Heroes of the Storm - My favorite thing about 2.0 is how -- with the elimination of master skins and the introduction of ridiculous launch skin bundles -- new heroes come out with essentially NO skins


My favorite thing about 2.0 is how -- with the elimination of master skins and the introduction of ridiculous launch skin bundles -- new heroes come out with essentially NO skins

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 11:35 AM PDT

Remember pre 2.0 when you could buy a launch skin for a modest price and not have to pay a premium for some dumb mount you don't even want? Remember when, if you really enjoyed a new hero, you could earn their master skin and distinguish yourself from other players?

The worst!

I much prefer the new system where I can just wait a few months for them to introduce new tints of the base skin. What if Deckard was blue? What if Deckard was red? What if Deckard was reddish-blue? The options are endless.

They don't have time to create master skins for EVERY new hero with such a strict release schedule of one hero every 4 weeks. I mean sure, if they ever extended the time between hero releases they'd have to re-implement master skins or admit that they wanted to turn the old ones into loot box padding, but that's not the case. They just don't have time to create rewarding content.

Silenced players should not be allowed to use Voice Chat

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 12:03 PM PDT

Just played an unranked draft game with my friend, there was a silenced player that joined voice chat with us and proceeded to curse me out, saying racist remarks and the most vile things imaginable. Of course I just reported (which unfortunately probably won't do anything) and muted him, but in those 15 seconds of this guy just berating me and telling me to die, the damage was already done.

Silenced players shouldn't be allowed in voice comms, c'mon blizzard. It didn't phase me much, but imagine the next draft if he is playing with a young child & says this crap...

HGC Mods Are Out of Control

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 03:24 PM PDT

I get it -- sometimes the memes are tiring. The "tag_me_if"-accounts are silly, and super large spamming emotes are obnoxious to look at. But, seriously: get your Twitch (BlizzHeroes) moderators under control.

One example: during a period of time where the BlizzHeroes channel was hosting the World of Warcraft Mythic Dungeons myself (50,000+ cheers) and another person (75,000+ cheers) posted our HGCXXX3 emotes that we had to compare which ones we both had. Minutes later? Both 10 minute timed out. We posted HGC Cheer emotes into the BlizzHeroes channel while having a conversation about the cheering WHILE NOTHING WAS GOING ON.

Furthermore, throughout the afternoon and PARTICULARLY during the North American stream, the moderators were banning people for posting literally nothing. By "nothing," I mean things like Khroen, McIntyre, or other Heroes of the Storm Twitch partnered streamer emotes into the channel. It was so bad that at one point Khaldor had to tell people to chill out.

I don't need an official response. Just talk to the people moderating your chat and tell them to be sensible. Giant ASCII pictures of topless, buff Ned Flanders or a giant ejaculating penis? Yeah -- time that out. Posts with 7 of the same emote from Khroen's channel to support his team prior to or after a match? Get a grip.

Grubby's Silver League tier list! I think this is the best tier list for over 75% of players to follow. Only starts to not be completely true at Platinum and is still relevant into Diamond

I think this is the best first skin for our new hero Deckard

Outlook Imgur

Back Imgur

Even his unique mount Imgur

In case someone doesn't know who he is, he is Kame Ojisan from DragonBall

Transition from a divine scholar into a pervert old grandpa. I think this perfectly showcase what a skin does.

Insane Core Defense in HHE playoff series

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 06:27 PM PDT

I know stats don't matter, but why does doing damage in vehicles add to damage done, but doing damage to vehicles doesn't add to damage done?

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 01:12 AM PDT

Kind of makes one think that you shouldn't bother damaging vehicles, as the game seems to think it doesn't matter enough to show it any where.

I find Volskaya's lack of bushes disturbing

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 03:35 AM PDT

Take a look at that map. There are bushes but something is still missing. That something is bushes that completely block paths, vision and allow for ambushes to happen.

Compare it to other maps: http://i.imgs.fyi/img/370r.jpg

I suppose conveyor belts took bushes' place but without them the map loses a strategic element, while belts add randomness.

Edit: BTW, it's Volskaya, not Volskaya (emphasis on the first syllable).

Sudden Lag spike on first enemy appearance

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 06:32 PM PDT

At the very beginning of every match, around 0:30, when the enemy team first makes an appearance, there will be a sudden, brief lag spike. It will then even out and be fine the rest of the match. What is going on and how can I fix it?

This brawl seems to have a higher than average chance for 10x hero games

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 12:00 PM PDT

So I've played 6 games of the brawl in the last hour and I've gotten all hero rounds at least once every game.

First 3 games I had just 1 round, but the last two were 3 and 2 rounds respectively.

I played tracer, nova, and then Hammer for the second round of my first three games. I played Jaina, Sylvanas, and then Sonya for my 4th game. Finally we had one normal round in my 5th game, but then the last two rounds were of Cassia and then Greymane.

That's over a 50% pick rate for 10x hero games. It wasn't like this yesterday so maybe something was changed today. Anyone else noticing this?

Would anyone from EU be willing to help a new player?

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 05:42 PM PDT

Hello guys, I used to play back in the Beta, but stopped playing not long after that, I'm now trying it again in a different account, and I'm kinda lost when it comes to choosing a hero to buy and stuff.

I used to play with Sylvanas a lot, and I loved specialist and support heroes.

My battlenet is SirMcFluffy#2544 and my discord's Laura#6206

I'm not sure whether or not this is the correct flair to be honest, if it's not just tell me and I'll change it.

Can we get a "Favored Build" tab for heroes in our profile?

Posted: 29 Apr 2018 07:39 PM PDT

When drafting it be nice to be able to view what build people tend to pick for a specific hero to aid in planning if certain draft picks will synergize well with how a player tends to build a specific hero.
