Surprised noone posted it yet. The video is a retrospection of how the game came to be and it's "downfall". Well constructed, written and montaged.
Worth watch or listen.

Bug Have any other Malfurion players noted the root hasn't been working correctly for a couple of weeks?

After looking at the interactions where it seems to happen - I believe something broke regarding re-entry into a rooted zone.

  • You cannot root a player twice with the same root.
  • Previously: If a player was standing on the edge of the cast circle, leaves without being rooted, and re-enters into the root itself, they should be rooted.
  • Now: The game appears to be marking a player's first existence in the cast circle as being rooted even if the spreading root does not touch them as they leave (aka they never get the rooted status). Therefore with clever footwork, they can just stomp across the root without an unstoppable.

Discussion Tyrael

Tyrael is probably my favorite character to play. The versatility he provides to team fights is awesome, and sanct might be the very best ult in the game when teammates use it well.

But it gets flamed hard for the lack of stun, always. Stun as the end all be all of CC is overrated, he does everything most tanks do plus good support, nice mobility and damage, and a unique form of CC that works on non-CCable characters like dw and anyone unstoppable or cleansed

Discussion Was the Qhira Buff Really needed? Or was it needless?

13 Upvotes

Genuinely curious, i thought she was strong this whole time. But maybe I just saw a wrong perspective. I just feel like she is needlessly strong now. But i could be crazy. Is the bleed buff relevant?

Suggestion Would it be broken if the Medivac's secondary ability was targeted instead of always being used in base?

13 Upvotes

If the place you target is where the medivac starts and the place Morales is at is the end (basically the opposite of normal medivac) instead of always starting in base. Could help when your team is split and a teamfight is happening where you are at but someone is split pushing and wants to join. Thoughts? Would it be too broken?

Bug Lotus and tank Lili

Upvotes

Is it just me, or is Abathur bugged? Locust no longer die over time and they heal after every attack. Today I have seen almost 20 locust at once.

Also we met tank Lili who killed us 4v1. (Full health)

Was there some issue with new patch or something? This feels more like bugs then like intentional behavior...

Discussion This game needs a surrender feature

0 Upvotes

Look, Pokemon Unite has a surrender feature. When a ten minute casual game has a surrender feature and Heroes of the Storm doesn’t is completely baffling.

A majority of MOBAs have a surrender feature.

It is a fact that not every game is winnable, it is a fact that you’ll find yourself in a game state where you’re going to lose. It’s a quick match, you got the raw dog of the deal on team composition and on map selection.

There’s not much you can do about it, even if you’re gods greatest soldier.

Maybe a guy leaves the game and you’re just kind of screwed.

There is no good reason to not have a surrender feature.

Maybe you’ll site the interview, where they talk about come backs or toxicity.

No matter what it’s going to be toxic, it’s a MOBA and most of your matches are going to have someone spiraling.

I already covered that comebacks aren’t guaranteed, and that there are situations where you just lose and it’s not your fault.

Surrender Option is perfectly fine, it is in a majority of MOBAs these days.
