing tremendously since the launch of 2.0 and I really think Blizzard cares about the game more than ever. Of course there are Reddit, YouTube and Twitter but they're all formal. Instagram is the easiest way to access photos, short videos and most importantly, stories. With that in mind, I really hope to see an Instagram page for Heroes. Silly hero statues, photos of the Heroes team, office photos etc. All that unique content. Just check other Blizzard accounts below and you'll see what I mean. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Under which distance is it faster to walk than to mount at 100% walk speed and 120% mount speed? Posted: 04 Nov 2017 07:35 AM PDT Title. Also assuming the default mount up time. Just wanna know this pretty bad since I feel I could utilize this in-game in certain situations like short distance chases after a teamfight. EDIT: 130% mount speed, u/Pianofruit EDIT2: Thank you to everyone, and to u/_Hubris for the graph which pinpoints the exact time which is around ~4 1/3 seconds at which when both types of movement start they travel the same distance. So I tested this in game and this was just millimetres from completing a full screen left to right (and vice-versa) on the same point of y-axis using Azmo and Murky. (I'm using 1920 x 1080p, this and above which are the standard for Hots) This post confirmed for me that for me mounting short distances was a habit for me. I was needlessly mounting short distances from fort towers to fountain and dying to dot damage when I could have lived so many dam times if I just walked. This change will surely save me some clutch wins. [link] [comments]  |
