| Small rant - Yrel in terms of tanks feels like Tyrande in terms of supports Posted: 13 Jun 2018 09:25 AM PDT Just... no She cannot peel, isn't any danger to backliners, no playmaking ability, sure is tanky, sure have some cc, but she feels like a nice lady to watch at, not tank like Diablo who can fucking rekt , do 70-80% of assassins' damage, almost stunlock, slow with lightning breath her ults don't help her team like Blaze's bunker I don't understand her limitations - her slow when channeling, her vulnerability to disrupts - why does she have that? What does she have to compensate for that? It's like poor man's shaved and physically fit Muradin [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Jun 2018 10:58 AM PDT With "Yrel is pretty underwhelming" getting a post, the counter opinion deserves its own post too. www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/87zwbi/again_please_ban_new_heroes_from_ranked_modes_for Here's a post from two months ago saying how annoying it is when Fenix and Maiev completely obliterated the competition. Calling out for balanced heroes on-release is unreasonable. The only reasonable thing to ask yourself is: do you want hero releases to be OP or UP. I am in the camp of underpowered, so my opinion is that the Yrel release is great. No, I don't want the entire meta to shift. I don't want HL to become about drafting/banning the new hero. I want them to develop a good kit (which, Yrel is a good example of), and slowly buff them if they're considered undertuned. The moment every hero is Fenix/Maiev on release, the game becomes pay-to-win. Straight up, I hate playing the game when one guy on either team is Superman, and everyone is a common thug.

| Posted: 13 Jun 2018 11:52 AM PDT Hey guys, I'm Yu-kai Chou. I mentioned earlier that Team Octalysis will be doing a community event (Public Scrim + AMA + Pro Coaching) https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/8q4rc0/official_team_octalysis_public_pov_scrim_and_ama/ Here is the AMA section. Feel free to ask me or the players ANYTHING (while being polite and respectful). Ask me: the reason I decided to become an eSports sponsor; my experiences and surprises with the experience; gamification and the Octalysis Framework (I happen to be one of the top known experts in gamification and behavioral design); my background and entrepreneur journey (I've never had an employer in my life); or anything else. For those who want to know a bit more about my work in gamification, here again is the link to a TEDx talk I did for starters: http://yukaichou.com/chou-musings/tedx-talk-gamification-just-reached-100k-viewers-youtube/ Ask the Players: how they became Pro Players; why they chose Heroes of the Storm as the game they play; how do they practice and talk about strategies; what's the best way to climb Hero League; technical questions on certain heroes; or anything else As mentioned earlier, heavily based on participation, a few folks will be selected to receive custom coaching with the Pros to up your game and get out of the up and down HL yo-yo. I wish the players could make time for me myself on stuff like that, so don't miss this opportunity! We will begin to answer questions starting 12PM Pacific Time (roughly 10 min from this posting).

| Hero Survey June 2018 (Census) - RESULTS + INFO GRAPHIC Posted: 13 Jun 2018 08:23 AM PDT Heyhey Heroes Community, This is not absolutely representative for all Heroes of the Storm players, but though mostly dedicated players participated, this still draws a fine picture of the current situation i think!
The change indication numbers connect to the last survey (Hero Survey March 2018, after Maiev release), though a very small change of just +/- 0.1 is colored yellow instead of green/red.
PLEASE ENJOY & DISCUSS! :) (Former surveys:
You can also contact/add me & stay tuned for next surveys on Twitter!.
Important: This is not official, I have no connection to Blizzard at all.
Thanks a lot to all the 4279 participants from all around the world!
Please share this, so it can reach everyone, who might be interested in it! :) edit: I fixed the length of the colored bars on the rating question. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| YREL is the first hero since March of 2016 to not have any quests in her kit. Posted: 13 Jun 2018 06:17 AM PDT because of Xul rework he now has quests but it was either him or Li-Ming that were the last heroes released with Absolutely 0 quests. Quests are a very rewarding aspect of the game and Blizz has mentioned wanting to add this to all heroes including reworks. So why did Yrel not receive this treatment? Anyone from Blizz can comment? I feel like this is one of the main things missing from her play. It's underwhelming and unrewarding. Her kit has good peel and ally protection (talented) however her DMG and cast time on abilities is awful. The weaker version of Muradins E is in biggest need of reduced cast time and increased range/damage imo. There is just too many warriors that do it better than her. The most annoying thing for me is that if an ability gets interrupted it goes on CD or 5 sec CD which I think is standard across all characters? But if not why do her Q and W go on full cooldown if stunned as if they were used? That makes her easily countered with stuns. No other tank gets stunned and then cool-downs reset it's not as if they were super strong in first place. Maybe this is a bug? (Edit: was informed this is how all heroes work maybe it's just worse for yrel because all her ability work on a cast time) Some quick solutions I can think of is adding some quests baseline or at level 1 that improve her abilities or cast times. Then up her dmg big time. I think her survivability is fine or would be better if her escape and knock back didn't take forever. Another thing I noticed was that dodging YREL is extremely easy because you know what she is charging or casting very easy for other team to be prepared. Edit : one last thing her level 20 talents are BS Garrosh gets unstoppable at lvl 4. (Was pointed out the cd difference Garrosh 40sec and Yrel 10sec) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jaina, your shoes are on the wrong feet. Posted: 12 Jun 2018 11:18 PM PDT As a father of two blonde girls, I'm sad that I have to point this out. Maybe she just had too much to drink at the Lunar Festival? Anyway, here's a screenshot where you can see that the toes of both shoes are pointing out: [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 13 Jun 2018 01:19 PM PDT Some of the most upvoted posts and comments I'm seeing are talking about the huge trade-off between charging abilities and auto-attacking. Well... you can get about 10% more AA DPS if you exclusively focus on auto-attacking and never charge any abilities.

| Blizzard Update Agent, what the hell are you downloading? Posted: 13 Jun 2018 03:52 PM PDT In the middle of a Hero League game and my computer crashes. Very odd occurrence. I restart and reconnect, it goes fairly quickly (get an SSD if you don't have one). But when I get back into the game, I notice I am lagging like crazy. I bring up task manager and I see Blizzard Update Agent doing 66 Mbps. In fact, it's been about five minutes now since I reconnected and the game is over and it's still fucking going. I've tried ending the process, it just starts back up and resumes. It's also using about 10% of my CPU and 8MB/sec on my HD. I only have two Blizzard games installed: WoW and HotS. Neither of them are downloading updates. Battle.Net isn't downloading anything. I don't know what the hell it's doing, but it fucked up my game. Also I do have "Pause downloads during game" checked in settings. It's completely ignoring that. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Suggestion: Let Yrel's Q proc at the current charge level if cancelled by CC Posted: 13 Jun 2018 12:23 PM PDT It seems unnecessarily punishing for Yrel's survivability ability to be cancelable and put on full cooldown without healing her if she is CC'ed whilst channelling it. No other tank in the game can be punished like this, they can all use their healing/survivability buttons without worrying about CC (Mura W, ETC E, Garrosh W to name a few). I get that channelling is her gimmick but it feels so terrible using her Q when heroes near you have hard CC. I feel like "popping" the channel at the current charge level, as opposed to cancelling it, is more appropriate for her Q.

| I really like the new Alterac-themed backround in menus Posted: 13 Jun 2018 03:40 AM PDT Haven't heard anybody really mention this, but the light blue with clouds and shit looks and feels so much nicer than the gloomy and dark purple backround everywhere. I hope we can keep this going forward. The Alterac-themed props in play menus I don't really like that much, but the backround itself is gorgeous. I also like the rock platform heroes and mounts stand on in item pages, much better than the ugly purple cubes that were there before. By the way the end-of-game screens haven't updated to the new rock platform look yet so I guess that's a bug or an oversight.

| This is what the Alliance Swift Ram Mount looks like. Posted: 13 Jun 2018 08:50 AM PDT I figured some of you might wanted to know what the Ram mount looked like in-game (before choosing sides).

Can we add healing stat to Yrel?
Posted: 13 Jun 2018 01:21 AM PDT
Basically the only way to see your healing is on the MVP screen, whether that's top heal overall(which would probably show the exact stat, or if you were the MVP(which just shows "healing done" in %). shown here: https://imgur.com/a/24guhvl
Also included my build, which focuses around the synergy between Gift of Naaru and Divine Favor. The idea is spam abilities when out of team fight and you get a heal every 6 seconds. At lv 16 this heal is 750. Definitely not game breaking OPOP, but it's a reasonable heal that comes really early into the game(level4), and scales incredibly well.
