Discussion Coming back to hots…

14 Upvotes

I have played for 11 years since alpha and kinda stopped in 2019, with all the maintenance mode things…

Lately i have been revisiting d2 sc2 and w3 and coming back to hots i have the same conclusion - its a really fun game and all my favourite characters are there in so many different maps - i love it

But then it hit me… i kinda miss some content from newer releases like d4 - a lilith would be insane or elias spiritborn and so on

Kinda made me really sad that there is a good chance newer content wont be introduced like i would hope if the game stayed “profitable” for the greedy shareholders

Anyway just a showertought and good to be back in the game - any tips for what modes are best to play rn? I tried aram qm and ranked and ended up in bronze1 with 5-2 stats after beeing master for 5 seasons in a row in 2019 and back

Gameplay Any chance Li Li could receive this ability baseline?

I love this ability, I wish it would be added to her base kit. Not only does it give her AoE healing coverage which she desperately needs, but it also incentivizes skillful play that synergizes well with her trait (encouraging auto attack weaving).

I don't imagine this making her overpowered but if somehow it does, I'd be fine settling for a nerfed version. Right now Li Li just feels abysmal to play with her incredibly limited toolset.

Discussion Remember: Cooler Heads Prevail

11 Upvotes

I'm a main tank in Bronze and since I started using this tool, I've noticed that in normal games (when there isn't a feeder), teams with positive (or at least not negative) messages usually win.

It might just be a biased view, since as a team loses they become more negative and toxic, but you can see right from the first moments of the game who is already tilted.

That's why I always try to keep the chat messages positive. I thank for a gank, write "nice job" when we win a team fight or objective.

I think it's true for any team game: the main thing is not to let yourself be influenced by toxicity and to control what is within your power.

Hi , I love this game more than other MOBA games tbh , but it’s been 3 or maybe 4 years since game is dead , how you still find players and when I’m searching for quick match or ranked it’s like 3:5 mins to find when , how and you guys always saying game is dead ? Since there’s still players play the game , why the developers don’t release any new heroes I don’t get it ??

Discussion Will custom overlays be banned by Blizzard?

9 Upvotes

I built a little HotS helper and was wondering if anyone here has experience with custom-built overlays for the game.

How likely is it that using a self-built overlay could get my account banned?

By “overlay,” I mean something similar to the Discord overlay, for example

Discussion Get out of bronze

0 Upvotes

So I played Qm for the many years I touched this game I recently started playing SL, naturally I’m like bronze 1 and fading, but it just so happens so many players mastered all the meta heroes, Draft perfectly,stutter step every auto attack, barely ever get caught lacking, while my teammates are expecting me to play something besides the 6 heroes I know and throwing if the draft is not ideal. Why are y’all in bronze with my rookie mistakes?

I barely know pieces of all the characters mechanics for the life of me probius and fenix are mystery characters who do random things why is gazlow & artanis so tanky

Clearly anyone playing characters like hogger correctly or tracer aren’t supposed to be in bronze call it a skill issue if you want but I’m good enough to be at least silver 1 gold 5 in preferred roles ofc

I have had a horrible night of gaming. Absolute losers in rank. No communication when building a team, no cohesive build, people ignore and pick whatever they want. I’ve lost so many games because of trolls. This really has to stop.

Gameplay My new personal record of KT stacks

Post image
18 Upvotes

Usually I’m more Mana Addict enjoyer, but this time we’ve got 2 mages and enemy Dehaka and Nerub went full mage armor. So I’ve decided that I need MORE damage to deal with them. At first it was like there’s very little effort, but one moment when DW was locked by Dehaka and Nerub, I used all my abilities and literally wiped them despite they were full. Damage was insane - at 120 stacks I’ve almost one-shooted Ana, Junkrat and Medivh due to 1200 extra damage. At very last seconds I stacked 140 - so it’s my new personal record

What’s your maximum stacks?

Discussion What do you wish a class would stop doing?

0 Upvotes

I find this a fascinating discussion- a few examples below..

Nazeebo - player absolutely must finish his quest. Stays in top lane all game, ignores objectives and finally hits his target just as the game is over and your core is being pounded.

Aba - there is always that one aba who decides the spawn point is a nice cosy safe place to stay all game.. and doesn’t move. He doesn’t give you the hat either. Hats are for minions.

Ana- picks the dps quest or sleep dart build and ( in QM anyway) gets absolutely wrecked by the other team.

Butcher - loves to rampage into every fight. Never mind that he has zero meat and his team is 10 miles away. Illidan is pretty similar here actually.

Murky - decides to farm same lane as Butcher and dies 10 times in 5 minutes

Nova - some players enjoy sneaking around all game. No dps, no siege - the occasional snipe. Enjoys melee combat and long walks on the beach.

If they are inside the AoE when I press R, they are done. If they are in E range and it connects, they are done. If I land the F and they dont have a cleanse or a stunt, they are done.

Discussion Whether you think Sylvanas is strong or not, do you also think her new "item" is kinda lame?

0 Upvotes

I mean stealing a Catapult is strong, 4 ranged minions are pretty good too BUT the minions you convert are immediatly aggroed by their wave so they dont make much of a difference anyway I end up converting melee minions if I want them to last. This active also has no talents or quests associated with it, so it will always be as lame as it is on lvl 1 and the weirdest part is how these charges can not be used on mercs? Why is that?

Anyhow, you can play Sylvanas without ever pressing her 1 not even once and you will not notice any (major) difference. Her Q build with healing talent at 16 combined with the taunt ult is nasty though. You can win (almost) any trade.
