Guillermo Del Toro reaction to "Mechastorm" animation

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 11:00 AM PST

It's pretty amusing and yet sad how Genji was permanently picked or banned in HGC, and now Hanzo joins HotS just to be permanently picked or banned along with Genji in HGC.

D'va's Bunny Hop Ult should give her an armor passive in mech form to make her a viable solo tank.

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:16 PM PST

That ult is so bad because unless you're already snowballing the enemy team, your mech is going to be instantly destroyed. In almost every scenario, big shot out classes it because her mech is destroyed so easily. She also has a harm time fitting into comps due to lack of damage as a bruiser, and lack of survivability as a tank. This is one way to help a D'va determine her role in a team.

Simplicity using banned skins?

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 03:14 PM PST

Watching HGC makes it very apparent that we need a third ban.

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 11:10 AM PST

The first ban phase is almost identical across all games so far in both regions.

We desperately need a third ban with the extra ban in the first phase or this meta is going to get really stale.

Ex Team Expert roster picked up by Method

Grubby teaches philosophy

This game has its moments, let me tell you about one.

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 05:36 PM PST

So I logged on to HotS and some of my RL friends are playing, I notice they have a space in the group and request to join.

No dice; apparently they were waiting for someone else to finish a game to join them.

FeelsBadMan

turns out another of my other RL friends is looking for a group so we join up and swing into Unranked.

We are second pick and two of our new teammates lock in Rehgar and Garrosh.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration hits me.

"All orc team?" I ask in Draft chat.

My RL friend and I are in voice comms and both hover Thrall and Samuro with the last of the picks now hovering Gul'dan.

The picks get through and we live the dream; typing LOKTAR OGAR! and FOR THE HORDE with each victorious skirmish and kill.

We friend list, group up and get on voice with the fury of battle still fresh in our hearts.

"FOR THE HORDE!" we yell on voice chat.

We play for another couple of hours and call it a night with a string of victories under our belt (We also learned that "orc" is a viable search term in the hero selection tab. Fun times).

Only in Heroes of the Storm could I have gotten something so magical and unique and I love this game and the community for being what it is. Just wanted to share.

[Suggestion] Malfurion's regrowth's leaf indicator "decays" over time. Starts with a green leaf, then yellow, then red when it's about to end.

This game desperately needs another ‘Tryhard for Good’ event for HOTS viewership! 2.0 launch wasn’t the right time to do it, NOW is

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 01:54 PM PST

TryHard for good was the most successful program to game viewership and twitch number by bringing in high profile LoL players to play and stream HOTS while be coached on their race for grandmaster. Viewership numbers were higher than I've seen since I started playing 2 1/2 years ago.

But this promotion happened at the wrong time. 2.0 launch was more a shop/cosmetic update with loot boxes added, there was no change to core gameplay. Map rotation, later regretted by Blizzard, was held to only a 6 map rotation to give more constant exposure to Hanamura, which was instantly hated by the community and later pulled by Blizzard.

Right now is the perfect time to do another promotion of the most successful viewership we've had. The new 2018 update changes core gameplay, not just interface/shop options. All maps are in rotation. This is the best time we could ever have to entice people over from League of Legends!

I'm positive the community wouldn't mind help funding for another TryHard for Good event. This game desperately needs it. Never been a better time to show this games true strengths: new gameplay and diversity of maps. By the time it's inplemented, there should be PBMMR and voice chat too.

Literally went from Silver 4 to Plat 4 doing Learning Fives

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 11:50 AM PST

Just want to recommend this program to anyone who would like to improve! My team (made up of silver/low gold players) was coached by a Master level player. He set up scrims for us where he would spectate and coach us, as well as jump in and play support when we were missing someone. I had an awesome time and learned a ton about soaking, rotations, drafting, as well as mechanical play.

We only played twice a week for a couple of hours at a time, so the commitment shouldn't be intimidating! And it only goes for 5 weeks.

I got way more out of it than expected. Last season I placed Silver 4 and then did Learning Fives. I climbed to Gold 2 thru the season. This season placed plat 4 and my wife and kid FINALLY respect me.

Here's the link if anyone is interested: https://goo.gl/forms/OJBdKNU9pVx5ejF72

I know there were teams as high as diamond level last season so it isn't only for silvers.

Helpful Tip: The counter to Hanzo is relentless, unadulterated, murderous diving.

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 06:24 PM PST

His strength is his poke. Pick a Tyrael and judgement his face off. He is utterly annihilated by dive comps. If you let him keep whittling you down before fights, you're going to lose it.

Be aggressive. Be relentless. Play with the intent of ruining his life, and your team will trample over his. If your team can make a dive comp, Hanzo will be rendered useless. If you play passively, he'll out poke you while his team waits for a kill opportunity.

Math of the Storm: Malfurion in Patch 29.7

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 06:29 AM PST

hgc.playxp.com is awesome!

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 01:43 AM PST

Watching the KR games tonight the casters mentioned that you can go to hgc.playxp.com and it's the stream of the currently live game but from the individual perspective of each player! You can select which players screen to focus on and switch as you watch. I played around with it during the last game and it worked really well, I think this is an awesome idea! (Forgive me if this isn't new and I just didn't know)

A downside is that it doesn't seem to do mulit-language so you hear the KR casters instead of the english casting but you can just mute the volume on the playxp tab and leave the normal hgc stream unmuted.

Make try mode into a game mode tab

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 03:27 AM PST

https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/7rh0ha/can_you_try_skins_out_in_a_game_before_buying_them

This post is why we should have try mode as a game mode. Many people never go to the collection and only buy stuff from the qm screen. (btw dont buy heroes from qm screen because they dont dance after purchase :D) Some most likely dont even know about weekly sale items or newly added tints becuase of this, resulting in lower sales.

It would also let us try mount-skin combinations and announcers too with more than 5 lines. Basically its the same as the qm/ai start screen, but you have everything unlocked. You make a loadout, load into try mode with it and if you liked it you can buy everything with 1 button press.

When Abathur use Ultimate Evolution on Illidan

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 10:43 AM PST

With all the talk of Arthas model, Brightwing already had one designed!

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 04:33 AM PST

Where is it?

That updated Brightwing model was so cool and they still hold it back because "some people could prefer the old one".

Come on, Blizzard, Brightwing could use a facelift, especially since it's been created already! It had an overwhelmingly positive reaction as well....

Counting for Hero League

Posted: 19 Jan 2018 07:45 AM PST

Counting is an important skill in Hero League that often goes undiscussed, so I made a brief introduction to help out newer players.
