Alex's 500 HP buff talent is the most fun level 20 in the game. Peer-reviewed by /hots/bros.

if you play murky you need to be euthanized

Diablo heroes > Nexus heroes > Overwatch heroes > Warcraft heroes > Starcraft heroes

>>1979773
Murky is best for dealing with shitty allies. When you can clear waves instantly and come back 6 seconds after dying it's not so stressful. The issue is that eventually you reach an MMR where people know how to deal with puffer fish and don't take the bait off chasing you. All that leaves you is octo and while it can be effective, it's easily counted by killing you so it's not the I win button it was on lower ranks.
However, of you're upset about playing against murky, the only thing I can sympathize with is that you have to babysit him and he can fuck to forever, you can't fuck up once. But he's very easy to deal with for most heroes. Li Ming is an interesting case. She has no counter to fish bribe, but he does provide her trait value.
Most murky players are bad and the fake egg talent needs to be changed. It needs to have collision detection so he can't hide under the obviously fake eggs. That shit is cancer and bribe is better anyway.

>>1979444
I hate mei's voice so much. I only realized recently she's supposed to have a chinese accent. I thought she was just retarded. I also hate her voice lines.

Speaking of shitty accents, why can we have samuro who is literally 2 flavors of racist asian caricature but queera has to speak with a British accent? I would pay money for regular fucking voices on her, orphia, yrel, and mei. Also if they made a white queera skin they could charge 50k gems for it and they'd double their profits of the last five years. We got black valla, chromie, and DVa. Why not?

>>1979896
>why can we have samuro who is literally 2 flavors of racist asian caricature
Because blademaster is an iconic character made in 2002
>why can't we have blah blah
Because this game belongs to company that's been ran by dangerhairs and onions yuppies for years

It is not forgotten as long as we keep it alive

What to do, /hotsg/man?

>>1980682
Accept and post their most played heroes.

Is Deckard shit, or just at low mmr?

Heroes of the Storm, a game that caters to the autistic.

>>1980428
D.Va is supposed to be a heavily americanized streamer/esports person so they didn't bother with giving her a noticeable accent. Earlier OW heroes were more about recognizable accents rather than authentic/accurate ones (looking at you, Zarya)
Ana came in a bit later when they started to push more for the representation angle, and making her sound more "ethnic" was their idea for beating it into people's heads that she was from Egypt
And as for Tracer, well she's a bong, and bong accent is safe stereotype, no one will write an angry petition for a character that goes OI GOVNA 'TIS CHEWSDAY INNIT
(this is all for Overwatch btw, in HotS they just used the same templates when voicing these chars)

I had an anuberak player in qm today. He was spamming every ability on cd including locust swarm. He was always out of mana and didn't peel once. I looked at his profile after the game. Playing for 10 years, level 261 anuberak.
How?
How are people like this? How many games did he ruin over the last decade? How can you be this dedicated and this bad? He wasn't a bot, he did respond to messages.

lmfao

Whitemane's lvl 1 quest feels like a trap but it's so addictive in ARAM

Zagara's lvl 4 quest feels like a trap but it's so addictive vs. Nova/Samuro

>>1982168
it has decent scaling and AAs are a significant part of Zagara's damage output so I think it's actually the best one
Medusa is only good for Infest splitpushing
Envenom is only good against like a pesky Genji or to win early trades

Seriously, should I give up on deckard like I did Lucio? I'm qm/low mmr he's fucking useless. The sleep ultimate is pointless, your allies wake them up, and they dodge your pots like it's lava.

>>1982812
if you're low mmr you should just pick a hero and play then and watch your own replays until you're not low mmr anymore
which hero it is doesn't matter at all

>>1982948
Well I got 100k gold and own most the heroes I want. I really like Lucio, but qm my qm allies don't benefit from move speed (they don't move.)
I just had a game where my artanis was so timid I had to melee deathwing to death by myself with deckard. Sapphire bonus damage ftw.

>>1982957
see>>1982948

>>1982968
Watching my replays doesn't make me not get leavers and trolls every other game. I know that statistically I should get 20% less trolls since I'm not, but it really doesn't work out that way. If I get 2 wins in a row I get a enemy 5 stack and troll the next two games. Solo que climbing is nearly impossible. I do get potty trained allies, but only about a third of the time.
I do have games where my team manages to overcome shitty qm comp or whatever, but it's so draining I can only do it a couple of times before I don't have the energy to keep trying.
Improving just gets me shittier allies. I try best to work with them, but unless I want to play murky robotically I can't carry them. On the heroes I have trouble with I get players who carry me, but only about 25% of the time.
IDK the experience you've had, but for me, I'll win 7 in a row then have 20 straight games of leavers, griefers, and players who've been playing for years but don't understand the basics of rotations, soaking, and objective values.
When I win a game after an extra 10 minutes and really close team fights because my level 2000+allies don't know you can right click the core and don't have to do an objective that will spawn when the other team receives I just don't have the energy to do that 5 more times that day.

this game is still alive?

haven't played in years, had a shit load of fun when it was brand new and slowly stopped playing it around 2022. what's deathwing and yrel like now? they were my favorites to play
>>1983075
asking this too

>>1983075
NA ranked is pretty much dead in the sense that the skill level has plummeted and you meet the same 20 people in diamond
ARAM is ARAM, you can find a game in seconds but it's ARAM and you might be forced to play a healer or something unfun
EU is still alive or so I heard

>>1983075
>>1983091
On EU you will easily find matches in all modes except for Brawls – in cases of those it will heavily depend on the time and the particular brawl. And Unranked Draft, but that was never alive.

>>1983075
NA here, <5 minute queue times for ranked at plat peak times. If you wanna play at 3AM it'll be like 10-15 minutes and a shitshow of rankings.
ARAM is <10 seconds no matter the time. Don't play QM so no idea.

I'm still amazed by the pathology of these people who've been playing for 6+ years, have thousands of games she are still complete noobs.
I mentioned the anuberak earlier, but the number of qm players who legit don't understand XP, objectives, or even that you can right click the fucking core is astounding. Do these "people" just play for years, never look into how to play better and never learn?
and why are so many latin american?

Be kind to the 40% wr 2 KDA player with 10k games played. Maybe they're disabled.

NEW MAIN MENU THEME
IT'S HAPPENING

>>1986805
Lol, maybe

Also unrelated: what's the point of them changing the holiday screen if the chests are the same and there's no quest? I guess they stopped doing event chests?

>>1987174
what did they mean by this

>Blackheart's Bay, Hanamura Temple, and Warhead Junction will enter Ranked map rotation in the coming weeks!
What the FUCK is the janny thinking? Yeah let's put the SHITTIEST maps in the ranked pool!

Dehaka fucked even further. Need 5 globes to get old z

Also they cut the slow from the fort change and reduced the area. It's so lame they might as well have removed fort mechanics altogether.

Jimmy's inspire stacks with the new minion buff, expect a lot of split push laner.

>>1987489
The janny wants me specifically to play ranked.
He's succeeded.

Do you strictly need to play three placement matches to get a rank by the end of the season? Or can you play one and end up with a rank after the season ends?

>>1987831
Better hurry up and play the other 2.

>>1987482
>Locust damage increased by 25%.
Spawn Locusts. Destroy enemy biomass. Logical decision.

Is my game bugged or is there no 2025 season 2 listed in the drop down history menu

Never mind, logging off and on fixed it

I don't think I like the tower changes... makes diving so much easier and it's hard to punish coordinated teams now.

for the love of god port this game to steam. the blizzard client is so shit

I do not like this patch. It promotes tardpushing and I will just lose even more games due to retarded teammates who never show up to defend forts. Well at least Abathur is marginally better.

>>1989757
>Well at least Abathur is marginally better.
They removed the small xp globes so his delayed soaking is worse.

>>1986208
If a player develops a bad habit and doesn't know, how can you expect change?
To answer your question though I think it can be a factor or a combination of these variables such as lack of knowledge, selfish attitude, no competitive drive, inattentiveness or just simply stupid. Playing for a long time doesn't really change the outcome of these previous points. Some people really do lack the innate ability to 'git gud'

They should've just pushed the individual map changes to live, those are all good.

>>1989784
I had a nazeebo today on my team wall me in and fail to lower it, then he walled around the immortal making it impossible to melee.

>new patch is dogshit
>the notes are in broken English

it couldn't be more obvious

The minion inspire is an awful change. 0/10 Janny apply yourself.

>>1991058
>>1991259
I'm not a big fan of the minion change, but the fort change makes malfurion, wm, and Andy much better because you can hit heros to heal without building aggro.

I suspect they may roll back the minion thing a bit, not remove it completely. That would be admitting it was dumb, but just nerf it to near useless.

>>1991394
Yea I don't mind building targeting change at all. I think that was an intelligent move but right now babysitting lanes is so mandatory that QM and lower ranked leagues are basically unplayable since the average player can't see the minimap.

Is it a zoomer thing?

no, i will not play sonya

>>1992663
You don't like Leap?

Just played a QP match with a Cho'gal Aba combo. it was the most disgusting thing I've seen. even worse than the tryhards that party up Cho'gal+Auriel.

>>1992705
Nta, I don't like any hero you have to sperg out and press buttons on every cooldown. There's no objective reason, I just personally don't prefer that kind of play style.

Did they change matchmaking? holy god have the teams been dogshit lately. every fucking game is one sided now

>>1997216
Not that I'm aware of. What they did change "recently" is the timer before the matchmaker starts to "expand" the criteria is lower. This is only relevant for ranked. There's a sort of MMR for QM and ARAM as well but considering these prioritize finding a match quickly, you're always flipping a coin on whether you'll get actual human beings or monkeys as teammates.

Janitor broke the game.

>>1997273
"Veteran challenge" works. I got my starter chest that I never got before.
>>1997221
>>1997216
Is it because of the new season and people with new accounts trying to get a good placement?

For what purpose? Its all in the replay everybody can see what you've done. Instead of admitting to a very bad misplay they had to sink even further into their stupidity?

there is no meaning, no purpose, we feed, we ping, it's mindless savagery, this Nexusverse is mindless

I opened that "starter chest" I got from playing the veteran challenge since the game was down.
It contained 3 epic and one legendary. Is this normal? >>1997875

I didn't mean to link the previous post, IDK how that happened

>calibrated silver 1
Well, it's been nice knowing you, /hotsg/, I'll just go kill myself.
I used to think being a platshitter was disgraceful...

>>1998764
This is normal. I don't think you can place higher than high silver nowadays. What your rank will be 100 games from now is more accurate.

>>1998770
I calibrated low plat a couple months ago (I did suffer a colossal loss streak afterwards to low gold)

>>1998862

Why would I smurf in this game? (Or any game, but especially this one)

did janny fix aram yet?

>>1979745 (OP)
Imagine deathwing plowing this nonstop and making hundreds of baby dragons haha. . .

This is odd. I got an email saying I was silenced, but I'm not. It looks legit and isn't telling me to click anything.
Why?

>>2002359
Check all the regions, you could have mistakenly received a silence on a server you do not play on.

>get praised like a deity first game, and get told they'll miss not having a healer like me always
>next team i'm in shits on me non-stop

>>2002411
Interesting. I only went on the other server once to check if it was also not working. I wasn't there long enough to get silenced, especially considering no one could play any game.

>>2002551
I had the one exact same ally and opposing healer 2 games in a row.
First game, "why do you have half the healing?" Uhh because I can't heal you when you're dead 2 screens away?
Second game I have twice the healing.
Only difference was feeding ally changed team.
This was iron fist kara vs enemy malf...

Did my account mmr fall down into the shitter realm while I was away? Kills don't feel like they give more xp than a single minion wave at the start of the game. Also, I often get matched with people with single/double digit account levels.

>>2003410
I think that after a long period of inactivity (1-3 years google tells me) your MMR soft resets to silver something. There's no silver rank in QM but you get the idea. The "good" news is that since your MMR uncertainty is so high right now you should be able to win most games if you simply outsoak.

>>2003413
I've racked up 50 qm games since I came back and people are still brawling mid at the beginning. I may just be a shitter myself, even though back when numerical ranks where a thing I managed to achieve rank 10.

>>2003410
>>2003431
people have been fighting for first blood at mid at the beginning of the game since the game was released
players in QM tend to play just for fun, if you want optimized matches go play ranked

>>2003410
On top of what others said you used to be able to get full XP from that until a VERY (less than a couple of weeks ago) patch by running up and grabbing orbs after the mid fight.

>>2004199
>Full xp
The only change is small xp. If you can't get full now you weren't getting it then.
>>2003965
>if you want optimized matches go play ranked
Lol, no.

Why are dumb fucking apes obsessed with bottomless flask? Why do they think that it makes any difference at all outside of attrition?

>>2005306
It's the "safe" 20, and it provides value even if Deckard dies. 20 Sleep is really good but for some reason, you might not be getting enough value out of it. 20 Lorenado can be more disruptive than helpful if you have skillshot heroes on your team. Perfect Gems is just W cdr if you don't have gem talents. Which leaves Bottomless Flask, the "safe" talent.

With the most cdr (Safety in Numbers), Q cd is 2s. So you throw your first pot, and with perfect cd management, you can throw another 4 pots in 8s, which is when the first pot comes back. You threw 5 pots but healed for 6, an increase of 20%, which is okay. It's the "safe" talent for this reason, you always get a bit of value out of it, and it's also good for core all-ins.

Why are silver shitters so toxic?

AWOOGA

>>2005353
you're trying to explain this to a blind shitter who's naturally averse to picking up health pots

>>2005558
Not being the absolute worst tier makes them think they're not terrible and it goes straight to dey head

I love this bitch, especially when enemies don't move out of the ult.

The new tower changes really suck, now that I've had some time to adjust to them. Diving is completely unchecked and the defender's advantage is essentially gone. Not enough to make me quit the game, but it's been one of the worst major changes I've ever seen.

>>2005642
Bitch i was the one throwing the flasks
Bottomless flask is shit
>oh it provides value when you're dead
only if they're still fighting over where you threw the flask which no team actually fucking does because they scatter like cowards even before someone dies, let alone after the healer goes down
Ruby perfect gems provides so much more burst healing, the important kind in the late game, its unreal and both ult talents have extreme CC packed in, even if they're a bit chaotic to land
But no, the team always wants the dumbfuck bottomless flask that gives maybe an extra 300hp a second if all five are up and being used immediately except that's still no real value in the middle of the fight when you're tossing flasks as quick as they come

the fuck is this nigger game's problem? if i pick aba it almost always mirrors, but if anyone else does it doesn't

>>2008071
Well, it happens to the guy mirroring you.

>>2008071
aba is one of only four "support" heroes and probably the most popular one so you're more likely to get matched with him than the others

>>2007699
>except that's still no real value in the middle of the fight
But is is real value, assuming the fight takes longer than 8 seconds, the minimum for the first flask to come back up. Since you're not a korean GM and neither are the 9 other players, this can happen a lot even after level 20. By the way, my math was for the maximum cdr and with perfect cd management which is not realistic. In practice you might be able to throw 3 other pots during these 8s, so another pot coming back after 8s would realistically be a 33-40% increase in healing. Of course this doesn't beat Ruby+Perfect Gems if you have a melee-heavy team but that's not the point.

Assuming the fight stays where i've thrown the potions which doesn't happen with randoms.
If even one person is willing to man up to duke it out i'd much rather have perfect rubies and otherwise i'd rather have the sheer disruption of the ults to force their dumb lizard brains to switch to aggressive mode instead of their scared prey default.

>>2015819
Mei is oppressive at low mmr, but she's under tuned. If you make the effort to get out of the op slow/stun and don't get baited into chasing her into danger when her d is up she's pretty weak by the numbers.
Now if they have a competent alerak throwing you in the stun that can be pretty tough.

Also, this patch her avalanche is buggy and goes through walls a lot where it's not supposed to. Same with stitches hook. I've seen it pull thru a gate at least 3 times, 2 of which got recorded.

>>2003965
>if you want optimized matches go play ranked

Seriously question but why do people perpetuate this lie? I can only imagine this comes from people whom do not actually play rank but have this mystical false representation of rank being more than what it is then go about spreading this false narrative from their own ignorance of the mode. Ranked Mode is filled with all kinds of problems which I personally believe is a flow on effect from players coming from QM still not understanding the basics of the game. Every rank under plat is a joke with games being entirely a coin flip based on random variables like who is the weakest player or which side is filled with smurfs playing divisions under their true rank. Bronze 5 itself is a specialized hell hole filled with the absolute worse scum of players with their own warped interpretations of how to play the game and will actively fight you if you somehow cannot mindread their stupidity. The only time when matches start to become more organized is at diamond + even then its mostly filled with one tricks who are mechanically skilled at their one tricks and can still lack game knowledge (you can still get stupid plays like invading enemy boss so you can safely do your own boss to then either do nothing or then somehow push core despite first boss was closer to core and had less structures to go through.)
In my own personal experience, I've encountered so many one tricks in ranked that warp the entire lobby around them assuming they also don't get banned out as well which then affects how well they play on their team. Need waveclear? Too bad hammer one trick is going to pick their one trick and fuck you for thinking otherwise.
I really cannot understate the amount of clown fuckary goes about in ranked despite it being the most serious gamemode dont you know. People throwing for not winning the match fast enough, Players who havent played for 5 years coming back with warm up games in ranked mode being worse than AI

used to be ride or die calamity li-ming builder but lately I've been having a lot of success with the glass cannon sniper build so long as they have no dive heroes

it's also extremely satisfying popping a full HP squishie from fog of war

>>2016860
>Every rank under plat is a joke
Okay so don't be under plat?
If you're under play you're likely playing less than three games a week or have zero desire to actually improve.
>In my own personal experience,
Discarded; you just remember those games more than the others.
>I really cannot understate the amount of clown fuckary goes about in ranked
This happens even in professional games of much higher popularity. People aren't perfect, and most people play for fun rather than to improve.

Your expectation is just quite poor. Ranked is the most optimized matches you'll get, but thinking everyone will play with machine-like precision and no errors is just a foolish misconception.

>>2019847
I tried ranked today. 5 afk/feeders in 2 games.

>>2009321
>>2010198
>>2012770
her W is absolutely good and the orbs/talents are great
the problem is that it's incredibly easy to punish when you use it defensively because it either
>A. funnels your team into an obvious death trap that almost certainly wipes your team
>B. gets wasted when you realize this is a shit idea and avoid the heal for the reasons of point A.
it should almost always be used offensively near the point where both teams collapse since it's an area of "guaranteed damage"

a nice QoL feature though would be if you can re-cast it early for a lower percentage healing, or if your Q cast immediately popped it for the full heal as long as your target was in the circle

>>2015261
i like Mei but Muradin is consistently better
in fact i'd consider Mei underpowered with how weak her toolkit can be and how easily some abilities can be avoided

>>2023016
>a nice QoL feature though would be if you can re-cast it early for a lower percentage healing, or if your Q cast immediately popped it for the full heal as long as your target was in the circle
These would be plain buffs.

is hots back?

>>2025708
I'm not sure. I only have the patience for ARAM these days, and it's the same clown show as always. At least the queues are fast.

i like probius :DDDD

Zul'jins who pick Headhunter in ARAM are a special kind of stupid. They always take 15 minutes to complete their quest and all it gives them is 10% damage that Recklessness already grants at level 1 and +1.1 auto range which is fairly irrelevant in ARAM. And they always feed for that last kill they need.

>>2027941
Zul'jin is already a 6.6 range hero. There are very few situations where having an extra 1.1 range on top will help him auto/kite better. And ever since they capped his quest to 50 bonus damage, it's better to go W build in ARAM.

fucking brass tier takes as always

REMOVE fuckjng ice block from this game, from EVERY character
No, yours doesn't need it

>>2032195
All of... *checks notes* Nazeebo? Jaina, if stretching it?

>>2032155
A skeleton with a crown is one of the coolest visuals you can get

>>2032210
Nazeebo, Jaina, Chromie, Rexxar, Ragnaros, Brightwing, Chogall, Kerrigan and, most of all, Auriel AKA ice block for anyone who doesn't have it
Also how is Jaina a stretch if hers is literally called Ice Block

REMOVE fucking cleanse from this game, from EVERY character. No, your healer doesn't need more tools to deny my kill.

>>2032254
None of these characters have an "Ice Block" except for the ones I named,
>>2032254
>Also how is Jaina a stretch if hers is literally called Ice Block
Improved Ice Block =/= Ice Block

>>2032254
Have you tried not picking pyroblast you retard?

HeroesProfile estimates my ARAM mmr to be in the low diamond range but I'm still getting absolutely atrocious teammates that feed 12 times in as many minutes.

There is definitely some sort of matchmaking going on, because I started averaging a 75% wr and now it's closer to 55% and players do seem better on average. It's just very loose matchmaking and I assume some matches are just 1-2 diamonds and 3-4 silvers on each team.

Bronze "people" are a special kind of braindead

only jaina should have ice block since ice block is a warcraft frost mage specific thing

Happy Halloween Hotsbabs

Oh so Alex and Whitemane ones are allowed, but Morales is the one you have issue with?

>>2037867

6.6 range is stupidly strong and beats everything in aram. Recklessness is average since max stacks nerf. ZJ is so broken for aram you can pick anything anyway, might be possible to also not pick talents and still do okay.

>>2034492
Hots is a dead game where diamond rank barely exists, ARAM match making is so generous you can easily 5 stack and farm pubs assuming your team has some skill to play variety of characters. The only time i've ever had to wait for a game is playing with silenced players that has caused some weird queue times for me for some reason.

This is such a funny talent. Apply 5 doses to a Sonya and suddenly she's a kitten who can't even hurt grandma. -50% spell power on a level 7 talent is crazy.

I can't believe HOTS it's back

>esports trash played in the cuck outskirts for people who are willing to pay overpriced tickets
Lol

>3 decide to afk because Aba was pushing 2 keeps and flame for not 'helping'
>let everyone push our core while the Aba is trying his best to def
what's the logic here

took a several month break from the game
>Forts, Keeps, and Core will no longer prioritize an Enemy Hero when an Allied Hero is attacked.
literally wtf

New PTR update

Appreciate the effort, but the "AI summary" seems full of hallucinations when compared to the patch notes.
>>2048338
They're making small but significant changes to the game with the last two patches it seems. I have mixed feelings about this, but then again most players feel like any change is good.

>>2048338
So what's the point of having them?

Falstad's changes are insane if they go through.
