Heroes of the Storm - Unfortunate naming of Cho'gall


Unfortunate naming of Cho'gall

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 05:05 AM PST

Was playing bw when I came across this duo playing cho'gall. They had innocent names which combined to form this.

Is it me or is Valeera's silence WAY too long?

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 03:12 PM PST

It's kind of BS point and click silence? We get it Tracer is cancer, but please don't ruin the experience of playing every other hero just to counter a few with this

EVERY QM GAME - either miserable defeat or joyless victory

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 12:44 PM PST

There is nothing in between. Either we win so easily it's stupid or we lose so hard I wanna stop playing. There are NONE other games.

Please Blizzard, acknowledge if it's a bug or everything is normal and I've just had bad luck more that 200 times in a row.

Braxis is broken, please change globes

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 08:56 AM PST

A team has taken a keep - not fort, keep - with first wave in every game I've played first since patch. Letting the attacking team get 3+ free globes let's the push go forever.

I know I'm not the first to note this but I find this a bigger deal than broken placements. This map is faster and more random than some brawls now.

Hotstat.us - Hero and Player statistics, powered by HotsApi!

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 01:11 PM PST

Hey everyone, With the announcement of the incredible HotsApi service several months ago, I began working on a hobby project to implement my own heroes of the storm statistics web app both as a learning exercise and as a desire to build something that I would frequently use.


After 3 months of work, I'm releasing Hotstat.us!

Hotstat.us is a web application that displays a variety of aggregated statistics for heroes and players. Some of the things you can do are:

  • View traditional hero winrates/playrates/banrates in a filterable table.
  • View individual hero statistics for talents, builds, and hero matchups with graphs and filters.
  • View individual player summaries with aggregated statistics, and loosely approximated mmr rankings. Browse a player's recent matches with season and league filters. View your overall season performance: see winrates with your parties, as well individual hero stats.

This is the first time I've completed a project of this type or magnitude, and I had to learn a lot of what I leveraged along the way, so I'm still constantly figuring out how things should be done (or not done), so expect bugs and maybe even downtime! Some static parts of the site are bare-bones, and I'm hoping to flesh out the news page with a blog announcing updates as well as maybe even describing technical aspects of the site from time to time.


As for monetization, I have set up a patreon page as well as added google ads in an attempt to cover current costs and allow for upgrading the database and worker instances in the future. Hotstat.us does not restrict Adblock.


If you have questions, bug reports, or feature suggestions email them to contact@hotstat.us or pm me on reddit. Thanks for reading!

I take my hat off to you Blizz...

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 03:28 PM PST

Blizz I genuinely love your work and appreciate all the hard graft you guys put into a F2P (ish) game. At the moment, there is a fair bit of criticism being directed at yourselves, but oh well these things happen. Things weren't perfect before, they aren't now and probably never will be.

Bravo Blizz, I love your work.

Show some love guys.

We need a Diablo Krampus skin for Winter's Veil

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 01:07 PM PST

Ranked is not fixed yet, reset just made bug affect other players than before.

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 04:14 AM PST

So here is my story, im every season grandmaster as you can see here, my first placements this season went well (7-3) placed M1K and played about another 50+ games in two days got to 4k points peak, first reset didnt affect me and ended 3,7k before second reset. I didnt mind getting reset if blizzard does fix it, but they didnt i got affected by bug in my new placements, went 4-6 not so good but got placed Dia 1 in almost promotion (lost 20 PRA and 1k + points basically in 40% winrate placements), you might say thats not that bad, it wouldnt be bad if i wasnt getting matched with gold/platinum/low diamond players from last season.

Here you can see one gold player in my 9th placement game. So im not asking to get my 4k points back, i just want blizzard to turn off rankeds and do proper fix, because right now it was just disabling ranked for few hours and then "fix" which didnt work 100%. Right now HL experience is just bad variety of players from random ranks everywhere, toxicity is even worse now.

Here you can see ex Roll20 Prismaticism tweet about how HL is worse than ever (posted after "fix")

Edit : Here another plat player in masters game happend 14:30 CEST

Edit 2 : Perfect examples thanks Igniteice

Life-Binder Needs Changes

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 11:14 AM PST

The Ult can be grouped with the other super under picked ults like Last Rites. I never see an Alex pick it since Cleasnsing Flame provides kill potential, AOE healing, and an escape. Looking at winrates Life-Binder is about 7% behind. Sure its a hard to use ult and can be good, but it doesn't provide enough to Alex.

So what do y'all think should be done. Is Blizz gonna leave it alone for a long time like they've done with so many other under picked Ults?

With the Versus AI quest being bugged for months with no solution in sight, it is time to give the players the ability to cancel quests

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 01:13 AM PST

I know this is not the problem for all players, but it is extremely frustrating to the ones that are experiencing it.

The "Play 3 games versus AI" quest has been bugged for months, I have created dozens of threads on the blizzard support forums without getting an answer. I played this game for months with basically 2 quest slots, and then I got this.

I have no Overwatch heroes and with the quest being bugged, I have only one quest slot that I can use. Considering how long it can take to finish a quest depending on the type, I can play for several days only to finish one quest.

Please Blizzard, either give us the ability to cancel a quest, fix this versus ai quest, or at least let us contact support and let us make a case to cancel a specific quest.

Thanks for reading.

Valeera & Nova are way overtuned for QM

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 06:26 PM PST

Nerf the garrote talents on Valeera, and tune down Nova's damage. They are crushing QM. Nova is at the highest winrate I've seen in over two years & Valeera 2.75 silence duration is insane. I feel unable to play over 30 squishy heroes in quick match right now honestly.

Any particular reason Diablo and Auriel don't have terrain outlines?

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 02:11 PM PST

Diablo needs this so badly as a Diablo main it's ridiculous how many times I slam someone into a wall and it fails to stun due to the terrain not being exactly how it looks. (doesn't help the stun is under-sensitive to terrain also) Auriel could use this also so people don't try to KB and miss the terrain and let the hero escape due to the terrain not being what it seems.

As a Valeera main this update ruined her for me

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 11:12 AM PST

Every kill i get feels super cheap and couldve been done by rolling my head on the keyboard and playing against her is like playing against Garrosh, not necessarily op but makes the whole game into reveal the Valeera.

Your basically either useless or have to get the cheesy 2.75 second silence garrote build which isnt fun to play as or against.

Oh and finally the funnest build which made you feel like a rogue who picked of isolated targets doing big burst with the isolate build is gutted and ruined.

Ranked Chaos, justice for rainbow horse?

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 11:35 AM PST

Hey Blizzard,

ever wonder if this total mayhem is your comeuppance for screwing us all out of the mount reward you told us we'd be getting for last season?

When you get into work in the morning and decide ranked needs to be reset again, please ensure you also give out the mount you had displayed as the reward for the last ranked season for almost the entire season.

Cheers.

What about a "Soak/Clear this lane!" ping?

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 06:09 AM PST

I often find myself wanting someone to soak or clean a lane, specially when playing low waveclear heroes. I don't think that the "Defend" ping is enough, because some players don't think there's anything to defend if the lane is not being pushed by players or mercenaries. What do you think?

How does HoTS recover from the recent issues plaguing the game?

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 01:51 PM PST

As a 20 year player of Blizzard games, I don't think I've ever seen a single Blizzard property that has had so many significant issues coalesce at once.

Between PBMMR, MMR in general, map bugs, ineffective multiple season resets... I can't think of a time where I've seen any Blizzard game in so much trouble.

Given that they tried to do so much leading into the start of the new ranked season and the holiday break, is this something that you think Blizzard can resolve quickly? Will a full rollback to non-PBMMR be necessary? Will this be acceptable to the player base? Will this require a full season's delay of PBMMR?

I want things to work out, but I see this as a serious setback to the reputation of the game and the game's developers - it tried to bite off too big a chunk all at once and it shows.

Is this something that you think they'll be able to smoothly recover from, or is this going to be a point in game history that gets pointed back to forever? What's going to have to happen for you to feel reassured that the game is back on track?

Please try to keep this constructive.

Malfurion broccoli (and other summons) after the winion patch

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 04:10 PM PST

I tried playing some Malfurion in QM today and since I was just having some fun, I decided to take the broccoli talent at level 4. However, when using W to clear a large minion wave, the treant gets absolutely shredded by the minions.

Do you think that it would be fair for summons to take less damage vs minions now that minions do so much damage?

Hanzo should be able to use scatter arrow on his team's gate.

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 05:45 PM PST

Hanzo cannot use his scatter arrow on the gate. This can be annoying because if the gate isn't open (like a hero isnt standing on it/going through it) then it causes the illusion that is it in an obstacle of ricochet potential.

Neutral Health Globes that spawns in maps (not from enemy/ours to neutral) should stay 4 seconds just like before. (Now 2 seconds)

Posted: 16 Dec 2017 11:26 PM PST

They disappear way too fast! I've caught myself missing the chance to get them when I'm in Mine doing boss golems and what not.

Thoughts on Hanzo's trait?

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 03:56 PM PST

I find Natural Agility extremely finicky and difficult to use. I find I can only reliably use it on small obstacles or very thin walls that Li-Ming would be capable of Teleporting through. Even then though, sometimes he will start the jump with two-three character lengths of distance away from it, other times he won't bother trying until hes standing right on the edge of the wall.

Walls with weird angles are an absolute nightmare. When trying to leap OVER the wall, I will often find myself instead, sliding along the wall about two steps away from where I started, resulting in a very avoidable death.

The ability is so janky to use in most contexts, I wonder what could be done about it.

I hate placement matches

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 09:01 PM PST

There is literally no good aspect of placement matches.

If I get unlucky during placements, I end up a league below my skill and then have to grind up for the rest of the season. If I get "lucky," I end up a league above my skill and then slowly drop throughout the season.

The best case scenario might be that I go 5-5 and end up where I started. In that case, the 10 matches were pointless.

Conversation in my draft.

Posted: 17 Dec 2017 12:21 AM PST

High Diamond/ Low Master level draft

Guy picks Varian

Says "I'm going twin blades btw"

I say "I don't care if you go damage but csmash is probably better"

flames me and calls me retarded

I check his profile

he was placed masters 1000 points this season, his season high last season was gold 3

I say "Oh I just looked at your profile, maybe twin blades worked in gold, but in higher elo games it is considered pretty bad"

proceeds to say "What are you talking about look at my rank, I'm a masters level player retard"

Not only is this mmr system absolutely broken with how its placing people, but it is giving new or low elo players MASSIVE egos. This also happened after the most recent reset.
