Heroes of the Storm - 45% Of The Roster is Priced at 10k Gold


45% Of The Roster is Priced at 10k Gold

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 11:40 AM PDT

My coworker just picked up the game and we were talking about some of the heroes he wants to unlock. He was complaining about the price of the heroes that he wants to unlock (Blaze, Genji, Varian). I went to take a look at all the hero's prices and I discovered 45% (36/79) of the heroes were priced at 10k gold.. There are 4 other pricing tiers, and 3 below the 10k tier. It would be nice if the number of heroes could be redistributed down to the lower 3 tiers to make the game more approachable for new players.

New Hero announced tomorrow at PAX. Place your bets

Blizzard: Please give us a PROPER party finder.

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 09:34 AM PDT

My friend and I like to play team league every day. That's pretty much the only game mode we enjoy but the queue time sometimes is unbearable.

We "turn on the beacons" as we call it (I'm looking for more) but many people just want to play other game mode. So we have to interrupt the queue to invite the third wheel so he can say: "uh, ranked?" Then leave the party and start all over again.

It would be very helpful to set the I'm looking for more option and choose the game mode you want plus maybe the ranks to avoid hurting my feelings when a diamond leaves.

I know there are multiple chat rooms to reunite TL players but sometimes they just don't want to play TL.

Before someone attack me for making this suggestion: I'm just asking for a FAVOR that would really improve my gaming experience and would definitely help me find other players that like and PLAY the same game mode I like in a TEAM oriented multiplayer game.

Owlbuddy's Grandmaster Guide on Alexstrasza

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 01:47 PM PDT

Hey everyone, Owlbuddy back once more! This time with a guide on my current go-to hero, Alexstrasza. She's an insanely powerful hero, that I feel doesn't see enough play so I decided to write up my thoughts and hopefully inspire some more people to take up the Red Dragonflight.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1abkbb-Cb1dP24vcy1co3JfLl0wFd8z3z-Z-K0PaZ7Xg/edit?usp=sharing

I'll be live @ twitch.tv/owlbuddy to answer any questions, and I'll be able to answer any questions on here later tonight.

Enjoy ~!

Bug: fenix' shield regenerates while in void prison

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 08:36 AM PDT

We had a really long game on towers of doom. It's already hard enough to fight that op char for 20 minutes. But when the game deciding fight is lost because he suddenly has all of his shield back, it's too much.

This game needs more hype.

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 08:04 PM PDT

It's the showcase for all of Blizzard's IP, all their beloved characters.

Check out this trailer for Overwatch's newest event

https://youtu.be/JMgzvpqzdTU

Now compare to the hero announcements we get.

That trailer has amazing production values, manifesting in an amazing script, voice acting, sound effects, animation, and ambient music.

The last time we had a trailer it was the Alex/Hanzo one, which was kinda cool but nowhere close to this.

I get it, OW is the cash cow... but I do wish Heroes would get some love to hype it up.

NT Jin | Tank Player | AMA

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 02:14 PM PDT

Hey there this is Jin the new tank player for No Tomorrow, an HGC team in NA. I'm here to answer questions about anything you feel is valuable to know my thoughts on!

I come from League of Legends where I hit top 20 challenger & played in the amateur scene for a bit. I moved over to HOTS in August 2016 following my IRL friend Casanova, who I am now playing with in HGC.

This season I was the first #1 GM player with the highest winrate, 80% tank. I have some HGCO, Heroes Hype, Bloodlust, Nexus Games, & ChairLeague experience if there was an amateur tournament I've probably played in it.

Ask away!

ANZ team Nomia gets Sponsor

The trend of the only counter to new heroes being "CC and burst" is kinda worrisome

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:45 AM PDT

Maybe it's just me but why does every new hero need some sort of teleport or dash paired with a "protected btw" status? I mean I really enjoyed Blaze exactly for that reason. He was a breath of fresh air after all the high mobility heroes. I'm just kinda worried that the excuse of "just use cc and burst against high mobility lul" is going a bit too far. I mean, pretty much 2/3 of the roster is countered by that, it's kinda clear that that goes for high mobility heroes too. What do you think?

I have never played Kel'Thuzad, nor does he have any significance to me. I just really felt like doodling him and thought I'd share.

FPS drop since Fenix Patch

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:06 PM PDT

Hello there !

Since Fenix Patch I've experienced a lot of FPS drop and the game is unplayable atm. I tried to ask Blizzard on their forums but no answer so far. You are my last hope !

My laptop: Asus ROG GL702 VMK Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.8GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 8Go RAM

What I've done so far in order to find a fix: - Update drivers - HoTS reinstall - Windows 10 reinstall - Disable reverb sound in game - Close Bnet Launcher - Disable full screen opti - Disable DVR / Xbox One - Set Power Management into Nvidia Panel to Maximum Performance - Give Higher Priority to the game via Task Managers

Btw I'm playing on the 64b version, I don't have the memory error. And it's not a network issue because it happens even in try mode which is an offline mode.

It'll be great if you can help me !

PS: I can give you a Dxdiag if needed :)

Thank you !

Hero Discussion: Garrosh

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:54 AM PDT

Welcome to Warrior Wednesdays, where we feature a hero discussion about popular warriors every Wednesday.

Garrosh is currently the most popular Warrior since the HGC 2018 Western and Eastern clash (Link). In HGC Phase 2 (Link), Garrosh has a 79% Popularity and a 60% win rate. Garrosh's popularity on the HotS ladder based on Heroes.report (Link) and HotsLogs (Link) is around 22% with a win rate of about 49% over the past seven days.

  • Garrosh is classified as Medium difficulty to play, do you agree?
  • Why do you think Garrosh is so popular in HGC 2018, and why isn't the hero as successful on the HotS Ladder?
  • When do you prioritizing drafting Garrosh and on what maps?
  • What heroes do you draft to counter a Garrosh pick?
  • Are there any particular hero synergies to complement a Garrosh pick?
  • Is Garrosh an early, mid or late-game hero, and where are the significant power spikes?
  • Is there a particular build you would recommend to someone wanting to learn the basics of Garrosh?
  • Is there a high skill cap build you favor to optimize Garrosh's performance and create flashy plays?
  • Do you have any tips or tricks for positioning Garrosh in team fights and on rotations?
  • Do you ever take [[Body Check]] at level 1?
  • Which of Garrosh's heroics do you favor?
  • Do you think Garrosh recent rework added counterplay and balance? If not, which abilities and talents would you recommend be adjusted?

Create a 3rd ultimate for a hero.

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:35 PM PDT

Simple as that. And try to make it either fit their playstyle, or add a new layer to their already existing one.

Zarya: Protection Field: Creates a ring around Zarya that blocks damage and gives energy when hit.

Basically an AoE shield around Zarya So allies can avoid damage by standing near her.

Tracer: New pulse bomb upgrade:

Pulse Mine: Increased damage and radius when pulse bomb does not stick to an enemy.

Which Heroes do you think need Model work? Besides Arthas ;)

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:25 PM PDT

Even if it's not entirely new models but parts (like armor) I was wondering which which models people saw as the most outdated.

Personally I would have a small list

  • Brightwing
  • Uther
  • Tassadar
  • Zeratul
  • Tyrande
  • Artanis
  • Tyrael's "head"

Any older Heroes that have "gems" on their armor don't look as great since Alarak and Valeera, mostly the protoss.

What's this I hear about a hero bundle on April 15?

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:00 PM PDT

I can't find the announcement anywhere. Are they just rolling out with a bundle or is it a full on HotS 3.0 type of deal?

Being able to buff or heal someone by clicking on their portrait in the top bar

Posted: 04 Apr 2018 07:28 AM PDT

I dunno if this was mentioned before, but it would be great to be able to heal someone by clicking on their portrait. For example when the entire team is clumped up and as a rehgar you don't want to mess up your ancestral so you click on the picture of the person that is almost going to die, would be great
