| Remember that time Blizzard made a funny joke and said they would release the API for Hots? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 07:47 AM PDT 2 years later and still nothing. The API is the single best tool players can have to objectively evaluate their performance and talent builds. Real shame blizzard has put this on the backburner. Instead they work on the reporting system only to create a more effective tool for the trolls. Trolls just report everyone now and laugh when they get the emails saying they got someone banned.

| I would love Classic Butcher and Leoric skins Posted: 06 Jul 2018 07:56 AM PDT Having skins based on the diablo 1 models of the butcher and leoric would be aweomse! I want a smooth, shiny, cherry red butcher and a mostly naked skeleton with a long sword. Also if they could animate their movement and attack animations to look similar to the old animation that would be hilarious. I would buy these in a heart beat Classic Skins List (suggest in the comments below!)

| Leaving games *AFTER* the draft in Silver is now epidemic--Making HL a complete joke once again. Posted: 06 Jul 2018 02:45 PM PDT Over the last 3 days, TEN (10) of my last 12 games have had people EXPLICITLY leave after the draft (so not to get the HUGE penalty for dodging draft). I just lost a game where not ONE, but TWO people left after the first objective (that we nearly won). I receive (-12) personal rating adjustments for losses and (-8) personal rating adjustments for wins. So, you do the math: (-213) * 10 = (-2130) 192 * 2 = (384) I went from promotion game from Silver 4 > Silver 3 to Bronze 1 in 3 days. All the changes and hotfixes in the world are meaningless, until it's addressed the BLATANT, RAMPANT---"disconnects". HL is unplayable in this state and WILDLY more egregious than dodging a draft.

| What is Yrels role now that we have had time to get use to her? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 10:13 AM PDT What does she excel at? what can she counter well? What are some of the best combos so far? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why is Hammer (and Orbital BFG) still available in Brawls? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 10:28 AM PDT Has Blizzard even acknowledged what a problem this is? Just lost to a double Hammer team, while our team had no options for Hammer or any counters. It's just a foregone conclusion until the game is over. NOT FUN!

| Planet Cracker gets canceled immediatly Posted: 06 Jul 2018 08:55 AM PDT Just played a game with fenix and this happend to me 5 times. Anyone know something about this? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 06 Jul 2018 04:55 PM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/RWVxIc7 So the comic con in sweden is in 2 months! And i was thinking of doing a cosplay this time around. This was the best idea i could come up with! Took me 5 minutes to make! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 06 Jul 2018 12:15 PM PDT It's a good game, not perfect, but it's not like it's an ugly child in family. Dota 2 for example right now has a BIG fuckup with mmr system where a lot of people get smth like +5/-30 mmr per win/lose and Valve ain't fixing it for a long time. Que times are also big as fuck for some people cause they divided community with role ques for people with compendium. Cheaters in games which seem to appear (at least on frontpages) a lot more than here. HOTS is a good game. Don't let your thoughts that grass is always greener somewhere else drive you away from the game. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 06 Jul 2018 08:03 PM PDT TL;DR At the bottom! Image of Yrel 100 Howdy! My name is Roth, and I got Yrel to 100 the day before yesterday. It was quite the journey, but I did find myself falling in love with the hero and have a couple of thoughts I'll add in about her at the end. But more importantly, I have a story. A tale of tragedy, victory, and perhaps most fitting: Retribution. To give y'all a little context into why I did this, I've got to share a little bit of my story. I was introduced to Blizzard two months after Burning Crusade came out. I decided then that I wanted to be a Draenei Paladin, and I have had that very same character for 11 years. I have an ungodly amount of played time clocked in on him. During Burning Crusade, my prized possession was the Hammer of the Naaru that I got from a Gruul's Lair run some of my friends smuggled me into. Ever since, I have been in love with the Paladin archetype. I have Paladin T-shirts. My favorite Christmas is a Paladin Tier-2 bathrobe my brother got me. I have Paladin pins on my sun visor in my car. I love Paladins, but especially RETRIBUTION Paladins. I leveled from 1-70 as Protection, for some reason, but after hitting max level and for every expansion after I have been primarily Ret, and I like to think I push the spec pretty far. (I have some nice 99th% parses, and got to 2k in 2's as Ret) %nbsp; Alright, now most of the boring stuff is out of the way, heres where it gets interesting. Early WoD, I made a friend in WoW. He joined my guild after sharing a joke with a guildie in Trade Chat. He was also a Ret Paladin. Lets call this friend "Doofus" for now. Well, we invite Captain Doofus to our Highmaul raid. I think we had set a minimum dps requirement for our heroic Highmaul run at 20k dps, and Segeant Idiot here is pulling 14k and I think maybe he took a look at my 29k and he did the respectful thing and left the run without us having to ask him to leave. Lieutenant Dummy then rerolls to Mage so that with Blizzard's help he has a chance of beating me at DPS, cause we both know its not going to happen with him on a Ret Paladin. Monsieur Dipstick continues to raid with the guild, and Chief Stupid actually drives from Illinois to Texas to hang out and meet the rest of the guild. Admiral Dunce and I become really close friends over the next four years, always competing and trying to one up each other. We've each made the drive to visit each other several times. The stage is set. June 1st, 2018. A rumor emerges, Yrel is the next hero to be introduced to the Nexus. *A RETRIBUTION PALADIN.* I am *ecstatic.* I mean, Maraad would've definitely been my first choice. But a DRAENEI, RETRIBUTION PALADIN, WHO WIELDS THE HAMMER OF THE NAARU? UHM, YES PLEASE. I share the rumors with my friends, and I'm so excited I loudly proclaim that when she comes out I will main her, since I play a lot of melee assassins already and she will fit into that role nicely as a Retribution paladin. I even claim that I will be the world first level 100 on Yrel, since I'm so certain that I will absolutely love her when she releases. Professor Bonehead is incredulous. He doesn't think I will ever hit 100 (my next highest hero is Hanzo at 37) and much less be the first to do so. I am confident in my love of *Retribution* Paladins that in a moment of pure adrenaline I bet General Halfwit that if I am the first, he will have to dress up as Yrel - Platinum wig, horns, tight pants, hooves, the whole nine yards. He'll have to cosplay as our favorite space goat, then hold up a sign proclaiming "I was wrong, Roth was right." (Which is tantamount to torture for him.) And then he will have to post the pictures to this subreddit. Mr. Imbecile is so confident that in his infinite wisdom he decides to up the ante, and says that the loser of the bet will have to drive to the winners city for the photoshoot. (I'm in TX, hes in CO now. Quite the drive.) I am equally confident, so I oblige. The bet is on. June 3rd, 2018. Noon. I'm at work, the announcement stream for the next update is happening, and I can't even watch it. No worries, President Lummox starts blowing up my phone. "SHES A TANK""SHES A PROT PALADIN LOLOLOL" "GOOD LUCK GRINDING100 LLVELS TANKING AND DOING NO DAMAGE" I get off work, and watch the stream. Its true. I was too zealous, I had made a bet without truly knowing the terms. I half expected Private Dolt to call it off, since I would clearly not be enjoying the hero as much as I would have if she had been an assassin. Yeah right. Sir Dummydumdum does exactly what I would've done in the situation, he holds me to the bet. Bastard. And now, here we are. I wasn't about to lose a bet to a dirty Chromie main. Doofus is buying his plane tickets next week, and I'll be uploading the pictures as soon as we take them. Stay tuned. P.S. (Whoever wins that Hammer of the Naaru giveaway, can we discuss a meet up so I can just like.. hold it? Its the coolest thing in the world and I'd give anything for a picture with it. ) P.S.S (This is too long for my thoughts on Yrel, but I'd be happy to discuss her if anyone is interested!) P.S.S.S. I love you Blizzard. While Yrel doesn't do as much damage as I'd like, I DO main Ret Paladin so I'm pretty used to it. BAHDUMTSHHH. TL;DR my dumb friend bet me I couldn't be the first to level Yrel to 100, and I made him eat his words in a righteous fashion. He now has to make the trip from CO to TX to take a picture in full Yrel cosplay and post it on Reddit. The grind was more than worth it. Also Yrel is really fun.

| Azmo's Level 20 Tide of Sin/Black Pool should function similarly to Play of the Game. Posted: 06 Jul 2018 11:00 AM PDT Slight difference: If you reactivate it BEFORE it connects, Azmo travels with the globe and literally dunks on the enemy team before moving back to a safe distance PotG-style. Hanzo has proven the technology is already there. Also...Dehaka's tongue/Stukov's arm have proven the technology is there to give him MJ's stretchy arm from Space Jam if you don't want Azmo's body to move too far. Edit: The talent should also be renamed to "Geeettttttt dunked on!!!" [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Does unranked draft and TL mmr effect HL mmr? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 05:56 PM PDT According to hotslogs, I have diamond QM mmr and high platinum HL mmr, but after placements, I ended up in gold 4. I won 7/10 placement matches and had a couple of MVPs. My mmr on TL and UD are both bronze, but that's only because I've played these modes a handful of times. Is my HL mmr in game being dragged down by my bronze TL and UD, or is it just my play? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Question: Will the Swift Stormpike Ram be craftable? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 03:31 PM PDT I can't seem to find information on whether or not the Ram / War Wolf will be craftable in the future.

| Heroic Deals for July 10-16 to include a gem-only skin pack Posted: 06 Jul 2018 05:00 AM PDT The upcoming skin sales are going to include Blaze's Fel Reaver pack. This the first time since gem-only skins were introduced. While the skin isn't something amazing, I find it's good to those those packs aren't excluded from these sales.

| Team League matchmaking has to be improved somehow Posted: 06 Jul 2018 06:58 PM PDT I know its a complicated problem with no easy fix but diamond/master players just cant find games ever. I think a good start would be to prevent smurfing. Maybe bring back yolo queues and have big penalties for playing lower ranks although that's obviously not ideal. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What happens at the 7 minute mark? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 02:09 PM PDT I get a weird lag spike seven minutes into the game for a good 5 - 10 seconds. Happens almost every game, and to quite a few of my friends. It's quite troublesome because a few objectives tend to spawn around that time as well, and in the middle of a team fight there's not a lot I can do. What a hecc is going on? [link] [comments]  |
