Suggestion: If your Blizzard account confirms that you are over 18, Tychus should have a cigar, even if it's only visible to you.

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 09:57 AM PDT

You could even add an option to opt out of it if you really don't want to see it, but Tychus deserves a chance to have this key piece of his personality profile.

This would also be a good opportunity to give Gazlowe his cigar from his key art, and anything else that got smoothed out to please the ESRB here and abroad.

New player appreciation

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 05:09 AM PDT

The last few days I've noticed a major uptick in new players in my games and for the most part they have been non-toxic, salt free, and fun in chat. Shout out to the new folks that bring a bit of positivity to the community. Welcome.

Special mention for the Butcher who joked with Zag because her ult "eats all their dudes" before he can "run in and tackle" them. LOL

Be nice to the new kids!

Just had a game with a Thrall who obviously had no idea what he was doing! I noticed when we were loading into the game that he was on placements. I get it, last few days before new season is "play at your own risk" right? After it was clear we weren't going to be able to make a comeback, I asked if he was new. Understandably, he got a little defensive. Can't hear tone of voice in chat.

Another player on the team, who did not do well either, started ripping on the Thrall. I felt bad because my comment started it. After the game, I whispered the Thrall. Turns out it was his first HL game ever and he barely had enough player levels and characters to queue up.

So, I started to...

Help him. Teach him. Give him resources to learn. Welcomed him to the game and to ranked. Told him not to sweat the loss while at the same time encouraging him to use the resources i just gave him and get a bit more experience under his belt before queuing up again. It's definitely a more fun game when you know what's going on.

You will not believe what he replied...

He said thank you. Asked a bunch of follow up questions and we had a nice discussion about the game. He said he couldn't wait to check out HeroesHearth, Kala content, and the HGC. :)

Everyone here that complains about "low population" should ask yourselves the following question.

Are you doing what you can to create community and encourage players to stick around?

The Azmodan rework was balanced, well done and retains his identity while giving him a much needed team fight presence.

Chromies Sandclone got a buff

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 07:07 PM PDT

I was feeling smug after a kill in a game tonight while playing Chromie and I taunted. As perfect karma, Varian charged out of the smoke and instantly killed me. This broke the taunt animation so my dragon form stayed on the map for most of the game. I'm not sure about the enemy team but everyone on my team could see it.

Later on I tried to create a duplicate but as soon as I taunted again the original vanished.

From Platinum 4 to Master 300! Let's go!

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 06:08 PM PDT

Just wanted to share how happy I'm and to say that if you're positive and if you really want to improve, watch replays, fix your own misstakes and have a good mindset on top of all that, everything is possible. I was high Diamond or low Master pretty much every season, but I always drop to Platinum again before the season ends 'cause I had issues with consistency. My main goal was to fix that this season and it looks like I did it. Sure, it took me 950 games and a lot of toxic players and bad games on the way, but I did it. If I did it, so can you. Maybe not this season, but next one. Just do it! If you wanna catch my journey and some of the games, feel free to do so on my Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/arethiel Have a good one guys and see you in the Nexus!

Thread callback: D.Va can mitigate percentage damage with Ablative Armor. where no other hero can mitigate percentage damage

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 08:12 AM PDT

https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/6cauq9/dva_can_mitigate_percentage_damage_with_ablative/

Blizzard reply in that comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/6cauq9/dva_can_mitigate_percentage_damage_with_ablative/dhu6ezi/

Hey guys,

Just wanted to pop in here and say that right now nothing should be able to mitigate % health damage which makes D.Va's Defense Matrix an unintended exception so we're going to change it in a future patch. As OP pointed out, this is inconsistent with how other Heroes work and while D.Va may disagree, she shouldn't be a special snowflake (in that regard).

GG WP!

I did some testing after encountering something in a HL game a short while ago, and I actually found some interesting things relating to percentage damage, defense matrix, and self-destruct charge.

Firstly, Defense Matrix no longer mitigates percentage damage.

Secondly, Ablative Armor still reduces percentage damage. This can be seen in this gfy: https://gfycat.com/FlawlessApprehensiveKob

This was performed at level 30, and as you can see, D.Va gained 60% charge, which is equal to two healthbars worth of charge, and lines up with Ablative Armor reducing incoming damage by 50%.

Thirdly, if Defense Matrix is applied to percentage damage, it will grant charge as though the damage that was not prevented was prevented, increasing the amount of charge gained by a significant amount: When Defense Matrix mitigates Last Rites, When Last Rites is unmitigated. The presence of Emergency Shielding made no difference to this, and was simply there to help in testing.

It is still somewhat debatable whether Ablative Armor is meant to mitigate percentage damage, as the only thing mentioned by name in the Blizzard reply was Defense Matrix, but the wording of "right now nothing should be able to mitigate % health damage" tells me that this is not the intended design, hence why I'm bringing this up again a year later.

The issue with Defense Matrix still acting like it prevented percentage damage is obviously the way it is intended to work.

Also, if you further factor in Bring It On or Expensive Plating, these issues become even more prevalent.

Bug: KT's Fel Infusion heal is unaffected by Sunfire Enchantment spell power

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 11:33 AM PDT

The heal you get from the level 1 talent [[Fel Infusion]] is unaffected by the spell power from [[Sunfire Enchantment]]. It is however, affected by other spellpower sources, such as Auriel crown and the level 16 talent [[Wrath of Heaven]].

Make Tide of Sin increase Globe’s range and/or decrease its travel time

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 07:15 AM PDT

This is the kind of buff I'd like to see made to azmodans new heroic Tide of Sin.

I agree with the community both his heroics feel extremely bad right now and is probably what's making him feel so bad.

For Tide of Sin, I'd like to see maybe (!!!) a reduction in the extra damage (the 50% increased damage) in exchange for shorter travel time (maybe even instant) and longer range. I think this is a better direction to go for instead of just tweaking cooldowns, since the heroic itself feels boring as hell right now.

I think I'm actual garbage at Blaze. Please help

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 04:58 AM PDT

I can't beat anyone in lane if they have even a little bit of sustain. So now I have questions:

Am I supposed to be able to beat people with my low damage or should I be relying on ganks?

Should I be content just holding the lane and not pushing while the enemy occupies it?

I'm much better at Thrall, Yrel and Sonya, should I just play those instead? (Assuming Yrel isn't busted broken)

This Frostwolf mount alternate color looks like a fox

Posted: 07 Jul 2018 05:44 PM PDT

I saw this in a brawl earlier today and thought it was a brand new mount, but after looking through all the mounts I believe it's just a recolor for the Frostwolf mount you get from the For the Horde quest. I don't think there is a way to receive it in game at the moment, though.
