In case you weren't watching the HGC team comps.

Hopefully this will lead to some changes. It's basically watching the same game over and over again.

Games are extremely laggy on East Coast tonight

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 03:29 PM PST

Played a co-op AI game and had 400+ ping. I have a pretty reliable gigabit fiber line that has never given me troubles before. Played a game with some friends shortly after the AI game and we were all experiencing the issue (250-400ms). Anyone else getting an unusual amount of lag tonight?

My ping is usually around 30ms..

What happened to playing Hero Trailers or Cinematics between matches/during long breaks in HCG?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 02:38 PM PST

Every break I've seen so far in 2018 has just been a static screen with some filler music and a countdown clock. The countdown clock screen was present occasionally last year, but in most cases whenever there was a significant break between games/series they would play HotS trailers, cinematics or recent hero spotlights. I haven't seen any in 2 days of HGC 2018 (especially surprising since the new Mechastorm trailer would probably be a popular addition to the rotation). It's a minor change but breaks are definitely more boring now.

It seemed like a decent way to keep viewers more engaged, spawned some chat memes and felt like an attempt to sell the game to non-players who might be tuning in. Might not have been perfect, but weren't those videos better than nothing? Anyone know if this is an oversight and are trailers/spotlights/cinematics planned to come back?

Does Greymane have a 100% participation rate in HGC?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 11:17 AM PST

I haven't watch any of the Korean matches but it seems like Greymane has been in every single NA/EU match.

Severe lag on Central US servers?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 03:32 PM PST

The reported ping is 200-300 ms which is much higher than normal (15-20 ms.) But performance is much worse than 200 ms; skills are coming out about 1,000-2,000 ms delayed.

Anybody else experiencing severe lag on the Central US servers? Any official word from Blizzard about the issue?

Any players in the MENA region?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 01:21 PM PST

Just a test post to see if there are any active players in the MENA region on this sub who would be interested in forming a community and eventually a team to represent the region!

We all loved Janitor Leo, so what about Heroes of the Office?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 02:11 AM PST

Think about it. CEO Azmodian, Manager kael, Cubical worker(insert hero here), Jim(from the office) raynor, Nova(pam), Tychus as a warehouse boy. Its all right there. Plus with the office's launch on comedy central, it is well timed. And it gives us all an excuse to launch janitor Leo.

Why is HGC viewership so low?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 02:55 PM PST

I remember last year viewership would consistently by 15-20k+ but it seems to be stuck around 9-13k viewers now

You're wondering why this game struggles to grow? 2018 and this is still an issue..

No HGC Youtube VODs?

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 10:39 AM PST

I remember they were quite punctual last year with uploading the games on Youtube, but I haven't seen any uploads on the Heroes Esports youtube yet. Is there something I missed?

Something positive for a change.

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 07:24 AM PST

I just had a QM game where one of our Teammates (chen player) went afk until he got kicked out and became a bot. Our Cassia player then took the role of chen and constantly dived into 5 people and blamed afk chen for everything. What followed was a barrage of insults until he/she also left the game. So we ended up with 2 Bots (chen,cassia), what followed where 10 very frustrating minutes with lots of deaths. BUTTT we were playing on Haunted Mines and had a murky and Gazlowe and we knew if we just stall them long enough we could actually win this. The cassia player returned at the 25 min mark probably thinking the game was long over, and left again immediatly when he realized we were still fighting to win this.

Long story short, murky and gazlowe went on to destroy all their forts and keeps, constantly splitting the enemy team. at the 29th minute mark, we caught 3 of them off guard doing a camp and after we killed them we rushed to their core and won.

Soooo maybe this will cheer you guys up a little bit. Somewhere beyond the wall of toxic players and leavers, there is still hope. Never surrender...

Heroes of the Storm has really unstable ping for me recently.

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 03:48 PM PST

My specs: GTX 960, FX 8320, 16GB RAM, Windows 10. High speed UK internet connection with average pings of around 15-20ms in other European servers.


As the title says, I get wildly varying pings in hots, upwards of 150ms, and as low as 20. It really effects gameplay, where I have died because of it.

However, in other intense games, on European servers, such as Rainbow Six: Siege, I get a stable 15-20ms with no trouble.

It wasn't always this way with HOTS, it seems to be a recent issue honestly. I tried posting on the forum however it just doesn't create any posts for me, and the support page directs me to said forum. I also tried reinstalling the game to no avail.

Any help?

Since it seems we're not going to get a blinking "HGC" on the Battle.net launcher, can't we at least get it in the main menu?

Look at all that blank horizontal space left: https://i.imgur.com/I5pgZRa.png

Just make an "iframe" of https://esports.heroesofthestorm.com/ and actually permanently promote the tournament... :\

Mildly Interesting: When the HotS client is set to Korean, D. Va (the only South Korean hero) is the only hero whose name is not changed to the Korean alphabet.

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 04:54 PM PST

In Korean, nearly all of the heroes have their names written in the Korean alphabet (hangul). Most of their names are the same (with slight pronunciation differences), however The Butcher and Stitches have different names.

D. Va is the only character who keeps her original name written in the latin alphabet, even though she's South Korean. What is the deep lore behind this? :thinking:

300-400MS ping out of Nowhere.

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 05:32 PM PST

It started mid day during a game and I haven't been able to play a decent game since. I'm an east coast Verizon user, is this latency issue that happened a couple months ago before re-occurring?

After learning Blaze and almost grinding him to level 14, I still have difficulties utilizing Bunker Drop

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 02:46 PM PST

While the idea and execution of Bunker drop is really fun and brings the SCII terran feel to the game, I rarely find any situation where it's utility could be more useful than raw power and combat effectiveness of Combustion.

EDIT: also I've been playing with and against Blaze enough times to notice that nobody ever seems to use it...

Play a draft game, they said. It's much better than Quick Match, they said.

Thank you for the new and improved Tyrael!

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 03:16 AM PST

I hadn't touched Tyrael in a really long time. Possibly a solid year. I remember how much I used to enjoy him back in the day and for the most part I'd say the HOTS team did a wonderful job bringing him back into the fold. His mobility and utility is great, his self sustain can be nasty if you spec into it and all around he can be a huge pain in the ass to the enemy team. Only downside to him that I've noticed so far is his trait. They took Even in Death away and now looking past that, his trait feels pretty sub par. Sure it can be effective for zoning etc etc but it just does not feel like... Idk... Tyrael...

Besides that thank you for the changes! I'm not pro with him by any means but I really enjoy him!

Just had a game with a guy who told us to just let them end because we already lost for 10 minutes...then we won.

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 01:34 AM PST

From minutes 7 on it he would keep spamming.

"We lost guys don't you see it?"

"WTF JUST LET THEM END"

"You guys are seriously retarded if you think we can come back"

"Ok I stop healing then, have fun losing"

He actually did. Then we won. And my teammates and me spammed his quotes for the rest of the mvp screen until we saw he left. He blocked us afterwards.

Why are there people like this?
